Blizzard's Midnight API restricts addon access to your personal buffs and cooldowns during M+ and raid — the exact content where aura tracking matters most. The addons listed here work within these restrictions and cover what WeakAuras used to handle.

Vengeance Demon Hunter · Mythic+

Curated for Mythic+ — Sigil of Flame AoE positioning on pull, Throw Glaive and Sigil of Silence interrupt coordination, and Fel Devastation for healing-through-damage on dangerous packs. Reviewed 28 Jun 2026.

Talent Builds

Using this build

Annihilator Mythic+

Annihilator

Recommended M+ build — Annihilator with Sigil of Flame AoE and Spirit Bomb for high self-healing through damage. Strong pull-to-pull sustain and competitive damage output with consistent mitigation coverage.

Annihilator Progression

Annihilator

Optimised for high-key progression — tighter Sigil of Flame and Fiery Brand timing to maintain mitigation coverage while sustaining AoE output on larger pulls at higher damage intake.

Custom build

Record your own talent build alongside your addons — it's included when you share your setup. Get a talent string from the Wowhead talent calculator or export directly from the in-game talent tree (press N → share icon). Paste the URL or the raw string — both work.

Addons

Why no WeakAuras? Midnight's API blocks WeakAuras from reading your buffs and cooldowns. The addons here cover what it used to handle.

Missing: Sigil placement preview. Pre-Midnight, WeakAuras showed real-time Sigil landing zones using targeting API data that Midnight now blocks. No addon replacement exists. The in-game ground ring indicator is your only guide — position yourself between the pack and the intended pull boundary before dropping Sigils, and practise consistent placement angles per dungeon.

Boss timers

Works in Midnight Updated 20 May 2026

For Vengeance Demon Hunter, precise timer data is critical for mitigation planning — knowing a tank-buster is 5 seconds away lets you decide whether to Demon Spikes now and have it back in time, or hold it for the actual hit. LittleWigs is required for dungeon boss modules — install both.

GTFO

Advanced Ground effect alerts

95.9M downloads

Works in Midnight Updated 1 May 2026

For Vengeance Demon Hunter, standing in ground effects while tanking is particularly dangerous since your mitigation cooldowns are needed for boss abilities, not environmental damage. The audio alarm is a passive safety net that fires without requiring any attention. Install knowing it's significantly more limited than pre-Midnight — it covers specific tracked boss mechanics only, not general ground effects.

Details! Damage Meter

Damage meters

345.4M downloads

Works in Midnight Updated 10 May 2026

Tracks damage and self-healing together. Low Spirit Bomb healing means you're spending Soul Fragments before pooling to 5 for the efficient burst — the conversion of damage into self-healing is Vengeance's core loop.

Nameplates

Works in Midnight Updated 20 Apr 2026

Cast bars on enemy nameplates so you can see which mob is casting the interruptible ability for Throw Glaive or Sigil of Silence. Also confirms Sigil of Flame is landing on intended targets from the debuff state visible on each plate.

Targeted casts

Works in Midnight Updated 2 May 2026

Visual and audio alert when an enemy targets you with a dangerous cast. Identifies which hit is the real tank-buster so you use Fiery Brand or Metamorphosis on the right one rather than panic-pressing a cooldown on a moderate hit.

OmniCD

Healer externals

33.4M downloads

Works in Midnight Updated 27 Feb 2026

Tracks healer externals from the combat log — seeing Ironbark or Pain Suppression available lets you eat a tank-buster knowing a save is incoming rather than burning Metamorphosis proactively. Also shows interrupt gaps for Throw Glaive or Sigil of Silence.

Works in Midnight Updated 15 Mar 2026

Configurable timers for your mitigation cooldowns. Tracks Fiery Brand (60s), Demon Spikes (2 charges, 20s recharge), and Metamorphosis (3 min) so you triage correctly — Spikes for regular melee, Brand for medium tank-busters, Meta for genuine emergencies.

BetterBlizzFrames

Unit frames

6.1M downloads

Works in Midnight Updated 17 May 2026

BetterBlizzFrames keeps the default UI intact while adding castbars on your target and focus frames, class color health bars, and absorb tracking. For Vengeance Demon Hunter, absorb tracking matters — your own Metamorphosis absorption shield and external absorbs from healers appear in the health bar so you know your actual effective health pool. A one-addon upgrade with no layout overhead.

Dominos

Action bars

22.2M downloads

Works in Midnight Updated 10 May 2026

Dominos gives you full control over action bar layout. For Vengeance Demon Hunter, a dedicated defensive bar keeps Fiery Brand, Metamorphosis, Fel Devastation, Demon Spikes, and Darkness at consistent visible positions so your main bar stays focused on the Sigil of Flame and Spirit Bomb rotation.

Tukui.org addon

Works in Midnight Updated 15 May 2026

Most of what ElvUI covers for Vengeance Demon Hunter is better handled by BetterBlizzFrames (frames), Dominos (action bars), and Platynator (nameplates). Only install if you want a fully unified UI aesthetic and are prepared for the configuration overhead.

As Vengeance Demon Hunter, pull planning is your primary responsibility — MDT lets you see mob compositions in advance, identify casters that need a Sigil of Silence pre-pull, and plan where Sigil of Flame covers the most enemies.

Keystone tracking

Works in Midnight Updated 20 Mar 2026

Astral Keys adds a tooltip to players in your guild and friends list showing their current keystone dungeon and level. As a tank, knowing the DPS experience in your group before the key starts helps calibrate pull size — a group with lower M+ scores benefits from smaller, cleaner pulls while the team learns the route.
