Demon Hunter Or Death Knight For Tanking & DPS. (Pve & PVP)

Hello, Just wondering which one is better currently? I will most likely play tank, but sometimes I’ll switch to DPS. These 2 classes stand out the most for me, so I’m wondering is which is better for Dungeons, Raid, PVP, and Solo PVE content. Thanks. :slightly_smiling_face:

I tried both as tanks recently and hated both for different reasons. DK was great but the rotation was annoying and unfun. The demon hunter was very simple and very fun but the damage was trash in tank spec.

I have not tried either of them as dps.

??? What

Well, all the high level mythic and raiders say demon hunter is best tank because of the highest levels of passive magic resist.

Which part doesn’t make sense?

The no damage part…

Give a good read up on icyveins and see what you like better.

I personally think DKs are more fun than DHs.

Fighting a single target they do next to no damage, especially against players.

Vengeance #1 overall for M+, but middle of the pack for raiding.
Havoc is among the worst specs in the game right now, but one buff away from resurfacing.

Meanwhile Blood is a middle of the pack pick for M+ and a top tier pick for raids.
Unholy is the top DPS spec in the game theoretically, but getting a small nerf Tuesday.
Frost is comfortably middle of the pack too.

I am biased, but I would recommend DK.

More options, and frankly, the game needs less flavor of the month Vengeance DHs in keys.
Its by no means an easy spec to maximize, despite what opinion has collected, mostly thanks to Havoc.

Hmmm no clue on pvp but on single target bosses well I do dam good on my Veng but meh what ever

Truth, but DH has some seriously amazing self healing and are incredibly durable. Also, their damage isn’t nearly as important as their survivability. For keys I’m leveling up a DH right now. Sticking with Paladin for raiding though.
