How you play Vengeance Demon Hunter

Break souls out of enemies, then eat them with big hits: that heals you and keeps you standing.

Your buttons, most important first

Demon Spikes whenever no other defensive is running. Keep it rolling: it is your armor.
Fiery Brand and Metamorphosis close to on cooldown, taking turns, so one of them is almost always running.
Fracture before it reaches 2 charges. Immolation Aura and Sigil of Flame on cooldown: they give Fury and souls.
5 or more souls: Spirit Bomb. Otherwise spend Fury and souls on Soul Cleave: it heals you.
Fel Devastation whenever it is ready: it burns everything in front of you and heals you.

More enemies: Same buttons, but Spirit Bomb matters more and Fel Devastation moves up. Put Sigil of Flame under the whole pack.

Biggest mistake: Letting Fracture sit at 2 charges: you lose souls, and souls are your healing.

Hero talents

Annihilator (best this season): at 3 Voidfall stacks, press Spirit Bomb or Soul Cleave right away.

Aldrachi Reaver: Reaver's Glaive when it is ready, then Fracture, then Soul Cleave: both hit harder.
