It turns out a bug is making them take 15% less magic damage than intended. Fixing this will also help control the abundance of vengeance in pvp.

Third FOTM class to be found to be benefitting a bug. At this point the MDI should be restarted from scratch.
It’s pretty amazing that no one at Blizzard thought to check if tank damage taken was accurate after all this time.

Good old Bobby probably sacked the QA Team after making record profits and no one over there is checking this stuff.

I dont really think it will affect their performance in M+ at least, they will still be top tier xD
eh.
will probs just gonna have to switch things around.
still gonna play my dh. 
I really don’t think nerfing this will make any bigger difference for M+, VDH isnt top because of their magical damage mitigation its because they have an exceptional kit with lots of kiting potential combined with high initial burst AoE plus the debuff they bring to the mix.
For raids it depends what the next tier looks like and how good Havoc is, if its another tier with Havoc trash tier VDH will be in for the race for sure. If Havoc is really good they got more options.
But at the end of the day I’m pretty sure we will have a similair situation as this first tier where tanks is being chosen not because of their survival or damage but for what they can bring to the raid. Damage and survival comes 2nd to the utility. All six tanks can tank this raid.
In my opinion the only option is to fix it in 9.1. Without stripping everyone that’s been in contact with a Vengeance Demon Hunter of their achievements and rewards, how would it be fair for anyone that’s still trying to get them?
As huge a bug as it may be, the damage is done and 9.1 would be a clean slate for everyone.
Lol, yeah, cause it’s our fault Blizzard can’t fix bugs ( or balance the game )

Waiting for some next hidden bugg to be discovered, this time it could be smth like havoc dealing 15% less dmg it should :d
Time to blast my prot pally.
It’s not putting blame on you, the whole statement I made is putting blame on Blizzard and highlighting it wouldn’t be fair on everyone else in the tier who is still trying to get them (as well as not fair for everyone who got them already) 
They didn’t manage to fix Prot warri bugs 3 seasons in Bfa. Why would they fix a bit of magic dmg xD
They don’t care

they should nerf vdh so now that no one would play it for a future expansion: D
You say it doesn’t change much for dh.
In my opinion, it gives him a lot.
Dh kite physical damage, and the magic damage he can then take is reduced. it’s a perfect composition.
What’s to be discussed here … just look at the top 100 tanks on the iO rider where 90% is dh.
correction: so that fotm players can not play it in the future.
quite okay with that.
In Bfa expansion, there was only prot warri in top 300…for like 3 seasons
I was also against it, it shouldn’t be like that. as it is now it shouldn’t be either
I wish this list was colorful and not dominated by one class …
I would like people to play what they like first, not what is better
I would like all vdh to admit that they want a fair bug fix and not turn the cat with its tail and look for excuses
let them fix it, if it turns out that dh has lost so much that it is under the rest of its specialization, let it get a buff
id be okay with some boomy nerfs Soon aswell:)
okay? i dont play one anymore because its boring af, but random fact is cool too i guess.
dont think u realised i play guardian next to vengeance/havoc but u go, my dude.
