You know, when Demon Hunters get announced (doesn't have to be the next exp), you'll be the first person I reply to saying "told you so".There will never be a demon hunter CLASS
with the incoming demo revamp for 7.0 *because blizzard doesn't like how it plays*
they will never take meta away as it's to much part of the warlock class now *and two classes with meta would be stupid*
the most likely outcome is Demo gets split into two specs like FERAL DRUIDS DID.
one focused on demon summoning/empowering minions *Demonolgy base don Gul'dan*
The other one Meta/self empowerment *Demon Hunter based on Illidan* AS A TANK SPEC.
*as many warlocks want warlock tanking back*
Illidan also was in a sense a cloth wearer, As he worn only pants and and blindfold, he was a better magic user then ever a physical fighter *in books/lore* maybe not so much in games like HotS
this solves many and all problems, it's easier to *split*make a spec then a new class.
It add demon hunters
It gives warlocks tanking back that was added in Mist *even though it got nerfed at release but was still viable in many situations*
IT MIGHT also solve the lack of tanks problem because everyone and there mother wanting to be a Demon Hunter *although i wouldn't be surprised if they added a talent like Warriors Gladitators resolve*
It also fits lore as KANRETHAD was obessed with Illidans powers and wanted to learn to control them himself *and he was a warlock*. The questline it self also hinted at Illidan being Alive. So it would not be out of reach Illidan returns to train a new set of demon hunters from THE BLACK HARVEST, which does comprise of horde and alliance warlocks, so it is easy to explain why both factions get .
This would also allow to open up Night Elf Warlocks
*maybe even draenei cause we had a expansion full of them and i want to be one of these two*
