If you could make your Demon Hunter another race, what would it be?

[Razion]

A change the game wouldn't be able to cope with yet, I think. Haha. A little like Demon Hunter from D3.

Bow/crossbow in combination with fel magic, or dual-wielding crossbows with a hatred resource?
The current Demon Hunter already utilizes resources like Pain and Fury. Hatred doesn't seem like that big a leap to me.
Abilities like Strafe also seem pretty similar to what the DH already uses - lots of mobility.
As long as things like the Bolas or Grenade abilities were modified to be "Fel Bolas" or "Hate Grenade" it'd probably work, I think.

Was more, I've grown up with the game and how Demon Hunters are basically so limited a being. But instead they cracked open a prison with unlimited demon hunters (apparently) and they are bouncing around. I more liked the, down to earth, version. Made more sense to me to have people specialize in demon hunting since the majority of the actual were gone, or hiding.

Imagine if you will an eight foot tall, beer bellied, generally overweight teddybear gracefully gliding along on his stubby little wings.

[edit]

Isnt it well past goddamn time we had Draeni warlocks?

[The7]

And people say Pandaren is a hated race...

[MechaCThun]

Orc and draenei.

Lore wise, given their direct dealings with the Burning Legion on Draenor, each race could be seen of having a deep rooted heat towards them.

Also:

[Manabomb]

Tuaren or Pandaren for sure. Elves are great and all, but they aren't "class exclusive" great.

[Deleted]

Pandaren. Because so many people hate them and it would be a fun Metamorphosis

[Felaris Stormrage]

The only race that wouldn't look ridiculous is maybe human.

Draenei could fit the lore, but then we would have flying space goats.

[Friendlyimmolation]

If there were other options, the only thing they should be would be fel infused Kro'kul and Fel orc.

[Deleted]

Why is N'elf and B'elf even on this list?

OT: I'd choose Draenei for the Alliance and Orc for the Horde. Maybe because it would fit the lore more and because I'm not really imagining any other race besides these as Demon Hunters.

[jaber2]

Trolls and Worgens would be ideal

[Swalload]

Big ass flying cow.

[Thagrynor]

Tauren of course, no questions asked

This. It would be hilarious watching a Tauren zip around a room as a DH.

[Florena]

I feel Draenei and Orc would fit in well with minimal retconning. I'd personally like draenei demon hunters. Just say that some orcs and some draenei came to Illidan after he defeated Magtheridan to seek vengeance on the Legion for what they did to their people/home. Less clunky than worgen and goblin dks I think who are races that hadn't joined the Alliance/Horde as of the point in time the quests take place.

It wasn't a question of whether or not races approached him. The retconning would be Illidan's ideas that only Elves could be Demon hunters.

Where is that stated?

Prob spacegoat, but only if they looked like spacegoat rares on Argus

[Friendlyimmolation]

The "class fantasy" of Demon hunters is elves, and I believe it was in the Illidan book that they thought only elves could survive the ritual, and even then only one in five did.

Would abilities like "Stake Evil" or "Skull Shot" feel appropriate for Demon Hunters? Would it be too far a departure if the abilities took fantasy from hunting or exorcising other kinds of evils from traditional fantasy?

Why is N'elf and B'elf even on this list?

Lots of reasons. People might not want to use the free change, they might feel elves most appropriate for the class, or they might want to switch to the other faction - but would still pick elf. This data is also important, because not everyone if they were given free race/faction changes would only take the new races. Might be an interesting hypothetical, but I think this is a more real scenario so maybe the data would be more useful.

Oh, okay! Thanks for the clarification
