Demon hunter 3rd spec?

[Susanoo]

thats fine. Demo is a shitshow anyway and quite frankly once we lost Meta and Meteor (or whatever it was called that turned you into a meteor to avoid falling damage) I see no reason to play it.

Its been several expansions where weve only really had 2 viable specs anyway so it wont feel bad if we just give it to DH.

They could also create the Edgelord spec. Theres no abilities, just emotes about how much more youve sacrificed than other classes.

It is seriously baffling how blizzard cannot figure out demo lol. If you are a master of summoning demons then you should be able to control the strongest demons. Come on class development give them CD summon Pit lord, Eredar, or Dreadlord that each does something different for the warlock. Anyways off topic rant, but I believe DH are fine with two specs

[Seranthor]

in all fairness , wheres that 3rd spec? isnt it time for it already?

In all fairness you have DPS, and you have tank... what '3rd' spec are you looking for?

[Nathasil]

I would much rather want to see Blizzard cut every other class down to 2 specs which are as up to date and fun to play as the two Demon Hunter has, instead of dragging specs like Sub+SV along just for the sake of them always having been there despite nobody at Blizzard having any vision for them.

The game would be better if the ten specs which the community ends up playing would be better overall - instead of designing the 27th spec that almost nobody will play in any part of the game.

ranged dps, we could really do with another option aside from druids for tanks + ranged dps

This^ is why I'm intrigued to see what Shadowlands brings. If we go back to 12 classes instead of 36 (face it, if all your rotational buttons change then that is a different class) it could give us a new and exciting way to play the game. I can't wait to see how this plays out.

[EternalBany]

dont get your hopes up
this team has no talent and plays safe
I thought we established this is no longer our game and company

[Capultro]

Aje, time to get our healing spec. Hell yea

I hope that, never, never, this never happens. What the class needs is a remote spec with bow, since if you caster him with a scythe nothing would differentiate him from warlock, and if you put it to heal, he simply does not have sense, because the fel does not heal, corrupts all life.

3rd spec with bow is very needed.special demonic bows would be nice ... i want this a lot really.

I think it's not necessary to remember that we only have one class that uses bow

[Niffo]

they arent doing class overhauls. wouldnt hold your breath for a 3rd spec.

What???? BFA sucked because of these lazy class gameplays, would be sooo stupid if they keep them the same for 3 expansions.

[matrix123mko]

Healer. Fel can be used to heal but it doesn't fit warlock fantasy. Demon hunters, at the other hand are good people.

[Isabella Smith]

only hope on RANGE DEMON TRANSFORMATION spec, you melee untill you got 100 souls = then you transform into black shadow demon that throws magic arrows would be so cool.

Uh this would be awesome!

[Kaver]

They said they wouldn’t do class overhauls compared to for example Survival Hunter in Legion.. but they are definitely going to change the gameplay for a lot of classes.

Based on that logic, Rogues should just have 1 spec.

I main a Rogue. I don’t like alts because I don’t want to do the same grinds over and over again. So I really enjoy having a class with multiple dps specs so I can “mix things up” without having to play another class. I would for example get very bored if I could only play Outlaw.. hell I even play Subtlety now and then even though it sucks a$s right now :b

DH should have 2 dps specs and the reason is simply because it is fun to have multiple specs. There don’t have to be more reasons than that.

I would also be okay with fewer specs in general if Blizzard could actually manage to give us some customizability. And I don’t mean a lot of new weird systems. Just give us some talents which actually alter your gameplay and work. Right now all specs have 21 talents but most of them are dead due to bad design or basic tuning.

And considering that MoP (and to a lesser extent WoD) Demo was removed from the game entirely to make room for DH, the least they could do is USE the room they made by destroying the one spec I truly enjoyed in the game for the past 10+ years.

[Krewshi]

It could be a 2handed dps spec. Kinda like that scythe demon hunter in Legion

[Kithelle]

What spec would there be?

Healing spec doesn't make sense....ranged spec doesn't make sense...2H melee dps, we really need that?

Allari the Souleater is the blood elven demon hunter of the Illidari who wields the Scythe of Souls.
My wishes melee/healer spec, harvesting souls and use those to heal the party or yourself or apply soul barriers. So in short DISC priest but then melee.

How come ranged spec does not make sense? Demon Hunters in Warcraft 3 are ranged hero when they use meta.

I'm not sure cooldown based form shift is enough to really justify a full on ranged specc, especially when the in game version doesn't function at all like the ability you're referencing (beyond the fact that it's a form shift and demonic in nature)

outside of metamorphosis, demon hunters were always melee based.

edit: another thing I remember is literally every hero in wc3 could be converted to range via items anyways, but that was never hero specific.

[Mirishka]

I've said this elsewhere but IMO, if we get a 3rd DH spec (which we won't) it should be based on this character: https://wow.gamepedia.com/Allari_the_Souleater

Soulrender: a 2H/scythe-wielding spec that combines standard DH abilities like eyebeam with melee attacks which rend the target's soul (ignoring armor). You could create some fun cooldowns with a spec like that, and using a 2H would make it stand out from H/V.

[Raugnaut]

Would be nice if DHs could get 2 functioning, viable specs first. Solo spec class for sure!
