Un-pruning and Demonhunters

[DrIvoRobotnik]

So from what they have said so far we are going to get some massive un-pruning of abilities. They even question if they over did it in some cases.
This brings me to the question, what on earth have they done with demonhunters? A class that had very few abilities to begin with and has no distant past to bring abilities back from. Are we going to see new abilities and how many?

Only thing I can think of is maybe mana burn abilities far as demonhunter stuff goes. Anyone got any idea or speculations?

They could unprune DH`s third spec.

I liked what this person said from another thread.

In all honesty though, why fix something that isn't broke? I'm fine with the way DHs are now.

But nah, third spec, while i agree it would be nice, i dont know what they could have that wouldnt just feel lame as shit and go against their lore.

I want fury of the illidari back.

Just hoping they reduce Havoc mobility and self-healing!

the DH at best will just get a couple of new spells. it will be a class that is barely given much attention at all. some tuning.. a new whizzy bang spell or 2.. thats about it.

and all because of what you've already mentioned, this class doesnt have a playable past in which spells were removed. so there is nothing to bring back.

i personally hate the DH class and wish it was never created.. but thats just my opinion. realistically, this class will only get a minor change by adding just a couple of new things.

Healing with Fel is possible. Warlock wouldn't do that, as he doesn't care about his allies but demon hunters are noble people.

They will probably steal some of the warlock abilities again and call it unpruning

Agree - both specs seem to enjoy a decent amount of popularity at various levels of skill in various game modes. I havnt seen an idea for a 3rd spec that fits and doesnt feel forced and awkward, or just lean too heavily on other specs.

How is ranged spec more agaisnt the lore then tanking spec ? I thought all demonhunters before Legion were Havoc just as Illidan. That "brute" Metamorphosis was made out for Legion aswell no ?

[docterfreeze]

DH has a lot of cool active abilities in talents and honor talents, they just have to balance them to not be shit.

Taking away mobility of DH would destroy any class fantasy. It's like taking stealth away from rogues

Ranged DH is called destro warlock. Physical dmg DH..? I Wardern would make more sense in that regard, maybe they could let you choose if to join wardens if you separate from Ilidan or As Sargeras is now locked, they could join wardens? IDK. Would require a significant questline to unlock it, but could possibly be cool.

You want them to turn a mobile glass cannon into a sluggish glass window?

What warlock abilities did they steal?

[FelPlague]

Healing with Fel is possible. Warlock wouldn't do that, as he doesn't care about his allies but demon hunters are noble people.

Healing with tel is not really possible. It only really works on corrupted. And in itself corrupts.
A fel healing class just would be massively lore breaking.
Death knights unholy magic can heal. Why can't they heal allies?

Because the class literally is broken since BfA and pöaxs like trash?

And move them from honor talents to actual talents

Are we just supposed to divine what you mean by broken? And what on earth is "pöaxs" supposed to mean?

I've always felt like my Vengeance DH had too few abilities.

That's probably the main reason why they aren't touching DH much at all. Plus, we have barely any knowledge of what systems will be in play (systems like essences, azerite traits, tier set bonuses, etc.) that will alter how many classes will pan out. While essences/azerite makes DH's feel great, DH's are pretty darn solid even w/o the traits in terms of play style where there's a ton of classes/specs that feel terrible when you take those aspects away. If it ain't broke, don't fix it!

...although when I'm PvPing against a DH, the amount of self-healing and survival w/o sacrificing any DPS does feel pretty OP. That could probably get toned back a bit in PvP.

Warlocks got an entire spec's playstyle removed with the advent of Demon Hunters. Just make old Demonlogy with old Metamorphasis Demon Hunter's 3rd spec.

Yes let’s reduce stuff cause that always makes games more fun.
