I literally have no idea, what other race can be a demon hunter

[Soon-TM]

Both trolls and dwarves have more class options than humans though.

Only because of shamans. And with KT shamans being a thing now, the difference is pretty much non-existant.

[Elestia]

Well there *were* already fel Nightborne warriors in Legion (presumably all dead).

Void elves should have gotten any Belf DHs that were in Silvermoon / part of void experiments... (presumably none were part of this.)


They already made sense in the lore, but that point has long since past.

[Aresk]

Any race that can be a warlock would make sense as a demon hunter (Human, Gnome, Dwarf, Worgen, Void Elf, Dark Iron, Mechagnome; Orc, Undead, Blood Elf, Troll, Goblin, Nightborne, Vulpera), as they've already exhibited the ability to channel fel and use demonic power. Then we can go further in lore to find examples of people in different races that became demon hunters. Draenei make sense as eredar, and night elves obviously make sense too; I could see Kul'tiran as well given that humans already make sense. On the Horde side, we have the Zandalari demoniacs, and we have the Highmountain feltotem; mag'har and tauren make a lot of sense given their physical similarities to orc and highmountain, which are already on the list.

So basically, the races that don't make sense to me are pandaren and lightforged (with Kul'tiran, Mag'har, and Tauren being contingent on their associated core/allied race getting the class). Even lightforged are a bit iffy since Illidan was being turned into a lightforged by Xe'ra, but it's not clear if the process can be completed in the other order (lightforged first, then demon hunter).

[Kaibhan]

Any race can be because race restrictions are stupid.

[Dellis0991]

Any race can become a demon hunter technically. They just have to be trained, blind themselves, absord the demon soul and all that jazz.

humans have every class except dh now.

[Lolites]

They let undead be hunters, so making sense as a reason is right the fuck out the window.

right, bcs there is soo much lore behind hunters not being able to shoot a bow...
hunter is one of two classes (with warior) that every race should have as it doesnt depend on any kind of skill that cant be learned, so if anything humans and undead should have it from begining

^ty every race has to hunt to eat ot need archers or riflemen in the armed services.

[Clone]

Orc and draenei seem like easy choices.

[mickybrighteyes]

only when including worgen and kul tiren as human.

[Selastan]

Draenei and undead are my primary choices, although nightborne and void elves are a good choice, just by virtue of being elves. With the Legion defeated, though, the idea of the Illidari training new Demon Hunters isn't likely.

[Venziir]

humans have every class except dh now.

Obviously I meant "stormwind"-humans, not every single sort of human as in Kul Tiran or Gilean.

[Devilyaki]

Humans cause why not..

[Razion]

Any race in conflict with the Legion (read: all of them) would have people seeking revenge against the Legion - it's a world-wide threat that corrupts and kills indiscriminantly. People would have sought out Demon Hunters either in Illidan himself or those he taught. When the Dark Portal opened it was a calling card for anyone seeking vengeance to seek him out. And especially since Legion we have no shortage of DH mentors in capitals. At this point the methods should be readily available for teaching and training.

Your own link literally says:

"Blizzard stated that Zandalari have no connection to fel magic and therefore cannot play as warlocks."

So if they have no connection to fel... how can they be demon hunters?

[Romanthony]

Keeping with the elf Theme Nightrborne and Void elf, though lore wise, Void elf, most likely, wont be able too

[Caerule]

Scenario: We return to the Black Temple to find that Akama has been using Illidan's teachings to redeem Fel Orcs and Eredar, giving them the techniques and tattoos needed to regain control over their demonic instincts. These then join the Illidari.

Orc and Draenei Illidari unlocked!

[VinceVega]

I don't see a problem with other races being DHs.

I see a problem with the reasoning why anyone would do that to themselves now that there are only splinters of the old legion remaining and they probably will never come back to Azeroth after that blazing defeat which basically killed every major demon and leader while also destroying their resurrection machine.

[BB8]

Technically Illidan also had Orcs and Man'ari Eredar under his employ as well though this was back when he was a villain so not sure if they would be possible choices now.

Yes Orc and Draenei for me too.
Both races has been "infused" with demonblood and magic. Some of them must still have that and wanna fight back.

[Skytotem]

So if they have no connection to fel... how can they be demon hunters?

It's a soft retcon, as noted in the same link, easily repaired by saying it's an incredibly niche practice seeing a resurgence.
