    Guess we'll have to disagree that it was contradicted in game, I'll use common sense, you use something else.

    You also claim that warlocks used to have sense demons in response to someone speaking about spectral sight not being exclusive to Illidan. I think you'll find that sense demons isn't the same thing as spectral sight. Spectral sight is the unique type of vision that DH's have after removing their eyes. It allows them to see everything, not simply demons as sense demons did.

    There's nothing that says this sight can't be granted to someone else for a time, as a matter of fact, sindwellers questline makes that abundantly clear. The issue still remains however, that you seem to know very little about the actual lore for someone making bold statements.
    I think I've had enough of removing avatars today that feature girls covered in semen. Closing.

One makes you more powerful while not really changing how you play the game, the other changes your entire playstyle, including SEVERAL brand new abilities like charge and taunt while active. They aren't the same.
    No, my argument is that Metamorphosis Warlock is the DH metamorphosis ability in WoW form. Again, the point of metamorphosis is demonic transformation and empowerment. The WC3 ability did that for DHs, the WoW version does that for Warlocks.

    The only mental gymnastics here is you ignoring the similarities and highlighting the minor differences. You even ignored the fact that the WoW version used to be a CD just like the WC3 version.

    Warlock death coil wasn't the same as DK death coil. Warlock Meta isn't the same as DH meta. Sorry, I have facts, you have... I don't know, I guess some very malleable opinions that stretch to try and make a point.
    So DH metamorphosis and Warlock metamorphosis both transforming the user into a demon and amplifying their abilities isn't a fact?

    Warlocks have a more powerful version of number 5.

    As for the rest, give it time. Blizzard has to pull new Warlock abilities and talents from somewhere.

    WC3 had warlocks and demon hunter so clearly they dont have the same theme. And anyone with common sense who actually know something about lore would instantly recognize that demon hunters are 100% their own identity from warlocks.

    Here's an eye opener: If Blizzard want's to introduce a new class, and they want demon hunters to be in it because it fits the theme of an expansion, they are not going to hold back because for some reason they overlap with warlocks....... They will work around it. What you hear on these forums so much is: "can't" "can't" "can't", well this just came in: THEY CAN!

    If Blizzard wanted to introduce DHs as a class, they wouldn't have them overlapping with Warlocks and Rogues in the first place.

    Monk overlaps with rogue heavily, still they got introduced.

    General gameplay and feel overlaps with rogue. Of course lore is different but its not related.

    Monk has similar abilities than rogue, like jab, combo points system etc

    The issue is how you implement a DH at this point that doesn't actually overlap the Rogue/Lock design space without taking things away from those classes.

    Is it doable? Sure, absolutely. You could give Paladins a Shadow Damage RDPS spec if you really wanted to, and sledgehammer it until it 'works'. It's more about how likely Blizzard is to do that vs. something with no precedent, which is how they handled DK & Monk.

    I wouldn't complain if DH got its own class, but I would be very surprised.

    No, it doesn't, at all. Other than seeing an Energy bar, they play completely different, and even the Energy bar doesn't behave the same way for a number of reasons. Chi is not Combo Points and plays very differently, also for numerous reasons.

    Mechanically, they have almost nothing in common. Leather and Dual-Wielding is about the most similarity they have, and they don't even use their weapons, it's just a fancy-looking backpack; plus they can use Staves/Polearms. So... Leather.

    So, I guess we're saying Druid and Rogue also have significant overlap since they both wear leather, use Energy, and Stealth. And combo points. (Except playing Feral is basically nothing like any Rogue spec other than the superficial shared resources — which is like saying Mage & Elemental are the same because they both use Mana).

    Rogue & Monk overlap in the same sense that Caster DPS that use Mana overlap.

    Add in they have nearly zero similar or shared abilities, nothing in common conceptually, one is a T/H/D hybrid and the other is pure D, Monk has no Stealth, ... And you see the difference conforms to what @Teriz is saying about when, why, and how Blizzard implements new classes given limited design space.
