Because they DON'T derive their power from the same faiths. Paladins derive it only from Light, Priests derive it from Light and Shadow. What is so hard to understand about this? Paladins DO NOT and CAN NOT have faith in the Shadow.
Warlocks and Demon Hunters would still derive their power from the same places: Arcane and Fel.
Does it make sense for a Hunter to do something other than hunt? Of course. Does it make sense for a Demon Hunter to do something other than hunt demons? Of course. Does it make sense for a Demon Hunter to never hunt demons? No.
So despite learning all this information about demons, seeing dozens of different types, and all Demons having some form of existance with the Legion, there must be a different source of demon magic. You realize how silly you sound, right?
Even if there was another source that Blizzard pulled out of their asses to make Demon Hunters exist, Demon Hunters absorbed their original power from the Legion. Which has been confirmed to be Fel magic. So it STILL wouldn't make sense.
Actually, I'm making the argument that Demon Hunters used demons of the Legion, which we already know use Fel magic as their source, to empower themselves. Meaning, their source is Fel magic. We can already confirm that based on what we know of Demon Hunters. You're simply assuming Blizzard will make something new, which is very, very silly. Because if I wanted to, I could say Blizzard will make Demon Hunters not exist tomorrow, and it'll have just as much backing it as your claim that Blizzard will just make a new source of Fel magic.
For the third time in the past two pages, I have never once said it had to be based on existing material with no deviation. What I AM saying is, we know ENOUGH about Demon Hunters to pin them where they belong. We know they use demons of the Legion to empower themselves, and we know demons of the Legion are empowered by Fel magic. We know they fight with two weapons; Warglaives specifically, of which many classes in game today can wield a la Warglaives of Azzinoth. We know their starting point (Illidan in Warcraft III) has been wholly absorbed into other classes. We know they have no reason to exist other than a vocal minority demanding it, as proven by many, many, MANY threads trying to make Demon Hunters work, and NOT A SINGLE ONE SUCCEEDING SO FAR.
