If you're butthurt cause a dh always kill you, you let your frustration out on a thread on a forum about their class? Ye makes sense.

I just don't blame people for being bitter when WW plays so similar yet performs much worse, and it doesn't feel nice playing a spec only to have a shinier version under a new class come out and outperform yours.
    I totally get that too. I mean, i'm not maining monk because i like the dhs are performing so fluid and so good to play atm. WW monk feels a bit lost in time atm. I barely even see a WW monk, i see healer MW, and all but really rare seeing a WW monk. It's about speaking about the issue without having to put an entirely class down and want them to stop existing. Or a person that wants to play one.

    You're implying that I'm blaming Havoc players for the spec being insanely similar to WW. That's Blizzard's fault, even though you clearly take offence.

    OT: I hope they get dialled back in PvP because they're too low-risk high-reward.
    Yes, but he didn't just say that he thought Havoc and WW were similar, he was making an inflammatory post about wanting Demon Hunters deleted because he felt hard done by.

Just against against people in arenas can be ridiculous, and even open world, we are losing hp? Oh look a mob, - killed! ez hp back.
    Tbh I might be shittily geared, but having the heal from killing a mob in the open world is what often saves my life.

    My Havoc DH is fairly squishy and doesn't have a self-heal ready often enough to sustain themselves through constant damage if not for that mechanic.

    I can't comment on PvP. I've always loathed it and I go out of my way to avoid it, so that might be true. As somebody who's mained havoc Demon Hunter since they've been introduced, I'm just feeling a foul wind coming, indicating that Demon Hunters are likely to get mutilated in Shadowlands.

    I mean you can easily infer the comparison straight away when he mentions a fast mobile class and calling it Monk, but it's drowned out with major and petty salt.

    It saves mine. lol How many times i kept alive because of the souls of mobs. Maybe it's because you're as you said "shitty geared" then you die so fast that the soul doesn't heal you enough for the damage you take.

    And i also feel they are going to get nerfed too in Shadowlands so, no point for more haters.

    No, what I mean is that the soul feeding mechanic is what has saved my hide more times than I can count, not that I die despite the mechanic's existence.

    And yeah, I can only pray that they don't get totally unrecognizably torn to shreds. It has happened too often that a class gets reworked so hard it's barely identifiable anymore.

    Gotta admit, a polearm DH spec doing healery things sounds kind of interesting, especially if Blizz can learn to play nice with DPS/Heal/Hybrid mechanics in Shadowlands.

    I personally feel that a DH third spec would be another tank spec, with a shield and one warglaive, the Spellbreaker. Uses mostly shield-type abilities for active mitigation, runs on mana as primary resource, shields and defensives cost large amounts of mana, and the player puts up 'wards' like defensive sigils, which trigger on damage, reducing damage and granting mana returns based on damage prevented, feeding the basic tanking rotation loop, but tying the spec's staying power to incoming damage.

    Having a large pool that's tricky to refill makes their tanking niche clear, they're a front-loaded tank, their weakness is long drawn out fights, or fights where unpredictability causes them to waste wards. The skill challenge is similar to a healer's, you can be fantastically tough if you blow resources, but keep an eye on wasted resources, keep an optimal flow of damage in and out. Overtank, and wards don't have enough damage incoming to convert into mana and you'll blow up in the end, all tanks do a resource dance, but currently we don't have any specs running a model like this one, despite it being a pretty standard gameplay loop for other spec types such as Arcane and every single healer.

    They need to do something with VDH's defensives and utility. It's ridiculous that Havoc has more Defensive potential than Vengence.

    Havoc:
    Chaos Nova Stun
    Blur personal CD
    Darkness group CD
    Nearly invincible in Meta thanks to Leech Talent which is basically baseline.
    Blade Dance giving 100% dodge every less than 10 seconds making certain mechanics completely irrelevant if the DH isn't a braindead mongo who just spams it on CD (which is VERY rare).

    Vengeance:
    Shitty Fear Sigil
    Silence Sigil which can be pretty useful but only if you take Quickened Sigils or know ahead of time when exactly a cast is happening.
    Demon Spikes which is basically a bastard child of Shield Block and Fort Brew with way less uptime.
    Meta that has a fraction of the uptime and survivability as Havoc especially since Sould Rending (leech talent) is literally never taken since it competes with Fracture (almost always used) and Feed the Demon (maybe used in progression but who's bring VDH to progression?)

    Give VDH Chaos Nova and/or Darkness and VDH would actually bring something to the table.

    Also Blade Dance 100% dodge every 9 seconds is pretty broken OP and usually flies under the radar. The dodge should either be removed or only happen when the DH is in Meta form.

    That's what i'm hoping for, i mean i can take a little nerf that doesn't let us be extreme OP, but not to the point i can't play it (like some idiotic people come here to say), we only have one spec for dps and i really don't see another, wouldn't make much sense, so nerfing that spec already alone would be really a big mistake. Dh is one fun class to play, i like fast classes and i love demons, fel, chaos all related to it. I'm edgy put me in a stake!

    I also mained rogue for the most of the time before pandaria, and i loved sub+assass spec because it's so fast what you can do with it. I love monk, it's more recent too, but i play it almost the same amount as my dh now, and i just love monk WW, i only play tank and dps specs. i indeed hate healing.

    FYI - you're supposed to be running Gluttony with Vision of Perfection. The meta uptime is insane.

    You're playing it wrong then. Nothing compares to the survivability of a DH both in the world and in dungeons. Fragment heals from dead mobs mean endless life in world PVP and M+ where things are dying, and coupled with Demonic Appetite you are essentially not in need of heals for most content. Blur and Dance are ridiculously useful and abusable (especially dance), and you're essentially able to dance out of stuns/CCs if timed correctly. You can even do the same with Rain and popping Meta.

    But that's what I said? That mechanic to eat souls of dead mobs is what keeps me alive rather often. Baseline DHs are fairly squishy. As expected, though.

    The question was what the wishes are for DHs in Shadowlands. I think it's a bit narrow minded to "not care" about an opinion just because it is different from yours.

    Bring Artifact traits back, bring removed abilities such as the magic damage shield back, make baseline the talents picked in 100% of all cases. Give it more buttons.

    Copy paste to every class.

    That's not an opinion, that's trying to kill a class.

    The class shouldn't have existed to begin with, but children do need a new toy to keep busy

    I'd like 2 things to happen to Veng:
    1) Make its Fel Breath baseline and replace the talent with a copy of havoc's demonic talent (obviously working with the breath)
    -this gives the on demand short defensive cd people want
    2) Rework Soul bomb to be a passive that works everytime you pick up a soul instead of being an active press
    -the talent is too required if you want to do any amount of damage and you can rebalance damge on the tier like this

    It's not in your hands to decide what should or shouldn't exist. And the world doesn't revolve around what you think.

    Hoping they bring back Momentum/Bloodlet as it was the only time I've enjoyed my DH (well until I never got AotHG anyhow).
    Momentum doesn't have close to enough of a payoff for the trade offs it requires.

    And if not, well it's only 2 years until the next expansion I suppose.
