Once again, NetEase has decided they want Demon Hunters to completely overhaul their characters to accomodate a summons type build.
This is so impractical given that DH’s only real viability is a Strafe-based build. It would require complete changes of:
Essences
Reforges
Curses
Secondary gems
Legendary gems
Enchants
NetEase is expecting us to applaud something that is untried and impractical for anyone who’s spent thousands of dollars getting their DH to its current form.
Once again, I have to wonder if any of the designers understand what this class really requires. One thing for sure, it’s not Smoke Screens, Traps or Daring Swing mods.
All 3 issues of the latest essences offered to DH’s are NOT in use whatsoever. A quick look at any of the leaderboards (Challenge Rift / Battleground / Trial of the Hordes) will confirm that.
The poison-based Rain of Vengeance set previously released was dreadful and asked that our enemies please remain standing in a circle of woefully underpowered poison rain until you have to drink a potion. As an aside, Rain of Vengeance has not been in anyone’s build for the 3 years since it’s original introduction.
The one previous to that was a traps/turret based release and this one looks like a remarkably similar re-issue of that.
We are not amused.
