Demon Hunter Hero Power

DH Hero Power needs to be 2 mana/ +2 attack. Having a 1 mana Hero Power does give a huge advantage over other classes, especially when so many cards synergize with it. Being able to weave the hero power in constantly adds to the incremental power of DH (especially with metamorphasis). Why do ALL other classes adhere to the 2 mana hero power except DH?

The recently announced nerfs won’t do much to bring the power level of this class down. Please Blizzard - bring this class in line and stop allowing it to play by it’s own set of rules.

2 mana 2 attack would be the best hero power in the game by a large margin and better than a 1 mana 1 attack as its better than hunter power now…rediculous suggestion

except that 2 attack would still worth 1 mana hero power.

Despite of versatille and having synergy the hero power itself is pretty much on the weak side of the spectrum if you take it just by it’s face value.

The amount of synergy is why have it as 1 attack instead of 2 is ok.

So… to your logic… rogue should be 2/1 dagger for 2 mana? I mean, lets change ALL of them… i mean mage gets 1 damage for 2 mana. Druid 1 armor/1damage 2 mana… lets just remake the whole hero power effect for all class.

make Paladins Recruits 3/3s for 2 mana and it might make it to Tier 2.

I support this.

Except hitting a minion means taking face damage. That’s the trade off.

No a 2 mana gain 2 attack is better than hunter. I need to explain this?

Hunter: 2 mana deal 2 to enemy hero.
DH with change: 2 mana deal 2 to enemy hero or a minion. As long as there is no taunt the DH is vastly superior. They could never do this. It would be so op you have no idea. Its permanent dwarven sharpshooter with your hero. The slices would mean they can kill any 3 health minion. How can you not get how op this is?

That is why provocation exists, DH would be the only one to receive direct damage compared to other classes with heroic power of two without receiving an initial advantage.

You do realize that 1 mana/+1 attack is the same as 2 mana/+2 attack, except that costing one mana makes it ridiculously more flexible.

How are you not understanding my point here? 2 mana 2 attack is miles better than hunter.

this applies more the baku mage power more than 2 mana get 2 attack. Because trading minion still take damage.

That being said, 2 mana +2 attack is not the same as 1 mana +1 attack. You dont want demon hutner to have access to 2 attack that easily given how much face potential they already have.

And how are you not understanding his point?

If a 2 mana +2 attack is miles better than hunter and
If a 1 mana +1 attack is stronger than a 2 mana + 2 attack

Then the 1 mana +1 attack is so far beyond any other hero power that it needs to be toned down. It’s even stronger than a 2 mana +2, which is also stronger than hunter. The fact that it can be combined with weapons and so many cards that raise Illidans attack effectively makes it a 1 mana + 2 attack, 1 mana 4 attack, or even 1 mana +6 attack (or more) almost every time he uses it.

The fact that demon hunter’s hero power costs 1 unequivocably make sit the strongest hero power in the game. We used to have to throw Baku into our decks to get a 1 mana hero power, and look how much that ended up breaking game balance. Now Demon Hunter gets to do that without having to add a garbage legendary to his deck that he’d rather never draw.

A 1 mana gain 1 attack is not better than 2 mana gain 2 attack. I have no idea how you come up with this. With a 1 mana 1 attack you cant kill 2 health minions. With 2 mana 2 attack you can. Add in the 2 cost weapon or a slice and now 3 health minions die. Nobody ever has a board early vs DH already and you want to double the power level?

Not to mention the +2 attack becomes even more valuable if you have a lifesteal weapon equipped.

The +1 attack 1 mana is NOT the problem with the class. It’s all the other broken cards that Blizzard printed for the DH class…

it’s not though, and you are just saying it is. it might be a little better. but it is not as obvious as you are claiming it it.

Really? ARe you serious? How is being able to deal 2 to a minion or enemy hero not obviously better than being able to deal 2 to enemy hero? For realz? What the eff ppl??? Do I need to make this even more simple?

Card A, 2 Cost, Deal 2 damage. <------------------ OBVIOUSLY effin better.
Card B, 2 Cost, Deal 2 damage to enemy hero.

Which card is OBVIOUSLY better? Need a hint? Its not Card B.

Methinks you missed the part where people keep saying that with all of demon hunter’s synergies that 1 mana is just to activate the ability to attack. In practice it’s not a 1 mana 1 attack when cards like Aldrachi Warblades, Umberwing, Warblades of Azinoth, Blade Dance, Chaos Strike, and Twin Slice exist.

And now think about how all those get better with 2 attack added to them for 2 instead of 1 esp Blade Dance, Warblades, ect. Im out of this thread the amount of dumb has surpassed my levels of tolerance. Peace out you can have the last word.

because as ppl have pointed out 1 mana is more flexible then 2 and DH would be able to attack less. do you think pyroblast is better then frostbolt?

Then mage needs its hero power buffed to one mana since it deals one damage
