Night Elf Archer. Why?

First in the 1.31 patch notes (Dark Ranger is listed under Night Elves in the patch changes) and now in the leaked/mistakenly uploaded Night Elf image.

And it’s true! Look here:

NIGHT ELF

• Ultravision is now applied to Mountain Giants, Spirits of Vengeance, and Avatars of Vengeance

Dark Ranger
Life Drain

• Life Drain now applies the Dark Minion effect of the current rank of Black Arrow (Requires at least 1 point in Black Arrow)

Dev comment: Drain Life and Black Arrow didn’t synergize. Black Arrow’s short debuff meant Drain Life was unlikely to result in a Dark Minion. This change benefits Drain Life by letting it gain the intended effect - but not damage bonus - of Black Arrow.

Demon Hunter
Mana Burn

• Mana cost reduced from 60 to 50 across all levels

Dev Comment: While part of the lower usage of DH is due to the popularity of Keeper, we also agreed with feedback that the increased cost of Mana Burn was a factor.

They actually listed Dark Ranger as the first hero in the Night Elf section instead of Neutral. Really? How did the guy who wrote it even pass the interview?
