Yeah which dragon we gotta wake up to get demon hunters a third spec? Pretty ridiculous evoker is already getting a new spec. DH has been in the game for four expansions now.

Correct me if Iâm wrong but, does lore really matter anymore? Theyâre allowing Lightforged Warlocks lol.

Not a Demon Hunter.
Are you seriously pulling the âlore doesnât matterâ card on the discussion of new specs? Because I said that thereâs a basis for evokers getting a spec that still adheres to its class identity a few months into DF, and no basis for DHs getting a glorified hunter spec 7 years after Legion, yet you bring up some stupid irrelevant bullcrap about Lightforged getting warlocks, which is a whole different ballgame.
Not necessarily true. Enhancement shaman are good. Survival is pretty good too if your tank can get mobs close to each other.
The separation of feral combat druids into feral and guardian has been a failure at balance. Re-merge them and give the extra spec to demon hunters as a fel healing spec.
Allari should be used as the example for a third Demon Hunter specialization: using a scythe and casting Fel spells.
You and people like you keep repeating this, but that will never make it true. There is nothing preventing a Lightforged Draenei from using Fel magic; there are no bars to entry for that source of power. If cosmic beings of the Arcane (Titans) can use it, then so too can a mortal race partially infused with the Light. Or are we forgetting the reverse already exists with a Lightforged Dreadlord (Lothraxion)?

what if instead of corrupted, itâs actually Blessed for once?
No it didnât. There was no dedicated support role. We just managed to create somewhat similar styles due to talents.
They will eventually give reason for other races to be DHs, probably similar to how DKs were done. Which means they will have more spotlight eventually for some reason.
They also donât need a reason to do it. They can just do it. One example of adding a spec doesnât mean thereâs a pattern that has to be followed.
I would prefer a healing spec thatâs dps based - like disc priest
You know demon hunters are blind right? You want a blind guy shooting a gun behind you?
PLEASE NO
Disc has unique healing gameplay. It does damage to heal through atonements.
Paladins have unique healing gameplay, they are in melee building up charges.
Stop pointing at other specs.
It took a long time to distinguish the healers from each other game play wise.
If you go play class or wrath, you will see holy pally and holy priest are basically the same thing. They stand in range, and every 5 seconds they cast flash of light/flash heal.
Come up with something new
Why would dhs use a bow? Were not Diablo 3 DHs. We are experts in warglaives, and throw them but thats it.
Havenât touched paladin. But if they are still tossing beacons, i wish they had a beacon of attonement which made it heal players from paladin damage.
Hear me out, make it a pet focused spec, combine havoc/bm/demo minus the range weapon.
All melee still with sigils/brands, summoning and empowering random demons/fel creatures like demo does with imps, focus on augmenting said demons and what not, and be their main damage profile as a support/pet spec.
Would be super neat, yeah theyâre demon âhuntersâ, but have become with their demon(s) enough to form a contract, and illadin worked with demons as well.
That would actually be pretty cool, Varus is a good comparison. Maybe the spec could be called Sadism, or Mayhem. Leaning to the idea that these bow-wielding DHâs are somewhat obsessed with their pursuit from a distance.
On the same note of more gun/bow using classes/specs- ever since I played Guild Wars 2 Warriors while wielding the gun weapon, itâs amazing how fun and different it feels from WoWâs MM hunter, even with Lone Wolf.
A Warrior spec called Infantryman or Rifleman or something that uses guns/crossbows/bows that focuses less on jungle/poison themed ranged attacks and more on gunpowder, ammunition, and bullets would be sweet. It could also borrow a few unneeded abilities from hunter that better fit the new fantasy, allowing hunter to get newer abilities that better fit their own fantasy too. Apply the same logic to this proposed DH spec and you could get a long of fun variation between 2 or 3 ranged-weapon wielding specs.
If Augmentation is a successful experiment, I imagine Demon Hunters would be first in line to be the next support class. After that, Shaman and Paladins would be candidates for a 4th spec. But I wouldnât hold your breath on any of it.
It does because your comparing apples to oranges. A whole new pointless spec does not equate to applying a locked class to a race. Stop trying to make Dhs like D3s dhs, we are not at all trained in ranged weaponry.
Nether Piercer spec, lets go!
I vote for deleting all DHs from the game.
Did they give DKs a big event when they expanded them to pandaren and allied races? No, they just threw them into the setting as part of the buildup to SL. The Ebon Blade other than Darion barely even had any presence in that expansion beyond helping the player get through the Maw. DKs didnât get a new spec.
Did they give warlocks a big event when they expanded them to every race except dracthyr? No, all they got was a minor storyline as a way of pointing out that the path of being a warlock is one that anyone can walk. They didnât get a new spec, either.
Itâs not unreasonable to assume that new DH options would get the same treatment as either of the above and be added with equally little fanfare, or that said new options wouldnât coincide with an entirely new way to play the class years after it was relevant to an expansionâs story.
They kinda do, considering that Augmentationâs addition is relevant to the story and was planned in advance. It was done as a way to portray the dracthyr reobtaining a power that was stolen from them, as opposed to a third DH spec that wouldnât serve any purpose beyond wish fulfillment for people who insist that the class is incomplete without it.
