They gave them a different intro tied to an entire expansion. So yes.
Not a Hero Class.
They kinda don’t. As I said:
DH ranged spec would make more sense than lightforged draenei lorewise is my point.
Sorry if that upsets you.
I’ve been playing Warcraft games since 1, Blizzard has retconned and added so much lore there would be a way to add ranged dh if they really wanted to.
Also, from a gameplay basis, the fact is DH will be the only class in the game with 2 specs and not 3.
I feel like we are just about classed out at this point. 13 with 39 specs. How much more variety do we need??

No, I want a 4th warrior class.
Gladiator pls.
WoD Gladiator was very fun although tbh, prot atm is pretty similar to it.
I’d be down for a warrior heal class that heals like a MW heals by doing DMG but that’s just a dream.
I always thought this would be a neat concept for like blood dk, instead of a tank could have been a dps support or even a healer that heals by doing damage.
This would also be amazing.
If you want to be a real stickler about it, Draenei/Lightforged Draenei REFUSE to use Fel Magic… period that is the entirety of their lore in TBC.
Fel-magic corrupted them in Outlands and deformed them to be Broken. The only way I see this working is eredar who go through the lightforge ritual (not possible anymore thanks Illidan) in efforts to redeem themselves (this would be neat also would be a good way to introduce draenei dh).

Seems too similar to typical Hunters. It’s specially bad since both classes already have “hunter” on the same. Idk, if DHs are to be ranged or have a more flexible toolkit, it should be through spells, not arrow. Might fit better as talents or even a 4th spec for Hunters.
When it comes to 3rd specs, I’d go with one of these two.
I was thinking about a 3rd DPS spec with some support heal through leech and other effects. Basically, a Dreadlord spec with Vampiric Aura to suck the life out of your targets to heal you or your allies. Meant to have more ranged spells and some stealthy utility.
If you think ranged playstyle is more interesting, I’d say a Spellbreaker concept fits the class a lot more than “hunter with fel arrow”. They wield glaives and manipulate/counter magic, similar to what DHs already do, with one detail being Spellbreakers are ranged. It’s Blood Elf in origin.
3rd DH spec would be “Scorned Sibling” where the one person you’d ever be capable of falling in love with is with your sibling instead of you.
Then you get thrown into prison.
Twice.

Ah, yes, a different intro. What a huge difference between them and the previous generation DKs, certainly on the same level as a storyline explaining how this new generation came to be, which they never got.
Oh, please, DKs and DHs don’t have special treatment anymore, and arguably haven’t for a long time.
Contrarianism isn’t an argument.
No, it really doesn’t because DHs haven’t been relevant to the story since Legion ended. Meanwhile, warlocks got a whole storyline showing that Lightforged aren’t above turning to other forms of power while still being in service of the Light, up to and including demonic magic, against all the cries of “draenei would never become warlocks” that were ultimately refuted with the 10.1.5 announcement. Also, one is infinitely easier to add to the game than the other.
I was apathetic to your crap until you quick-edited this little bit in.
You don’t get it. Evokers were designed to start with two specs and get a third later because it’s a part of their lore. DHs were designed to always have two specs because that’s a part of their gameplay and was most likely supposed to set a precedent for future classes, and both specs are melee with a few ranged spells because DHs are characterized as glaive-wielding fighters. Hell, them having two specs somewhat ties into their Class Hall campaign because they steal both of their artifacts from two of Kil’jaeden’s lieutenants who were former Illidari.
These devs don’t want to add a new DH spec, otherwise, they would’ve done so before the window of opportunity had closed. They’re not going to take a class that was in the spotlight for one expansion and use previous addendums to lore to justify it now having a third spec that it was never intended to have in the first place, especially one that would necessitate giving it the ability to equip a weapon that DH NPCs have never used.
It’s so tiring. “We need ranged DH, we need melee evoker, we need tank shaman” etc., and it’s obvious that most people want them with the argument of “they’d be fun” instead of “they’d be good for the health of the game”, same as every “make X race playable” thread.
Irrelevant. They still have storyline. Short or long.
… DKs literally got special treatment last expansion.
You don’t even have an argument. But thanks for cutting off what I said after that. You want to try again? For the third time?
Count yourself lucky! Priests have three specs and only one is useful. 
As much as I agree, dh already has vengeful retreat.
Either ranged or a 2h dps spec.
Unfortunately with the legion gone and the powers no longer around. You can’t really make new dh’s and expanding the magics/abilities based around absorbing demons… Not much to expand on sadly.

3rd DH spec will come with the Light expac.
Illidan rejected the gift, but it doesn’t mean other DHs won’t embrace it when the Light offers it.
Make no mistake, Illidan wasn’t the Chosen one, that was just manipulation on Xe’ra’s part… it was just a direct transformation from Chaos wielding to Light wielding, making it for an easy conversion, but Illidan was too powerful(compared to Xe’ra at the time which was severely weakened) and could reject the forced conversion.
Lightchosen - Ranged dps specialized in:
- area control through lightscribing symbols on the ground to control how the opponent moves (reversing directionals for example, press forward but you go backwards), or deny areas for them through higher dmg intake or straight up denying passage.
- opponent power conversion, capable of using the opponent’s innate power and exploding it from within to cause massive damage the more power (mana/rage/combo points/runes/holypower/etc) the opponent has (more standardized for PVE ofc).
Illidan denying his Lightchosen spec:
One can only hope.

We need a Holy demon hunter spec
Op,oh why not they already messed up the class specs.
dh needs to have a dw gat spec pew pew with shadows
3rd spec should be either with void or holy powers (holy because of the hint in Legion which Illidan rejected or void because we can see void mixing with everything, see priests holy + void or warlocks fel + void, which makes for a bigger argument that void should be the theme for a 3rd spec for DH).
That also opens the door for the other races being new demon hunters lorewise
