So I made a DH alt, and it uses at least a third of the keybinds of any other class, plus I’m doing way more damage.
Should DH become harder to play? Or are they just a beginner class on purpose?

I think most people dont play the meta momentum, ragefire setup and just assume its super easy. Id say start there and play it at a 2k-ish level. Its actually quite busy.

Very busy compared to what it use to be. There is a clear difference between a bad DH, good DH, and amazing DH. Anyone that says it’s easy or a 3 button class haven’t played momentum or tried to parse on one. Super fun class, very fast paced, and rewards lining up burst for big damage.

C’mon buddy, you’ve made way better troll posts than this before. You can do better. This is a D+ troll post at best.
I suggest making a post complaining about DH’s pulling extra and dying in m+. That always seems to ruffle a lot of feathers.

I think he’s totally sincere this time! He’s just admitting even though warrior is arguably the easiest class in the game to play and has gotten the most buffs he still does more damage on Demon Hunter because he just can’t figure out how to play his class.

DH is easy to get into, but to be good at DH isn’t so easy. Someone said above, there is a huge difference between a bad DH, good DH, and amazing DH. And its not 3 button, its much harder to play DH than FDK, War (both specs), Ret and many other classes i’ve mained over the years. DH also gets alot of unnecessary hate.

It’s the most odd community perception I’ve witnessed. I don’t play havoc consistently at all, but when I do I gain so much respect for those that have perfected their rotation.
On a side note, I love playing the momentum spec in lower keys, but when I make a mistake and kill myself in high keys it feels really bad.

It’s different this time! All that trolling before, we’ll, that was then.
Now he’s for real!

But you do have a 1800 DK Bloodjob, which from your logs it appears you are also struggling with.

I don’t like the spec.
it feels rage starved and I feel I have a period of 20s or so where I cant do anything.
also 40 s cd on eye beam is too long.
You are a liar

I object to the ret reference. Ret rotation currently seems much harder than DH. It’s very convoluted.
I’ll give you that. Ret is clunky, hopefully those 10.07 changes are really good for ret. My point was that DH isnt the braindead spec people think it is, and there are many much simpler classes to play. I have a ton of alts, and DH is one of the more difficult classes to be really good at (for me anyway).

Demon Hunter is easy to play. Playing it well is a different story.

^^ this.
also for every 1 time we get a phatty hunt or death sweep crit, someone comes on here to complain…but they didnt play against me the other 20 times when it didn’t do that. DH hate is absurd i dont understand it.
There’s no set up on DH. You press things that are off CD. There’s no managing a resource bc the design of DH havoc is actually pretty good. But not a lot of thought. Their rage bar doesn overlap too easily and if you do, your spender is always there to hit. It’s just a good design, but little set up
Feral has bleeds and dots that aren’t bleeds plus bloodtalons, combo points etc.
Windwalker is being mindful of mastery bc you lose a ton of dmg if you double press a button plus energy and chi management.
Unholy has dots, wounds and runic power management.
Ret has easy concept but it has so many buttons to do damage in little windows. For example save all CD for reckoning, or save them for exec sentance. Seraphim and holy power management is there as well. Easy to play just a lot of set
Up (and clunky)
Warrior is arguably easier for sure. Build rage dump rage. Ezpz
Rogue has a ton going on. Mini burst windows, energy combo points, bleeds, slice n dice etc
Enhancement has a ton of spells in their ability with a ton of procs and maelstrom it’s alittle ridiculous when everything procs. Always feel like I’m lagging behind.
Dh is easy to pick up hard to master. Other classes are mediumish to pick up and most will not master
Dhs are WAY too easy to play and deserve MORE buttons
Agreed. There are times in Solo Shuffle the stars aligned for me and a hunt crit + essence crit would outright kill a hunter 10 seconds within the match. Then i spend the rest of the game being yelled at by everyone else saying im playing a “free win” class, even the team mates. Playing a DH really is about engaging and disengaging and monitoring procs and buffs for a go. A DH’s go and burst window is literally based on rng, and when it works , people want nerfs. And when it doesnt work, well you look like a wet noodle in the arena and everyone flames you. Its like blizzard wants to keep DH fun but not be that useful consistently, but i think its the players who are somehow offended just by DH existing.

Incorrect. A significant part of our damage comes from the set-up and execution of our eyebream–>essence break combo every 40 seconds. If you’re not managing your momentum buff, initiative proc, and fury regeneration while pulling off the combo in the correct order, you’re losing damage.
