Demon Hunter 10.0 Talent Tree Ideas

Okay, so I remade a new DH and did the starting area to see what your talking about.
I haven’t done that area since like Legion Pre-patch lol. So the levels and memory were totally off. So I made notes on when you get abilities and from where and when and how you get the higher ranks and what they do.

With that being said… I have remade the trees and moves some things, removed some things and added some things.

I think overall its more aligned to what would be more relatable to the current game and how you acquire the abilities.

Class Tree

Havoc Tree
