Had this arguement with a friend, looking for some back up.
He says they’re different, and they are I guess. But I’m saying a Demon Hunter is to a warlock, as a Paladin is to a priest.
Right?
I mean the methods aren’t exactly the same but effectively they are the same thing.
Neither comparison is correct. I agree with your friend.
Not really, warlocks are demon tamers. DH’s are Demon Hunters! So in reality, DH’s should be able to hunt warlocks easy. IN PVP, this needs to happon.
And yet I can’t tell my freaking demons to loot things like hunters can their pets -_-
also we can’t rename our demons to cute things.
Not really. Even down to ideals, this is wrong. Warlocks work with, and embrace demonic practice. They use it on an external level. They are casters. Demon hunters are the antithesis to demons entirely, do not embrace them at all, use them as nothing more than a means of fighting fire with fire, and are melee combatant.
Priests and paladins are closer to one another in that they share ideals. But essentially, all warlocks and demon hunters have in common is a utilization of the fel. A utilization of similar forms of magic does not make anyone the same.
I don’t care about ideals or why they do things or whatever. That’s irrelivent.
A paladin is literally just a priest in armor.
I’m saying I think basically demon hunters are just warlocks with armor. They use their fel powers differently but it’s basically the same thing.
And our warlocks fought the legion too. Literally the same idea ‘fight fire with fire’. So their ideals actually ARE similar.
I wish that that was a thing. 
No it’s not. You said “the same”. They aren’t.
Gonna disagree hard here. Mutually assured destruction and working together to fight a cause does not mean someone has the same ideals.
They’re warlocks in fetish gear. 
I am still convinced that DHs came about because Warlocks yelled about wanting a tank spec during Cata.
As a wrath player who does see metamorphosis locks still…no.
DH’s at least in terms of pvp are way more annoying to deal with. I don’t go full bore pve so real raid and such I can’t comment on.
Now if lore based…also a no. Dh’s follow the plan/will of Lord Illidan. We get shanghai’d into the faction crap.
Lock lore seems to be more using fel for good. Dh’s are really jsut fel fueled psycho’s who picked a target no one cares if they die. Well except for Maiev and the wardens. The odd bit is Maiev has some issues too. She isn’t exactly sane either…
I have DH’s like the tv series dexter. You are supposed to say the dude has issues and is bad. But he kills criminals so…okay he is taking out the trash of the world.
Warlocks don’t kill themselves by momentum stupidity though.
Warlocks lost abilities when DHs were added.
Seems pretty clear cut.
You’re very wrong. The only similarity is that they both use fel magic. Beyond that there is no comparison.
Not your personal army.
The word “hunter” implies they are not friendly to demons… They are probably more on par with priests and paladins than warlocks.
I really need to go back and watch Dexter’s Lab. I’m not remembering this part at all, but I want to.
This would be the HBO show Dexter. Not the kid cartoon lol.
not quite… warlocks learn how to use shadow and fel magic, summon demons and stuff.
Demon hunters were trained under a specific manner by illidan, consume the demon, develop spectral sight.
Train melee combat, kill demons, spar with others… and then abilities are developed from within because of the demon within, that gives them more physical strenght, speed, resistence… their body changes with demonic traits.
Demon hunter develop demonic abilities from within, they can consume different types of demons to keep that, the leveling demon hunter zone you do that some times and develop new abilities as result.
Warlock lost an ability it never should’ve had in the first place. It belonged to DH first.
