Um…ya we is.
“You... were not prepared. The enemy came into our world, their only desire to extinguish all life. They slaughtered our loved ones. They razed our homes, our cities, and our sacred places. You tried to stop them... and you failed. And so you came to...
The training begins with the person slaying a demon, eating its heart, and drinking its blood. The spirit of the ingested demon bonds with them and from this bond the demon hunter receives visions of the Burning Legion destroying countless worlds across the universe. In horror at the sight, they tear their own eyes out, and usually puts them into a coma. The fel power infusing their bodies after ingesting the demon’s heart and blood causes the demon hunter to mutate, gaining demonic features such as scales, horns, or claws. As with all chaos-touched creatures, the forms that these traits will take can be quite unpredictable.
After the demon hunter awakens and their spectral sight begins to take effect, they are given tattoos which keep their inner demon from overwhelming them, but it is still always there, talking to them and trying to get them to turn to the Legion.

Spectral sight is a demonic, magical view of the world. Demon hunters, disciples of Illidan Stormrage, ritually blind themselves in exchange for spectral sight that enables them to better sense their prey.
We’re absolutely physically blind. Spectral sight shows us the energies surrounding and emitted by all things, not the things themselves. Gaze attacks and other things that relying on us looking at them shouldn’t work on us, or wouldn’t if this were an actual RPG rather than an MMO.
