Hello!
I’ve been keeping an eye on some statistics over on Drustvar . com, and there are some trends that are hard to ignore, especially when it comes to Demon Hunters in the 3v3 arena bracket for Season 1 of “The War Within.” These statistics from Drustvar . com were pulled this evening around 1900 Hours est.
Here are some highlights:
Out of 14,025 players above 1800 rating, only 138 of those are Demon Hunters. That’s less than 1% of the population at that level. To put it into perspective, classes like Priest, Paladin, and Druid have representation rates of around 16%-14%.
Over the last 72 hours, there have been 9,848 games played in the 3v3 bracket, but only 5 of those included a Demon Hunter. This seems to indicate that DHs are struggling to find their place in the current meta.
While every class has its ups and downs from season to season, it feels like the current state of Demon Hunters in arenas might need some attention. The low representation suggests there might be underlying issues that are making the class less appealing or less viable for competitive play.
Is this something that’s being looked into? Are there any plans for adjustments that could encourage more players to pick up DHs in PvP? It would be great to see some changes that help the class feel more competitive and enjoyable, especially for those of us who’ve been loyal to the class since its introduction.
Thanks for your hard work, and I hope this feedback is helpful!
Cheers, A bottom feeder DH.

Idk whats worse, Dragonflight DH or TWW BM/Feral druid. Feral druid just doesn’t even take damage. It’s actually insane that it’s still live.
DH being non-existent is the best thing to come out of this season.

probably is because they all got used to playing on atari controllers and now they have 7 or 8 buttons, a massive 400% increase. they just cant adjust
I played my dh to I think 1700 in solo, rage quit the last one with 3 bm hunters and lost 150Cr. But it’s def a struggle. They can do a lot of damage just can’t end games well
once you get some cr and people cc your eye beam it feels real rough. dark times for dh.
I think it’s also important to point out that the Jets, Giants, and Knicks lost today. When NY sports teams lose, America wins.

I mean they just gave them a bow and a massive termite then took the “demon” part out of their name.
No, it’s not being looked into lol
As OP as BM Hunter is right now, Havoc DH in dragonflight season 1 was an even worse abomination. And they didn’t get nerfed until the very end of the season, were broken as sh*t for months. I remember Venruki did a video on it and Havoc had 41% spec representation by the end lul.
Okay but the question remains, how is this relevant to NOW lol

Honestly I’m so tired of seeing/reading data posts over and over. Everyone knows unholy/fdk/dh are undertuned and need buffs and bm is overtuned. Nerf bm, lovetap sp/feral, buff hpriest/rdruid/rsham mana, game is fine.

Just wait they will nerf BM Hunter and buff DH and all the BMs will reroll to DH.
Blizzard is just playing spin the wheel, every patch new broken OP
1st time since legion i actually wanna play my dh
I dunno mate. Snupy just did a burst contest and DH had the second best burst of the lot (second only to ele), killed their target 100-0 in less than 2 seconds.
Think DH pretending they have no damage are just bad. And the DH class’s low representation is in large part because it was mostly comprised of FotM players to begin with, while it’s not as godly as it was in prior expansions.
I don’t know if a burst contest is a fair way of determining if a class is overall good or bad, but it might just be me. I do think Nas is right in his assessment. I think subtle tuning to start and see how the meta shifts over a week or so.

Think it’s completely fair to at least bring up, seeing as the main thing people pretend DH needs is more damage.
DH on the forums are out here gaslighting everyone into thinking their abilities don’t move health bars, meanwhile good ones are killing people faster than exploiters, nearly on par with the acknowledged best burst in the game (elemental), and 2-3x faster than most DPS specs.
