Devourer .. worst class ever?

Alright I’ll say what everyone is thinking but too afraid to post.

The Devourer class is absolute garbage. Not “a little weak”, not “needs tuning” — I mean straight-up dumpster tier.

Tried it in open world PvP and it feels like you’re playing a training dummy with legs. Zero pressure, cooldowns feel pointless, survivability is a joke, and any half-awake Rogue, Druid, or Warrior deletes you before you even finish your rotation.

What’s the point of a class called Devourer if the only thing it devours is dirt every time someone looks at it?

Meanwhile every other class has mobility, defensives, burst windows, utility… Devourer gets what? A slow cast and a prayer?

Open world PvP is basically:

• See enemy

• Press a button

• Fall over

• Release spirit

Honestly it feels like this class skipped testing entirely. Either the numbers are broken or the design team forgot that PvP exists.

At this point it doesn’t need “tuning” — it needs a full rework. Damage, survivability, mobility… basically everything.

Curious if anyone actually managed to win a fight as Devourer without the other player disconnecting.

Or is the real class fantasy just role-playing as free honor for everyone else?

I’ve been trying to level as Devourer and struggling to stay awake.

That’s just blizzard maintaining the DH class identity.

I will say Devourer needs a CD to kickstart the Void Ray loop for PvP. Once it gets going the class is fine.

Demon Hunter has the one of the worst defensive cds in the game and blizz decided to nerf it
