This class is so insanely broken and has been since the talent trees have been released. The nerfs were not enough. They’re ruining the experience for everyone else in the game because they’re just too effective at the lowest skill level.
They need 20% damage and healing nerf across the board. They also don’t need a MS with their level of damage so it should be pruned.
I have 1, maybe 2 weeks of this garbage meta left in me. Do your job blizzard.
P.S. if you are a DH, your rating doesn’t count in anyone else’s eyes, even your own; deep down you know this to be true.
Most OP specs have like 70-100 2.4k+ on solo shuffles. DH has 207. I don’t think it’s just speculation anymore.
I get that they’re less broken with top tier coms, but damn. They can actually roll their way to 2.4k easier than anything else, proven by the numbers alone.
Is it so much that demon hunters are broken or more so that mages are terrible ? Blizzard is still expecting us to try and hard cast in rated and its just comical to try and do anything in RSS as a mage. I have a DH alt, the dmg is good but their survival is trash. Mages are just trash at both rn becuase they cant cast. Meanwhile you have ele shams keeping up on the meter with DH while being tunneled and never having to cast a thing. Same with evokers. Blizz gave mages the finger this xpac. They are literally the worst caster dps in the game rn in pvp and pve.
The problem is the skill cap. Other top specs include Spriest, Demo, UHDK, Arcane Mage, Assassination Rogue & probably Feral Druid.
All of those classes take incredibly higher amounts of skill/game knowledge to play at a high level. There are DH players that have literally never broken 1800 before pushing 2.3-2.4k because, while an well-played DH will do infinitely better than a poorly played one, you can quite LITERALLY smash all of your buttons on DH and still delete people without trying, all the while being nigh invincible, having multiple instant cast CCs, immune to many CCs, etc.
The class is as braindead as it gets, and has way too much damage to justify it also having the mobility/cc/utility it does.
You’re clearly a DH main. They’re factually NOT. DH has like a 4 button rotation. Shadow priest and demo are insanely strong, but they still have MUCH more complex damage rotations and like 4-5x the buttons to press.
The only people defending DHs and claiming they’re ‘just as hard to play’ as other top classes are DH mains.
