It’s been said before, and for Evoker it’s been done before, but considering the state of the class we require some semblance of options. So that we can at least have one good dps specc. Maybe do something with polearms like the one NPC in legion, or follow suit with how Illidan is in the books and be a melee caster sort of thing.

That’s likely because it wasn’t ready in time. Pretty sure the intention was always to have 3 evoker specs.

Not sure there is room for something original that fits with the theme. If they go caster its too similar to Warlock, if they go 2handed bruiser then its too similar to DK.
As weird as it would be, something along the lines of augmentation evoker would be the only way. A spec that buffs allies with demonic spells?

(Mid)Range DD that weaves in and out of melee.
Ranged attacks have a min range (like hunter used to have).
Ranged attacks are “builders” that apply some sort of buff on the DH.
Go into melee to burst for damage consuming the buffs build during ranged combat. Buffs/mark can only be applied at range/with ranged attacks and consumed with melee attacks.
I think that’s what I would want to see as a 3rd spec.

Okay. Hear me out. Almost like a fel druid. They turn into those cool spider demons, spawn egg sacks, and then after a certain amount of time, the sacks explode into thousands of little fel spiders filling the screen…. >:)
Its a shame, since DH lore is soooo vast. I want a mid range bow dps.
People have been asking for this since legion itself, no idea how long blizzard is going to keep us waiting.

Basically what I was thinking. Give them a 2h weapon, staff or spear, and have them dance in and out of melee with some mid range attacks setting up a melee burst. Or vice versa

I think there’s absolutely room for another ranged weapon using spec. There’s many other possibilities that are distinct from the one spec in the game that currently focuses on it, and further focuses on being a sniper.
As contrast to the long distance sniper, there’s the nimble and agile traditional elf ranger.
They already basically created Diablo with the Arathi being Crusaders, why not create Diablo DH here. DH so full of Hatred he wants to stab people who are currently out of arms reach, so he shoots em.
Or something sorta like Portal Keeper Hazabel from Antorus, using portals and shooties to bombard enemies from afar.
This isn´t Diablo
I still want a spec or hero talent tree that gives us ranged Metamorphosis like WC3 Demon Hunter. That would literally be the coolest thing ever
I agree. A Mid range bow user with a weave of melee attacks. Allow for more bow weapon drops. Hunters can keep their guns.
Sounds like yall need to try survival out. If they do do this they need to revert Survival back and make DH the new survival. The specs would be one of the same almost.
I enjoyed Survival in Dragonflight. It doesn’t feel the same in TWW. But I will try and spend more time with Surv.
a ranged healing spec for dh is what I would want… so I can actually play on my dh
basically all classes need a healing spec or they can’t play.

Demon Hunter healing spec would be freaking amazing

I’m happy having two specs
Both fit the class fantastically
If they do add a 3rd I hope it isn’t gimmicky and doesn’t cheapen the class fantasy.
I think maybe a mid-long range caster would work. Charge up huge, heavy hitting chaos bolts like Illidan vs Kruul in the novel.
Swap throw glaive to this spec and have it not feel like a wasted button press. Maybe something like flames of Azzinoth elemental too?
Our class has only gotten half a page of notes since pre-patch though.
If we had a third spec to balance it might get even less attention
Give us a reskinned “soar” instead. Turn into havoc meta form during flight and allow us to take to the skies.
Give us more demonic customizations like felhunter dreadlocks, claws/hooves, more wing choices, customizable meta forms
They can’t even keep havoc or VDH tuned right this season. I would not wish for a third spec when they can’t even get our current ones to be remotely viable past a +10.
I don’t even bother with pvp this season.

When they added the third spec for evoker it killed destruction I know its “support” but the same thing will happen to Havoc, so I am fine with it just staying 2.
Here me out: the game needs more healers.
This helpsnthe community, and, doesn’t threaten Havoc
