It’s really easy to play and good for progression. I personally am not a fan of them, but i have a buddy who really likes it.
Way to take things literally. The 2 button class thing is a joke based on how DH does all their single target AND aoe dps with basically filler into Eyebeam, not really caring about anything else.
As for the “can do everything” thing, they have high bursty single target and aoe, extremely high mobility including passive movement speed increase and an ability that adds 100% movespeed AND makes you immune for 5 seconds, they have a ranged interrupt on a short cooldown that generates resources (!), a ranged purge on a short cooldown that generates resources (!), multiple solid cc tools, very good mitigation tools including one that benefits all nearby allies, not to mention they have very high self-healing!
What else do you want to be able to do? Dash through a group of enemies and cause them all to be afflicted by mortal wounds? OH WAIT

I feel like people who say this, often play demon hunter suboptimally and don’t actually look at timing abilities correctly, they just think it’s a constant builder spender with Demons Bite and Chaos Strike.
People like this usually forget that the rotation looks more like:
Opener
Pre-cast Immolation Aura if taken.
Use Battle Potion of Agility just before the pull.
Cast Demon’s Bite or Immolation Aura to reach 30 Fury.
Cast Eye Beam to trigger Metamorphosis.
Cast Death Sweep with First Blood taken.
Cast Metamorphosis.
Cast Annihilation.
Continue with Single Target Rotation.
Then continuing to use Eyebeam on CD along side a full fury bar to get the most Metamophisis uptime.
Then on top of that you should be using your Fel Rushes to fill your downtime globals, but that is dependant on how effectively you can maneuver yourself around the boss’ hitbox.
There’s more strategy, but people like to create a reductio absurdum arguments to create a simplistic pictures of demon hunters as being a dumb class, where’ as in reality it’s not more simple or complex then a Fury Warrior or a Retribution Paladin or a Frost Death Knight, none of which get the same treatment on here by uninformed individuals.

dh is very fun. its easy af and very fun regardless.
Don’t recall asking for more???
Was pointing out that the same folks that claim we are boring and brain dead to play also moan about how much we can do, which is kind of impossible to achieve at the same time. Yes, easy to play, but I’ve seen some horrid dh’s out there, not using their abilities.
The complainers are usually just some butt hurt player that was bested in pvp by a dh, and cannot fathom the idea that a cc’d dh is a dead dh.

I think the whole game is boring to play
I think it has quite a few buttons. Maybe in PVE it’s boring but then again, most classes are.
I mainly PVP and find myself using about 16 keybinds for the class.
I absolutely love the movement, gliding, run speed increase. Been hard to go play anything else.
Loved it at first but it was too good that I just got bored. I like a little challenge when I have one.
I’m not super keen on Havoc but I love Vengeance.
Totally, I have a demon hunter horde and alliance side. I love the look and feel of the class. I get on and play it, and it is just BORING AF. The flashy abilities only hold my attention for a short amount of time.
I’d love a ranged dps spec for demon hunters. throwing glaives and fel stuff.

It’s the easy dps class, so naturally its very popular. Put anything into the game that requires a bit of skill and people screech and demand it be nerfed.
I reckon if they did the same thing to DH, made them more skill-related and less just slamming two or three buttons, the same thing would happen.

Elemental shaman use more than two buttons. Also, I actually play Druid, not Shaman.
Not throwing shade, just saying.
Mine is very fun to play!
Swap Feral and Havoc. Watch the class population shift within days.
And so do DH. No spec uses 2 buttons. I really, really wish people would stop making threads about DHs.
If there was a ranged option, I’d play it.
I just detest melee.
100%. I enjoyed my Demon Hunter for like 2 minutes and then just felt tired of the boring rotation. Compared to my Unholy DK that really keeps me engaged, my DH just feels so brainless.
Yes. Very poorly designed and blizzard seems to have no intention to make it engaging.
Slow your roll. I am not going on a rant about how easy it is and how people should feel bad for playing it.
I personally feel that the class is boring because it is so simple. You can’t deny that it is a very easy class to play. I would personally find it more enjoyable if they added more spells and abilities to the class, and maybe even more unique ways to spend your “Fury”.
The problem with DH is they have the toolkit of 5 different classes baked into like 6 abilities that can be pushed in any order without any thought and still work just fine.
It feels demoralizing to play something else more difficult absolutely perfectly when some guy drooling on his keyboard pressed blade dance and eyebeam on CD and is performing his optimal AoE and single target rotation.
