Modern heroes only need 2 specs, just like modern celebrities only need one name.
Would love a duel l Xbow/pistol class.
No idea how that would fit in with hunters, you’d want them both to use the same weapon pool to make things easier but they aren’t going to be duel wielding bows anytime soon.
I guess the spec could be left side uses one bow/Xbow/gun and focuses on single target DPS, right side unlocks duel wielding to Xbow/gun for aoe dps.

A succubus/incubus that spanks itself and moans.
Lol yeah would be hard not to overlap with demo lock for sure.
But a melee summoner would still be neat.
I mean…unholy DK is exactly that niche
DH need a ranged spec! Bring back old demo caster.
Evoker will not be getting a 3rd spec. Y’all getting hyped up by ad click YouTubers.
i don’t need two dps or two heal specs.
To be fair, you’d be overlapping more with Unholy DK, since that is a melee summoner. Just it’s a good joke to say you’d be stealing from Demo again after the whole Meta thing (which also could have been shared just by renaming Lock Meta to something else and making it a ranged caster Meta, which it was, with its own unique gameplay separate from DH Melee Meta)
That being said it’s kinda funny that Paladins got to have Dreadlords before either of us, back in Legion 
Demonhunter getting a shivarra like healing spec would also be cool.
Would be nice to learn some new specs accross all the classes like that.
Sort of like how in Destiny you can learn a new spec doing some special quests with some dlcs. Would be nice to get some 3rd/4th specs that way. Lightning based mage spec? Shaman tanking? Weapomaster warrior/hunter? Ninja tanking spec for rogue… So much possibilities.
They are classes that are meant to fill one of two roles. Either DPS or Tank for DH and either Healer or DPS for Evoker. If they were designed to fill a third role they would have a third spec. They aren’t/don’t.
If you get less for your time spent on those classes then a class like rogue, warlock, or mage gets even less for the time spent.
Edit:
Don’t think a tank spec makes any sense for Evokers from any perspective other than “I want it” and neither does a healing spec make sense for DH.
I have to agree with this, even the old classes should have evolve to develop new specs over time, with the games long years. (IMO) I was so shock when I learn druid had 4 specs… (as I don’t play Druid my friends do… and they were they ones that show me recently)
Adding 3rd spec to DH and Evoker would be a great start. (Again IMO) I know this involve an insane amount of work… to even schedule such a thing in a “patch”… it be a first I seen in any MMO something like this!
So as exited as the rumor has me of Evoker getting a 3rd spec, I wont be surprise if it dosen’t happen as I never seen any MMO company pull that off (new class/spec added in a patch) and they are much smaller than Blizz.
i agree, i want dh to get a ranged dps spec.
Evoker could get a melee dps one

I wouldn’t mind at all if demon hunter actually gained a ranged spec using bows and crossbows.

If they don’t get one I’ll eat my evokers hat.
Nah, they’re both fine with just two specs. It’s ok for classes to be unique.
Besides what would they be given? Evokers aren’t getting a tank spec, they’re built as a ranged caster. So that would mean either another healing or dps spec, which would be redundant.
Like wise, demon hunters are a melee class. Healing doesn’t fit the class, and nothing about how their trained/built suggests they’d ever consider ranged. So what’s left?
There does feel a severe need for another bow welding class. Or a gunslinger.
if they would go back to a talent tree closer to bc/wrath it would have been fine. but they over simplified them and they had to move baseline into the tree to fill because they did 2 trees. it was also their attempt to help keep abilities that people also loved and wanted to keep from the last exp
Why not both? Honestly at this point, rogues will hate me for saying this, but why not give the Outlaw spec a range option? And in a similar fashion, the survival hunter spec should be melee/range option too, would make so many folks happy. Just have a talent toggle for both. Then you could have rogues with guns, there would be demon hunters with bows, hunters would get their old RSV back as an option, lots would be happy.
I don’t play outlaw, so I don’t know what it would entail to modify that, but what the hell, go for it.
And while I’ve got a brief soap box, I just want to say this:
If it weren’t for having to constantly balance around competitive PVP, we could easily have a LOT more spec options and variance. Balancing for PVE is far simpler. So when you can’t be a battle mage, or a shadow healing warlock, or whatever your fantasy is, remember it’s likely due to needing to have PVP balance that’s holding the game back from those types of options.
