They do tons of DPS, do it with 4 buttons, and they have the old GCD, so they feel better to play than literally the rest of the melee classes while being more mobile than the rest of the melee classes.
From what I noticed it’s because a lot of classic users are checking out retail, and don’t feel like leveling from 1-120, so they use DH to skip the most. That’s what everyone on my friends list is doing anyway lol!
They are great alts; offer exploration ease with double jump and glide, simple rotation, very strong in multiple gameplay types.
Their gameplay and mechanics have as much depth as a puddle. I would get bored out of my mind if I had to main one. I feel like Einstein playing beast master in comparison.
Doubt we will see any balancing until Shadowlands at this point so expect to see more.
