Look at them and not picture it.
Lol, demonic draenei hunting demons…

Kayn Sunfury: “Picture this…”
Altruis the Sufferer: deep sigh
Kayn: “Man’ari demon hunters.”
Altruis: “Man’ari are demons.”
Kayn: “Exactly. Who knows them better?”
Altruis: “That … makes a lot more sense than I wish it did.”

If it means Horde gets fel orc customization and DH option, I’m for it.

I mean, Kayn has a point and Demon Hunters are part demons after their ritual so Altruis can’t really complain.
God I wish, I’d roll a Hellblade or Ashwolf Orc in a heartbeat.
I make a running joke about how Kayn gets high on felweed and/or soul ash, and suggests ridiculous DH candidates based on how funny he thinks they’d look.
But … this one does make sense. You’ve got a totally legit “takes a thief to catch a thief” angle.

It’s to make up for all the bad things we’ve done. Thanks Alliance for seeing past that though.

I disagree with this they should not be DHs.

Why not? Just curious
I always felt like the Draenei should have gotten access to the Demon Hunter class as the next race for that class to expand into. If you pay attention to the Draenei quest dialogue in their starting zones, they seem to have adopted a ‘no more running, we fight, no matter the cost’ style attitude to defeating the Legion.
Which is the same mentality the Demon Hunters have. Defeat the Legion, no matter the cost.
So it would have made a lot of sense for the Draenei to get that class, along with the Orcs, who had a similar mentality towards the Legion as well.
But that was then, during the times when Blizzard was selective about what race got which class. Now? Well every race is going to get every class eventually. So Draenei will get access to them. It’s just a matter of time.

The only thing stopping me from thinking about it is how would the Illdari be involved. 
I keep saying that exclusivity is necessary for the games identity and health as well as the identity of races and classes. Classic has tons of identity, it should not be stripped away from retail. I’m almost certain that the population that play this game to keyboard faceroll into endless mythic + dungeons and raids is not significant enough to ignore lore.

If using lore, then yes Man’ari shouldn’t be able to become DH and neither should any other race outside of NE and BE.
But Blizz looks like they’ll be sticking to their guns about opening every class to every race so good bye lore. Unless, like the Man’ari quest line, they give in-game lore reasons for everyone getting to be DHs.

Ehh…
There’s wiggle room for the Draenei and the Orcs to become Demon Hunters.
There were plenty of Draenei on Outland who could easily have been swayed by Illidan, be they former Eredar who switched sides after the defeat of Magtheridon, Auchenai after the destruction of Auchindoun, or just the disenfranchised within Shattrath City itself, the people who lived in the Lower City, slumming it up.
As for the Orcs, plenty of Fel Orcs were part of Illidan’s armies. It’s more than feasible that some of them could have shown aptitude to the ways of the Demon Hunter.

Yes please
Hm I kind of both agree and disagree. Cultures evolve and adapt. And the player character is their own person.
Now certain classes, let’s use the Paladin for instance as that’s always a popular hot button one. A Tauren and Zandalari Troll Paladin are not the same as a Human Paladin lore wise. Mechanically they operate the same yes but in their lore they are completely different to the Knights of the Silver Hand. With a different set of codes and oaths if you will.
A Zandalari Troll Paladin wouldn’t be crusading for the Light but rather would serve the Loa as their militant arm. As long as Blizzard takes the time to explain how and why certain races would choose to become certain classes or how certain races can utilize certain class options (Undead Paladin/Void Elf Paladin) then I’m for it.

Yes there needs to be hard justification from them. Also from a Fel orc perspective I can accept it. Not quite sure how relevant it is that the elfs are way more agile than say Man’ari or Fel Orcs to perform the maneuvers that DHs do.
I will stand by my vision that giving every race every class will ruin the game.
PS I love my DH. Amazing class.

Now I can see Man’ari Demon Hunters working because in the questline to acquire the customization. The Man’ari Eredar we work with is repentant. Saying that the Legion turned him into a weapon and that they will learn to fear it.
Velen even admitted that while the Man’ari did a lot of unforgivable things, others like the Death Knights and Demon Hunters don’t allow their darkness to rule them but rather use it to serve good.
You could argue that a Man’ari Demon Hunter would not be the same as a Illidari but their own thing with their own transformations.
Also I kind of used to think the same way, every class every race but I’ve relaxed on it. Rather making up my own headcanon and what not. It’s kind of fun in it’s own way.
I think it has a lot to do with Illidan just wanting elves in his inner circle as he trusts his own more.
This could work and could turn out epic.
I supposed this was in the form of them becoming Warlocks for the Black Harvest.
Yea I mean we kind of already have models for Havoc and Vengeance forms for Draenei already. Kil’jaeden’s model could be used for Havoc and got those Eredar Commanders with the spiky backs all over Argus you could use for Vengeance.
