9 months is a long time, and so far I’ve seen nothing about Havoc Demon Hunter yet, and I know there are more specs that desperately need changes. I personally only play Havoc DH in that regard, so I can only speak for Havoc.
Ever since double legendaries were introduced it has been said by a large portion of the community that the 4pc set feels bad and close to useless. Not to mention that any competitive PvE DH is shoehorned into a “keep this borrowed power dot up at all cost or do no damage” build. It’s 9.2.5 and we’re still here with 0 changes.
What irks me most is that there’s 0 communication and 0 mention on whether these issues are even considered issues. There’s no “we think Havoc is fine as it is” or “We agree but we don’t have a short term solution”, and that’s disappointing.
Here are some posts from the US forums that more than highlight the issues:
- New Class Tuning and dh?
- Havoc 9.2.5 ATTENTION
- How is this okay?
- The current issue with Havoc
- Havoc reliance on borrowed power
- Odd Design
Me? I’ll be playing my Survival Hunter now because on ilvl 255 I do 70~90k dps on packs in M+ where I do 30~40k max on a 276 Havoc DH. I get to spam explosions instead of only pressing buttons to keep a dot up that’s not even part of my base kit and feels unimpactful.
I enjoyed Night Fae last season, and I will say what I’ve said before, we don’t need double legendaries, because they shoehorn us into very specific builds and unless tuned very precisely, just cause wild-growth of power for a few specs while the rest falls behind. Even Night Fae is relatively unfun now because I dislike Unbound Chaos, but with the NF legendary that’s pretty much a must-have.
