With the announcement of the new Devourer Demon Hunter spec coming in Midnight, I wanted to ask about the timeline for new Race/Class combinations.
Right now, Void Elf players cannot make Demon Hunters. Will this restriction be lifted in patch 11.2.5? Allowing Void Elves to become Demon Hunters early would give players time to prepare their characters before the Midnight expansion launches.
This would be especially helpful during the Legion Remix event, since that is a perfect chance to level and “bond” with a new Demon Hunter before Midnight arrives.
Two main questions:
- When will the new Race/Class combos open up?
- How will players unlock the Devourer Demon Hunter spec? (Automatic for existing Demon Hunters, or tied to a questline/achievement?)
Thank you for your time.

I feel it would be weird to let Void Elves become DHs without the new void-themed spec, which turns out to be the whole reason why they are going DH to begin with…
I don’t disagree. Though it is slightly chicken/egg. I do think launching with Legion Remix is the way to go.

The perfect compromise is to only allow void elf demon Hunters in Legion Remix you get to level them up in a setting that doesn’t effect live cannon and when Midnight launches you’ll be ready everyone is happy

I suspect the goal is to get players to level a demon hunter in Legion Remix, then race change to void elf when the expansion drops.
That way Blizzard wins by bumping up Legion Remix numbers and get paid for the race changes.
Genius really.
I wonder if the new race will also be able to be DH seeing they are all batty
I really hope at least the class/race combo comes out in time for Legion. I already have both a night elf and a blood elf demon hunter so there’s nothing I can make for them that isn’t redundant with a toon I already have.

Same. I think having something new to make for Legion Remix makes a lot of sense.
I would imagine access will be granted in the pre-patch for Midnight
i feel the most likely time is during the prepatch event for midnight cuz thats what they did for shadowlands with allowing allied races to become death knights but i hope its before the expansion cuz i want to level a void elf demon hunter so i can play devourer when the expansion drops and i think devourer will be unlocked automatically and they will update the demon hunter intro to reflect that spec i dont think they will lock it behind a quest and they will probably do a similar thing to what they did with allied races being death knights where u open up talking to illidan and he welcomes u into his ranks or they could give void elves the ability to go through the demon hunter intro or give them their own updated version maybe get rid of hero classes and have everyone go through the new updated exiles reach which ties into the war within and have everyone start at level 1 instead of some races or classes start at level 10 which could be neat
It’ll just feel like a missed opportunity to not be able to do a brand-new Demon Hunter in the expansion that introduced them.
