I keep seeing things like bows for third spec like we are forgetting Throw Glaive. War Glaives are already a ranged weapon. 3rd spec, 25 yard range Support Spec(or just dps)
First talent (or freebie in general tree) that makes auto-attacks with warglaives a 25 yard range.
the main support ability should be the same as the evokers with a new name like Fel Empowerment. For unique thing seperate from Evoke. An ability (empowered) that consumes souls to heal everyone in the group a small amount. Glaive tempest placeable.

Yes to ranged but how about a throwing spec. Where we throw our warglaives. That hasnāt been done before I would love to see that.
Either that or a caster. But the throwing spec would be my first choice.

I see the glaives as a primary melee weapon, where Throw Glaive is a single ability used when needed because youāre not close enough to your enemy. I canāt see a whole spec built around it.
I do like the idea of a throw class. Though I imagine that more as wielding chakrams, or ring blades, and may have some magic focus in order to control and augment the blades. That would be an entirely different class, though.
We have already seen a DH use a bow in the WoW universe with Ace Hunter Kreen. And I think part of having a ranged spec as bows is breaking up the monopoly on bows that Hunters have, providing a non-pet bow spec, and a bow build that is not pure physical damage as abilities could be enhanced with fel magic.
So looking it up I do not see Ace Hunter Kreen in wow. he is in Hearthstone but I cant find reference in World of Warcraft. How ever in legion right off the start after we escape the wardens we see a dh using a scythe. We also have seen mage npcs using fel fire as their weapon. We have seen other classes use what they canāt use. Sorry doesnāt mean anything. I think a thrown spec would fit well in dh.
Hearthstone is set within the Warcraft universe, with its characters, abilities and items drawing from existing lore.
Sorry I misspoke. Heās in the Warcraft universe, just as the World of Warcraft is in the Warcraft universe.
He is no where in World of Warcraft. Anything like herthstone is lose fitting at best. Hearthstone is a cardgame in wow. Sorry but a character that isnāt in game yea no. Cant use it as a statement of an active dh in the game. He might be in the game but until his NPC is in the game and you can go there and look at it yea it isnāt valid. As I said in legion there is a DH that uses a 2h scythe in Azuna.
We went over this more than a year ago. 
If you canāt grasp that him being part of the Warcraft universe would qualify bow-weilding Demon Hunters being possible in WoW, I canāt help you.
Over a year later and still being so adverse to the idea to post the same nonsense is wild.
Iām going to tell you what I told you then. Just say you prefer a Scythe cause you saw a DH with one once. Iām not going to tell you youāre wrong for wanting that. Being so adamantly against anotherās preference because of your arbitrary conditions on what can possibly be a part of WoW is asinine.
I would prefer someone that is in the game that you can go to the npc and look at not a name on a card in a different game. But hey you seem to think that names on a card makes them in World of Warcraft so its something that you have to have so be it.
Sorry, but also agree. I would not want a bow wielding spec for havoc. I would like a melee spec added that finally gives the option of a movement and a non movement play style. So we dont have such a huge divide between the community. Both styles would have a home and attention.
I have never, not once, went up to a Shadow Priest npc and gone āboy Iām sure glad youāre here in this game so I can play this spec!ā
Nor have I ever thought the same about any other spec in the game, because an npc standing somewhere holding a particular weapon has absolutely no bearing on the way the class Iām playing is designed.
Itās all fantasy, we never saw Dracthyr Evokers before they were put into the game. Nor Pandaren. Thatās how it works, they introduce something new and all the sudden you start seeing more of them.
It doesnāt matter one bit if there are currently no DHs using a bow in WoW. Blizzard has shown they have thought about the idea in the context of the Warcraft universe, heavily favoring the Demon Hunter in World of Warcraft based on the art design.
It is clearly hard for you to grasp, but I can assure you, itās not that big of a stretch to think that it would be a possibility.
You have your thoughts on the game I have mine. I prefer to have what can be seen in game not some card in a game in a game.
We will just have to disagree and be done with it. I wont change how I think and you wont either.
A ranged bow welding demon hunter spec is cooking.

Ive said this for a while now. That or a ranged magic dmg spec but that borderlines lock a bit to much. I think a dual wielding hand crossbow ranged spec would be great
I need a bow wielding DH! Mog Black Bow of the Betrayer and use the sigils for utility and damage along some fel infused arrows. Let hunters keep their guns and have this 3rd DH spec equip bows and xbows.

I JUST found out about this bow tonight! Leveling up a Hunter for a Dark Ranger build and was looking through transmogs I donāt have. Gonna farm for Thoriādal, but I saw Black Bow and thought it would be a great DH bow if it ever happened!
I would perfer a third spec to be more of periodic damage and sigils.
I donāt know, lol. I have a thing for periodic damage and sigils.
Maybe Sigils that hit harder per DOT or apply a DOT. Chaos Strike, Felblade, and Demon Blades could apply the DOTS.
Just some of my 2 cents on it.
Iāll always bang the drum on this:
DH third spec should be ranged DPS that is based on Throwing Glaives and Fel magic.

Thatās not a bad idea and we did kinda see what it could look like when Alleria went full Void Rush on does demons in the cartoon and even use her unique looking bow almost like a glaive with what look like a melee attackā¦ Not to mention how stealth would work and even teleportingā¦
So I think there is potential in such an Ideaā¦ even if itās not Void we end up using in a Third spec. It does have potential, can you imagine you throwing an Arrow or Glaive in a portal only after a sec or 2 hit the enemy? Or Shooting an Arrow or Glaive and porting to enemies hit only to do en exploding backflip as a finisher combo!!? Not even mentioning the incredibly cool Unique Meta and Laser show we might get with the Third spec!
Oh the possibilitiesā¦
I would add flying but Iām sure devs are aware of this being brought up since Legion when Illidan literally flew off in does old in-game scenes (or was it in BC raid? I canāt remember), now is more prevalent with the adding of Dracthyr, but I think they donāt added because of coding involved more than class fantasy. (IMO)
