Third Spec: Bow Wielding?

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 hasnā€™t 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 youā€™re not close enough to your enemy. I canā€™t 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 canā€™t use. Sorry doesnā€™t 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. Heā€™s 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 isnā€™t 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 isnā€™t 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. :joy: If you canā€™t grasp that him being part of the Warcraft universe would qualify bow-weilding Demon Hunters being possible in WoW, I canā€™t help you.

Over a year later and still being so adverse to the idea to post the same nonsense is wild.

Iā€™m going to tell you what I told you then. Just say you prefer a Scythe cause you saw a DH with one once. Iā€™m not going to tell you youā€™re wrong for wanting that. Being so adamantly against anotherā€™s 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 ā€œboy Iā€™m sure glad youā€™re 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 Iā€™m playing is designed.

Itā€™s all fantasy, we never saw Dracthyr Evokers before they were put into the game. Nor Pandaren. Thatā€™s how it works, they introduce something new and all the sudden you start seeing more of them.

It doesnā€™t 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, itā€™s 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.
