What are you hoping the new spec is? Vote Range or Melee
Im voting for Range
-
We aren’t getting a 3rd spec.
It all click bait by streamers. -
If we were, there is ZERO CHANCE blizzard don’t take advantage of that to sell more copies or get more people back without announcing it to the world
-
The 3ed dh in the raid is melee based.
If anything, it would be midnight expac so that they could sell more copies.
It’s makes no sense to have a 3rd.s0ex secretly when the game and the world is ruled and governed by fiat money
I think most people expect it in midnight midnight is only 2 patches away
Melee.
Any ranged spec kills Havoc on the spot for organized raiding unless tuning is bad for the new spec (it won’t be because new specs are always OP)
how do they balanced other classes with melee\range dps specs?
Sounds more like a issue between balancing melee vs range in raid\mplus than anything else, like a boss design issue
Yes, it’s definitely an issue with melee/ranged balancing, but it’s something that happens on every class with ranged options. And also happens on pretty much every boss.
Hunter: Survival barely played unless the thing is broken.
Shaman: Same with enhancement, historically was different because only Enhancement brought WF, but nowadays you only bring Enhancement if it’s OP
Druid: Feral, same drill.
melee tank. less mobile variant
To me they need to fix the melee vs range balance less so remove range from the game. Also survival hunter has never been a popular spec and is in competition with BM which is one of the most popular specs in the game and feral druid is quite a difficult spec like one of the most difficult whereas balance druid is one of the easiest specs.
People said the same thing of Aug.
Not saying that DH is getting a third spec, but still.
Its happening. There is too much evidence in the game to say it isn’t.
Either going to come in .5 or if they learned from introducing Aug it will be a prepatch / midnight thing.
God, I hope it’s 11.2 or 11.2.5 alongside more races. Plllleeeeeeease.
Given hero talents are now a thing it will be a midnight thing if it happens. Trying to pull an Augvoker and shoehorn it in mid expansion would require building a new hero tree and removing one of the existing hero talent options from all demon hunters. This is a massive undertaking and would generate massive Ill-will from players when it could be rolled into the massive class rework that happens each expac when players expect radical change.
Finally we would see them adding tie-ins to the upcoming sets as they are hero spec based.
???
why would DH get a new spec this many years later?
That makes no sense.
And why would there ever be a range spec for a specifically melee class?
It’s not going to happen. And if there is a chance for it, I hope it doesn’t because I don’t want half my spells taken away and put on some 3rd bs spec.
Personally, I’d like to see something similar to survival as far as range vs melee. It would be cool to see us shoot void blasts and then jumping in to deal some damage.
I didn’t say it’s not happening.
I said if it does it’s midnight
They aren’t going to introduce a class mid season and not advertise it
And if you played the ptr raid, then you would also see that the void dh there is indeed
Melee
I would prefer a dps, healer hybrid like Warhammer has in the warpriest/disciple of khaine.
This class allows you to dps, with the benefit of converting the damage you do to heal the party
Aug dropped in the middle of a patch. It was a mistake so I don’t think it’s going to happen again, but there is precedent so I wouldn’t say it’s outside the realm of possibility.
God no. No more supports. We had already a failed experiment with Aug, we don’t need more.
Well
Not sure if you ever played that type of class, but it’s def not just support.
The dps those 2 classes deal out is a tier, while retaining a tier healing for St and aoe.
Also, I’m pretty certain Aug was announced.
It didn’t just appear mid season as a surprise
Im one of the few that enjoys sv hunter.
However, if the spec, which I surmise will copy the soul hunter dh, it’s melee with frontal lane attacks
kinda thinking melee, but heavy SINGLE TARGET or Tank buster damage. feel like it being ranged would disrupt the DH flow a bit.
