Would you play a ranged spec?

We really need a third spec for DH, Evoker got one mid Dragonflight so we are long overdue for one. I think ranged DPS would make sense, anyone else would like to play one?

Yes. We need a non-caster ranged spec that isn’t hunter.

I would not play a ranged spec

But I would welcome some improvements to the melee spec we already have.

Do you not think there should be a third spec at all or just wouldnt play it?

At the moment?

Havoc seems neglected, it’s full of bugs and nothing really changed since TWW version was playable despite the feedback from players.

I think we need to have two solid specs before adding a third.

If they handed me another spec that was more fun and did better than havoc, I would play it though.

Been really hoping for a long time that someone got a ranged weapon spec.
Figured it’s always been likely to either be a third DH spec, or Tinker as a new class.

If you wanna be a cool shootymans your choice is MM and only MM.
But even that’s still locked into being a pet class in some ways (mortal strike and lust access).

Fel Archer would be neato.

Can you explain what is neglected abt Havoc?
I main havoc; but i don’t plain in any form of competitive setting so to me honestly it feels like it plays fine.

I would love a mobile mid range (20-30 yards?) Hit and run “ranged” that weaves in and out of melee and swaps between ranged and melee attacks.

For example (and not that it is good just to get across the idea)
After vengeful retreat you deal x% more damage with “insert 1-3 ranged abilities”.
After felblade you deal y% more damage with “insert melee abilities”.

I think something like that is completely missing in the game.

To be honest I sorta play like this! (ik not optimal, I have fun)
a lot of time im using felrush and retreat and then attacking with throw glaive and then felrush or the hunt in to do the melee rotations and so on.

For anyone in this forum that has played it before, it would play almost exactly like red mage from FF14. And I think it would be fantastic to play. Make the movement less wild and more scripted as part of the rotation and give some nice ranged attacks plus the fun burstiness of melee.

That’s called Red Mage, but yes, it’s something that WoW doesn’t have (it kinda did back when Demo Lock had Meta form, though)

It absolutely would and hearthstone even has demon hunters with bows :rage:

So we are all in agreement.

We want Diablo’s Demon Hunter in WoW.
Demon blessed-Dual-wield crossbows, non-caster, sigil bullet- dual-wield pistols.

Got it.

Now you’re speaking my language

10000%.

Either using bows or casting i dont care, but a range DH spec would be badass.

I wouldnt be surprised if its bow/gun though, since its a underused weapon.

Either a fel-themed archer, or a warlock spec in disguise. I’d be down for that - though I’d like to see improvements to Havoc and Vengeance first, of course.

Yes, but are we aware that moment a range DPS spec gets added to DH Havoc is instantly dead?

I for one do not want a D3 DH or a mid range spec. I want havoc back.
