DKs came out of starter zone at lv 60, one expansion behind their expansion. Assuming this happens again, DHs will come out of their starter zone at lv 100, one expansion behind their expansion.
I don't understand why they wouldn't give Demon Hunters a third spec for Ranged DPS. I REALLY REALLY don't understand why the hell they wouldn't have them wear mail. I totally understand that the mythos is important and they want to keep them a certain "flavor", but isn't balancing classes and specs more important than that? We now have twice as many classes that wear leather than wear mail, and 9 classes that have a melee DPS spec as opposed to 7 classes that have a ranged spec. If anything, Blizz not making a second melee DPS spec for the class is just pure %^&*ing laziness on their part.
The story so far:You will be helping Illidan by undertaking a mission on a Legion controlled world.Then cut to you in the vault of the Wardens where the remaining Illidari and Illidan himself (his corpse at least) has been imprisoned.From here I suppose you either jail break out and join the factions because they're less zealous than the Wardens or the Wardens (bar probably Maiev because she's partially insane about this stuff) recognise that they need you to fight the Legion. That's what I'm speculating anyway.Also this hero class specific opening starts you at a higher level so that you can "jump right into Legion" so I'm also guessing you'll be 100 by the time you finish the starting area.
Only melee and tanking spec? I'm a little shocked they can't be ranged spellcasters. Illidan was a famous and powerful spellcaster.
Seem really interesting, only thing that really bothers me is:Paladin, DK, Warrior = 3x PlateHunter, Shaman = 2x MailDruid, Rogue, Monk = 3x LeatherWarlock, Priest, Mage = 3x ClothAnd now, Demon Hunter = Cloth/Leather. How does it not make sense to give them mail? Most of their, albeit scimp, gear is metallic, like MAIL.But apparently, having 2 mail classes, and four of both cloth and leather make sense..?
only 2 races can be DH..?and everyone thinks it's for the lore..? :Di wonder what you need to open your eyes and see it's because they're lazy :D"It was pretty evident that "They were not prepared" for this early announcement and had NO choice due to the direction from the upper management at Activision; in order to plug losses in a war footing."
Its about time. I've been making this suggestion to them for years.
Oh boy, looks like I'll be switching my main class. haha (Main; Hunter)
Did you guys miss the part where they said they have been developing this expac for years? I bet they have a story map all the way out to the 10th expac, and start preliminary work on expacs about 3 years prior. Then they probably beef up the team as the newest expac was released. It only makes sense to have dev cycles like that.
What will the Spectral Sight be like? Will it resemble the old Human Perception racial, which was an "on use" ability granting 50 stealth perception levels for a few seconds? Or will it be an "always active" passive ability, like the later Human Perception racial (that only improved stealth perception by 5 levels)? Will it have a range inside which stealth/invisibility is detected, maybe with a bigger chance to reveal stealthed/invisible units the closer they are to the Demon Hunter? Or will it allow the Demon Hunter to unveil stealthed/invisible units no matter how far away they are?For the ability to make sense - to be an interesting ability - it needs to be powerful, so I think it might be quite capable at detecting stealthed and invisible units. On the other hand it will probably be an "on use" ability lasting X seconds with a cooldown. Otherwise, if it becomes a powerful passive (always active) ability, it will probably be overpowered vis-a-vis rogues and ferals in pvp.
It would make perfect sense and fit very well in the lore if they allowed trolls and draeni to become demon hunters too, they aren't going to do this though it will definitely be exclusive to elves. Night elves are simply ancient trolls that have walked into the sunwell and came out as beautiful night elves and the draeni have arguably been #$%^ed over the most by the legion , their home planet was destroyed by the legion, then their refuge planet was destroyed (draenor) and now their second refuge planet (azeroth) is on the brink of destruction and we have already seen plenty of corrupted draeni and the metamorphosis looks enough like them anyway. I main a troll so I would like to see some more authentic character build with vol'jin he was practically non existent in WoD. We didn't hear a single word about vol'jin in the live stream but we saw plenty about alliance leaders. The horde is in shambles and since the horde and alliance will be at eachothers throats it's time for us to see vol'jin became a glorious leader. Thrall is going to die so we can get doomhammer and so will King vyrne so his son can take over but I really do hope that a degree of neutrality between horde and valliance returns like it was in vanilla, horde has never been "bad" guys besides arguably orcs, any alliance the tauren are a part of is not evil period. The binary and childish perception of horde as bad guys needs to end. And before anyone says anything about undead they are hardly a part of the horde and joined by default, I mean the horde had the option in vanilla to be at war with the forsaken and kill undead players ffs.
"their home planet was destroyed by the legion"You know, if you argue lore you probably should know it better. Also it's spelled 'Draenei'.
Can't wait to have to roll against another class for leather gear.
1. Awesome!2. From these images i can say that Blood Elves look better in demonic form than Night elves, they look like Succubi! That's unfair. I wish that Night Elves would look better, sure Illidan was no beauty but remember he had an entire harem in the Temple! =)3. Does that mean that we will FINALLY have ourselves some warglaives? I mean the guards, trolls, other demon hunters all have them - what about us?4. Can DH fly? Illidan could, his wings wasn't just for gliding. I want to fly! Of course that would make a pain in the neck to make animation for flying with wings... (But i miss my City of Heroes flying soooo bad...)5. I feel conflicted. My main is rogue, and i feel that i will love to play as DH. But that's another class to steal my leather! XDAlso scared that i switch my main to DH...6. What is the starting level? If we were to begin our jorney durning Burning Crusade that means it's lvl 60? 70?7. Lvl 100 boost will be included with game right? And what about it's price? What about lvl 90 boost, will it be removed? Will it be cheaper?8. Okay so we lived through Suicide mission - does that mean we were betrayed by The Betrayer OR is he still our leader? I mean can we like save Illidan from his Stalker with a crush? I mean why else would she kidnap him?9. There won't be a Sargeras is there?
