So started a new Demon Hunter the other day and while questing in the Demon Hunter starting zone I noticed one of the NPC’s had a 2h Scythe.
- Allari the Souleater
Now firstly Demon hunters have only 2 specs, I think it would make sense to give them a 3rd spec which allows for use of 2h weapons. (Maybe just Polearms and staffs) or something.
It felt kinda weird that Demon Hunters only had 2 specs, and ontop of that why would Blizz then create a Demon Hunter with a 2h Weapon to aid us through the starting experience without letting us play one. I would not have thought 2h Demon Hunters existed if I didn’t see this NPC and now that I’ve seen this NPC i’m wondering why I cant play a character like that.
Let me know if you’d like to be a 2h Demon Hunter too?
i never said they are melee but demonology warlock back in wrath until Legion was Havoc demon hunter today , warlocks had metamorphisis .
Why ? simple question why? we are geting 2h melee dks , we got paladins already having 2h , warrior . why a dh with 2h its legit scuffed arms warrior with warlock abilites or if u wanted to make it ranged its scuffed affliction warlock.
Keep demon hunters as they are , they are unique in their own way
Demon Hunter has insanely strong fantasy due to Warglaives, not using 2 Warglaives would be like rogue wielding 2h Sword. I know they can use different weapons than warglaives, but their playstyle and speed is excluding 2h weapons, these are meant for slower specs.
I agree with Fahratt, Demon Hunter whole premise is they are extremely fast. Classes I can think of that use 2H are:
Plate: Fury and Arms Warrior, Ret Paladin and Blood and Unholy Death Knight
Mail: Survival Hunter (and previously Enhancement Shaman)
Leather: Brewmaster Monks (Druids use their Animal Forms as their “weapons”)
Cloth: None (don’t hit with staff)
It would be interesting, but I would wish Vengeance had access to full Demonsteel Plate and a 2H, which will be never.
So personally, it would be interesting, but look dumb. Since 2H weapons are slow but hit hard, opposite of a DH.
The only “fast” 2H weapons I can imagine are polearms and twinblades (longer glaives with a lot of spining moves). Creating another unique weapon for them is no-no, and any other 2H weapon seems too slow to fit DH fighting style. But another spec is still a good idea.
yes, BUT those polearms would look godlike on DH. Especially in hands of WoW artist team, I am sure they would come up with great animations. I’d switch in a heartbeat.
