DH Devourer playstyle is basically the Shadow Priest insanity void form with extra steps

Classes Demon Hunter

So DH’s new spec is Devourer that according to what they said at gamescom, you go into your void-demon form and you have to maintain it by generating void souls to do big/great damage.
Where have i heard / seen this before??

THAT’S A SHADOW PRIEST VOID FORM!!!

It’s the has the same idea, you need to generate Insanity to keep staying in that void form for as long as possible for bigger and better damage output.

I guess since we talking about a demon hunter, it will have the same idea only from either half-range and/or moving in and out in melee for the void souls.

I’ll be honest with you…i HATE the shadow priest void-form insanity farming to maintain the form, and if this new DH spec will be just like that, it will be a HUGE dissapointment.

What i find funny is that guy who introduced this “way of playing” for the new DH spec was so enthusiastic when he said it as if its a new gameplay…i guess he never played shadow priest void form before…

…anyway…waiting for beta to test it out, but my enthusiasm is SUPER low…

Well, tbh, i do like void form playing style with sp and BoS for frost. But even though, i do agree that thematically you are right and this play style doesn’t look very innovative, nor creative for a new dh spec.

Having said that, fear not! (Or no yet at least)
We can still be looking toward the hybrid range and melee game style.
I think not only me, but many other people are waiting to see how this gonna look like. So let’s cross our fingers and hope that it will be viable option for all contents.

Reminds me of the mop demo lock metamorphosis too tbh, personal preference of course but I like it, specially because they also added the fact that: during casting of collapsing star, your fury doesn’t drain away, that’s A plus.

I just hope it doesn’t have a painful amount of ramp-up time like old void form did. Because the spec will be dead before it’s even released unless it’s severely over-tuned.

I am looking forward to void elf DH though.
