This spell is the most overrated spell in the game by FAR!
The spell is so avoidable it’s insane. On hunter with my low ilvl i can destroy even 210+ DH, simply because their big burst is so easy to counter. Any Nelf can meld it and take no damage lol. I once hammered(on paly) a DH on his travel times and took no damage lol. You can fade it on a priest and many classes have a way to counter this ability lol.
Though a good DH should be faking the cast down to the last .2s of the cast to bait CDs from the opponent, problem is multiple specs have multiple ways to avoid damage from that ability. I simply have never understood the hate towards the hunt, because in hindsight it is probably one of the worse cov abilities in PvP if your taget isn’t straight up stunned without trinket.
well dhs don’t have anything else going for them, at least in 2s.
If you don’t kill with the hunt, you do nothing the next 1.5min. Kinda depressing.
When I tried my ilvl 200 dh in arena, the only time i killed someone was when I brought them to 60% hp, and hunt fel rush them. if they were healed during the cast time, it was basically a missed go.
dhs have no CCs whatsoever (imprison on 1min cd lolz) so it is a garbanzo play style for sure
still troll if an ability hits for 20k+ if lucky with ilvl 200 ;\
Well yes this is the problem with this game. Ppl have different experience they experience different things that creates different opinions about something.
What you say is pretty true… against a pretty bad DH.
In reality DH will never use The Hunt without stun and double fel rush. Setup a go and playing with brain is still a thing.
That’s the problem that against certain classes, they can call your bait multiple times, essentially wasting time for a go, and then you still get played.
If a DH tries to bait me and I feign death, it’s all good, because I will just meld on the next. if he baits that, I can just throw a trap, which is the funniest tbh.
what do they have? Not a single 8s in their skilllist
You need your stuns for your kill target otherwise they just walk away from you.
They basically need to play with a healer that offers cc or you just never kill anything if you don’t play burn. But burn is now also not great because they die much faster than most other specs that you encounter in 2s =)
Its very rare that good players get baited defensives by the spell though because most people know if it doesnt crit and when its not paired with a modifier it also needs a big hefty UBC crit to be threatening.
Burn gets pruned in 9.1, but it was extremely situational of a pick in this very fast paced Expansion and even rarily saw play in 2s.
They’re unfortunately not really compensating well enough for that considering that Rift helped DH tremendously in slower paced seasons. Now you’re just a very weaker budget Warrior with half the tankiness and damage. Not sure how they will fix them.
All toxic mechanics of the entire Class are completly gone with no Leech, no Blade Dance Dodge and now no longer Burn but I am pretty certain that the Class still will get among the most hate because of their new NF legendary with makes them the ultimate roll-the-dice bot coming in 9.1.
Ironic that the least played Class aswell as the weakest melee gets the biggest nerfs but Ret, Arms, Rogue and Feral snowball even more out of control.
Sounds easy for 2s. Its harder to keep cds and mainly GLOBAL cds to be always ready for this one ability, when there are 2 more opponents on top of that in 3s or impossible to play around it in something like bg. And obviously getting one shot by any class just sux when the victim doesnt have bis gear and there is some random offscreen DH with gear flying at you.
And to your baiting comments, yea certain classes can bait DH, but others dont. I dont think I need to explain this issue…
yes you cannot play burn because you cannot damp as hard as others because of garbage def cds.
DH currently could also just be renamed to The hunt, because they do nothing else.
Yes their dps is high in meta but in the current stage of the game dps doesn’t kill anybody until late damp. So they are reduced to a 2 ability class
kinda silly.
annihilation does literally 0 dmg, so buffing it by 10% does nothing at all anyways.
They just don’t fit into the burst meta without the hunt. It will get a heavy nerf but it scales pretty well, so we will see what numbers they have when they got max gear.
Just find it weird that they nerf the hunt but leave other offenders just like they are.
8 SECONDS?! Are you high? So everything below 8 seconds is not a cc or what? GREAT, my fear is not a cc anymore guys, you can’t complain anymore, sorry.
Yeah, i heard that Demon Hunters have no mobility at all and are really slow.
My god, Demon Hunters pumping 4k dps is apparently not enough for the average forum troll here.
apparently you cannot read whatsoever.
Imprison is a cc on a 1min cd
fel eruption and chaos nova is needed on your kill target…
comparing a cc with 1 min cd with a spammable cc lul. Who is high again?
maybe try slowing them? considering they have to use their mobility defensive and even for their stupid burst, yeah.
oh right, afflictions who triples everyones dmg in every match is suddenly godlike then, because tickle dmg padding is now great in this meta.
You are clearly delusional
thing is i am not even a dh player, thus I cannot really be biased -_-
so it is whatever, people just aren’t able to read and run immediately to the forums once they lost to class X
DH is not bad because of the hunt but they have terrible defensives and without the hunt they cannot kill jack - simple as that
Bloodlocks primary problem, same for a lot of others posting here, is that he does not realize the problem is not laying within the Game but its sitting infront of the Screen.
MLS also pretty much destroyed DH in AWC. So MLS is absolutely even more broken now?
Yes, comparing a cc that breaks on damage and has a cast time and can therefore be kicked AND is dispellable to a 1min cd that cannot be kicked because it is instant, cannot be dispelled and does not break on anything. Yes, i am high. /golfclap
I heard that worked really well on their fel rush and Feld blade.
Affli = aeo. Affli damage doesn’t matter because it literally is tickle damage ST.
DH damage = ST. 4k dps on ONE TARGET. Learn the difference.
At least i know what i am talking about. You are like Rhaberon. Clueless and deluded, difference is that he at least has reached 2.4k at some point in his life.
This is actually something I read a lot. I have just looked up a very high rated DH arena video thats not too old and he barely got to 4k when cleaving two targets and managed to get past 4k just with BM and Affliction AoE cleaving.

There is no way you are pulling 4k by straight up tunneling a target nonstop. During a Hunt Window with Dot I can see that, yes, but thats your major CD.
I always find it amusing how you, as an adult at your age and with your private life, can be such an ignorant, unfriendly person.
What, by the way, to also get somewhat onto your hatetrain of unfriendliness and insulting, is the excuse for being even worse at a S+ Tier Ret than on your Warlock?
