Possible Demon Hunter Resource Change...

Word on the wind is that there may be some radical changes to the Demon Hunter's resources and ability roll out order.

Let's just say that the class ends up with a single resource pool, might I suggest Revenge or possibly Vengeance?

From the Overview:

"Those who call themselves demon hunters are not a people or a nation. They owe allegiance to no king. They are but a remnant – an echo – of those who’ve lost their lives to hellspawn. When their homes are burnt and their families butchered by demons, most newly scarred refugees give up on living – but a few bury their dead, band together, and swear vengeance."

It would seem fitting enough given that the lives of the demon hunters have been stripped from them by the denizens of hell.

Concerning ability rollout, I really just think dropping something like multishot into the fray much earlier would eliminate the lack of power when compared to other classes in the earlier levels. The demon hunter can certainly get the job done, but it really seems that many of the other classes get it done much quicker.

Anyhow, that's my take and apologies if this is considered rumor mongering. It certainly wasn't my intention.

We're not overhauling the class, just changing up what skills unlock at which levels and fixing some of their resource starvation issues. It's easy to change this kind of stuff. Spreadsheet stuff.
