The writer is clearly knowledgeable on the subject and should be respected. I would have liked to see a paragraph dedicated on how to easily FIX the spec so assuming Blizzard are watching, it can give them feedback on fixes, rather than just "spec is now bad"!
I'd say these changes were going too far if the class didn't still have their overpowered mastery and movement abilities. There has to be a trade-off for those and these sort of changes are it. If they couldn't double jump/glide without a cooldown and their mastery didn't increase their movement speed then they should be treated like any other class. But they still have those so they deserve what's coming to them. A simple solution would be to only let them double jump and glide during Metamorphosis and also reduce the duration of Metamorphosis to around 20 seconds since it also grants OP leech, but that hasn't happened so I don't see how they can complain at this point even if the class becomes less fun.
I wish I enjoyed the DH. I really dig the class fantasy, but its abilities animations makes me really dizzy.. Am I the only one? guess maining frost dk since forever had left a mark on me on what I can and cannot play haha

First Blood should be baseline, it's too strong in any possible situation, and any nerf would instantly invalidate it in favor of Cycle of Hatred for moar Eye Beams. Felblade kinda should be baseline too, minus the charge effect or coupled with some sort of Fel Rush nerf, they have enough jumps/charges already. About the only thing that had ANY interaction with ANYTHING - active Fury generator that could get CD reset from Demon's Bite. Apart from this, everything that is on CD should be used on CD, a monkey or child could do it, yet it ALSO has tools for everything & insane survivability despite being leather DPS.Well, DHs got their 5 minutes of being heroic class in Legion, the demon expansion is over, the grace period of BFA is almost over, back in line with them. I'd start by tuning down their crazy jumping around though, not damage/"rotation", it's already easy enough to play.
Wrong way to nerf the class. All of us prefer a nerf based on increasing the difficulty of the rotation. How to do it? DH is the only class that dont have procs that affect to the rotation of the class. Only fill bar and spend it.
Yeah... Havoc Demon Hunter have been an oppresive presence in PvE and PvP alike since their release, so excuse me for not feeling all that sympathetic towards them for getting some minor nerfs to bring them on the level of us mere mortals.
Everyone complain about havoc, when at the same time vengeance demon hunter is even worse.
People here saying good riddance its about time yay DH nerfs dont really understand much about us or they cant play their own class.Do you raid mythic ? Do you do higher keys than 10? We lose to many classes dps wise. Just because other classes haste /crit stack corruption they are already stronger. We can only rely on IS or TD to keep up and going so overboard with corruption you take risk of dying to it.There are other easy classes that do really good dps just by pressing few button.BM hunter comes to mind but i dont see anyone yelling and screaming their heads off because of them. Just please insult us more without knowing facts.Momentum...well thats a funny talent. I personally will quit my DH if momentum becomes the talent to choose if you want to do dps.I dont want to be backjumping and fel rushing middle of fights. Especially if the fight is on a small platform or if theres aoe pools on the ground that hurt you. I'm not risking death just so i can fel rush myself off platforms or backjump into a pool of something and die. That talent to me isnt enjoyable and i will never play it.I'm not asking for havoc to become top dps but i'd like to stay useful i dont want to see us being bottom dps jumping back and forth fel rushing left and right while other classes just stand there happily doing good dps. I'd also want to enjoy what i play and with all these changes im not sure i will enjoy my havoc which is sad i put alot of work into her geared her up learned to play her well.
the future looks terrible. i hate feeling slow. BFA prepatch was hell.

Not a great article really. A lot of the points made were good however constantly using the word nerf at the beginning of an expansion seems a bit ridiculous. especially when number tuning hasn't even beguin
So basically just remove everything a DH is played for? ok i quit
Finally lmao, i'm getting sick of all of these DH players crying about the changes - but completely ignoring the impact DH has on PvP as well as PvE. Your class is braindead and shouldn't have all of the utility, burst, sustain, and everything that it does, it's absurd. Maybe WW will finally be better than DH lmao
