Comment by Oixioi can't wait to see what classes will be FotM at launch and which will be total garbage
so far my guess: Devs need to nerf Havoc DH alot more for it NOT to be FotMComment by Wraith33Thank god for the mage nerfs, including temporal shield change.

No Oixio, havoc is amongst the lowest dps specs in the entire game right now with the alpha changes.Comment by 1877560So DH now gets a mortal strike in PvP...Comment by BanehallowzThank god DH got this Mortal Rush ability, he really needed it. Now just give him a way to heal allies and he will have every single mechanic in the game. Perhaps give him an ability that he can use regardless of Line of Sight or something... oh wait, there is that already? Yeah, just add healing and he is good to go.

This expansion's PvP will be just as garbage as it was in the last one.Comment by Ralph2449Oh we already know DHs are gonna be FotM again because clearly some dev plays it.Comment by BlkrockWednesdayWell, ya know, we demon hunters have sacrificed everything. Nice to get a little something back.Comment by Shinhadou12If you guys cry a bitter less about DH and play more your class to master it.oh boy,what a wonderful world!Comment by OrissanIn a way, I think this will make them easier to deal with. Fel rush can throw them out of position, and/or force them to burn their movement to apply the mortal strike debuff. If they take this they will be much easier to kite, or just won't get that much value out of it and not take it often. Pretty sure their blade dance dodge is also now a PvP talent.

So yea, it's really strong, but a lot of DH PvP talents are really &*!@ing strong and it has really nasty competition.Comment by elderwolfAll I want to see on here is survival hunter mongoose bite. removed as a talent and made baseline.Comment by YotslolHow many DHs in the top 100? >> in US : 5.

Just learn to play against him.Comment by Thatoneguy335They BUFFED The Hunt? That skill needs to be entirely reworked or removed, not buffed. And as a Warrior main, the existence of Mortal Rush deeply offends me.Comment by AsheevaAre you guys seriously gonna complain about class balance in the first month of the alpha?Comment by Ralph2449Are you guys seriously gonna complain about class balance in the first month of the alpha?Comment by Thatoneguy335Are you guys seriously gonna complain about class balance in the first month of the alpha?Comment by apedosmilAre you guys seriously gonna complain about class balance in the first month of the alpha?Comment by CasterguyAre you guys seriously gonna complain about class balance in the first month of the alpha?Comment by RoxuroAre you guys seriously gonna complain about class balance in the first month of the alpha?Comment by RumstingerAre you guys seriously gonna complain about class balance in the first month of the alpha?Comment by GoatSPEYou guys crying about DH being FOTM are on crack.
