User:Blackchoas/Demon Hunter Ideas

Demon Hunters are one of the coolest classes of characters out there and has been loved by fans ever since we first met Illidan. Thus it would only be nature for them to become a Hero Class.

Unlocking
They will follow the same standard as the Death Knight being that you will only need have a level 55 character to make a demon hunter

Races
To become a Demon Hunter you will have to choose between two races. The only two races that have ever been seen as Demon Hunters, Night Elves and Blood Elves. This fits in well with lore cause both have been and are being trained as Demon Hunters and it gives players the choice of Alliance or Horde.

Abilities and Talents
A Demon Hunter's power will fall into three categories, Finesse, Fire and Darkness. The Demon Hunter will also have a unique combat system with Mana that much be stolen or generated in some other way then just auto regenerating it. Finesse powers will use melee attack some attacks that cost nothing and give you mana and others that take mana. Fire will use mana similar to casters except a Demon Hunter's mana bar doesn't auto regenerate. Darkness will have some mana using attacks but will mainly use powers that drain and steal mana from others.

The three talent tree will spec similar to the way a Death Knight can spec. Finesse spec will be a tanking spec, Fire spec will be dps spec and Darkness will be a PvP spec.

Examples: Flame Skin: takes mana per sec and does fire damage each sec to enemies near by

Dark Siphon: Channeling spell that drains life from the target and turns it into mana

Inner Demon: turn the demon hunter into his demon form increasing armor by 1000% and making him immune to most magic and increasing damage by 100% making the demon hunter undefeatable for 30 sec after which the demon hunter will die consumed by his own powers

Metomorphesis: similair to a druid form this form cuts mana gain by 50% but increases threat by 200% and increases armor by 600%

Life Stealer Strike: uses mana to attack with weapon damaging target and healing demon hunter

Weapons and Armor
all one handed
 * Swords
 * Daggers
 * Axes
 * Maces


 * Leather Armor (similar to druid tanking gear)

How It Will Play
Tanking: With a Demon Hunter since they have no shield nor an armor uping form the key to tanking with one will be a high dodge rate. Abilities will include one like evasion and a talent causing threat with each dodge. With enough mana one could also use Immolation to damage and increase threat.

Dps: With a Demon Hunter dps can work in two way either physical like a rogue or more like a ret palidan combinding physical and casting.

PvP: With a Demon Hunter PvP with be enjoyable. Talents will give various curse to use pulse countless mana drain attacks to replenish your mana and deplete a casters

Problems and Weaknesses
The key weakness with in the Demon Hunter will be its Leather Armor which may not provide enough protection if dodge rate isn't high enough. Also in PvP when revived the Demon Hunter will have zero mana and can't regerate by drinking water (but potions will work) while he can steal mana from others this would put him at a disadvatage if faced with a Warrior or Rogue before he drains mana.
