How many thought there should have been Demon Hunter class in WOW?

At least avalible as a race class for the Night Elves or Humans.

There is actually a Demon Hunter title for Night Elves, but the idea may have been scrapped. Supposedly, when your character reaches a certain level or completes certain quests (the exact requirements are undecided), they'll earn a hero title. For night elf hunters, their hero title would be "Demon Hunter," human mages would get an "Archmage" title, etc.

Well that explains why I couldnīt find any class named demon hunter
at the WOW web site.

Thanks for letting me know.

I don't really care about hero classes, but nice they should be.

Huh, playing a Demon Hunter would be hard. They're blind, you know...

I don't believe it has been scrapped. I know they're having hero classes for sure, and since Computer Gaming World cited that the Demon Hunter would be a hero class you could attain, I doubt they'd go back on their word.

Of course, Blizzard still has to test all of this lovely higher-level content, so for all we know, the Demon Hunter may be gone by the end of beta testing X_x.

Well, Illidan was blind, demon hunters in general wouldn't be though.

I saw all of them having a bond over the eyes..or whatever...and they see with the spectral light, who gives an aura to their enemies, so they can..feel them..and they hear very good, senses at all high. They have sacrificed for demon powers against demons..

As Ole-The-Murder said, they have sixth sences.
So It wouldnīt be that hard.

Plus I think Blizzard would It make optional If you want have Sixth Sence vision turened on or just ordinary vision.

WRONG!!!! It clearly states in the WC3 manual and I quote "These mysterious warriors ritualy blind themselves so that they develop spectral sight that enables them to see demons and undead with greater clarity" Thats in the Demon Hunter section if you didn't guess. There should be a rite of passage of some kind in which you blind yourself, perhaps at a sacred temple or on your own in the wilderness afteryou've proven yourself worthy. I imagine some ceremonial hot poker on a campfire, but who knows.

Sounds like very good Idea I think.
It would be intressting to see if Blizzard would use this concept.

The spectral vision may cause some balance issues, and the entire idea is a wee bit complex to incorporate into a MMO. I have my doubts that we'll see that feature come retail, but we'll see ^_^.

If its not first person then why worry about it?

Because I know of nobody that would deteriorate his/her character's overall vision in order to see demons and the undead with improved clarity. In other words, you get to delve into the hero classes, and the second you do, your sight goes black and all you can see are undead and demonic characters.

I can't see how, or why that would be placed in a MMO X_x. Perhaps Blizz may have a plan for this, but as it stands, I just can't see it being implemented.

Why would they see just demons and undead? Its says they can see them with better clarity, but that mean they can't see other stuff.

Generally if you're blind you can't see ^_~. I would think that they rely on their other senses to accomodate fpr the loss of vision. Of course, you can't do this as easily with a MMO.

Ahh, so its down to guess work and opininon, I'm not in the mood to convince or be convinced. Discussion Over!!!

There should still have been a Demon Hunter I think.
Even If many are negative to this.

It would still been fun to run around like Illidan and
hunt demons and Evil Opponent warlocks.

Despite what you say.

Ok, My school end at 2:55 pm and get home at about 3:45pm [Pacific Time] Thats 9 hours subtracted from GMT, sweden is +1 hour(s) from GMT. So we have a 10 hour difference between us. So that puts it about midnight at GMT and about 1am in Sweden. I could be wrong though.
