Oh dear. Considering how much of a backlash the Witch Doctor received, this is going to be even worse.
Anyway, I personally find the class to be preety cool. I just wish they would lose the heels....seriously, it must be really impractical to run around in those.
Speaking of the Demon Hunter, I wonder how the male variant will end up looking.
Yeah? The Witch Doctor had a huge backlash? I thought that was an excellently realised class.
I can understand why people'd be mad because it wasn't a Necromancer or Druid, but I don't see why it would get hate apart from that. The only thing I don't like about them is the summoning though. Undead dogs? I don't really get it. 'Necromancer= summon fallen enemies' and 'druid= wild pets' is a much stronger concept than the 'Witch Doctor= undead hounds'. I'd have preferred if they tried a different route like maybe controlling enemies as pets through voodoo or something else.
The demon hunter just strikes as bland in terms of visual design. I don't mind repeating archetypes and doing a simple archer character, but a demon with red eyes in shiny armor with double crossbows? Ehhrghhg. What's the culture behind that? Are there tribes with tons of demon eyed knights? I don't know I don't really dig it.
I also dislike it when you put pre-dominant weapons inside classes. Everyone should get to chose what weapons they want with each and every class. Maybe the demon hunter has different weapons builds available (probably) but the whole double crossbows seems to much like a trademark weapon to me. Anyway, can't wait to see more videos on this.
