Demon Hunter

**Demon hunters,**  uphold a dark legacy, one that frightens their allies and enemies alike.  Wielding the powers of demons they’ve slain, they develop demonic features that incite revulsion and dread in fellow elves.  Demon hunters made a pact, long ago, to fight against the forces of chaos using their own terrible powers against it. They ritually blind themselves in exchange for spectral sight that enables them to better sense their prey. This enhanced awareness, together with their great agility and magical prowess, makes demon hunters unpredictable adversaries. They wield demonically charged warblades in battle and call upon demonic energies to augment their formidable combat skills.

## Appearance

Unlike most classes, demon hunter characters come with special visual customization options.

* Horns - a number of different shapes and styles, ranging from very large to fairly small, or even no horns at all
* Tattoos - a variety of colors and patterns; a lot of demon hunter-specific armor will expose the character's skin, allowing players to "show off" their tattoos
* Skin variations - from "scaly and demonic" to normal
* Eye wear - veils, with or without the green eye glow

## Specializations

Unlike most classes, demon hunters have only 2 specializations: Havoc, a damage dealing spec; and Vengeance, a tanking spec.

### **Havoc**

Havoc demon hunters are agile melee damage dealers, using the weapons of the enemy against them. They constantly struggle to resist the corruption of the power they wield and can channel that power to achieve feats of impossible agility, or release it explosively in a torrent of chaos.

A highly mobile melee DPS spec, Havoc demon hunters rush and charge across the battlefield, assailing their targets with a flurry of attacks. Their filler abilities build Fury, which can be consumed to unleash a chain of explosive attacks at just the right time. Havoc is a spec with strong burst damage capabilities. With a variety of AoE attacks, Havoc has naturally strong multi-target damage potential, but can also deal powerful single target damage with the right talent choices. Primarily melee, Havoc can also deal decent ranged damage when necessary.

In PvP, Havoc demon hunters hound their prey, chasing them relentlessly and aggressively burning down priority targets, and are especially effective at cutting through to soft backline targets. They have a number of counters to caster classes, while their agility allows them to kite other melee classes, while dealing a steady stream of ranged damage. Their signature strength, their agility, is also their weakness: when stunned, rooted or heavily snared demon hunters are quickly dispatched by the groups of foes into which they all too readily throw themselves.

### **Vengeance**

Vengeance demon hunters wield fire and pain as their weapons. Those who follow the path of vengeance have found strength in their suffering, and by harnessing that power, they are able to inflict it upon their enemies while defending themselves and their allies from harm. They directly attack the soul of their foe.

Capable tanks, Vengeance weather the wrath of their enemies by cleaving fragments from their souls, which can then be consumed by the demon hunter to restore their health. They have regular damage reduction abilities, as well as a number of stronger defensive tools, but primarily rely on self-healing for survivability. They also have access to a number of sigils, used for AoE damage and crowd control, and can leap between enemies, allowing them to quickly counter any threat. They have good AoE and multi-target threat through various damaging abilities.
