Demon Hunter The Next Hero Class? EveryJoe

With World of Warcraft’s first hero class under development for the Wrath of the Lich King expansion, there are many speculations on the possibilities of the next hero class that will make it to the game. The Demon Hunter seems to be one of the most popular choices for the next hero class. Here’s what CM Bornakk has to say.

We have announced and are developing the first (and currently only) Hero Class, the Deathknight. Because of this a lot of discussions have come up regarding future Hero Classes and the Demon Hunter is near the top of the “most often brought up” list due to its popularity and strong lore background.

Would a Demon Hunter be fun to play? Yes, but so would a number of other possibilities.

To be straight to the point: We have not announced any other Hero Classes at this point in time and we will have to wait and see what the future holds after the Deathknight makes its impact on Azeroth. source

The Death Knight was chosen as the first hero class because it fits well with the Wrath of the Lich King theme but also because it was a popular figure in Warcraft lore. The Demon Hunter is definitley another one making it a nice choice for the next hero class. In terms of addressing a need however, the Demon Hunter would only seem to add to the several dps classes already in the game. The Death Knight will fill the need for more tanks. From a needs point of view I think it’s better for the next hero class to be a healer. Of course I won’t complain if the Demon hunter eventually makes it. We’ll just have to see how this pans out when the right time comes.
