Demon Hunter Class Guides Updated for 10.2 Rework - Talent Positions, New Talents
With Patch 10.2 already live and Season 3 starting this week, it is a good moment to highlight our Demon Hunter class guides. Both Havoc and Vengeance received substantial change with Patch 10.2 and both currently are among the most promising specs in the new season.
Havoc Demon Hunter Rework in Patch 10.2
Havoc received a rather significant amount of changes heading into Patch 10.2, enough to nearly be called a rework in its own right. A couple of talents such as Felfire Heart and the largely disliked Fodder to the Flame were entirely removed from the spec tree. Elysian Decree was moved into the class tree making it a competitive node against Collective Anguish. Many talents received changes or new talents came in such as Fel Barrage being reworked to be a resource drain for up to 8 seconds, and being added.
The most notable changes to playstyle are based on a few changes and a single new talent. Havocs fury generation was significantly reduced by Isolated Prey being reworked to no longer generate fury on Fel Rush, and Demonic Appetite becoming baseline while nerfed to 20 fury per soul. Metamorphosis had its cooldown and duration reduced from 3 minutes to 2 minutes, and from 24 seconds to 20 seconds respectively. Mixing these fury generation nerfs with Demonic Appetite being nerfed from 8 fury per 0.1s extension to 12 and Demonic being reduced from 6 seconds to 5 however means the uptime of Metamorphosis has dropped significantly despite the increased frequency of actually casting the cooldown. The other large change in playstyle is Inertia added as a choice node against Momentum, inertia currently looks stronger and will significantly reduce the frequency of Fel Rush being used in the rotation. It is worth noting
