I have to admit I am pretty amazed with the "recent" introduction of the demonhunter. It feels like putting my favourite d2 characters into one. Thank you blizzard
I'll introduce you to my thoughts about my pvp demonhunter, which I am already thinking of
Since we have only some skills revealed, I can only assume whats going to happen.
I am dreaming of a demonhunter being able to be played like a guided arrow / multishot amazon combined with 1 - 2 trap skills and a decent positioning move like vault. Additionally she has the possibility to entangle 2 - 3 opponents and / or do some nice shadowskills which aren't public yet! Ofcourse we don't know how good entangle will work in arena or if we get a guided-arrow-like skill, or similarly ranged.
I'd play her together with a slow time wizard and a team orientated barbarian. I wouldn't suggest using her as damage dealer only, more as a multitasking tool for the team, control, harass em into corners , set up traps and combos with your wizard/barb.
Sadly I have the impression, demonhunter has less range than an amazon, am I wrong? Well, we didn't see the demonhunter in the arena so far.
So what you think, in which direction demonhunter will evolve?
Do any fellow dh'ers have some build ideas right now?
Let me know!
/edit I forgot to say she uses a 2H Bow or 2H Crossbow, depends on base speed they come with.
No pvp specific items plz!
Evaluating the best pvp stats for your character and seeking for those specific stats on e.g. a rare item was and will be one awesome reason for why diablo is so great. Isn't it?
I'm in for full dedication to pvp after some months of storyplay/farming/getting rich
Though trading for the best items gonna be a big part to reach the aim of getting an ultimate pvp machine ^^
Amazon Basin is old school. Although, we've arguably been around longer (us: 1998, AB: 2001). Just saying. 'Cuz we're the best and everything. Not to sound conceited. Just saying.Just saying...
(This may be rooted in a subconscious inferiority complex.)
All that muck aside, welcome to the community If you need anything, I am able to grant all of your wishes and desires*.

hey, hi magistrate, some conceit is naturally and pretty okay
I see I'll have to talk to Zhar! Thx 4 the tip!
I'm around here for a while, reading this forum since 2008, just never registered myself.
This site is a truly unique project, I've never encountered such a professional and ambitious fan site in around 10 years of personal diablo history.
So first of all: Thank you diablofans.com, diablofans staff and members. You're doing an awesome job!!!!
My personal background:
In the beginning I was introduced to diablo2 in the year 2000 by a friend. From this time on I was hooked to d2, it was a great time hackin' and slashin' through classic, it even got better in the expansion set. The run for items, pvping, trading and the appereance of a real market inside a game, just amazed me.
Later on, I stopped playing pvm, and went for one thing only:
The great decade of legit pvp 1.09 - 1.11
What is legit pvp you may ask?
It was a term used for playing pvp under a restricted rule set, which balanced out the flaws diablo 2 naturally had. Those rulesets were introduced and developed by leagues and pvp communities. The aim was to give different team vs team setups equal chances while fighting each other. During 1.09 those leagues were huuuuuuge, I remember tournaments with around 30 4n4 teams dueling each other. Besides 4n4 there also existed 1n1, 2n2, 3n3 leagues/tournaments. Most mentionable communities were duellliga, art of war, postreality, euro-pvp and polish clan league.
I remember being very eager and motivated to be one of the top players around, and well I partly succeeded. When I look back, I can say we (the teams/clans I was in) won some of those tournaments or at least got among the top 5 nearly every time. I also managed to evolve to one of the top assassin players around, it was a great time, although daily training was essential to stay up to the competition. But hey I was young and had nothing to do except passing school / university, life was easy
With experience and time passed, there came duties and responsibilities as for example being assassin moderator in various communities, admin of art of war, part of the rule development team e.g. at euro-pvp.
Our aim was to step up to the next level and make D2 dueling more interesting as an e-sport. We dreamed of receiving sponsorship for tournaments or leagues, or even sponsorship for the better teams around that time. We spent a lot of time bringing d2 pvp to a professional level, but ... we failed. Sponsors weren't interested, human resources were low and after introducing past 1.09 content, many active players just left to wow or quitted. I also think, if we would have had shoutcasters, streams of tournament finals etc. it could have become a lot better.
In 1.10/1.11 this scene did get another little push, because of many youngbloods joining the legit dueling scene, but it never was as many players as back in 1.09. To sum up, the scene was dead at around the year 2009. None of the mentioned communities do still exist, nor do the players or the items we gathered over years. Thanks to blizzards deleting/banning wave in 1.11, where nearly every user playing with a modified language dll or other bagatelles lost all of his wealth.
Luckily, I stopped some months before this happened, I would have cried ^^
Nevertheless, this time was my best time ever playing a game, due to friendships, the work and the little effort we had. Hell yeah I even met the guys I played with in real life. Is there anything better you can expect from a game?
So what are my expectations for the upcoming DIABLO 3 (if it ever comes out before I am too old to react ... )
First of all, I am pretty sure, pvp is gonna be big in d3. In the longterm, it's the thing which will keep me playing for the upcoming 4 - 10 years. What I expect next is a huge wave of former d2 players coming back to meet up, form leagues, an active scene. I also do appreciate the dedication of people like FORCE (thumbs up!) who plans to shoutcast future tourneys and so on, this is what an active pvp scene needs: COVERAGE. You should have been around 6 years ago dude ^^. Although blizzard said they wont focus too much on pvp, I hope this time we can get it popular and big.
Last thing I wanna talk about is the time which has passed since anouncement of diablo 3.
What can I say here ... well development is faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaar toooooooo slooooooooooooow.
I personally wait for it since I dunno... many moons ago describes it best I think. Diablo 3 is now at the peak where people are losing interest... so they better hurry up.
A simple example: We already worked out a D3 pvp focused website, forum, tournament/league scripts, marketing concepts etc., 1,5 years ago.
Why? Because we had the impression D3 is around the corner.... Nowadays, none of the people involved have any interest in the topic or just dropped the idea. It simply took too long. Thx to blizzard for raising false expectations.
Well, thats my introduction and my personal diablo history. Hope you had an interesting read.
greetings to the following (uuuhh nostalgic purpose):
Art of War Community
Duelliga Community
Postreality Community
Euro-Pvp Community
The Amazon Basin
Legit Ear Hunters Clan
Terrorcorps Clan
Terror ad Vincit Clan
Vik, Spirals, Invisible, Faleya and many other people I've met in those years, too many to quote each.
I appologise for my grammar and vocabulary, english is not my mother tongue.
