There is no beating them. You have to get incredibly lucky. You can load up on direct dmg spells like fireball and hope they let their health dip too low. They have too many ways to kill you and a 1 mana hero power is just stupid in arena. I made a DH deck and went 6-3. 2-3 against DH everything else was just easy wins. Its too bad really. Its ruining the arena. Its suppressing decent decks in other classes and they can play u when you go 0-2 because the first 2 you played against were DH games. At least at 0-2 you should never play against a DH so you got that going for ya.
I had some luck with a priest deck but thats cause i could thoughsteal their OP cards and MC their OP minions. Still only went 7-3 though
3-3 run in arena (my current average thanks to DH), 3 demon hunters faced, 3 loses. I never got the option to pick DH too from 6 runs, but i always seem to face one. go figure. Arena is a joke now, save your gold.

Here to punish the bad posts, so you don't have to.
I beat one, should have beaten another (11 cards left, opp on 4, 2 frostbolts, a 2 damage scorpid, an arcane breath that would be active, and a flamestrike that would have given me the time to win all left in the deck. Three turns, no luck whatsoever, and a topdecked flamestrike... when opp had me on 1) with a, frankly, rather nuts mage deck. That went 1-3, with the third loss being to my internet (daily outage was about 50 min later than usual, so thought it wasn't coming, it's usually 12:28 on the dot).
I haven't posted here in ages(quite frankly I stopped playing arena) but just came here to say demon hunters have cards that really shouldn't exist in the arena format. Like why does that guy that drops a large taunt have rush? What on earth.
You have a neutral 6 mana minion that deals 6 damage randomly to everything as a battlecry, and is pretty badly statted. Pretty balanced. Then you have the demon hunter version for one extra mana does 6 damage, only to enemies, at the end of every single turn, has great stats... why?
I'm not sure the other classes have anything new that compares.
And then there's multi attack mcgee 5-10, it would be one thing if it was just 1 or 2 obnoxious cards, but my word, it just keeps going.
No reason to pick anything else, they are on several tiers above everything else.
Yes you can beat them - The only right answer was a Spell Mage for me
Drafting Spell mage is pretty hard, I find. Regardless, 3/3 as DH is pretty bad; they're around 50%, I'm finding. They win, so aren't getting many in the 0-1 or 0-2 brackets, and aren't always offered.
How are people finding Arena DHs post-nerf? I'm finding them handleable with my current deck, but trable nova, SW:Ruin, double Mind control, and a curve that's spiked at 1 and 4 - drops isn't really average :P

Arena is nothing but TRASH now. Thanks Blizzard for not testing your product AT ALL. Worthless.

DH is stupid in general. Arena? Even worse.

Every single game I had was against DH.
It's soooooo boring....

I feel you. I'm a wild player, and it hurts af that they don't even play test wild
