Let's just ignore the fact that 100% of the day 1 matches will be mirror matchups. How do you feel about Demon Hunter as a class? It's super early to discuss this, I know, but nevertheless let's do that.
Personally, I love the addition of a new class. I am rather sad that it's not Death Knight and that we will probably never see that happen, but that's just how it is.
I gotta say I dislike Demon Hunters pure IN YOUR FACE identity. Didn't we have enough of it already with hunter? Nevertheless, I'd like to hear what fellow hearthpwners think. Cheers.
DH minions seem to have low health so stuff like Breath of the Infinite will wreck them, but overall the powerlevel seems quite high. They don't have powerful armor/healing and they will take a lot of face damage so might be weak to burst.
I'd have to see how their overall set looks, but I'm very excited about having a 10th class in the game. Their in your face style, weapon enhancements, and overly aggressive minions definitely seem to set them apart from other classes.
Personally, I really dislike Demon Hunters' background. Sorry, but they are just a bunch of emo kids. It was fine for me when there was only one of them around (Illidan Stormrage), but seeing many just doesn't feel right (yeah, I don't like WoW: Legion expansion). Cringe as f...k!!! :(
To be honest I'm really surprised that they decided to add new class but I'm super happy about it. Finally they are not afraid to make huge changes to the game. It actually made me really excited to play more since I've not played much in the recent months. I would rather have monk than demon hunter though but any changes are always welcome. Maybe they will add Monks in the future. Not sure about DK because of Knights of the Frozen Throne though.
ehh, anoother face and swarm class, and not only that but it's a face and swarm class that actually gets a TON of card draw as if facing constant influx of face decks since CW got nerfed in 2019 hasnt been annoying, so i'm pretty much not excited about facing them.as for playing them i'll go with the "don't knock it off until you try it" before givig any veridict about if the're fun to play or not
edit: what i'm really sure about is that with this class they're trying to bring in some slay the spire player base because the look, color palette, artworkk and feel of the new cards plus their playstyle (particularly the outcast mechanic and the focus on twin slice) feels really slayis the spire to me.

So this is EASILY and by far gonna be the strongest class by a landslide.
Top notch SMORC capabilities ? [x] CHECK
Top notch AoE capabilities ? [x] CHECK
Top notch Card Draw ? [x] CHECK
Top notch Healing ? [x] CHECK
Top notch Tempo ? [x] CHECK
Top notch Mana cheating ? [x] CHECK
Top notch Flexibility to either flood or control the board and switch Playstyles ? [x] CHECK
Cheapest Heropower to ping, that can be stacked up ? [x] CHECK
....I most likely forgot about one hundred and one things.
The fuck you mean top notch healing lol? They have a glaring apparent weakness being lack of healing and self harm via weapons and the like. They will definitely be susceptible to burst.
Literally just build hyper tank warrior on day one and enjoy an 80% winrate. Nothing previewed from DH so far tells that they can out damage what warrior can do. Armorsmitg, shield block, hell even just armor dragon stuff. Good luck bursting through that.
I kinda agree with some people in that I'd be a little more excited about Monk being added instead of Demon Hunter, if only to see a Pandaren hero, but a new class is pretty cool regardless. Anything that makes the game more exciting again is welcome, and Demon Hunter as the 10th class definitely helps with that.
Too bad that Illidan's portrait looks ugly as hell. I guess I have to force 1000 wins as quickly as possible in hope that the "Platinum" portrait looks a bit better.
As for the gameplay approach... I don't know. I think it's just weird to have a class with a default 1 mana hero power. Feels like they put the new class on a pedestal and allow it to be all special and different, when it should follow the core rules.
And ironically, aside from the hero power, it doesn't seem that special and different so far. The core set that the class is given looks like a mixed bag of everything. A bit of lifesteal, a bit of minion swarm, a bit of board clearing, a bit of card draw, a bit of removal, weapons, direct damage... cynical as I am, I can already imagine a "class identity" discussion coming up later this year, when the developers say that Demon Hunter can do too many things. From the first impression, it feels extremely flexible, and combines Druid, Rogue and Warlock with direct attacks, cheap spells, minion swarming and big demons. But I'll wait for now until the class is out. Most of the cards look pretty solid, but I can also imagine that the class will struggle in the first expansion, because they can't just release a tier 1 deck with the initial set that everyone gets right away.
Still, I'm excited to try it out. And I'm really curious if Illidan can make himself, classic Illidan Stormrage, playable. Would be hilarious if Illidan sucks in his own class, being played by himself.

I get a strong pirate warrior vibe from this class. I feel like getting a board will be worthless this expansion unless you're DH.
Anyway rip rogue thanks to no board clear since Vanish got yeeted.

I do wish it were Monks though.

Okay, after seeing that vid showcasing their new cards and abilities, that class is going to be a real contender, if not OP.
Illidan seems legit. Cool artwork, decent cards with combo potential.
Release the Kraken!
Huntards are crying in the corner.
Hey 5 dmg Heropower that goes face is totally fine and balanced. Mirrorstone Day 1 Here we gooooooooo <3
This seems to be aggresive class. Hunter Vs Demon Hunter would be Smorc fiesta. I doubt it is good for this game.

Well it seems that .... You are not prepared!

But Platebreaker is a common neutral card so that's what I am afraid of.
no. Just no. you are counting your chickens before they come out of the chicken, and i don't see any good healing in this class at all

Its meh. Seems like another tempo/aggro class like rogue. Would have loved to have seen monk
