Demon Hunter Nerfs Coming Today - Blizzard Developers Tweet
In a series of tweets Blizzard devs today announced that Balance changes were coming to Demon Hunter as soon as later TODAY. They initially have their eye on the following cards: Skull of Gul'dan, Imprisoned Antaen, Eye Beam, and Aldrachi Warblades. Balance changes are also planned for Arena mode and even further Balance changes are planned for late next week. Read all the information in the tweets below!
Quote from BlizzardWe're planning on making some balance changes that should go out today. Cards we're looking at are Skull of Gul'dan, Imprisoned Antaen, Eye Beam, and Aldrachi Warblades. We'll send out the final info from our official channels when it's ready.
Quote from BlizzardWe're also making some adjustments to Demon Hunter in Arena. We don't have enough data to make large scale micro-adjustments, but we're opting to make balance changes by hand while we wait for the normal full patch to take place.
Quote from BlizzardAs for Demon Hunter class balance, we'd like to keep the class-defining pieces more powerful while pulling back on the cards that make DH feel like it's good at everything.
Quote from BlizzardThe expectation should be that there will be a lot of balance iteration over the next few weeks. We'll be making changes a little more frequently until we feel that DH is in a fun, unique, and balanced state.
Quote from BlizzardWe have another patch planned for late next week that will address any further changes we want to make to Constructed, Battlegrounds, or Arena.

Posted Apr 8, 2020 (Outland Release)We did an interview with Dean Ayala at the Summit where Ashes of Outland and Demon Hunter were revealed to press and content makers and pro players and they were pretty adament even then that they would keep a close eye on Priest and DH to make sure they would be balanced properly. So it's not all that surprising that changes are coming swiftly.
Kudos to them for walking the walk after talking the talk though.

Posted Apr 8, 2020 (Outland Release)They redid a large section of their classic and basic cards and gave them a whole new base. There is a chance that those changes don;t work and Priest is still in a bad way or that they overshot and that Priest becomes a terror with OP cards.
So we asked Dean if they were keeping an eye on Priest to make sure they'd be balanced okay even after the initial set of changes, and he said yes, but not just Priest, Demon Hunter too, since they are a completely new class and we have tried to get everything right, but there's always a chance that we missed things and will need to make adjustments.
And they are, quite swiftly.
