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.

I totally agree with you! Skull of Guldan propably get to draw 2 cards and reduce cost by 2 or even 1?
Listen and listen very carefully :
Blizzard is releasing X-pacs while they are already DONE upfront since 6-9 ( or was it 12? ) months ago. So this X-Pac was more or less, finished 6+ months ago.
Second thing is, they have internal tests ( friends & family ) which they are MANY! All Blizzard HQ is playing HS and testing and such. How the heck they .. didn't see this coming is beyond me!!
Now, go ahead and tell me again, HOW well did whatever that guy you quoted, wrote ?!
This is the worst release ever.
If WoW next x-pac will release in such bad shape, well .. guess what will happen!
The short answer: they probably did, but to create hype around Demon Hunter they made the cards too strong just so they kan nerf them later
I dont know, but for me DH feels not very strong. I played my Zephrys Mage at the start and it was really better and was killing most of DH. Is it really that broken? I mean, Imprisoned Antaen is broken and Skull should be nerfed a bit, but Eye Beam and Warblades are the only heal of this class, will it be another rogue after nerf?
Making a class very powerful in Standard means that it will absolutely be broken in Arena, that ain't rocket science. How does cards like Skull of Gul'dan, Coilfang Warlord, Priestess of Fury get the go ahead for starters? Especially for Arena? It actually makes zero sense. The drawing power of Demon Hunter is already extremely good and they throw jet fuel on it with Skull of Gul'dan. Nourish was too powerful for Druid for similar reasons, but they go and make a broken version of it for Demon Hunter. How does one begin to understand that?
Blizzard Is the worst. I can see Just three scenarios : a) they don't test a shit and we are paying to play a beta; b) they are unable to understand that a class Is broken; c) they did It on purpose to sell more cards.
In is any case Blizzard Is to shame. I pretend some Lead designers got fired after this.
If those are the only scenarios you can see, then you are blind.
"u dun tst things blizzard u suck"
These folks have no idea about software development, statistics and competitive online games.
There's nothing that even comes remotely close to touching Demon Hunter, how they released it in that state I'll never know. The fact its getting nerfed 24 hours later just proves how fucked up it is. GG Blizz.
Wow, who would've thought that Antaen and Skull are too strong?
I suggest deleting the class.
So long as they don't touch Priestess of Fury. I'm ok with the changes they're making. The only card I truly care about.
In my entire hs history for the first time I got a busted deck and it is getting nerfed next day lol. I had to suffer pirate warrior, jade druids, shaman stone for months.
Tho I just had to craft one card to complete deck.
I do and I have to agree with you. LoL was on the 1st place in the list I saw btw 😅 The community there is muchmuch worse, it's all like "You noob. It doesn't matter that you are 8/0, when I am 0/10. It's your fault that you didn't help me. Pls x9 idiot." 😆
Lol, going to make them even easier to farm than now. Easy legend rank.
So they copy gwent mechanic "wait x turns to do x" but in gwent these minions are killable, in HS they are dormant (unkillable). In the case of Imprisoned Antaen its lilke a deal 10 dmg battlecry, why u dont punish the minion stats? a 10/6? really?..
I came back to HS after 1 year (I play since naxx), game feels good, but i see some cards really broken and some cards bother me hehe, but this post is about DH.
Naxx is released???
very well written.
It's nice to see a comment like this light up in the dense fog that is the toxic Hearthstone community. I couldn't agree with you more.
I’ve somehow been stomping DHs with my home brew Spell Mage deck. Praise Yogg. I don’t even have the Reno hero.
Well that was quick...
