All The Demon Hunter Nerfs - Now Live!
After making an announcement earlier today, Blizzard followed up with a post with the details of the Demon Hunter Nerfs. Several cards had mana changes and Aldrachi Warblades had a durability change. There were also offering rate changes to a whole host of Arena cards. These changes are live in game now. Read all the details below!
Quote from BlizzardHey everyone,
Over the next couple of weeks, we’ll be keeping an eye on the power level of Demon Hunter. Our goal is to make changes when necessary in order to get Demon Hunter to where we believe it should be. Today, we’ll be applying the following balance updates to a few Demon Hunter cards in a server-side patch (meaning you won’t have to download anything):
- Skull of Gul'dan – Mana cost increased from 5 to 6.
- Imprisoned Antaen – Mana cost increased from 5 to 6.
- Eye Beam – Outcast Mana cost increased from 0 to 1.
- Aldrachi Warblades – Durability decreased from 3 to 2.
We wanted to get these changes out the door today, and in doing so you will only see the new stats for these cards—displayed in both red and green—in matches, not in your Collection. The red and green numbers will return to white and the cards will be updated in your Collection with a data-only patch that we’re expecting to deploy before the end of the day tomorrow.
For Arena, we’re making changes today that will see Demon Hunter class card offering rates decreased until we’re able to properly address the class with more accurate micro-adjustments in a future patch. The following cards have had their offering rates reduced in Arena:

For me, cards are still 5 mana both rare and outcast says 0 mana?
And i can disenchant skull and antaen for full dust but not eye beam.
Eye Beam is a basic card for Demon Hunter, you can't DE basic set cards.
The 1-mana Eyebeam?, when it should cost 0 due to Kael?
Huh. I'd say no; it must be a bug caused by the fact that outcast is indeed triggering it, and this emergency update has set that to 1 without thinking about this interatction. I'm sure it'll be fixed by the full patch soon
Ok.. so Eye Beam when drawn from Skull of Gul'dan cost 0 but when its outcast it cost 1 even though i still said 0 (in the game..) im so confused.. :D isnt that.. wrong ??
it's not wrong because it doesn't say "cost 2 less", but it does feel weird to get punished by activating outcast, they'll probably change that.
yeah.. you dont want to use it outcast now.. ever.. :D when you draw it grom skull of Gul'dan ofc
Yup, they can't even hotfix things right.
1 + 1 = 2, unless you are an outcast then it's still 1.
It doesn't say +1. It says "Outcast: this costs 1". It's not that hard to read and understand
hmm if you were replying to me.. i totally get that but.. outcast should give you a bonus.. but in this case it punish you :/ oh thats wrong.. :/
Yes, and it punishing you is fine because Skull is already broken.
wow.. okay.. see u are not fan of DH.. :/ would like to know what would you say for a punishing effect for a class card you like and play.. :)
well the no duplicate blue thing doesnt appear to work after you dust the card. I opened a pack without having the full amount of DH blues and I got 2 different class blues in my new pack.
no.. they said once you get the card, its marked as collected and even if you dust it, it still is marked as collected so you can get it but only as duplicate.. people then could just dust the golden one and get it right away in a next pack ?? :D hmm i dont think so
Stupid nerfs. xDDD. Why Blizzard always nerf cards which are fine.
1. print op cards
2. get $
3. nerf op cards
4. repeat

while there is revive priest around they nerf dh roflmao destroy all minions u know what lets Silence them too! :D
Are you saying that DH should not have been nerfed because the completely overpowered Priest class has a 9 mana spell that kills DH minions?
It's unfortunate the new class is a work in progress, when it should've been completed, tested and balanced before release.
I feel like this is all rushed to get more money in their pockets and to take advantage of mass quarantined (and soon to be) people with phones.
I didn't even use my google survey money this patch, and I am actually insulted at the cost of the BG expansion pass. Would've been completely fine with it if it was season long like year of the Phoenix.. but for a few months in a patch, you expect me to give you $25CDN for extra choices in a tertiary side project game? I'd rather use my google money on removing ads from my puzzle phone game for small wait times like dropping a deuce or waiting for a garbage hearthstone patch to release.
Eat shit Transactivision.
Hoes mad
