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:

You will not be missed,take the other "dedicated players" with you as well. :P
Srsly tho everyone above 7IQ expected this,you apparently didn't?
By dropped the ball you mean nerfed the cards immediately?
Other than Skull needed 2 reduction instead of 1 mana, it looks ... like a start. A good start, and shaman took two nerfs as well.
Something is weird - I see both rares have Full Dust option. Due no dups - if I now DE both rares (each x2 obv), will I get them in next 4 packs?
Can't edit for some reason - the weird thing is the costs still show the original ones, but full dust offered.
not live on EU yet
Nope....
No, still not live
It's live. Just played a game and had no idea any nerfs were coming so was confused (and happy) to see the mana cost in red. And yeah, he played two of them and I actually won because Antaen came out one turn too late. Good start. Now we just need a Priestess nerf.
so it is live, it's just not showing in intro screen and in your collection
Now it's live
he is still too strong - it feels like playing against some adventure boss on heroic.
lol great job testing shit blizzard
Deleted.
Am i wrong or you wouldn't be guaranteed to find them again? Technically it counts as if you already have owned them even if you disenchant them so you would have to collect all the rares you miss and then hope to get those
Dezenchanting them counts as opened. That's why I deleted the message ASAP.
Well i must command blizzard, they have never ever acted so quickly when smg was so obviously broken. However, i dont think they have adressed any of the actually broken cards DH has. It's a start though. In arena it was jus straight up unfair.
It's entirely too strong and somehow needs like 5 more nerfs. Its absolute dominance of standard, wild, and ladder to the detriment of every other class is truly unbelievable. The devs dropped the ball so hard. If they tested it even for 1 game, they would've seen.
Verdade !!!!
I didn't even know about the nerfs, but I won anyway against Priest. Feels good man. XD
The nerfs were needed, but totally caught me off guard. I thought my opponent cheated or something, when I top decked my eyebeam and it was 1 mana and my warblades just vanished after 2 attacks. XD
Oh gee golly you lost a single game because you were abusing a broken Class
Why does this article say the change is live now? It's said that for at least a couple hours now, and I don't see any change. I've even restarted my client a few times. I know it'll go live soon, but seems strange to say the change is live when it's not.
