any one else thinking amazon here? usually they are using bows, but the gear set has her using a jav and shield. maybe we'll see some jav/spear skills for the DH to make her have some melee?

I havenīt seen any demon hunter specific jav/spears or melee items yet, which i was a bit disappointed about, since the witch doctor has a high end bow granting him higher % dmg to spells, I would have thought, that blizzard would include something for the DH, but so far they havenīt. It may however come in the future.

They have funny weapons on a bunch of the characters. It's just something that the person who put the skins together chose to put on the character (This is not a blizzard job for these pictures).

The problem is that most of the Demon Hunter skills require a bow to use and apparently you can no longer throw the javelins (at least not in beta). A build using a melee weapon would be very limited on the skills they could use...spike trap, fan of knives, grenades, chakram, and the discipline skills. You could technically do it but you don't really get any sort of benefit from using it versus a ranged weapon.

Which is unfortunate really...DH are the only class that has weapon specific skills if I'm not mistaken...Now that every skill is on weapon damage, a wizard using the highest DPS 2 handed axe in the game is a legitimate option...Same goes for every other class, except DH.

i wonder if there is throwing knives and similar that are applicable to the DH..or even in the game for that matter, i havent seen any javs or actual weapons only abilities that mimic the action.

actually skills like

• Grenades
• Spike trap
• Chakram
• Fan of Knives

make using super high DPS weapons a viable option. also caltrops (crimson rune) and the Sentry gun are not bow reliant.

still hoping to see more skills that can be used with other weapons besides the bow.
