“Obsessed” ranger with gadgets and magic.
Blizzard has explained that the Demon Hunter – the fifth and final Diablo III player class to be revealed – is a ranged weapon user with a penchant for gadgets, traps and shadow magic, and a revenge-fuelled obsession with killing demons.
The class was detailed in a panel presentation following the Demon Hunter’s unveiling at BlizzCon’s opening ceremony.
Game director Jay Wilson said that the Demon Hunter is a “very dark character, almost an anti-hero” that fits the Diablo universe, completes the line-up of archetypes as a conventional ranged weapon user, and has a “bounty hunter vibe”.
