Creating a Demon Hunter[edit]
Demon hunters, disciples of Illidan Stormrage, uphold a dark legacy, one that frightens their allies and enemies alike. The Illidari embrace fel and chaotic magics—energies that have long threatened the world of Azeroth—believing them necessary to challenge their greatest foes. Wielding the powers of demons they’ve slain, they develop demonic features that incite revulsion and dread in both their allies and their enemies. Dexterous and deadly, the demon hunter turns the twisted power of the Abyss against it. Drawing on fel forces to fuel their attacks, Demon Hunters pursue their prey with uncanny agility, dodging away from danger and closing on enemies in the blink of an eye. Whether wielding their powers for good or evil, these deadly warriors are forces to be reckoned with.
