An agile leather-wearing hero class that hunts demons with their own power – the fastest movers in the game, now with a third Void spec in Midnight.

Updated 30 October 2026Checked for patch 12.1.54 sources

Demon Hunters are elves who took demonic power into themselves to fight the Burning Legion. They're the most mobile class in the game, with a double jump, glide and fast dashes, and they see hidden things with Spectral Sight.

Specializations

  • Havoc (melee DPS) – fast, flashy melee with constant movement and big area damage.
  • Vengeance (tank) – a mobile tank that relies on self-healing from consumed souls.
  • Devourer (ranged DPS) – new in Midnight. Devourer uses the power of the Void instead of Fel and fights from mid-range while keeping the class's mobility. It uses Intellect and can choose the new Annihilator hero talent tree (shared with Vengeance) or Void-Scarred (formerly Fel-Scarred).

How it plays

Havoc and Vengeance build and spend Fury. All three specs share the class's signature movement, so Demon Hunters are excellent at dodging danger and getting around the world quickly.

Who it suits

  • Players who love speed and mobility.
  • Anyone who wants a beginner-friendly tank (Vengeance) or a caster that doesn't stand still (Devourer).
  • Midnight also opened the class to Void Elves for the first time.
