With World of Warcraft: Legion, we can expect a new hero class. In an interview with the developers, new details came to light.
Glaives – only for Demon Hunters
Unlike what is currently stated on the official website, Demon Hunters will only be able to wield a single type of weapon, which is glaives. Glaives are exclusively designed for the new hero class and come in pairs – it is therefore only one item that serves as both main hand and off hand. In future expansions, it might be reconsidered whether Demon Hunters can also wield other agility weapons, such as daggers or swords, but for now, this decision is satisfactory. The developers see absolutely no issue in the reduction to a single weapon type, as in “Legion” one is solely focused on their artifact weapon.
Another new leather class
Moreover, Demon Hunters will rely on leather. In theory, they compete here with some other classes, but Blizzard sees no difficulty in this either. In the recent expansions, they have increased the emphasis on the personal loot system, leading to a significant reduction in disputes and disagreements over loot distribution.
As Blizzard also stated, there are no space issues: With Legion, a twelfth character slot will be available for every player.
