Following yesterday’s Barbaric blast, here are all the RoS Datamining: Demon Hunter Skill changes, as datamined from the latest test version of Reaper of Souls.
Demon Hunter Skills
Skills and Rune Effects not listed are unchanged from the previous DMed info from Reaper of Souls, and may be quite different from what you see today in D3V. Refer to the previous Demon Hunter skill DM post for earlier changes. The mandatory disclaimer: these are taken from a work in progress pre-beta version of RoS and things may be quite different in the final game.
New Demon Hunter Skills
One new Demon Hunter skill was added in this patch. It sounds a bit like a DH version of Wrath of the Berserker, and should make happy people like me who have long though the Demon Hunter needed a better burst damage skill for efficient boss disposal. (Except, of course, that we’re Diablo 3 fans and thus can never be made happy.)
Vengeance is Mine
Turn into the physical embodiment of Vengeance for 15 seconds.
Side Guns: Gain 4 additional piercing shots for 100% weapon damage each on every attack. (Previously 2 additional shots to the left and right.)
Homing Rockets: Shoot 4 rockets at nearby enemies for 50% weapon damage each on every attack. (Previously damage was 75%.)
Cooldown: 90 seconds





Shadow Wall was in the previous RoS datamining and was unchanged in this patch. Listed here since it’s new (not found in D3V).
Summon a wall impassable by enemies between two pillars for 6 seconds. Enemies near the pillars are Slowed by 60%.
Cooldown: 10 seconds





Click through for new Demon Hunter passive skills, plus all the other skills with changes. Not as massive an array of buffs as we saw in the first RoS datamining, but there are quite a few skills and rune effects with new damage buffs.
New Demon Hunter Passives
There are two new





Demon Hunter Active Skills
Skills and rune effects not listed did not receive any changes in this patch, but may be quite different from how they are currently in D3V. The Demon Hunter is in line for numerous substantial damage buffs in RoS, and this patch scaled a few of those back, but added and increased many others. Which doesn’t mean the Demon Hunter is a better class on the whole, since other game changes might impact that, but hey… bigger numbers!
