Midnight new Demon Hunter spec reveal
The Demon Hunter Devourer spec was officially revealed in the WoW Midnight gameplay trailer, showcasing a new Void Demon Hunter spec focused on ranged combat, more specifically mid-ranged. This is the first time Demon Hunters step beyond their traditional melee DPS identity.
Alongside the spec reveal, Blizzard confirmed that the Demon Hunter class is expanding to Void Elves, a race introduced in Legion.
Devourer Demon Hunter abilities
Currently we don’t have all abilities list for Devourer Demon Hunter, however here are some abilities:
- Reap – scythe attack that consumes soul fragments.
- Voidblade and Hungering Slash – melee combo with retreat.
- Collapsing Star – powerful burst.
- Void Ray – piercing beam of Void energy (Mimicks Eye Beam).
- Void Metamorphosis – transformation sustained by soul harvesting.
When will new Demon Hunter spec will become available
It’s still unclear when the new Demon Hunter specialization will be playable. Earlier speculation suggested that the Void Demon Hunter might arrive in Patch 11.2.5 or 11.2.7, similar to how Augmentation Evokers were introduced in Patch 10.1.5. However, with the confirmed list of changes for TWW Patch 11.2.5, it now seems unlikely that the new spec will appear that early.
However, now that Blizzard has confirmed the Devourer Demon Hunter as a key feature of the Midnight expansion, it is highly likely that the new DH spec will become available either with the Midnight pre-patch or on the expansion’s launch day.
Blizzard previous Demon Hunter new spec teases
Previously it was speculated that a Midnight Demon Hunter spec could arrive in The War Within, with Blizzard leaning further into Void themes. Clues such as the optional Soul Hunters raid encounter and a datamined Void-themed Metamorphosis icon fueled theories that a new DH spec was in development, potentially tied to Demon Hunter-exclusive content and the expansion’s deepening Void narrative.
At the time, many believed this would manifest as a Void Demon Hunter spec, however we’ve got Demon Hunter Devourer spec with Midnight gameplay reveal. With Demon Hunters stuck at just two specs since Legion, the idea of a Void-themed third spec — especially one complementing Shadow Priest’s ranged fantasy with a fresh spin—seemed increasingly likely leading up to Patch 11.2.
