A new hero class will be introduced and playable in the new World of Warcraft: Legion expansion. The Demon Hunter is based around the Burning Crusade villain called: Illidan. The developers at the Gamescom 2015 event had said Demon Hunters, as a Hero Class, will get a unique starting experience that is similar to what Death Knight players experience. As we play through the introduction it will show us, "the story of the Demon Hunter and the Illidari, through the eyes of Illidan." When beginning a new Demon Hunter character, players will actually play through flashbacks going back to the World of Warcraft: Burning Crusade expansion.

What is a Demon Hunter?

Demon Hunters are elves that are obssessed with fighting against the Burning Legion to the point of infusing themselves with demonic essence to fight the Legion with its own evil. They are known to blind themselves to bind their souls to a demonic essence which grants them a special type of vision that dulls everything but demonic energy. As Demon Hunters further their training their physical appearances becomes aggressively alike a demon with corrupted horns, scars, claws, and even demon wings. They are the hunters not the prey.

Dominate your foes as a Demon Hunter, an elven outcast shunned for daring to wield the terrible powers of the Legion. Exhibiting superior mobility and a preternatural sense of awareness, Demon Hunters can tap into forbidden powers at times of dire need, metamorphosing into terrifying fel forms. Focus on Havoc to demolish any who stand in your way with fiery demonic attacks, or specialize in Vengeance and go toe to toe with even the most powerful demons, withstanding massive punishment as their attacks fuel your hatred. - Quoted from the official Legion website.
