While the new movement tweaks weren't an absolute necessity in the starting area, using them as a complement to the Demon Hunter's combat abilities brought an agile feel hitherto absent from WoW. My Demon Hunter was rarely stationary in combat, and it certainly made fights feel more kinetic. I could use Metamorphosis to transform into a hulking Demon, performing a leap high into the air before slamming into the ground and stunning enemies nearby. The class also allows greater agility in combat-dashing to deal damage to everything in your path with Fel Rush or executing a quick backward leap to avoid timed enemy attacks using Vengeful Retreat. However, jumping and gliding aren’t the only movement-centric tools in the Demon Hunter's arsenal. Save for a few slightly higher ledges and platforms, the familiar geography meant there wasn't much of a need for me to double-jump and glide through the first area. That newfound mobility the Demon Hunter brings to the MMO could be utilized in the class' starting area, but I found that it wasn't an essential to progressing through the questline. Perhaps the most unique trait of the Demon Hunter class is its mobility players can double-jump and glide, slowing falls and gaining a class-exclusive way to mitigate fall damage. The Demon Hunter class is available to both Alliance with Horde factions, visually differentiated by the Night Elf and Blood Elf versions, respectively. With Illidan at the forefront once again in the newest expansion, Legion, I wondered if the links to the Night Elf antihero and introduction of the new Demon Hunter class would be enough to plunge me back into peak World of Warcraft.
Since then, I’ve dabbled irregularly in the massive multiplayer online RPG, returning whenever a new expansion hit but never quite achieving that level of awe and enjoyment I experienced playing The Burning Crusade. I last crossed paths with the Night Elf Demon Hunter during World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade, a time I look upon fondly as the pinnacle of my WoW days. It’s been a long time since Warcraft antihero Illidan Stormrage saw the spotlight.
