Demon Hunters a good faction to join?

[hardwiredsin]

I was thinking about joining them, just wondering if they're any good or fun to play?

[pw1108]

They will shave your hair!

[Betelgeuse]

im still in chapter 1 .. dont know whre to go ..

[kagai_yami]

im enjoying playing as a demon hunter. pretty decent spells. ive always enjoyed summoning spells. and love heavy armor. these guys got it all for me.

Did you like the other DemonHunters? when yes, join them ;)
Besides the main magic skill (all the same in the factions, only the looks differ, guardians have three) all other magic skills are buyable at some vendors.

So save the game, buy some runes, go into some fights, use the runes, load
was it fun to play? -> join demon hunters
no? -> go see the other factions

[pw1108]

Heavy armor!
best faction ever!

[karmavirus]

You get the heavist armor, can summon demons to fight for you, heal youself with spells and wear sexy black leather. Oh, and you can blink around the field like Nightcrawler. What's not to love?

If you have no problem with your character almost being bald, then it's a great faction. That's the only possible downside for me.

Good thing he looks good being bald though.

bald seems to superior to the others, though
vodoo pirates gets tattoo in face...looks like bird crap
guardians gets a ocular, looks meeh, hope the eye behind it is still in tact (see mendoza or old hero :P)

btw. vodoo pirates can revieve dead creatures and heal himself with the life force of others

[pw1108]

Poor old hero... but loosing eye make him handsome.

Yes....what is the advantage of a demon hunter when you can use necromancy as a Voodoo pirate and summon many creatures? I suppose you don't need a corpse for a demon hunter...but I feel like there should be some sort of uniqueness to them besides blink. Which in and of itself doesn't matter terribly because the dodge roll functions in the same way giving you invincibility frames anyway.

I havent found any spell from Demonhunters that is comparible to the rain of fire spell you can learn as a Guardian. That rain of fire is pretty powerful and lasts a long time!

Now I know you can get / buy rain of fire and use those individually, I am talking specifically about the spells you can learn from these factions, which makes a big difference as your not consuming items to cast.

demon hunters have:
+20 on each melee skill
healing
faster attacking
+ defense
shockwave (50 damage, 7 radius)
stonefist (60 damage, melee)
summon a hell puppy
summon a shadowwarrior

seems to make a good melee fighter (faster attackin skill make magic faster,too)
-> buffs, summon

vodoo pirates:
transform to parrot
- damage, - armor for enemy
frenzy -> npc attack everyone
50 damage, radius 7 "pestwolke"? (plaguecloud?, sry playing in german)
DoT 5 damage per second
50 damage + healing skill
"send-back-damage-to-attacker"-aura
revieve creature

-> debuff, attacking+utility

guardian:
crystal torch
healing
lockpicking magtic
energywave 50 damage, radius 7 ( same as the other two faction)
60 damage, meelee magic
fire rain 10 damage per second


-> utility, attacking, attacking attacking

you can, at least there are several quest.
first after joining would be the quest to become voodoo master.
first target: pirat, he control you instead and steal voodoo knowledge -> you need to make him shut up the warrior way or in the voodoo way
second target: you will become a gnom ;)
third target: you become a sissy and do some necromancy
