Or, more properly, Huntress. Now you\u2019re interested.<\/p>\n<p>She\u2019s a sort of combo ranged rogue-spellcaster, and \u2013 of course &#8211; she\u2019s packing dual-crossbows. Because two crossbows is better than one crossbow. No confirmation yet whether she gets an upgrade to shoot more crossbows from each crossbow, although that would obviously be all kinds of awesome. The Demon Hunter joins the Barbarian, Monk, Wizard, and Witch Doctor on Diablo III\u2019s hero roster.<\/p>\n<p>Game director Jay Wilson announced that the game will go into a beta before release, but did not announce when either of those things would actually happen, although he did announce that the game was \u201cway over half-way\u201d finished, as part of Blizzard\u2019s company policy to announce and not announce announcements to maintain maximum hype. And before you make a mess all over your keyboard, it\u2019s going to be a closed beta, until they announce otherwise.<\/p>\n<p>Wilson also confirmed there won\u2019t be any official mod support when the game launches, which may or may not have anything to do with Blizzard suing StarCraft 2 modders, but probably does. So sorry, you\u2019ll have to actually find all those set pieces this time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Stay a while and&#8230; slay demons<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":161,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_sma_x_autopost_status":"idle","_sma_x_autopost_error":"","_sma_x_post_id":"","_sma_x_attempts":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-8169","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-pc"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8169","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/161"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=8169"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8169\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8169"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=8169"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=8169"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
