We now have information on today's Demon Hunter nerfs. They are working on getting the update out. Read on for all the details.
Quote From Kerfluffle Hey everyone,
Over the next couple of weeks, we’ll be keeping an eye on the power level of Demon Hunter. Our goal is to make changes when necessary in order to get Demon Hunter to where we believe it should be. Today, we’ll be applying the following balance updates to a few Demon Hunter cards in a server-side patch (meaning you won’t have to download anything):
- Skull of Gul’dan – Mana cost increased from 5 to 6.
- Imprisoned Antaen – Mana cost increased from 5 to 6.
- Eye Beam – Outcast Mana cost increased from 0 to 1.
- Aldrachi Warblades – Durability decreased from 3 to 2.
We wanted to get these changes out the door today, and in doing so you will only see the new stats for these cards—displayed in both red and green—in matches, not in your Collection. The red and green numbers will return to white and the cards will be updated in your Collection with a data-only patch that we’re expecting to deploy before the end of the day tomorrow.
For Arena, we’re making changes today that will see Demon Hunter class card offering rates decreased until we’re able to properly address the class with more accurate micro-adjustments in a future patch. The following cards have had their offering rates reduced in Arena:
- Chaos Nova
- Coilfang Warlord
- Command the Illidari
- Flamereaper
- Furious Felfin
- Glaivebound Adept
- Illidari Felblade
- Immolation Aura
- Metamorphosis
- Netherwalker
- Nethrandamus
- Priestess of Fury
- Skull of Gul’dan
- Twin Slice
- Umberwing

This, at least will be the one thing Im fully confident have been thought about thoroughly.
Day 1 nerfs seem to me like a major ''Oopsy'' ... as if no one could have predict it during the playtest/balancing phase of development
No word on when it's going live?
Already LIVE on NA
It's a good thing that this is intended to happen over a period of a couple weeks, because I can't see these changes doing much to impact DH's power level...
isn't going to be enough
Great start! Keeping going though....I suspect this isn't going to be enough.
And I pressed the button XD, too bad...
SAME.
Ah well whatever
Not nearly enough, they are still 3/4 of ladder and still disgustingly overpowered.
