Resource system for DH?

[:1]Does anyone know what it's called or how it works?|||We know nothing. In the demo she used infinite mana for a placeholder.|||I'm hoping for a Vengeance theme.|||it was non-infinite mana in the demo. Ran out quite quickly, with sustained bow firing action. I find this an interesting topic, but I don't have much to add to the big thread I made about this prior to the launch.

I'll give some thought to how her resource maybe should work, now that I've played an hour of the char, though.|||That would have been a good question to ask at the Q&A panel ...

But i guess they didn't have time to think of something yet|||Quote:

I was thinking vengeance or hatred. maybe builds as you do damage but drains as you're hit, encouraging a hit and run guerilla style. I think that would play up the ranged, planning aspect.

something that builds as you kill would be interesting, but that doesnt work well with mixed crowds. youd always have to kill weenies to keep your vengeance up, and would be bad at boss killing and such|||In the cinematic trailer, the Demon Hunter picked up a demon's tooth and fashioned it into an arrow. Perhaps most monsters will drop body parts that she can pick up as her only means to regenerate her mana-equivalent? It achieves Blizzard's aims to keep the pace up by minimising regeneration time and/or provides a challenge to the player to keep moving around during combat to pick up monster parts (each only worth a small amount of points) to recharge. In addition, it also adds to the the whole bounty hunter feel.|||Quote:

Seems like it would completely lock out melee builds. I know it's a ranged class, but a Barbarian can pick up a bow and basically dick around that way, why can't DH do the converse?|||Quote:

well she should be able to, but with the same reduced efficiency the barb suffers when he goes ranged

maybe give her traits specifically for melee specs.---decreases vengeance drained when hit by 10/15/20/25/30% if wielding a melee weapon

or increases vengeance gained by damage dealing, or a temporary evasion buff for melee specs only. there are a lot of ways you could make it work :P it all depends on the numbers|||Since she's a demon hunter, and she's somewhat part demon, she will have a demon type resource. Not sure what kind of spiffy name you can make..
