How to play Demon Hunter in Diablo Immortal
The gameplay with the demon hunter is kept relatively simple. Although the Demon Hunter is slower than the other classes, they are incredibly good at dishing out DPS while moving. Due to the long range and multishot, which is one of the best AoE skills in the game, you are almost never within reach of your opponents.
