The Demon Hunter class is available to both Alliance with Horde factions, visually differentiated by the Night Elf and Blood Elf versions, respectively. With Illidan at the forefront once again in the newest expansion, Legion, I wondered if the links to the Night Elf antihero and introduction of the new Demon Hunter class would be enough to plunge me back into peak World of Warcraft.
Since then, I’ve dabbled irregularly in the massive multiplayer online RPG, returning whenever a new expansion hit but never quite achieving that level of awe and enjoyment I experienced playing The Burning Crusade. I last crossed paths with the Night Elf Demon Hunter during World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade, a time I look upon fondly as the pinnacle of my WoW days. It’s been a long time since Warcraft antihero Illidan Stormrage saw the spotlight.
