BASHIOK! Quick question about the new class
      

  The demon hunter isn't restricted to ranged weapons but is of course the core archetype of the class. It's a bit early for determining usable weapons still, but I know at the least one-handers/shields are planned to be usable. And it's likely there will at least be some traits that improve melee weapon use.

Ja, det havde jeg nu også forventet.

Ja, ved jo aldrig hvornår man ender i nærkamp...
