Demon Hunters start off at level 98; unlocking the option to create one requires an existing level 70 character on that server.

Demon Hunters primarily use Warglaives, but can also equip daggers, fist weapons, 1H Swords, and Axes. Glaives, axes, and swords can be transmogged onto each other.

Demon Hunters aim for leather agility armor and we've made a guide to easy level 100 items to equip. Don't forget gear from Mark of Honor and heirloom trinkets like Infallible Tracking Charm.

Demon Hunters can only be Night Elves or Blood Elves. They have additional customization options: horns, blindfolds, tattoos, new skin tones, new hair colors.

Demon Hunters have a unique starting zone. In questing through the starting experience, you will acquire the Felsaber mount, the title, two unique transmog appearances per faction (Illidari Alliance, Torment Alliance, Illidari Horde, Torment Horde), choose a specialization, and unlock two talents. Learn about each quest, the rewards, and rares/treasures that reward useful items like Inquisitor's Menacing Eye in the Demon Hunter Starting Zone Guide.

Several signature abilities include Double Jump which paired with Glide allow you to reach hidden areas. You even sprout wings when you Glide. Another fun flavor ability is Spectral Sight which allows you to see all enemies and treasures through barriers.

Demon Hunters will have access to a Garrison, however they will have to unlock and upgrade it from scratch. Not sure what to do? We have a guide to questing for the Level 1 and 2 Garrison.
