- Buffs to the primary skills to compete with Hungering arrows
- "We're taking a look at Hatred Generators and Spenders, as well as some of the demon hunter's more iconic abilities like Rain of Vengeance and Sentry, and will be upping the damage on all of them."
- "Sentry is also a very distinctive spell that doesn't get used very often. It's interesting mechanically, and it has some nice potential for team play, so we'd like to make it more attractive. The solution was pretty simple for this one: we took its damage, and then we doubled it."

- Pet survivability - Yay!
- Vision Quest design flaws - Some people will be mad
- Splinters and Zombie Bears are way more appealing than most other skills - Buffs to a variety of skills

I saw these updates popping up quite quickly last night. Must mean they're launching the patch soon.
The buff to Rain of Vengeance seems significant for DH. 75% to 715%? That's nearly 10x the amount of damage!
Also, I never actually used Vision Quest, so the nerf doesn't even affect me. The over 100% regeneration rate most certainly will though! For me that just means more zombears!
Edit: As for Sentry, is doubling its damage going to make it any more viable? I just looked it up and it only currently does 20% weapon damage. Is 40% really that much more significant?
