Revision as of 04:47, 31 August 2011
Hatred and Discipline are the Demon Hunter's twin-resources. The system works very much as it was described in a series of interviews in February 2011[1]. Generally speaking, the action/combat skills expend Hatred, which recharges quickly, while the tactical/movement/support skills expends Discipline, which recharges slowly.
A wise Demon Hunter uses a mixture of skills, spamming attacks that use Hatred and supplementing that with more powerful, strategic attacks fueled by Discipline.[2]
See the Demon Hunter skills page for specific details on which skills use Hatred and which use Discipline.
Developer Quotes
The basic system was first described in February 2011 during interviews with Christian Lichtner and Jason Bender.[3]
More details came in an interview with Gamespot.[4]
...we want the demon hunter to have some highly regenerative, more accessible hatred abilities that he always has up and can use to zip around and keep the pace [of combat] up. But then the discipline side tends to be a more precious resource that you have to manage a lot more carefully. You really pick and choose when you want to use your discipline abilities because they make a big difference in how you escape, how you set up an attack…things like that.
Some abilities use hatred; some use discipline. That’s where we’re at in development. But we want to make sure you’re bouncing back and forth between the two without having to switch a stance or anything cumbersome like that. So you’ll have abilities from both camps accessible at all times, depending on how you build your character. Some demon hunters may focus on hatred, with lots of shooting and moving around, and try to amp up that ability as much as possible, while some may focus on discipline instead. [Either way], the default path is going to be a little of both.
