I can't put my finger on it, but something seems really off with the demon hunter. She (at least so far dh is a she) almost does not fit in Sanctuary. She uses her crossbows very much like dual pistols, which in a way makes her more a mage than a ranged class. And in the gameplay videos her skills seems off too. For instance, I can see how a bolt has a delayed explosive mechanism thingy, but how can another scorch the earth? Or how can she throw, not one or three, but almost thirty knives in a circle? Split a bolt into hundreds of splinters, etc.
With the other classes skills can be explained, like the barbarian is so freaking strong that he can make the ground shake with a stomp; the witch doctor tosses some kind of extremely explosive potion and germs at (goat) people; the monk does everything really fast; and the wizard is just awesome at magic. They all somewhat agree with the previous games and lore and have reasonable skills.
But what kind of magic do the demon hunters possess? Based on the cinematic trailer she clearly can fire two crossbows without reloading or have some kind of cool reloading device attached to her crossbows, then it must be magic, right? Is she a gunslinger ninja, or a wizard with toys in her hands? Or are the crossbows magical?
I admit though that her throw-grenade-and-cartwheel-outta-there style is cool, unique among the other classes, and those skills do make sense.
