You want to be sad use hammer or staff.... Swords put out decent damage and have a tad bit of utility. Hammer and staff have more utility I suppose but the damage is just trash. Staff only gets used because break bars. Hammer gets used because a ranged weapon can be useful in certain situations. Now we have short bow though which is just better then hammer, even if you are using power. The condi weapon is a better power weapon than the power weapon. Now that is sad.

2002 would be correct technically but if we are using that then we could go further back in time to anything that is remotely similar to both classes. These are far from the first archetypes using the idea. If we are going to legitimately compare the two then it is only really worth comparing the WoW class available to players to Revenant.

"adds a layer to an otherwise luke-warm clone of the WoW demon-hunter from aesthetic down to move-set. "

Heart of Thorns and Revenant came out before Demon Hunter, therefore Demon Hunter is the luke-warm clone :p
