Old but bumping.

Hum…i would be against mainhand pistol, instead, i would rework axe for better range option. Pistol would be a great offhand, together with torch for a Witch Hunter concept, warhammer style.

Most “Witch” hunters are actually supernatural hunters, they’re normally dedicated to hunt most of the “dark” creatures, like witches, werewolves, vampires and such. As such, they keep an array of equipment for every situation. A pistol would be a great offhand to trust when in a pinch, and the best mainhand for such spec would be the trusty and always good, Sword.

Axe rework is highly unlikely.
Elite specialization usually unlocks 1 new weapon option, so i went with pistol main-hand. While pistol off-hand might sound more appealing to some, but then main-hand would be left with poor options.

And about the theme. I do know what witch hunter theme is all about and range weapons fits this class more than melee weapons. Explosives, smoke bombs, zip lines, traps and so on. Witch hunters need to be agile and avoid frontal confrontation, so range weapons fits the best.

Not…exactly. Pistols and Blunderbusses are more of situational/support weapons for the WH, since they’re harder to use, take a lot of aiming and forethought to deploy, and are extremely noisy, to which may screw up a more silent operation. Witch Hunters are cunning, but their range is maleable.

Main hand sword would be way better, for a sword is a trusty weapon to cut zombies, vampires, werewolves and such, alike. A WH skills would be more based on going in for a kill after wearing down his opponent, with traps, and maybe a offhand pistol with a relatively spammable attack on it’s #4. But a mainhand pistol makes the WH a weak CQC fighter, which he CANNOT be under any circumstances, since most of his enemies will meet him in such grounds and are not enemies to be stopped just with peashots.

Mainhand Mace.

Get Skin that looks like Hammer
Off Hand Focus, get a Skin that looks like a Stake or Nail

That would be a vampire hunter

Really like your elite ideas, really interesting concepts. Have you ever made/thought of an e-spec that focuses on minons? (sorry for breaking topic)
What I first fell for in necros was the minions and the thought of having this little unstoppable army, and I would absolutely love an e-spec that give the minions some more love – and maybe some new minions like the Aatxe (they look so freaking awesome), and if you have/will make one I would love to read it.

Yeah, i was thinking about better version of minion master for necro as an elite spec. I will let you know if i manage to form anything.

Edit: just done one.
