D3 Demon Hunters Conclave

My lag on the PC is more or less unplayable at the moment. Must be packet loss due to the congested exchange.

Played on the PS4 for most of the weekend and it was much more fun. The only downside is that I don't have any of the nice toys my PC chars have. Did manage to go from T2 to T6 after getting a full Marauder set. Got some nice ancients - ancient Marauder gloves, ancient Pride's Fall, a nice ancient Dead Man's Legacy which I had to swap for a Bombadiers. Crafted a decent Hallowed condemnation with 3200 dmg. For hatred regen I prefer a 1h. But don't have enough mats to try for an ancient Arcane Bolt to see how it compares. Those Ramaladinding gifts seem to be the toughest to find. Only got the one that I used on the Hallowed Codemnation.

Strangely I got some of the rare items pretty quickly too. Last drop was a Calamity (a normal one) and I've already gotten a Frostburn and 2 x Witching Hours.

On consoles the sentry placement is a bit different, but cold definitely seems the way to go. I'm using evasive fire, CA Maelstrom and Spitfire sentries. Seems to work very well. Only need to find a Krider now.

Did some GR and the highest one I seem to be able to manage with the newly minted DH is 35. Not bad at all considering that's without a Unity, SoJ or a decent amulet and only using Enforcer and Zei at lvl 25.

Rucksack with Hatred generator is that viable.
How high can you go never locked.

Do you mean Bombardier's Rucksack with a Hatred generator or the Quiver that turns Chakrams into a generator? (Spines of Seething Hatred)

Swap Spitfire to Polar Station if possible

On PS4 you can't put the sentries where you want. It basically drops at your feet, so polar station wouldn't be all that useful unless the mobs decide to walk into range or you are mobbed by them.

Ow, that's unfortunate :( You'd have to drop and kite them into it... Spitfire at least spawns rockets to help the Ballistics passive :p

@HowTo, there's big debates ongoing at the moment over having Chakram as a generator or gaining +200% damage from the 2 bonus sentries gained from Bombardiers.

In a normal rift u dont need 5sentries, things are dead long before that. In a Grift yes, maybe. I am finding a lot of DH's with chakram quivers, the amount of clutter on screen is RIDICULOUS
 
@AfricanTech

Think used my Wiz Cindercoat.

They also don't drop as they used to. Some come with socket max 2 sockets only and some none.

But my None Season one has Sentry damage. By next month all char are the same.

I still don't know if i will be playing Seasons again. 3 new gems and little changes. Going through all the agony again the upping your paragons do a descend level.

Then I cleared my stash long before all this DH saga started to make place for the new Season 1 and Non Season stash melts together.

My bad, I should have added that my response was based off Grift progression. You are 100% correct

Normal T6 is where builds are tested :)

Can you guys link your toons?

animal, I was intrigued by the passives you're running (not awareness and cull of course - those two are de rigueur)

Umm, Battle.net is blocked at work, but try this
 
Quick Question

Need to get some sens Cindercoat with 25% resources cost of Fire Skills.

Cluster Arrow cost 40 Hatred default no buff's.

Doing a Cluster Arrow- Malstrom (Cold). Do i still get the 25% cost reduction. If yes Cost is now 30 Hatred spend when once fired due to 25% cost reduction.

The other factor it turns Fire---> Cold damage not fire anymore. If i read the wording correct. Will i still get those cost reduction.

No, if you run the Loaded for Bear (fire skill) rune on Cluster Arrow, you would receive the -25% resource cost

For a cold build, Pride's Fall (cache drop from Act 3 bounties) is best for reducing resource cost, with some players running Frostburn gloves for additional Cold damage

Using cindercoat which DH skill can i get 25% fire cost reduction.

Example:
Cluster Arrow (Fire) cost 40 hatred. Cluster arrow without any skill rune selected is fire damage?
