D3 Demon Hunters Conclave

Hmm, haven't posted here for a while.

While a I build up towards a six piece (currently 1 away on the UE set, 2 away on Marauder, 3 away on Nats), I'm running a 3 Marauder (Chest, Gloves, Pants) + 3 UE(Boots, Helm, Shoulders) +RRoG Marauder for the sentries and pets and UE buff.

Since the only quiver I have is the Dead Man Legacy, I'm going to run Ambush to knock enemies down quickly to under 59% at which point the double hit MultiShot can proc.

Let's see how that goes.

That's about what I'm doing, except I'm on only on Mara 4 (my UE/Nats overlap into it). Still trying for that stupid RoRG.

Depending on gear you get:
Mara 6 : Then you also need BombSack, Pride's Fall. Probably want to go cold or physical. Can do without BombSack for a while though
UE 6 : Can stick with Dead Man, not sure what elem guys are going for it. That might influence head/chest/gloves etc replacement
Nats 6 : Seems weaker than the other two sets, not sure if its worth doing

In general (on Mara CA) the dps skills are Steady Aim > Ambush > Archery. If you're using rockets on everything then go rockets skill, it outperforms those 3. If using polar sentries and BoT then Cull > all those.
 
Isn't RNG a bastard - in all my hours of D3, I have not once picked up a Calamity - not once :mad:

It irks the completionist side of me no end

Maybe now that we have a higher shard cap I can gamble for one eventually.

I mean I picked up a WoH and a couple of Furnaces in the previous season :mad:

You end up not using it anyway so dont stress. 2H just hit harder simple as that
 
I have an amazingly rolled ancient calamity on non-season, and my Arcane Barb laughs at it. 1h weapons are just solidly not worth it at all.

What I am currently aiming for on my DH:

  • Already have my 6-piece UE, with +discipline on my cloak, bow, quiver and my Manald Heal ring.
  • Focus and Restraint (I did a quick calc and it does about 75% more damage than a Manald Heal + RoRG + Cinder Coat combo)
  • Ice Blink gem at lvl25, used with Evasive Fire - Focus to apply the slow effect and give me another +10% CHC. This allows me to replace Sentry - Polar Station with Companion - Wolf.
  • BoT and Zei's, obviously. Zei's is better now than with M6, since you're the source of damage and can more easily control your firing distance
  • I already have a Dead Man's Legacy, just need to reroll some stupid stat to +MS damage.
  • Arcane Barb, if I can get the plan to drop.
My skills are:
  • Evasive Fire - Focus
  • Multishot - Arsenal
  • Vault - Tumble (hesitant to use, as this nerfs your dmg if you run out of Disc)
  • Preparation - Punishment
  • Marked for Death - Contagion (might consider Mortal Enemy if Hatred is a problem)
  • Companion - Wolf (Bat could be used if Hatred is a problem)

I've seen something on a Hungering Arrow UE build, but will attempt that later.
 
Sounds good. I'll probably try the same, except for trying both MfD/Vengeance. Sentry isn't worth it without the Mara set bonuses (or
works that well with MS). Not sure about Wolf vs Bat/vs one of MfD/Vengeance, but I'll try them all.

Rings I'll also try Zodiac CDR (and some more CDR on items than I had for Mara)

Higher up we need some evasion and Vault is king hehe. Just don't spam out of it :)

I'm not sure about Evasive Focus/BoT by themselves (even with the new gem). I'm not sure it'll apply enough to make it worth it. Maybe with the new gem, and then maybe I can see how the HA build could also work.

Adding the CDR ring, some CDR, Prep+Bat+Vengeange/Seethe and you might be able to get rid of Evasive Fire.

Still lots to play with hehe.
 
I went through some upgrades last night.

I started very slowly on Mara 4, then upgraded to
Mara 6 ->
Mara 5 + RoRG + Pride ->
UE 5 + RoRG + Pride ->
UE 6 + SoJ + Focus ->
UE 6 + Focus/Restraint

UE + F/R is awesome. My biggest gripe with Sentries is all the muck with having to place them and waiting for your damage to scale up, but now I can just run in and shoot.

I know what you mean! Also got my FnR (or should we refer to it as BoW?) last night, and proceeded to SMASH a T6 rift in less than 3min. Things just die all over the place. I'm quite keen to see how high a GR I can achieve currently, even with my piece of crap bow.

Still running a combo Mara/UE - aiming for UE 6 - need torso and pants - have socketed Focus and Restraint sitting and waiting in stash.

Going to Rama that Ravenwing I got from Marmite (got to run a two hander) , then re-roll the damage probably - need to check the calculator first though

If I were you and I only had 1 gift, I'd wait until I get the Arcane Barb plan, craft a good ancient one and use my gift on that. If you have more than one gift, go ahead.
 
Why do all the DH's in my party always run full speed ahead then die horribly?

I have 2 - and I need to be able to farm T6 and decent GRs - don't have as much time this season as I did the last

Decided to roll the stat first then apply Rama and I got a socket - :D

So, I'm giving up the 10% damage boost (don't have souls for multiple tries anyway ;) ) and just running with it as a minor upgrade.

On a side note, I picked up a Witching Hour while levelling (Lvl 61) which is still better than any other belt I've picked up since.
 
I was on a Cord of Sherma, worked very well with MS, but tonight I got a decent normal WH, it remains the best.

Last season 1 WH dropped for me . Crappy stats. OokSA gave me one.
Current season have not seen one.
 
Hehe, that sounds like most of my UE set. I have all the pieces but probably 5/6 of them are crappy rolls.

But we still have ages to get upgrades and at least as soon as you get UE5+RoRG you can farm T6 pretty easily.
