No worries bro...I can give you the plans later today when I get online -- Just send me your battletag :D
Also guys, I wanted to see what you other DHs have found to be the most effective route to take for Demonic Essences FOR DEMON HUNTERS -- SOLO per min/hour -- I have been farming these and I am happy with what I seem to be getting. However, I would like to truly test this out and record the Numbers and Time. Any other DHs out there wanna help me test it out? Suggest Routes? Skill specs? I will focus on comparing my route vs VOTA runs in mp1-3 along with my favorite skill spec, Strafe.
I can kill most elite packs by placing 5 traps from full hatred on MP4 with this build:
http://eu.battle.net/d3/en/calculator/demon-hunter#aidgQh!ZUb!cabYaZThat is about 1 Shadow Power if I need to use that.
(I take down extra health yellow mobs to ~25% health with 5 traps)
I can easily kill elite packs in MP5-6 with this build but killing trash mobs is too slow. (I haven't found a good Elemental Arrow quiver for cheap yet and max 14% bonus is not that good like 50% Weapon Throw on 300th spear for barbs)
I farm skycrown+keeps 2-3 or BCM+VotA+Alcarnus when I want to get DE. (there are too many fleeing enemies in rakkis and crater 2 for spike traps, it takes ages to kill those birds or fat mages on higher MP)
Or same build with Cluster Arrow - Loaded for Bear and grenadier passive on MP1 (crater2+keeps 2-3+rakkis backwards to previous wp) for 2-4 shotting elite packs when I want to maximize xp/h instead of DE/h (I'm paragon 97)
The build is explained in the guide in my sig.
