My demon hunter just dinged 60 after 14 hours of farming, but now I am stuck with what to do now. I have checked a few guides, and as far as I have understood low mp farming is for the best. I can spent around 5 to 10 million on my build. What do you guys suggest?

edit: I am also new to this patch. Should I just craft my gear? If so where should I search for the recipes?

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!cabYaZ
That 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.

Any numbers? Do you have a stream I can watch where you do this? Video?
Whats your XP/Hour? Do you use Leorics/Hellfire?
DE's per Hour?

Do people not use windforce anymore? I really like mine, and I spent a lousy 2mil on it.

HF on me+templar (+puzzle ring on templar, that goblin can drop DE too)
MP1: 53.5M xp/h
MP2: 52.4M xp/h (with same build and route as MP1)
on MP4 I don't really know, but I had ~47M xp/h with the same run as MP1 (I had some luck with the enemy movement, so it didn't take that long to kill elites as it could have in the worst case but I died to a fallen maniac because I was a little tired), I haven't measured the modified route and haven't tried to optimize it. (You have to know the elite spots in Skycrown to not skip them by accident)
I think strafe might be faster xp/h but I don't like that build

I haven't measured elites/h or DE/h because it's more random than xp/h
I'm leveling up a DH on US (just having some fun with a friend) and will try to do a video when I finished leveling (with the gear I can get from the gold I collect while playing through norm-hell) but streaming drops my fps real hard, so I only did it a few times.

Thanks a lot for the info man -- I will test your route with my set up. I think strafe is faster but its also about how much fun you have doing this so if you don't find it enjoyable then fuck it right?

Anyway, I think your build is interesting and unconventional I will test it out as well and see if there are any tweaks I can come up with. Of course I am legacy DH so I can probably manage certain things differently.

Although, I believe that a grenadier build with spike traps would work best with a high attack speed weapon eg. Calamity/WF.

That's would be cool but I am playing on eu servers :/ In any case my battletag is: Bishibosh #2905 And also any suggestions for a newly dinged dh is welcome
