Hello this is a diverse build from the other ele arrow or impale demon hunter builds.
This build is extremely gear dependent. How ever with kiting and good dodging skills can be made useful.
Note- All stats and items in account are taken in priority before nats BUG, if blizzard does not nerf natalyas mark then i would suggest going for all 4 pieces however if you cant play with out all 4 pieces then DH is not for you.

First will start with primary statistics to be used starting with priority stats first.
1. First priority for making a hard hitting DH is going to be critical chance also allows us to not use sharpshooter anymore (it only took an ias nerf for people to realize crit chance is amazing)
2. Critical hit damage- why have crit chance if no critical hit damage.
3. Ias- still a highly useful stat especially for hatred regen on this build.
4. Max Discipline- All our defensive skills use discipline so why not have more.
5. Dexterity- Extra % damage, dodge easily on every item.
6 and 7 Vitality and Res, you need a bit of survivability in the build.

Realistic stats required
1800+ dex
33%+ crit chance
200+ crit damage
65k+ dps w/o sharpshooter
38 discipline is 3 smoke screens in a row
35k+ life
150-400 all res (not the most important)

Skills
http://us.battle.net/d3/en/calculator/demon-hunter#aPXVUY!Yge!YYZcaZ
Hungering arrow/Devouring or with Shatter- For good single target long range dps also stragglers .
Cluster Arrow with Cluster bomb- with a little bit of aim and luck this is the highest damage per shot skill in the game (can be replaced with loaded for bear if having a hard time aiming)
Grenades with tinkerer- 6 to hatred per shot (8 hatred per shot when grenadier passive is in account) 95% dmg to each grenade with aoe dmg just extremely hard to aim (this is meant for quick hatred regen)
Smoke screen w/ lingering fog- people now are making claims on how shadow power is better, yet with shadow power you still can get hit and a mob of elites will still 1 hit you.
Prep with back up plan- i choose back up plan over invigoration due to personal preference.
Caltrops w/ Torturous ground- immobilize for 2 seconds fire off some cluster bombs rinse and repeat

For reflect dmg mobs Caltrops fire off as many clusters as you can and smoke screen 4-5 cluster bombs should take an enitre elite pack down.

Items
Helms-
Andarials with Dex life and crit chance with ias still on there is the choice for dhs
alt- Appropriate rare with Crit chance dex life

Body armor
Natalyas soul With Dex Life 3 soc max disc
Alt Beckons/ appropriate rares

Rings
Rare with Crit damage/ Crit chance
Natalyas w/ dex vit crit dmg (can use a cheap one seeing as 2 set gives 7% crit chance)

Weapon this is the key to the build.

for 1 xbows get same thing but try and get disc on at least 1 but i prefer 2 hand over 1 hand xbow.

Hmm could you poast a video of how you do A3/4 so that one can see how this build is played?

Nice gear btw

yeah ill try and get a video up soon

with that much dps u should have just gone ball lightning + devouring and the occasional cluster bomb vs bosses. gloom instead of caltrops (who needs caltrops when u can just tank mobs and heal back everything since ball lightning AoE is amazing)

ball lightning clears mobs so much faster and regens disc like crazy with night stalker too

ps, we have pretty much all same stats cept i have 400res all and 5k life and +crit damage than u

same crit% and attack speed everything practically

ball lightning pisses me off, yeah its faster aoe, like in the video im about to post you can see my aoe sucks, but its time for a non cc build...

and i wanted another build that every person isnt using which seems to be ball light gloom and nightstalker and impale.


Quick test run sorry about video size just full screen it, and as you can see i was lagging from recording it, also was getting frustrated with the waller..

what passive skills r u using?

Clutch survivor in the beginning. Looks like an interesting build.

oh i forgot the passives i thought i edited it

with this build its
steady aim for hungering arrow
grenadier for hatred regen on grenades and 10 less hatred on cluster arrow
and archery for obvious reasons

With these stats, you can use whatever skills you want, it will work.

Grenades are funny, but range is pretty low :-/
Would be great if we were able to aim where they land
