Tank Demon Hunter

The main advantage of the tank demon hunter is that you are attacking the entire time during battle. You're not kiting through door ways or needing to use the higher grounds to trap elites. This build is great for solo inferno or being the team tank.

My Stats:

55kLife
Lowest Res 630
1264 Vita
1344 Dex
4167 Armor
1700 Damage return
18% Critical hit chance
109% Critical hit damage
4.3% Freeze on hit
3.8% Stun on hit

2.03 Attacks per second.
19,342 Dps

How this build works:

This build is built around Life on hit. Gas gernades hit up to 3 times per attack so you can gain massive ammounts of life per attack. Gas gernades, caltrops, sentry, and chakram all proc life on hit. 19k dps may not sound like alot of damage but all of the skills do area of effect damage.

Yeah Dh tank is the way to go, although I use a slightly different build, especially for a3 farming.

vouch this build. the dps doesn't sound like a lot, but it packs a punch with the skills.

just seems too slow to kill elites. I get instantly owned by ponies too. But i'm not using shield i use 2 1 hander is shield a necessity.

Seems like a very nice build

This, mostly with the freeze / stun ... makes it amazing for dps whores to walk behind and tear things up

sucks vs ranged mobs imo, hungering arrow is a must
also ss as anti freeze/jailer and gloom most of the time
but i used nat set so i had enough disc for that

that's a different build. did you watch the video? smoke screen isn't needed at all.

what's so different about it then?
i use hungering arrow and ss instead of his scatter and knives
smoke screen not needed until you run into fast frozen packs

he leeches even while frozen. fast runners are annoying for any character, regardless of build. the build is surrounded about procing life on hit a lot. you can see 20,000 green numbers pop up on the screen, which is due to everything procing LoH.
