Hi guys,
I’d like to start a new character in Dawn of the Hunt. In the Standard League I played as a monk – which character would you recommend this time?

Thanks!

If you havent played lightning spear yet I'd do so while it exists in its current form before getting nerfed with 0.3 (to whatever degree).
For single targets (bosses) go for wind serpent fury.

Class/ascendency wise you can go huntress/amazon or ranger/deadeye and while amazon os definitely good aswell a deadeye is just superior. Well deadeye is just one of the best ascendencies in the game, if not THE best ascendency.

In DotH I played amazon LS first and then switched over to deadeye LS and it was a blast. Depending on the nerfs and if it remains playable I'd actually play LS/WSF deadeye in 0.3 again.

starting my league now as deadeye ls, will see how it is going as league starter with no gear at all

nice! do you guys suggest to wait the new league 29 of august?

I wouldn't. LS is definitely going to get changed and even deadeye might get a slight nerf (hopefully not but it's simply far ahead of most other ascendencies).
Enjoy it to its fullest while you still can.



If you guys need help regarding the build, post here or pm me.

right now i stuck with no spirit gems, low lvl ones are like 100+ex on trade >.<

They drop here and there from side quests/special chests iirc.
Don't really need more than 2 very early on - first one for herald of thunder and 2nd lne for combat frenzy.

any tips for bosses before i get serpent fury?

Probably just explosive spear with +1 limit and fire infusion support and then then alternating btw throwing 2 explosives and spamming LS.
Single target options for spears besides WSF are kinda meh.
