Don't use the boar, its terrible on higher mps. I think replacing SA with nightstalker is a good idea.

Grenades+cluster+passive looks interesting. never tried it out myself so no comments on that one.

Hey guys,

I'm currently playing a Demon Hunter and I'm in need of some assistance.

http://eu.battle.net/d3/en/profile/Xaysia-2684/hero/1573739

I'd like to know what items I should strive to get (I currently have around 7 million IGG, and I'd like to know what items I should prioritize) and if I should switch some skills.

Is 12% Movement Speed obligatory for a demon hunter? If I would strive for the Natalya chest armor and boots, it would not only cost me all gold I have, but I would loose a lot of resistance and vitality on the switch.
However, the two set parts grants me a bonus of 7% Critical Hit Strike. I currently have 270% Critical Hit Damage and I'm still not sure whether or not this will give me a huge DPS boost or if I will stay on the same level.

Any ideas, thoughts what I should improve? Any skills I should switch out? Any help is appreciated!

is it worth it to use vengeance, archery, tact. advantage with the gear http://www.diabloprogress.com/hero/xzero-1427/Xzero/9711391 ; for leveling. I lose around 7k life and 11k dps from my main gear but i blow past mp1 and mp2 act 3 easier using the alkaiser route (8-12mins varies on the pack). What im asking, is picking radius gear (+21 radius) and veangeance better than steady aim passive for leveling?. I lose alot of damage but I move faster. But with the vengeance build I do runs at a lower mp than my normal build (mp4 or 5 with steady aim).Whats your opinion; doing runs faster in lower mp's and less exp, or doing runs slightly longer at higher mp for more exp?

And what skills and passive would u recommend for me for leveling with my current gear

I have been doing something very similar to what you are doing.
Keep farming the lower mp levels as speed>
I like to use strafe for mp0/1 so taking off steady aim had to happen, now I play ww dh

you're telling me you can do alkaizer route mp2 in 8-12min with your gear (no legacy nat or nightstalker build and no max disc item) ? no way

archery/tactical advantage/vengeance + ball lightning (less hatred consumption in low MP, as long as you kill mobs in 2-3 ball) and keep farming mp0-1.

oups double post, guess i'll just continue so.



12-24% movement speed is not mandatory, but is recommended to maximize efficiency

take devouring arrow + ball lightning and switch steady aim + perfectionist for vengeance (or tactical advantage) + nightstalker and keep farming a3 mp0.

look for +max disc on chest and quiver, it's a must-have if you don't own a nat set (it will improve your survavibility a lot more than stacking all res/vit)

Hello, first of all...im a big fan of you, since the EXP runs!
I want to build an EXP Demon Hunter, want to rush paragon levels REALLY fast!
What MP lvl should i aim for? Got an Hellfire CC+CD+200 Dex already, goin to look for an Leoric Signet w/ 25% EXP, and i have already an dex Cain Set + Radiant Star Ruby.
What weapon should i aim? DPS? And what pieces of non-cain-set should i look for? Any suggestion?
Sorry about my bad english xD
Thanks, and u're awesome!

MP1. For XP runs I'd choose any weapon that allows you to 1 shot them so you can keep your speed up. Just stack crit chance / dex / crit damage and goto town, a manticore in this instance might be the best route.

If you find yourself 1 shotting elites consistently in mp1, move up a notch.

Hello
im playing DH solo mp 5 but i want more, i still have some problems for mp 6 7
here is my db
http://www.diabloprogress.com/hero/nyu-2805/Nyu/233910

do you have some idea to change stuff ?

about build i had an idea ( maybye im wrong, but i tryed and its not so bad )
remove Steady Aim ( i think its useless in solo because im always near mobs ) and put Night Stalker ( this should give me more Discipline for tanking undershadow power )
i like Ball lighting for the big aoe ( so big LL under shadow power )

thans for help and advices

Well if you are going to use ball lightning a lot, grab a dead man's with 14% to elemental arrow it makes a huge difference in overall damage output. That's probably where I would start, try to pick up EHP boosters like high vit/life% items and boost base physical damage with Dex/Avg damage items.
