Yes sir it is

To begin with, strafe is highly dependent on pick up radius you need at least 12-14.

Attack Speed drains your hatred faster so switch out your attack speed for gear that "hits harder". Mempo for a Nats Sight and try to get a heavy stat Dead Man's with 10-12% attack speed tops (also as much hatred regen as you can get).

For chest get a Nats Embrace with pick up radius or hatred regen.

Get pick up radius on your pants or on the helm, so long as you meet 14 it shud be okay. I recommend Inna's with Pick up radius and 8% attack speed. And you really need that 2 piece nats bonus so I suggest you grab at least that.

Hope that helps, I'm sometimes streaming my DH strafe set up so feel free to ask questions during stream

hi guys,

i got like 14m to spend but im not quite sure what i should upgrade. probably neck and ring, but i dont really know which stats boost me the most for an affordable price (is +dmg that important for me?).
im open for any reccomendations

I have 1.9m gold, and I think I can get 18m with the FG I have, is it possible to build a DH that can farm mp0-1?

just posted my dh in the previous post, i spent about 20m for the gear and can farm mp3-4 easily. so mp0-1 should be no problem for less gold

Don, you should try Multishot out a little w/ suppression fire, yet same vengeance/tactical/bat/chakram cloud etc. Is a lot of fun and just as fast for me as strafe w/ legacy nats.

Literally 1 hits trash mobs in MP0-1 and probably 4-5 on elites. Usually don't run out of Hatred since Supression Fire/Bat/Vengeance/DML Regen.

Give it a shot

I suggest you make a barb with this much gold, to manage to get through a3 mp0/1 alkaizer runs with a 18m DH will result in many deaths, slow mob kill times and so on. A barb for 15-20m can blow through act 3 mp0 (use about 5-10m just for a skorn and you will be good).

So guys, for those of you interested in the strafe build. -- Demolition Rune Test --

After doing quite a bit of testing on mp2 azmo, when I equip my DML with 20% Attack speed and 288 Dex over the 10% attack speed with 285 Dex I kill Azmo on average over 10 Kills Attempts at 1.5 Seconds faster (thefore Attack speed affects Strafe DPS).

When I equip my Witching Hour with 9% attack Speed 99 Dex and 46% Crit Dmg over my Inna's Favor with 8% Holy and 159 Dex the azmo kill time with the 19% attack speed increased set up is faster than the no attack speed set up by an average of 3 seconds over 10 Azmodan kills.

I believe that the reason for this happening is that grenades are proc'd/shot out at a faster rate with higher attack speed from the Demolition rune -- I have not tried this with Rocket storm yet.

Now, when you increase your attack speed by 10% or 19% like I did during the hatred drain is MUCH bigger. When I had the 19% set up I would get to about 0-10% Hatred BUT with the 0% attack speed increased my Hatred never dropped below 40-50%.

How you choose to apply attack speed into your gear should be based on your ability to keep up the perma strafe/pick up radius/hatred regen in gear.

Hope this helps which ever of you guys is a strafing DH looking to optimize your build

Tried it one more time and i picked up a frenzied shrine put on the other 19% and it would have been the fastest run by far except for the running out of hatred which turned it into the slowest of all runs haha

can anybody help?

Oh sorry man I thought I replied to this. I can't access the armory from where I am I will let you know later. I think though yours was the one whose ammy had no cc. If that's the one i'd go for that, you might lose stat sheet dps because I think it also had a big avrg dmg mod and dex but it will be more optimal. Also a weapon upgrade usually does the trick but your dps seems okay for now. So long as you are no longer dependant on SS and smoke screen you are fine. Save up about 50m to 100m for a good weapon. Basic stats that must be reached are 300-350 all res 30-35k HP 24% ms 50-55% cc.

Preferably you reach these stats without perfectionist.
