Any hardcore DH botters out there?

[kiljind]

I'm currently botting HC with my monk Ghom T4 but looking for a change as my monks reaching a gear ceiling and its not as exciting! How are DH in HC for botting? Are they able to sustain disconnects etc? I'm looking to make a single target killing machine to kill Ghom T6 efficiently.

You will die, no matter what

i had a barb with 24m toughness and 700k dps on T1 (!!!) and suddenly died during a d/c on an unlucky elite

(and i had wedding band ring for hp leech and belt which deals 120% dps on hit etc..)

My monk is able to survive T4 DCs using unity with follower + healing mantra. Trick is to balance AR and armor with LPS. Just wondering if the same can be achieved with DH.

Also wedding band only heals 1℅of Max health per second so its not so good in terms of LPS

If you wear a Mara's, you'll never die at Ghom regardless of difficulty. I have 2m toughness on my DH and with Mara's I can just stand there and not die in T6.

That's a good shout - might keep farming on my monk till I get this then switch to DH. How fast can you kill Ghom in t6?

I'm a just under a million damage on my WD, and have Mara's, and kill Ghom in about 20 seconds.

What kind of gear do you have to be able to do T4?
My monk has enough gear to be 100% immortal on T1 (can stand in poison indefinately) but only 800k dps or so, so only getting 45 games per hour or so.

My monk sits at 1.1M DPS buffed with unity passive and mystic ally, and I've geared around lightning damage (60%). TF and odyn combo for weapons. Big thing for me is maxing out LPS from paragon points. That, combined with healing mantra + sustenance rune I get a lot of LPS for both me and my follower. Important for follower to stay alive so that unity ring reduces my damage by 50%. With this setup im doing Ghom t4 @ 40 GPH.

I'm using GNK helm so my LTKs have a significant DMG boost. Also the haunt of vaxo amulet helps a lot for me at least.

Oh, so significantly better gear than me then. Allright, that explains it TY!

i have a barb with 290k dmg and 68million toughness. i geared him up doing ghom on normal-master. now he does ghom on t1. he could have a lot more dmg but a lot less toughness. he has a 0% chance of dying on ghom t1. 68m toughness with mara's. he can stand infront of ghom doing nothing till the game disconnects.

only downside is it takes a few min to kill ghom on t1.

Mmm my Mara's are int so my sheet DPS is only ~800k, 95% fire damage, 30% CA, and 30% elite damage. Ghom dies in about 15-20 seconds on T6, depending on if it wants to run circles around me or hit my pets/followers instead. With about 40% dodge, 2m toughness, and Mara's, Ghom's only attack that does damage to you is his basic attack, which does about 30-40% to me. It's so slow though that the poison heals me back up before he can attack a second time.

Oh man my my heart would race if I saw health drop more than 10% haha. Are you playing on HC? How does he fair outside of Ghom? I.e. Rifts?

I play on SC, would only play HC when ladders come out.

You can easily take 0 damage from Ghom if you make the bot kite when Ghom gets too close. Slightly slower kill time, but you'll never get hit.

I would just say... I wouldn't bot DH outside of simple boss fights. If you want to bot a DH outside of boss fights on HC, I'd recommend having alot of toughness and a Countess Julia's Cameo. The few times I watched my DH bot legendary road a while back, it would do something weird whenever it sees Arcane Sentries and end up just walking into them and dying. It's doable though, just take SS - Healing Vapors and raise the cast restrictions to 80% HP instead of the default 50%.

I botted my DH from 1 - 70 on HC then to paragon 120 on Master.

But currently the DB team dont give a shit, that if you loose authentication to there servers the bot will stop and your toon will sit there and die over time.

So i dont bot HC atm untill they address that, (if they do)..

Im currently using an alternative bot to DB to level HC toon with my leveling service i sell on player auction.

That's mainly what my concern is, and which is why I was asking if it would be possible to have enough sustain as a DH to survive DCs. Monks can achieve this with the right setup. I've DC'd some T3 runs/T4 Ghom a few times without death.

Good info thanks man. I've got a sick trifecta Countless Julia's amulet but its level 60 so I'm missing out on some dex but definitely worth it!
