Budget Demon Hunter Champion Farming Act 3 & Botting 101 (DH)

Hey guys so the first time I came here i found it pretty hard to get my bot started, having experienced that i figured i would type out a complete guide along with gear, setting up the bot etc etc for the benefit of any new botters and any botters out there who want to bot on a demon hunter. If you know how to DL the files and all that then scroll down to where it says Settings if you know all that too then just go ahead to where it says Demon Hunter.

Setting up your Bot
Always make sure you have the latest version
Stable version : updates.buddyauth.com/?dev=yerp
Beta Version
A quick note here, although the beta version suggests that you dont use it with plugins, i have used it with plugins in the past to great effect, BUT if it doesn't work with plugins; well i guess you'll know why :)
Now once you have downloaded the latest bot file, you want to extract it.

For those of you that know how to extract, you may skip this paragraph and for those of you that dont; keep reading. To extract said file you will need an archiving program, i find WinRAR to my liking,
www.win-rar.com/download.html?&L=0 to download said program. Once youve installed WinRAR go ahead to the downloaded Demonbuddy Bot file, Right click on it and say "Extract to Demonbuddy 1.0.xxxx.xxx"

Once you've done that a folder should appear next to the Downloaded Demonbuddy file. Open this folder and inside it should look somewhat like the following:

3308kjq.png

One last thing you need to do is create a new folder within the demonbuddy folder and name it "Plugins"


Now that you have the Bot lets go ahead and get ourselves a profile and the respective plugins. Now for the purpose of this Guide i will be using an Act III profile and its corresponding required plugins.
Profile
[A3 - Inferno] Champion Hunting
Now if you notice on this page the "Required Plugins" subheading and it asks you get:
Radsatom - Sign up if you have to its free
Giles Trinity
Now when you download these they will once again be in the form of Archive or Zip files and you will have to extract them. The profile folder you can leave anywhere you want, however as a rule of thumb and just to make my computer look cleaner i usually dump the profile into the same folder as demon buddy.
Once you have extracted the Plugins (radsatom and Giles) open the corresponding folders that contain the plugins. You will notice that there is folder after folder after folder.
For example i think randastom has a folder called "archonic xxx" and inside that another folder called "archonic xxx" and inside that another folder called "radsatom" and inside that last folder you'll see a bunch of files. Now what you NEED is this last FOLDER. IE the folder that contains all the files.
These folders that contain the files is what you will need to put into the folder you created called "Plugins" within the demonbuddy folder.

Now one last step we need to do before we are good to go. Giles requires that you take the blank GilesBlankCombatRoutine.zip, extract it and put that inside the "Routines" folder within demon buddy.

All files for your bot are finally set :D

Run your bot, you will be prompted to enter your cd key which you can copy paste in or you youve memorized it (holy shit) go for it.
Now once the bot is running there are 4 tabs at the top, Main, Info Dumping, Settings and Plugins.
Our main focus will be the last two tabs I.E. Settings and Plugins.

Settings
Loot/kill radius -untouched
Wait time - 120 - 300 is good id say (imitates pee break, water break, ah break and or a snack break)
Repair Durability - untouched
Monster Power - 1 or 2 (doesnt matter how godlike your char is)
Inactivity time - change this to 0
Edit Protected bag slots - i recommend you leave your inventory empty except for potions
Death handling - the profile requires you leave this on "ignore" but always follow what your profile asks you to do
Protected stash page - up to you
Full inventory handling - again up to you
(if i didn't mention anything else leave it at default value)

Plugins
Giles - under the Combat Tab and under the Misc Sub-tab: UNCHECK Allow out-of-combat Movement Powers
You can leave everything else on default settings
Radsatom - Death Handling : Next profile - change this to 4, Leave Game 5 Inactivity timer - 3 mins


Andddd your bot is now Set Up. You can tweak any of the above settings as you see fit.

Demon Hunters
Build:
us.battle.net/d3/en/calculator/demon-hunter#aigTVl!bXe!ccYbca

Hung Arrow - SoT - my crits at 41%
Ele Arrow - NT - Life leach
SP - Gloom - More Life Leach
FoK - HoK - Aoe dmg for when you get surrounded
Prep - BP - More Glooms!
RoV - Dark Cloud - Aoe dmg helps when your surrounded plus its good Life leach too
Vengeance - Makes Health Globes that much better
Night Stalker - If you have high Crit this will give you more Glooms
Archery - Straight up dmg boost

MP 1/2 Stats:
52 k hp
450 AR
41% crit
110 k dps
3.5k armor
Crit Dmg - 350%
Life Leach 2.6%
LoH - 1400
1.68 APS - Higher APS means you life leach faster
21% Move Speed

MP 1 - Rate & Yield
A few of you wanted to know my yield, i bot about 8 - 12 hours a day (mostly when i goto bed) and i get anywhere from 2 - 15 ish Legendaries a night (MP1). This along with any good Yellows i find yields me anywhere from 50 - 100 mill a week.
My bots rate:
1 game/ ~35 Mins
~1 death per hour (mostly 0 though, that occasional freak death :( sigh)
~17 mill XP per hour
~ 300k Gold per hour

MP 3 Stats:
85 k hp
650 AR
36% crit
75 k dps
3.5k armor
Crit Dmg - 300%
Life Leach 2.6%
LoH - 1400
1.68 APS - Higher APS means you life leach faster
21% Move Speed
0-3 deaths per hour, about 1.25 hours per Act III run, 10-13 mill XP/H and same item yield as MP1

Weapon
You will need a weapon with the following affixes
dmg anything over 1 k should do
Important Descending Order
LoH - 800 +
Life Steal - 2.5% +
Dext 100 +
Socket
Crit Dmg

Boots/Pants/bracers/chest : You want to work towards 25% MS (move in between packs faster)
Boots : Almost any boots can roll this affix
Pants : Innas Temperance
Bracers : Lecuni Prowlers
Chest: Tyrael's Might

You want LOH on any item you can get ie weapon, neck and rings
Stats youre looking for
Dexterity
Vitality
All resist
% Life
(any sort of CC you can get such as freeze, slow, fear, knock back and etc are greatly helpful)

Helmet
Anything with some or all of the above stats + a socket would be helpful
Helm Socket:
% Health if you are dying too much
+ Magic Find for better loots
+ XP gem for faster lvling
I tend to go with the + mf (paragon levels will come and im in no rush)

Follower
Templar for more MF
Intervene
Intimidate
Charge
Guardian

Enchantress if you dont need the MF
Forceful Push
Powered Armor
Erosion
Focused Mind
Also if you give your enchantress a Maximus its VERY VERY effective

Edit
Also if you can get + pick up radius it will help ALOT, try to keep this number around 10 though, any larger and your bot might pick up globes when not needed.
Ill keep Updating this as i see fit
Let me know if I've missed anything

Please let me know if my spec, itemization and settings worked for you, i would really like to get some feedback and will keep improving this thread.

P.S - I have some good DH botting gear if anyone's interested
Happy Botting folks hope this helped <3 thank you for reading :)

I finally got around to making a budget build i have yet to do a full line of testing but here goes:

Our budget is going to be a ~ 20 mill
The most important thing to realize is if you bid you will spend A LOT less money

I will be entering search parameters, so if i say "vit" just leave your field as Vitality from drop down then in the quantity value leave it blank. If i say Vit 80 then enter Vitality in your field and then 80 in the quantity window

Helm - Andies with 200 dext
Helm 2 - Dext 80, Vit, Ar, CC 4, Socket, Pick up Radius (if you cant get radius here try to get it in a diff item)
Shoulders - Dext 100, Vit 140, AR, Armor
Ring - Dext 100, CD, Vit
If using Bow then get 2 of those rings
If using Xbow you want this as your second ring
Ring2 Xbow - Dext 100, AS, Vit
Gloves - Dext 160, AR, AS, CC
Chest - Innas with Vit and % hp
Pants - Innas
Boots - Dext 180, Vit, AR 70, MS
Belt - Dext 80, Vit 100, AR 55, %HP 8
Bracers - Dext 80, Vit 100, AR 60, CC 3.5
Amulet - Dext, Vit 100, LOH, CC 8, AR 55
OH - Dead Mans with Dext/Vit 180, Ele Arrow Dmg, AS 15, CC 8,

The above ammies and rings you can get for DIRT cheap if you bid (sub 1 mill)

Weapon - i recommend getting a Manticore if you can
Dext
Loh 800
Life Steal 2.4
Green Gem

So a few of you have been wondering what items i have available for botting, here is a SS of them
http://i47.tinypic.com/29mr2x5.png
First come first serve, not trying to make profit, this would goto waste on the AH anyways and would help you fellow botters much more.

Hidden said:
How much cash did you spend on your gear that make you die 0 times per hour? because im dying like 7-13 times per hour.. :/
i spent like maybe 50 -100 mill
problem isnt the cash, problem is FINDING the gear, most gear i have only come to the AH very rarely :S

for EG i have an extra amulet here
80 dext
80 vit
64 resist all
500 LOH
9% life
6.5 crit
and 12 max damage bonus...

Perfect stats for DH bot, unfortunately VERY rare to come across, if you do though its usually relatively cheap :S
link me to your profile and ill let you know what you need to upgrade, if you don't trust me then just give me a screen shot of your gear and ill look over it for you and let you know what you can improve :)


P.S your spec matters... Ive done a lot of trial and error before Ive come to this one rite here and its what Ive found that works best so far

Soooo whats your spec?
 
So I have been botting for ages.. and I wanted to gear a new toon up for botting. I currently have 60mil to use. I have been pondering who to do since yesterday. I have been using a WW barb since the day it was viable.. and I used to use the DH for sarkoth botting when that was good. Anyways I wanted to try something different besides barb. I saw a nice guide for a cheap monk "cannon" also saw claims of a viable DH and Wiz that can do act 3 runs 0-1 deaths.. so I am looking for insight from people who use WD, Wiz, DH, Monks for botting act 3 instead of barb.

40k hp
450 AR
and about 1400 LOH gives you a pretty good DH bot that wont die too easy MP1 act 3

anything you add to this is just bonus, its relatively cheap (no one buys botting gear) but may take a few days to acquire
 
why mp1? whats wrong with mp0?

hmm i one shot most stuff in mp 1 (175k dps on my bot)
so if i run both mp0 and mp1 and the same rate i rather do mp1
mp1 abit mroe MF and also chance to get key from keywarden :) got like 30 keys now lol
 
Jackyra...I have installed demonbuddy and using the radsatom and giles plugin. I have checked the box for radsatom and giles in the plugins tab. I load the radsatom profile under the mains tab and when I start the bot it, i select giles plugin and then it keeps saying "grid segmentation resetting!!"

You're getting that because you haven't downloaded a profile to load. So the bot seems like it's running, but because there's no profile, the bot has no maps to run. Go into the Act 3 section of the Profiles forums and download say, the CIGGARC Act 3 Champion Hunting Profile and load it up from the BigRed_STARTHERE file.

Once you selected the file to load, click Start, Select GilesPlugin as your combat routine, and wait a bit and it'll start clearing through the Act 3 maps.

You'll then get a line like this:
[21:56:56.670 N] Loaded profile [A3 - Inferno]Champion-Hunting 1.3.6.3 BigRed Profile Starter!

I would also suggest as an alternative to Fan of Knives: Hail of Knives to be Spike Traps (Echoing Blast). It hits like a truck, has no cooldown, and hits 3 times. It's also highly efficient if say, you want to choose to run the Azmodan portion of the Champion Hunting profile, although I think Azmodan may only be possible with Boar as your companion (draws aggro of Azmodan in the first 5 seconds).

That said, solid guide. Around 40k HP, 4k armor, ~400 all resists along with Shadow Power: Gloom will keep your deaths/hr low (takes a bad pack of monsters hitting me while I'm frozen to kill me), and from there, just get straight DPS. I think if you really want to focus on raising your paragon level, MP1 is optimal. I'm getting ~25m exp/hr as a DH, with 31% gem, hellfire rings on my character and follower at Mp1, but I get less exp on MP0 or MP2 (around 21-23m).

Thanks alot, realized my mistake and got it running now..:o:o
 
What do you have your kill radius and loot radius set to? And also any specific settings in giles to avoid arcane enchanted/desecrator/etc @ certain hp % ?

I run with 40 kill radius on Trinity. As for the AoEs, the bot usually handles them well with the default options.
 
Sorry guys been away for a while :S

could i get those items for my DH bot?

sure thing, send me a msg and ill send you my battletag

Default. Profiles come with KR and LR so i dont change any of those, even if you were to change any of the settings i do believe that when a new profile is loaded the values change all over again. Same with Giles settings when it comes to avoidance.
