I can't stand playing glass cannons, but made a DH anyway for optimal Sarkoth runs. With the latest banwaves, I'm slowly looking towards some alternatives and farming A1 champion packs seems to be the best we can do right now. Since the gear requirements for successfully botting this with the standard glass cannon DH seem fairly extreme, I decided to try out a tankier approach.
The build I'm using right now:
Demon Hunter - Game Guide - Diablo III
Using gear that cost roughly 3-4 mil (gets me 43k hp, 12.5k dps, 5k armor, 700-800 on all resists, 1.2k LoH and 700 LPS) I can easily faceroll A1 and probably much more while paying next to zero attention (standing in arcane orbs, desecrates, etc.), but things get more difficult when trying to bot.
Currently, I'm using the generic routine with the following settings:
Unfortunately, most of that stuff doesn't actually work. Despite setting it to be cast every 2 minutes, the bot never actually casts Chakrams, nor does it use the emergency cooldowns properly even when it still has enough Discipline to do so. Also, I don't see a way to make the bot reasonably use the Sentry skill for the 15% damage reduction. Some of these problems can probably be remedied by writing a custom combat routine, which I intend to look into doing next, but with DB sadly and inexplicably being unable to read resource levels there is a limit to how far things can be improved.
Nevertheless, even with all the issues the bot did manage to clear the A1 champion farm profile, though it's pretty rare to see it finish the whole run with zero deaths.
Has anyone else tried something similar or have any ideas on how to improve this?
