Hello, I want to share to you some things I've learned.
First of all I want to say that English is not my native language. Sorry.

I wanted to make this post a week earlier, but results wasn't so stable.
Now I'm proud to say that my DH bot facerolls 90% of the time. Avg exp is 5-10 bil, 15-20 legs per hour.

Btw i'm using regular trinity, and I've managed what I need to change to make It work.

Seasonal paragon 730.
I'm using nearly perfect gear and N6 build with Bastions of will.
1.9 mil sheet dps, (unbuffed) 19 mil toughness (unbuffed)
2.75 mil dps (buffed), 27 mil toughness (buffed)
40% fire, 53% bonus to Rain of Vengeance, 3900% on ancient belt.
I've decided to get rid of +Strafe Damage, I use toughness stats instead. Cool guys play Glass cannon builds, but let's face it - our bot is not that cool.

Stat that is worth to mentoin is CDR. I have it maxed on both of my 1h x-bows, gloves, shoulders, and helm for a total of 45% and 53%(with Gogok). Only upgrade that I'm looking forward to is trifecta focus and restraint (CDR CC CHD Socket). At this moment I've decided that CC + CHD outperforms CDR + one of CC or CHD.

My gems are BotT, Zei's, Gogok. ~50-60 lvl.

Fire build.
Skills.
1 Evasive fire (focus)
2 Preparaton (foused mind)
3 Smoke Screen (Lingering fog)
4 Wolf Companion
5 Strafe (Rocket storm)
6 Rain of Vengeance (Stampede)

Passives
1 Awarness
2 Cull the weak
3 Steady Aim
4 Ambush

Very important to have "Eun-jang-do", "Bul Kathos Wedding Band", "Freeze of Deflection" and "Ess of Johan" on your Templar for permanent 80% slow on mobs.
1. "Bul Kathos" ring procs Templar's Intimidate passive skill, don't forget to pick it!
2. "Freeze of Deflection" shield - is just a chance to freeze a mobs attacking your templar.
3. "Eun-jang-do" is amazing thing! It works with templar and freezes all mobs below 20% health for 3 seconds. Very helpfull on bosses because ~ at 25% they have some outstanding abilities.
I leveled up a Monk to get this thing and its worth it.

4. "Ess of johan" - no comments.
5. As the second ring I use "Nagelring". It summons fallen lunatics that work like some kind of taunt distracting your enemies.

My gear: http://i.imgur.com/cEL8ZUz.jpg CDR accidentally buffed by shrine while i made this screen shot. Sorry.

Now lets move on to trinity settings.
Now I can laugh at how foolish I was. Now I think I know what made my DH to hug everything. That was so annoying, I was close to delete the game.

1. Set the "Trigger range for Elite" combat to 30-40 and make sure your "Trash trigger range" is the same.
You don't want to let your bot make his choice. So reducing the trigger range you will reduce the chance that bot will weight one target over another.
The more targets are available the more the chances that bot will run into the depth of battle to kill THE CHOSEN ONE. ))
a) Force kill summoners = off
b) Extended kill range = off


2. Set "trash pack cluster radius" to 10 and "min trash mob pack size" to 1.
This parameters are also responsible for hugging. Sometimes bot tries to run through the crowd to kill the biggest pack with aoe. meanwhile he misses some single monsters that are very dangerous at higher Grifts. So we want our bot to kill the closest mobs first.


3. Rain of vengeance. Open DemonHunterCombat.Cs and change

if (Legendary.CrashingRain.IsEquipped)
meta.TargetPositionSelector = skillMeta => TargetUtil.GetBestClusterPoint(30f, 80f);

To

if (Legendary.CrashingRain.IsEquipped)
meta.TargetPositionSelector = skillMeta => TargetUtil.GetBestClusterPoint(1f, 30f);

I don't really understand programming but it works for me.


Bot kills the closest mobs first. Even it it's a fewer pack, it worth to kill it first and don't let them hit you. Also it works well with Stampede knockback mechanics.

4. I still can't tell if Trinity Kiting really works, but i set it to 25, always in combat.

5. All aoe/elite affixes must be set to 100% health.

C7kzmIn.jpg


Open Trinity => Combat => Demon Hunter. Then scroll down and you will see a list of elite affixes (Arcane, Frozen Pulse e.t.c)
Left column is - "Radius" and the right one is "Health %"

For example:
100% value = Your bot will try to avoid this affix even if he is at full health.
50% value = He will start to react on affix only when he will lose a half HP.
0% value = Bot ignores affix.

6. Also i set "Always kill Elites Below % health" to 20. I've mentioned that sometimes the bot can let some of very dangerous elites to live too long, and tries to hit someone else. Since N6 build is a nuke build, that type of task is a matter of one click for the bot.

7. "Minimum Strafe Hatred" is set to 12.

8. Skill spam:
Rain of Vengeance off CD [checked]
Companion off CD [checked]

I'm still experimenting with "smoke screen spam".
A) If its unchecked, the bot can sometimes use it pretty good. For example right before he is going to cross arcane lasers, he turns it on and runs harmlessly. It also saves a lot of time when combat ends and there's still some AoE remain. He doesn't wait, he just runs through with SS up.

on the other hand
B) If it's checked, bot can randomly avoid instant damage like Thunderstorm, Jailer or
Vortex. SS is on for 50% of the time, so look at it as 50% dodge chance.

So there's pros and cons in both of these options. It's hard to tell wich one is right.


It still kinda sucks VS Reflects, but my setup helps a bit with it. Because when bot pulls an elite pack with reflect damage affix, reflect damage triggers instantly while my bot keeps killing closest mobs, and sometimes it turns out that he starts to hit elites when their buff has already gone.

Anyways, thanks a lot for your attention!
If someone can tell me why "Flee in ghost mode" does'n work, i would appreciate it!

I'm using latest DB beta build.

Running latest R-RIFT profile.

Quest tools settings are not mandatory, but since my bot performs better in 45-50th rifts (optimal Exp/Legs/Deaths) I set:
1. Number of waves to 8-9.
2. Use keys up to level 50. Recently cleared 52 (13:22) but in average he can finish in time only 15-20% of 51-52th rifts.
3. Lowest gems upgrade first
4. Minimum upgrade chance 10%.
5. IMPORTANT! If your "Gogok of Swiftness", "Iceblink", and "Boon of Hoarder" are at max (50) level, drop them to the bottom of gem upgrading priority list to prevent bot's stucking.


Here's the link to my trinity: https://www.dropbox.com/s/f010p6fyhe7oyyp/DH_GR50_Trinity.7z?dl=0

NO SHRINES INVOLVED.

Screenshot shows my buffed stats during the combat. Buffs are: Wolf companion, N6 buff, Gogok. All those have almost 100% uptime.
Have to admit, I got very lucky with Physical resist secondary rolls.
Btw Crashing Rain calculates only your main hand damage, so I rolled VIT on Nat x-bow.

Today is the first day I saw that it works.
These are my results for 1 day

EXP is a bit too high, but sometimes he goes really crazy and lucky. So I can't say if I could trust in this number. Anyway is a pleasure to see something like that from time to time.
I hope you guys believe I'm not playing it myself. Botting for 2 years and don't see any reason to get my hands dirty :cool:

Quest tools:
I've set up quest tools to clear the trial waves up to 10. Sometimes bot get 50th key immediately, sometimes he climbs up from ~45.
Now I've limited my Quest tools with max at 50 Gr's to get consistent success. Bot saves all 51th keys for my future testing.
I believe that bot has a potential to faceroll ~55 at this state of meta and available bot plugins.

Just want to say thank you! I went from 47 on lucky rifts to 49 consistently using your setup.
 
I set the BOT in your method, but I can't do it. I don't understand where the problem is. Because in the 50 tier, I'll be knocked down at a time. After buff, my tenacity is 20 mil. Equipment is also very close to you, I am depressed.
 
And I found that if Strafe Hatred is set to Minimum 12, Hatred is not enough. Always empty state

Here's the link to my trinity.

About strafe and hatred thing, check this guy's gamplay video.
Fire Natalya's Solo Stampede - GR 55+ Demon Hunter Build 2.2 - Diablo 3 Reaper of Souls - YouTube

Well man, you got me. Now I have to explain some complicated things with my bad english! ))

We can't afford to get Hatred regen on items or RCR stat, as well as we can't afford to drop any passives for the Night Stalker.

As we can see in this video, "Evasive fire" is our generator of choice because:
1. It has lowest frame rate
2. Projectile hits targets instantly, reducing our CD on Rain of Vengeance faster.

Strafe - Rocket storm shoots out rockets. And somehow these are only rockets in DH arsenal that are able to proc cooldown reduction on rain of vengeance. Tested it.

When we set minimum hatred higher than 12 we get inconsistent CD proc. And sometimes we force bot to stand in place and shoot with evasive fire only, making him vulnerable to projectile attacks and AoE.
The lower this parameter the more frequent alteration we get between the both skills. Strafe doesn't need to be channeled constantly, i know, it looks nice, but we are here for result. 1 second of rocket storm channel = -6, -8 cd on rain of vengeance. With high enough CDR it's enough to cast rain of vengeance and start a new cycle.

I hope i don't sound like a drunk gypsy. :rolleyes:
 
This is great lol. I'm getting GR 47 keys in trials with this setup. Thanks! Don't have an Ancient Nat's Slayer or Calamity yet. RNG don't like me haha.
 
i seem to get one shotted very vast on here, i am not using a eye of elitch cause i would lose like 200k damg, how req is it for this build, will losing the 200k damg keep me alive. I could make it the neck real nice but i would not have a 3rd socket.
is there a gem that i can pass on or do i need all 3
 
how the hell did you reach 88 CDR? max i get is like 58% with gogok... and i have max cdr on everything except amulet

Hi!
Eye of Etlich is not mandatory. And it is possible to go with only 2 gems. Try to use "Esoteric Alteration" gem instead "Zei's Stone Vengeance".
After a lot of testing I decided to stick with "Zei's" because stunned mob can't harm you at all.
But my bot gets one shotted only with some of Rift Guardian's attacks. Regular elite affixes can kill me very seldom, mostly beacuse I'm in smoke screen, not because I'm tanking it.

Amulet without CC socketed with "Iceblink" gem is a good option here.

200k dmg loss is not a big deal.
20% knockback dmg on Strongarm vs 30% = 1/3 of your dps.
I want to say that there's a lot more important sources of dps that are not shown on your sheet dps.
Strongarm bracers are the great example of it. That's why I don't use the cold build.

1. Try to get "Eun-jang-do", "Bul Kathos Wedding Band" and "Ess of Johan" on your Templar follower. It is imba control combo-wombo.
2. Get All Res whenever you can. It takes some time to get ancient boots and pants with Dex, Vit, All res.
3. 50% cdr to have almost 0 downtime on preparation gives you 50% smoke screen uptime.
4. Don't forget to change elite affixes (Aoe) Health to 100%. It's in Trinity, Combat, Demon Hunter, Scroll down.

And yes, there's rifts that are rolled too badly. Thanks to EXP inactivity timer.

My bot still can't handle Voracity. They are both, the bot and the Voracity are total douchebags when they meet each other! ;)

I have tested a lot of build variations of N6.

Biggest disappointment was brought by the "broken promises build". What a name... I should have known... Bro-ken Pro-mi-ses...
I farmed perfect gear without CC for the whole week.
In exchange for CC i got a lot of toughness, 50mil.
And guess what? That retard got oneshotted like a bitch again and again.

So, if you are getting oneshotted by white mobs, then yes, you need more toughness. If elites one shot you you need more DPS and Crowd Control.

I hope I helped a bit, but if I saw your stats It was easier to give an advice.

Wow! LoL man!
I guess my bot picked up a shrine while i made this screenshot. Sorry.
Anyway It feels good that I didn't lie about it. I said its 53% (with Gogok) on my very first post.

Thank you for sharing, my fellow. Trust me, I'm worse than you in English. I found that I used TR2.91, you use TR2.10. This could be a problem. I intend to try a few more times, perhaps I will succeed. Thank you again for sharing..
 
Hi,

5. All aoe/elite affixes must be set to 100% health.

Where in Tirnity do you find this option?

Thx

chd-524%
resistences 400-600
life- 574k

i dl your trinity zip but had to make the changes to the combat section you had mentioned on page one about cluster and ranges only thing i saw that was already changed was the 100 % life on the aoe spells and the rain of vengeance change other wise had to manually change them
my gear is comparable to yours for the most part, my neck is def not as good but most others are real close
my bot still dies on lvl 47 rifts and the one lvl 49 rift i tried fell a little behind because ran in to multiple elies with thunderstorm and reflect
what do you have checked with spam options like rain of vengeance, smoke screen, shadow power, companion of CD, vengeance with elites only let me know which you have checked thanks
