Hi guys.
Up until now I had severe difficulties running Grifts past 65 with my M6 DH, despite following the DH bot settings suggested in many threads on this forum. The main issue (I think) is the fact that the current default combat routines aren’t perfect as far as DH playstyle goes. What I noticed is that even with distance/kiting/avoidance options set correctly, the bot sometimes still facetanks, or stands in the middle of aoe without evading it, resulting in frequent deaths especially when facing elite packs with nasty affixes.
So I have tried to find a workaround to mitigate the unreliable kiting problem. With this build I’m able to run lvl 70 grifts in 11-12 mins, and lvl 68 ones smoothly in under than 10 minutes. Atm I'm only at 750 PL and my ancients are augmented using only lvl 50-60 gems, so the performance of this setup might improve as I progress.
Any feedback on how to improve the build is much appreciated.
The Build:
http://www.d3planner.com/618622906
The main catch is trying to mitigate incoming damage as much as possible, while not sacrificing the damage output.
Cloak of The Garwulf + Zoey’s Secret + Wraps of Clarity + Full stacks from Taeguk, in conjunction with Visage of Gunnes in the cube, provide an INSANE amount of toughness when Vengeance and defensive buffs are up (in my case: 430 mil with current stats and items). More than enough to endure all the nastiness that elite packs throw at you at lvl 68-70 GRifts.
The Traveler’s Pledge set provides a 100% damage buff while standing still, which synergizes well with the bot’s tendency to just sit there and shoot at things wile spamming smoke screen, so you won’t miss that much the spammable 50%+50% bonus from BoW. It also allows you to free a ring slot, meaning that you can equip RotRG to keep that nice M6 full set bonus and still use CoE in your cube.
I use Bane of the Powerful instead of Zei because I think it works better with the (sometimes unreliable) way in which the bot positions itself.
