Dear all,

From the poll, it is quite clear that the community wants the DH to be optimized most, so I will begin working on this character first. Please post here your common 'bot' builds (and gear), and I'll try to make them work as efficiently as possible.

I look forward to your feedbacks.

Cheers! :)

What about MP10 builds? :D If I remember correctly, permanent strafe build is very efficient for low MP?
 
i planned to sold all my very good gear of my dh - 294416 ehp and 307539 dps

and gear some barb for mp10
 
Demon Hunter - Game Guide - Diablo III. Sometimes use imminent doom on bola, ball lightning on ele arrow and guardian turret in place of preparation and cull the weak instead of night stalker.
The problem I have using trinity is the character will vault directly into a pack of mobs, then back away, back in, back away etc. Also, it will not use a hatred generator until completely out of hatred and anyone who plays a similar dh builds knows that a rhythm between bolas and ele's is key to the build. Typically spike trap bola bola ele ele ele spike trap bola bola ele ele ele etc...I stay pretty much topped off on disc and hatred unless gloom spamming an elite this way instead of constantly out of both when using trinity.

P.S. I use manticcore mainly but also calamity depending on mood.
 
I think the rule of thumb when 'playing' DH as a bot is never to use vault. ;)
 
Posted on your other thread, but will post here too.

Demon Hunter - Game Guide - Diablo III - Usually use this build playing by hand on MP10

It mainly involves putting down a trap for the 10% crit and using a snapshot of shadow power before you channel rapidfire, when low on hatred throw out some bola's(however your grenades will probably work better for the bot) and kite, vault is mainly for bad situations(don't use it for normal movement)

You should be full disc nearly all the time, as while rapidfire is channeled it keeps the 15% life steal from shadow power, the 35% damage reduction from the gloom rune is very efficient when your health drops low.

Bat is only there for the hatred regen so you can channel for that small bit longer o/

Your current one would work wonders if it could check for shadow power and just channel rapidfire in melee and only use grenades for hatred regen when needed really
 
I would like to see the bot use prep when you run out of hate seems like it doesn't work atm.

Actually this does work, but usually your bot doesn't have enough discipline to pull it off (25 disc is quite alot). :)
 
Any possibility of preventing the DH from actually running head first into these mobs? A lot of my deaths are actually from melee and it just stands there taking an oversized hammer to the skull.

Ram up your eHP by ways of all res, armor, and vit. dodging mechanism is limited now so the only way to survive mp10 is to tank. I'll make a video soon if I have the time. :)
 
just get about 650 res and 4000 armor with 200kdps and the right build, and you can do mp10. :)
 
Haha really? I've got 188k DPS with 4075 armor, but my res is just over half way to 600.. No way I could do MP5 lol... at least, not easily.
 
that's because your res is too low.

Problem is, most people build the DH thinking s/he CAN dodge, but the original idea of a demonhunter has been nerfed, smoke screen is now 1 sec, DH doesn't move any faster than other chars, and as a bot, your dodging is even worse, so the way to go is to play the DH just like any other char, don't just ram up paper dps, instead, build a balanced, preferably tanky char, take hits, leech life back, and kill. :)
 
True. I actually just respec'd specifically for the bot. My DPS drops about 30k but I have a couple things that are able to stun quite frequently. With the amount of close combat that occurs, I think this might help immensely... We'll see how that one goes.
 
Nice routine Dog. Had a few deaths on mp 7-8 but changed out punishment to backup plan and ss to guardian turret and no deaths since. Using manticore with 1.99 aps, probably the reason cant keep disc or hate in above spec. What do you set your kite settings to in trinity? Bot seems a little kitey on default so I have considered using imminent doom.
