Demon Hunter Builds

[domus]

(I think) I've decided to start with the DH as my initial Char come 12:01 AM PDT May 15th.

I had 3 days to play the beta (near the end), thanks to a good friend, and I played all chars to max level and had great fun.

I've been reading the builds and thinking things through. I know swapping skills isn't easy (I could find any hotkeys for swapping skills).

It seems to me that its harder to cram all of the skills into 1 box and make a balanced all-comers build.

With that in mind I've built what I think will be my main 2 builds (all subject to game once the actual game lands and I can play & see actual data).

For dealing with Large Groups

Slow, Slow, Slow then Multi-Shot and spam Rapid Fire - Ferret to collect the gold so I dont have to...
Rapid Fire might be good enough to deal with champs / rares (?)


For Single Target (Bosses - Hard Elites)

2 Generators + Marked for Death to Keep Hatred high...
Evasive Fire as my get the heck out of Dodge
Impale + Chemical Burn, Rapid Fire & Bola for some Hard-hitting DPS
Shadow Power for my OH NOES button

Your comments & thoughts greatly appreciated.

Cheers,

Do you know how the Nephalem Valor system works?

I didn't but do now. Thanks for the tip.

I'd been avoiding any D3 info since I didn't get into beta (except for the last 3 days anyways). And only recently started digging in as my excitement level is pretty high.

Looks like an important bit to have missed.

Cheers!

Glad to help. In terms of specializing, it should be fun to coordinate with your friends' builds, though.
