Mortal enemy just seem such a superb rune with rapid fire. To be honest i don't think that every hit will give you a 3 hatred, since that would make rapid fire pretty much self sustainable, but it's still probably has good synergy with it.
Just a btw note, people seem to make a huge deal about Steady Aim's 10 yard radius thingy. Radius isn't nearly the same in this game than it was in D2. Say, in D2 you get +10 yards to your Corpse Explosion (lvl1 -> ~lvl30), it made HUGE difference on how the skill works given that it easily reached enemies that are out of screen. On D3 however, the 10 radius is REALLY tiny, the Steady Aim -dangerzone isn't even 1/4th of the screen. Steady Aim buff should be up always with basic kiting skills and clever usage of Vault imo
Still can't decide for sure, but I'm playing with the below idea:

Ahhh i see it know, missed the whole thing you talked about. I'm such a retard.

Maby Strafe can be replaced bye Multishot but i dont know.
What would be best for PVE, Strafe or MS ?
10 yards seems to be just a bit more than melee range, no?
Yep, it's not much more than melee range.
I think melee range is around 8 yards so yeah. There was good screenshot where there were circles drawn that indicated different ranges.
Something a bit different I just threw together quickly, a hybrid crit build and disc generation build.

+Crit from hbows (archery) and bait the trap, standard stuff. Making the most out of that crit with spray of teeth and lighting bolts, as well as the Nightstalker passive.
On top of nightstalker, there is a bunch of additional resource gens:
1)Bola Shot's bitter pill is what you spam when you're low on hate AND disc
2)Hungering Arrow's Spray of Teeth is what you spam when you're low on hate but high on disc
3)Multishot Suprression fire is what you spam when you're high on hate but low on disc
There is also an emphasis on getting health globes (gear with +chance of globes dropping). Elemental Arrow's lighting bolts are used on packs of mobs surrounding health globes (to stun a bunch of them), making it safer to vault in and out, doing damage on the way (trail of cinders), and getting extra hatred to drop a multishot. Ideally you want to vault so that you pick up the globe half way along the vault, and come out on the other side of the mobs in safety, rather than having to use multiple vaults. In this way you can imaging having a big mass of mobs that youre mowing down and vaulting through constantly to heal and regen hate/disc (although in practice mobs wont be all packed together in a nice ball like that).
The overall idea is to have maximum control over your hatred/disc pools, and to be able to keep them both high while dishing out respectable damage and CC.
Only just started playing around with builds so I would appreciate some constructive feedback on the one I have been using (this is strictly for solo play). Having read some other threads on this site, I think I need to replace at least Bola Shot, but probably some others.

I am at level 48, on Nightmare mode Act 2 and having no problems at the moment with this build so it's just about optimising really.
The idea behind the build is to generate a lot of hatred via the Bat Companion and the Night Bane rune and then use Impale to keep things stunned and kill them quickly. Multi-shot with hatred cost reduction is my AoE, although I have read some good things about EA-Ball Lightning so will try that too. I have stacked a lot of Vitality (almost 1:1 ratio with Dexterity) and use Shadow Power to regenerate additional life - this is to avoid the need to keep my distance from mobs (hence no Caltrops... I just stand and fire, using Vault to escape if needed). So it's almost a tanking-hunter build.
Vault with Rattling Roll is probably the only skill + rune that I refuse to change as it is simply fun. Thanks for any ideas!
