This is a pretty comprehensive list for S5, most of it should carry over to the next season.
I got some tips for you, i'm running this build too.
Drop your SoJ for either CoE or Elusive Ring (Wear one and cube one)
Change Vault rune to Rattling Roll and switch your Lacuni bracers to Ancient Parthan Defenders. ( If you feel like you have enough toughness without Ancient Parthan Defenders, use Strongarm Bracers for more damage, and use Vault to procc them )
Drop your Witching Hour and replace it with Chain of Shadows ( This belt is a must for this build ) You are going to vault like crazy using this build when hunting for elite packs, proccing Elusive Ring and your Strongarm's/Defender's.
Drop either Marked for Death or Wolf Companion for Fan of Knives - Bladed Armor, remember to keep the buff up at all times.
Drop Steady Aim, this passive is absolutely shit for this build since you are going to vault trough mobs and stand close to elites to make sure all 3 daggers from Impale - Ricochet is hitting one target. I would replace it with Leech since it works well with Shadow Power.
Change your cubed Leoric's Crown to Aquila Curiass. This will give you a 50% damage reduction when at full hatered, which is pretty damn awesome. If you have Dawn cubed and using Gogok of Swiftness and a Diamond in helm you only need ONE Cooldown Reduction roll on your gear to have full uptime on Vengeance. No need for leoric's.
Start leveling gems for your Caldesann's Despair's and enchant the gear that have all-around good rolls. More Dex is not just more damage since Dex increases your Armor aswell!
Here is my Profile, that's the build i'm currently running. Clearing GR80's solo in about 4-5 mins.
Also since you play EU, you can add me if you want, we can run some GR's together if you want gear faster. My tag is Thrashie#2864
Good luck and happy farming!
Assuming you played M6 /w frostfire build, gear is mostly the game, Tasker and Theo is no longer the best choice, it's either Cindercoat or Pride's Fall now.
Playstyle has changed a bit though, you don't drop sentries and hide anymore, for your sentries to fire your hatred spender, you need to shoot.
https://eu.battle.net/d3/en/profile/idarz-2575/hero/43771658 - my profile, you can see the build here (I recently came back too, need to craft better Arcane Barb, trying out Chakram + CA with Spines of Seething Hatred atm, seems fun.)
I'm trying an Impale build and while I do great damage, I'm terribly squishy. To the point that I can barely do 70-75 because I die so easily.
This is my character, any suggestions? I don't know what I'm doing wrong, I'd say that my gear is pretty good.
First of all, the math assumes they are all within yds so the area damage applies. Champions may or may not be worth the extra damage since there are only 4 or them. For every other kind of special mob, there is one hard mob to kill, and maybe or maybe not trash.
Cleared GR77 last night with this setup. (https://eu.battle.net/d3/en/profile/Spuda91-2129/hero/100939652) The Elusive ring helps a ton imo though I'm missing out on convention because of it. Right now I still had 6 to 8 mins time reserve and all GRs where done on the first try. But I'm expecting to hit the wall in early 80s.
And Vault a lot, don't spam it, but vault when they close up on you.
You can't really compare yourself to the DH's on the leaderboards. They have ALL ancients with +75-100 augments on their gear, It makes a huge difference in both damage and toughness. And being at +1000-1500 paragon also helps alot in damage and toughness.
I would start with gambling for ancient pieces that you lack and keep on grinding gems for augments.
This is my profile, just to back up my words.
Good luck and happy farming!
No problem https://eu.battle.net/d3/en/profile/Unbeliever-1244/hero/409876
I have not played for a while, but the Custom Engineering was only something I swapped in for a boss. You want blood vengeance, awareness, ambush or steady aim there depending on playstyle. I am also trying to swap to a physical build, so I have some sub-par jewelry and %fire bracers without vit/allres still.
It seems disappointing that the new set is impale based. But impale seems to be not so good even with the free set. here are the spreadsheets I used to help me lvl up fast and pick builds. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1sdWUjBqrnXc4nMTvc9G0onHCL1WY6XsF-avLsYOrmOM/htmlview?usp=sharing&sle=true# https://onedrive.live.com/view.aspx?resid=1A6FBBD663F33253!148&ithint=file%2cxlsx&app=Excel&authkey=!AIND1GS7C-D457k
I played with a full CDR build (50%+). Sentries ready in about a second, and companion came up every 14 seconds (so wolf dmg buff only down 4 seconds). Also spammed a lot of RoV and vengeance. But overall, it generally gave up too much damage for CDR. So the best balance between damage and CDR for me is between 25% and 35% CDR.
Best places for cooldown IMO are: 1) paragon points 10% 2) helm (diamond) 12.5% 3) shoulder 8% (dex/vit/CDR/sentry) like this http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=faa5mw&s=8#.U4UEd_ldXzg 4) rucksack quiver 8%
These would give you 38.5% CDR before diminishing returns hits.
you can also get CDR on rings, weapon, gloves, amulet, but I felt I was generally giving up too much CC, CD, vit, atkspd, etc. on those.
here's my build for reference. http://us.battle.net/d3/en/profile/Banzai-1665/hero/41324114
I know all that, i also know every thing nefe posted below here. I am not asking for those things, i am asking for any insights on the value of being able to fire more shots.

https://eu.battle.net/d3/en/profile/Pejoos-2326/hero/99939301 I'm playing M4N6 build and trying to get to GR100. Managed to do 97 in +- 14 mins. Are any of my items worth augmenting? I'd like to know what should I focus on / what to reroll to get to GR100. Thanks in advance
https://eu.battle.net/d3/en/profile/Mazi7ps-2589/hero/101766260
I know what I'm missing.
20% Fire on Hellfire On Gloves CD instead Vitality
That way I can hopefully get F+R with CHD/CHC and AD.
Point taken, although movement speed is reduced by lot, so I will be using this only for 80's under 4 mins since it works even with this gear, otherwise I will use my old weird one for t13.
Hi, just started DH this season and loving it. Started with Natalya's RoV build and progressed on to Marauders grenades. I've got the full suggested list of gear and now want to know what I should reroll or aim to replace with bloodshards etc. Thanks!
https://eu.battle.net/d3/en/profile/Kris0r-2613/hero/101964459
Basicaly what Unres7 said, I run this: https://eu.battle.net/d3/en/profile/Spuda91-2129/hero/100939652
got to say, I found that best defense here is offense. Even switched diamonds for emeralds in armor sockets and its fine. Cleared 92 yesterday on first try. Seems to me that im starting to lack in the damage department a bit once again though... 95 could be possible with some fishing.
Gratz on the Hellfire and Gloves! they are gorgeous :D
Could someone take a look at my demon hunter (multishot) and tell me, what to focus on next? I did clear GR70 solo and the character is doing really good in T13 etc.
Thank you!

Just looking at:
https://eu.battle.net/d3/en/class/demon-hunter/active/shadow-power
it says "life per hit for 5 seconds". I wonder if there is a bug. I usually turn on shadow power when I start a grift, and only re-enable it if I die. My understanding is that I only need to enable it once, and once enabled, it'll stay active (with all runes). I'm guessing that that is not the case, and either I'm wrong in my assumption, or there's a bug and LPH only works for 5 seconds from activating shadow power (which means I'd have to activate it every bloody 5 well seconds, which is a p.i.t.a). Remember, I'm on console, so I don't have the auto numlock cheat to auto cast skills.
Hello.
First thing is I would like to improve my setup. Can I apply Caldesann gems on all items or I need to replace some for better? I know I should look for amulet, wrists with buff to lightings and head with impale buff. For this moment I am 90% sure that I can safely improve the hands, the shoulders and the belt.
For now GR82 solo is max what I can do.
Second thing is I get primal belt and cant reroll %L to RAE. There is no possibility to choose. This is bug or what? If no, then I stay with acient belt. Same thing with Legs, I cant roll RAE instead of armor.
Here is screnshots of legs and belt witch I cant roll stats for RAE. http://imgur.com/a/PrhgL

P.S. Sorry for grammar.
Hey guys just got my 70 DH in Seasonal HC.
Build
I think i want the Unhallowed Essence build. Thats my first DH so i have no clue about builds, but i almost have a Unhallowed Essence set, so i guess i'll go with it.

Paragon
Just got my 70 so there nothing to show.
Goals
Well i am playing with Monk, so i guess we wiil be trying to push some Grifts and stuff like that. Not top 100 of course.
Hello, I've been using the unhalowed essence grenades buid this season, and and currently i've done GR65, I believe I can do more, but I wanted to know if I should change something on my build: https://eu.battle.net/d3/en/profile/Rujon-2739/hero/97005637
I'm not on my PC right now so I can't show my paragon points, but I invested most of them on CR, Resist and area damage. Thanks!
I know the thread is old now, but would you take a look at my DH? :-)
https://eu.battle.net/d3/en/profile/durader-2190/hero/97584411
I want to push higher. I've done 73 I think. Don't mind all the emeralds. I change those for diamonds when pushing. I'm also leveling Gorgok, so I can BotP for that.
I also probably made some rerolling mistakes on items, since I'm an idiot. :-) Luckily I don't have great items to ruin yet.
What do you think I should focus on upgrading, and what is the best way to go about it?
Hey would you take a look at my build aswell? I did a grift 80, can do abit higher if i get a good rift.. Not sure what to farm for next.. Heres my build https://eu.battle.net/d3/en/profile/SlaonXD-2480/hero/97756885
Armory hasnt updated since last time i played. Im using these strong arms https://puu.sh/x3exK/d79e929044.jpg and im using diamonds in my gear instead of green gems
Profile, https://eu.battle.net/d3/en/profile/paul-1329/hero/87120208
I was really quite lucky with the jewellery this season, but shoulders and quiver both lack a DPS stat. The two 5% attack rolls aren't ideal either, but Pain Enhancer kinda makes up for that much of the time.
hey guys I'm loving the UE Multishot build I got going right now https://eu.battle.net/d3/en/profile/Milkastier-2896/hero/97063103
making a truckton of damage but am dying really really easily, like 1 or 2 hits (talking gr 55, haven't tried higher diffs). Was wondering what I could/should reroll/switch gems in order to gain toughness without sacrificing too much damage here is the album to the paragons and some deets: http://imgur.com/a/4MqOo thanks in advance for the advice!
I'd recommend 100% AD and a better Dagger, I did Grift 87 last season with it. Can no longer elite hunt but need to kill big piles of trash. You may lasoneed a better dagger, one with over 3k dps. Did HC 80 just now. Shitty grift floors but still Managed it with ease; Here is my gear; https://eu.battle.net/d3/en/profile/Nackskott-2183/hero/97259686
Will have to look up any impale builds tbh, last few seasons I played different classes.
My gear isn't even bad per se, it's just.. Not working :/
Hey, I recently finished the impale set and was wondering if you guys could help me figure out which items i should be looking to upgrade or some stats to maybe change around. Currently at 74GR and climbing with what I have now.
https://eu.battle.net/d3/en/profile/Fantasy-2423/hero/96500146
Not sure if anybody still reads this but here goes:
Just started playing again and using my DH:
https://eu.battle.net/d3/en/profile/MMA-2636/hero/67076381
Currently farming t13 rifts and some greater rifts 45-55, hoping to get to torment 70 solo soon. My build is kind of wishy-washy, have been looking for some good ones but I don't really wanna go impale, so probably something around multi shot and or sentries will be the way to go. I got a good bit of items in my vault so I'm kind of flexible when it comes to swapping to other sets and so on.
Got 11,7kk toughness at the moment but I'm basically getting killed by anything that get's to me so I gotta figure something out in that regard. Not too attached to anything equipment/skill wise but I want it to feel like a hunter build
I'm currently having fun with the Impale DH, but I haven't played much D3 in general before this season (where I started late). Is there some general advice or specific mistakes with rolls I made, besides getting better/ancient gear?
Currently I can clear in the 70-75 range depending on the rifts, having some difficulties clearing 77 though
https://eu.battle.net/d3/en/profile/Nezyrael-2980/hero/94557232
Paragon are spent with movement to cap, remaining points in dex
Offense: CC, CHD and AS max, remaining points CDR
Defense: Vita, armor, life max, remaining points regen
Utility: Area DMG, Ressource Cost, Life max, remaining points goldfind
I can deliver ingame screenshots if you think its necessary later today
P.S.: Havent been able to roll a socket into compass rose in around 30-40 tries, thats why I still run the SoJ
I think it's not possible to GR80 with rocket marauder without high paragon, caldesann everything to ~100, etc. Stuck on gr77 with primal manticore, mostly ancient, paragon 750, mostly caldesanned (~50-70), and I don't see where I can find additional ~1.5 dmg multiplier for gr80. My profile https://eu.battle.net/d3/en/profile/Vafthrudnir-2527/hero/93161167
I just recently barely managed to complete GR70 with my character (~14:30, and only because I got some lucky shrines), I just really wanted access to Primal Ancients.
I can comfortably clear Torment 13/GR60 in 5 to 6 minutes, but the run to GR70 was dicey, quite a few deaths along the way, and damage was lacking as well. I know my gear is kinda... lacking still. Currently working on finding me a Compass Rose, which for some reason has eluded me all season so far, as well as spending any extra Death's Breaths on cubing up daggers for a better Karlei's. Anything else I should be focusing on?
https://eu.battle.net/d3/en/profile/Stopokingme-2546/hero/93669857
/update Found me a Compass Rose, which kinda let me snowball into a couple more upgrades, and now I'm comfortably speed farming GR 65. Still looking for a better Karlei, but the cube seems to be intent on only giving me Ancient versions of the other dagger. All my bloodshards are currently going towards a better quiver, or should I shift my attention elsewhere? TIA.
https://eu.battle.net/d3/en/profile/Nackskott-2183/hero/93379498 Im going to push 82 grift HC soon, any opinions? I haven't played much DH on HC. I know some enchants could be improved so no need to mention that. Same goes for leg. gems in ancient gear.
http://imgur.com/a/BXKkf Stats+Para points
I recently saw a N6/M4 build here and tried it with the items I had in my stash, my toughness is high enough for me but I'm missing some damage. I know I could squeeze out a bit with better stats on items but first I Need to choose some legendary gems, so which do you recommend?

I know that my character is pretty week at the moment only just got all the items for an Imaple build!! Here is the character https://eu.battle.net/d3/en/profile/Johaa-2560/hero/88955622
my main problem is that i seem to have to use seethe for vengeance as i keep running out of hatred often enough to need it and when i do i die quite quickly on GR55.
I know that most things need to change but what should i change to help out with this hatred stuff ?
https://eu.battle.net/d3/en/profile/Lycon-2824/hero/78889265 didnt know that! heres my profile, hope you can help! Edit: how should I build my follower? Does he make any difference at all? And wich follower should I get?
Hi everyone, I'm new to Diablo III just started a few weeks ago and really got going a few days ago where I went and farmed as much as I could. I'm looking for tips and insight on what to do and how to improve my character. Here it is :
https://eu.battle.net/d3/en/profile/Ailone-2720/hero/92216693
I've been trying to farm Torment X today but felt a bit underpowered from times to times and every time against Malthael and Belial. I'm pretty sure I made mistake with my reroll on my stuff and have been keeping one piece of every set and ancient legendary item I got.
I would like advice on what to look for for my stuff and what to do late game. I've been farming adventure mode quest and rift but am not sure if there is something better to go for or not.
Thanks for the help!
Nice guide, some pretty helpful stuff there.
I just cleared GR90 (shared first place with someone else! 11:17 :D)
I want to go higher though.. I have full ancient and I'm working on augments but I don't know where else to go from here.
https://eu.battle.net/d3/en/profile/Pretzel-21294/hero/91254193
Here's my character. Any advice on what I should upgrade/re-roll/gamble for?
I cleared an 85 now but looking at my gear I would expect a little more. I see a bunch of different passive setups and don't really know whats best. Also powerful or pain enhancer?
https://eu.battle.net/d3/en/profile/padawan3201-2338/hero/91249903
Do you guys think that a multishot build is viable for GR70?
I'd say that my gear looks rather similar to that of m4492. My gems are rather low (just 25), but I've got an ancient Yang's Recurve, and that's why I am running multishot-arsenal. I don't have focus/restraint yet, so I am using traveler's pledge/compass rose and an elusive ring.
I just completed a GR65, but there wasn't too much time left. Just wondering if I should keep pushing for GR70 with that setup or wait for better gear.
/edit https://eu.battle.net/d3/en/profile/Sluggy-2220/hero/91408360 This is my toon. Obviously I still need to upgrade all gems to max quality (didn't find enough gems yet) and upgrade the legendary gems. And find f/r. Still, do you think GR70 is possible like this?
Hi,
I decided to make a small update to the current situation of my build. After some extensive farm I ended up getting some repetes of Marauder's set items and I reforged those set items to get the full set.
Right now I have this: https://eu.battle.net/d3/en/profile/AMMO-2661/hero/86910112
Does anyone have any more tips to improve? I was playing on T1, now I'm on T4 and doing GR's 30 (past this I cannot complete them on time, always dying).
Guys, thank you ever so much. This is what I did, and I managed to go through T10 with ease. Which is more than enough for my son, since he normally plays on the very first 3 difficulties. I forgot to mention, that it had to be the lighning rune in Rapid Fire, because it looks so cool ;-)
Here is the char: Demonhunter Rapid Fire
Profile: https://eu.battle.net/d3/en/profile/NNNAAAMMM-2626/hero/78112791
Just managed to get past grift65, but really feel like I am lacking damage somehow... I found an Ancient Yang's but it wasn't much better than mine, and generally poor stats (no CDR either).
Looking to push into 70s, would appreciate any feedback on gear!
I got some things for you. First off what is your goal? There are many things a Supp. DH can do.
1) Globe Spawn
2) Pull Mobs (in case no Monk is present)
3) Bring only buffs to the party en pick up globes (usually no RG runs)
I myself have a Pull Support DH since i have no Monks in my clan/friend lists. This works very well with LoN Saders which i play with mostly. See: https://eu.battle.net/d3/en/profile/Neles-2481/hero/75077317
You might want to consider the following: Use 4p UE for 60% DR and disc. regain. Drop M2. Pets keep mobs busy making them harder to group.
You don't want to use vengeance. Vengeance doesn't give your party any boost, and you don't need the toughness anyways.
You seem to be using the supp dh globe spawn. Wudi made a great guide on this. http://www.diablofans.com/builds/72750-standard-support-dh-4man-speeds-pushing You should change you jewel cube. The amulet only works if you kill stuff, since your support you'll be lucky to get a kill so it's useless 99,9% of the time. Change it to oculus or some party buffing ring/amulet.
If you keep the M2 change your belt ASAP. 8.3% is to low.
Overall i'd say you could win more with better rolled non-ancients than the crappy rolls om most items now. Prioritize: Vit/Life%/CDR/CHC/AR/Armor.
Hope this helps. If you want to know more just ask :)
Should I gift my ancient Karlei's? https://eu.battle.net/d3/en/profile/Leif-2791/hero/71731342 and what should I roll the socket into? I have only one gift this far and this spec is not endgame(?) (Sry not able to screenshot it from my phone)
Also, any tips on what to gamble for is appreciated as Im a noob with DH :-)
Hey guys, i've been wanting to know more about natalya so i made the switch from UE to Lightning Nats. My gear is ok i guees, but i cannot seem to clear any GR60+ fast enough. I noticed i'm almost not dying anymore compared to UE where you're squishy as hell. Have both CoE and Unity as cube options, not sure though which one i like more.
Profile: https://eu.battle.net/d3/en/profile/Neles-2481/hero/64581262
Relevant ingame stats (i can think of atm):
APS: 1.99
CDR: 46%
CHC: 51%
CHD: 531%
Any tips regarding to gear/playstyle (i'm guessing i lack the latter) are welcome :)
Hello:
Profile: https://eu.battle.net/d3/en/profile/Rujon-2739/hero/67429563
I'm following this build: http://www.icy-veins.com/d3/demon-hunter-multishot-fire-build-and-yangs-recurve-patch-2-3
I do GR 40 just fine, but struggle to do 45, anything i can do to improve my toon, or should i keep on farming better gear?
Thanks
Right now i'm running Nats to clear GR. Haven't tried solo yet. Strong arms with RoV Stampede seems to do pretty awesome. Have high CDR so you can RoV more since that's your source of damage, so I'm running CDR on few items, paragon, and gogok and it's got a very short cooldown Calamity is good for group rifts, i'm still looking for a good offhand there (balefire probably since I run rocket storm), but the main thing is that RoV feeds off your main hand (left) weapon damage, so having an ancient there is better. Basically what I'm doing is RoV, strafe and then shoot EF in between some distances for the hatred (and it shaves a lot of time off Rov) and repeat. If I have good distance the RoV should clear and push things back most of the time esp. in narrow levels. I can run with you some GR if you are in EU. My prof https://eu.battle.net/d3/en/profile/aeryxz-2965/hero/58706796
No i dont. I used ancient dandettas spite and non-ancient nat's slayer in OH. I only had around 700k damage, but my rain was able to crit 1500-2500 mil, which is how you literally instafuck elite packs.
The key is learning how to play the build, and to keep up your speed and make sure your strafe is hitting shit 24/7 so you can keep up the rain of vengeance as much as possible. Strafing without hitting wont lower the cooldown on your rain.
https://eu.battle.net/d3/en/profile/wallz-2968/hero/58725512 Im not using that build right now because i only use it when i solo T6, its lacking quite a bit in a higher grift or a group imo. I did run it with focus & restraint for a while, but later on i chose to use RoRG instead, but both ways definately worked.
I don't get it either. I recently switched to a multishot/arsenal build thinking I'll be able to rush trough T6 rifts but I am so far from one-shotting anything.
Trash mobs require 5-7 multishots while elite require a lot more. I must do something wrong...

Suggestions for upgrades
What suggestions would you guys give to increase the overall dmg, e.g. should I switch out the Etrayu, the amulet etc.? Any suggestions are welcome. I understand that there is no point in preparing for the 2.1.2 patch because of all the new ancient leg items. Is this correct?
Here is my profile: https://eu.battle.net/d3/en/profile/Prometheus-1555/hero/14696908

Desired: I'm really not sure (see the Problem below)
Paragon: Core: Dex 30 points Off: Attack Speed 30 Def: Life Regen 30 Ut: Gold Find 30
Images showing stats / stash: https://cloudup.com/c6QkFg7XkIQ
Problem - Torment 2 is challenging at times but not impossible. But I have a problem now with Grifts at 13 or over. I completed 12 in 13:14 but cannot complete 13 or 14. I seem to have hit a wall.
I spent some time grabbing gold so I could upgrade emeralds and afford a heap of enchants. (So the Ut Paragon spend I'll switch to anything)
I'm not sure if Rubies would help (I have tried but feel Emeralds work better), I have no RGR (yet) and the only full set I have is the Crimson.
Any pointers would be very welcome. Thanks!
