VERY IMPORTANT NOTES
Spender!? Anyone who has leveled up a DH will know that choosing a good spender is key. PERSONALLY, there's only three choices:

  1. Multishot - Fire at Will, Windchill and eventually Arsenal are all good choices for Mshot.
  2. Chakram - Razor Disk, Twin Chakram: For those that do not like Mshot, it's actually quite good.
  3. Elemental Arrow - Ball Lightning, Frost Arrow: This is also good.

Ultimately I PERSONALLY PREFER Multishot > Ball Lightning = Razor Disk in that order. Feel free to experiment.


As you progress, keep note:

    • Hungering Arrow - Serrated Arrow can be changed to any "Hatred+7" rune ultimately being replaced by Evasive Fire - Focus.
    • Once you unlock Ballistics, you may opt to use that and change your Multishot rune to Arsenal.
    • Spitfire Turret is the best "utility" "anti-elite" skill for me. Other choices are -
      • Marked for Death - while grinding high density maps.
      • Fan of Knives - Pinpoint Accuracy: A powerful anti-elite tool.

Why I chose Spitfire Turret? I like Spitfire over the other choices for many reasons. MfD seems like overkill, it's my second choice... I don't know some thing just doesn't seem right for me there. FoK -Pinpoint seems to "miss" sometimes and some elites are too fidgety to tag them all with. Spitfire Turret is great for all the scenarios, while also EXCELLING in lengthy boss-fights!
