Okay, so with the new attention focused on Sever and its mechanics, and now that we've lost what was apparently the only viable melee weapon for this class (and yes, I get it that we're supposed to be ranged. once a black sheep, always a black sheep i guess), I feel even more compelled to get the community's feedback on what could be done to create a viable t6 melee demon hunter. I'm not looking to clear GR50+; I just want to try something different. I'm hoping this thread will start a dialogue toward some novel, and ultimately utilitarian build options for those of us who want to play our way - not the way we're told we have to play (by the devs, by the streamers, or anybody else).
I appreciate your feedback and am looking forward to your thoughts.
With the new Natalya 6set bonus(%400damage after RoV)you could try FoK or trap build coupled with shuriken cloud maybe?
I am very much looking forward to moving away from M6. Unfortunately, RoV requires a bow so I think its a no-go. Good thought though. I am not on PTR so I haven't had the luxury of trying any of the new items. Is there anything in 2.2 that might have an impact?
Just as an aside, and another thing on my wishlist of melee DH, I wish we had an off-hand we could use other than a shield when equipping a melee weapon. I mean, we have a bombardier's rucksack. what part of that name implies arrows? A rucksack isn't a quiver! (yes, i know it is a quiver in-game but I'm just using it as an example).

I get T6 is easymode - i'm just using it in the old "T6 viable" unit of measure. Forgive me, lets say GR35 viable. Which brings me to my next point...

Nice! Hope they don't change something before it releases.
