Hi guys! I'm new to D3 and DH in general. My DH is still under level 30 but in order to prepare my play style for inferno, I would like to know a simple skill build I should use and how exactly I should be using each skill to be effective. DH's skills seem kind of random to me and I fail to see any strong synergies at the moment. Thanks!
lvl 33ish now, I really enjoy tearing bosses and hoards down with rapid fire, could anyone link me a guide or perhaps a char using a proven rapid fire build?
^Its pretty simple. Rapid fire bombardment is the best for farming, aoe damage. For single targets (like ubers) fire support is far superior. I've tested the kill speeds.
Keep your attack speed low so you can channel longer. Run bat companion for added hatred regen. Run punishment if you need to.
Cast gloom prior to channeling rapid fire and the 15% LS will stick as long as you don't stop the channel.
The key is you dont want to get interrupted as starting and stopping will waste your hatred and discipline (from having to recast gloom) quickly. So I'd recommend running higher ehp than normal demon hunters so you can tank anything without moving.
As far as complementary skills, you can run ballistics if you run fire support. Cull of the weak passive in conjunction with Caltrops - bait the trap is a nice synergy. Chakram - suriken cloud is a little nice bonus damage since it just hits while you channel. Night stalker is a requirement for any high mp DH.
