I think choice in weapon boils down to situation: In groups, Leonine's is preferable because that sucking mobs in can be huge and allows everyone else to deeps harder.
In solo play, Buriza might also become excellent.
Thanks for the idea about caltrops... I've personally never used the skill, but it would be a good choice, especially if it gives chc.
Completely correct. Polar Station is for CC for bane of the trapped, though with the set bonus reducing damage from enemies within 20 yards, might not need it. Not sure what to replace it with though.
Companion is for the burst, which I tend to keep on cooldown anyway. That burst can be the difference between life and death. (Boar is what I use when I feel like I need more toughness... IMO, almost a required skill for any DH build)
To Metju: Bane of the Trapped has such a nice damage to it though... But Zei's also does provide some CC with that lvl 25 bonus. I'd have to farm it up, which shouldn't be *too* difficult. Simp. Strength has to be there as well as Bane of the Powerful. Between the other two, needs some testing. My issue with prep-punishment is that it uses discipline in favor of hate... and discipline needs to be as high as possible for this build due to the set bonus.
I'm looking forward to trying this build out, nevertheless. Seems like a much friendlier build compared to what M6 will likely be... (that is, hugely hate wasting)
So, this is my hypothetical build, based on the couple of sets they showed at Blizzcon...
Please understand, I'm not really used to theorycrafting and this is my first foray into it.
The purpose of this build is quick T6/uber runs, not necessarily high GR.
This build is based entirely on the Bola with random multishot barrages.
Required items: Leonine Bow, Emimei's Duffel, RRG, Depth Diggers, the new set. (Anything with +disc is recommended)
Gems: Simplicity, Trapped, Bane of the Powerful
Passives: Cull the Weak, Archery, NightStalker, Awareness
Actives: Bolas - Iminent Doom,
Multishot - Arsenal
Companion - Wolf
Smoke Screen/Tumble (Personal preference)
Sentry - Polar Station
CA - LFB
Pros: Bolas are doing stupid damage, multishot screen clears beautifully
Cons: Gotta be closer to targets than M6, plus you might have issues with boss killing. (Not so much elite killing, but RG killing)
Thoughts?
(Apologies if this has been posted hundreds of times before, but this is my first foray into it, and it seems like at least a fun build that keeps you involved and not so passive)

Ugh. Can't wait for this season already!
