UE vs Natalya's Comparison
Wudijo has made an interesting comperison between the two more popular DH sets, the Unhallowed Essence and Natalya's Vengeance, talking about their differences and then showcasing some of their runs. Check it out!
Hey everyone,
since I got quite a couple of questions about this on my stream lately, I decided to record this guide to speedrunning lower GRs as a DH. It's a little demonstration of the advantages and disadvantages of the two Demon Hunter sets Unhallowed Essence and Natalya's Vengeance and how they compare in Tier 45. I go over the two different setups including skill, gem and item choices, compare the two sets to one another and also show 4 runs of each set in different group setups along with some commentary.
TL;DW - Both sets are almost equally strong and shine in different group compositions. For UE, mastering survival is key, while for N6 mastering damage (RoV cycle and Crashing Rain) is. When running with only 2 dps classes, UE is preferred because it brings better RG damage, when running with 2 DHs specifically, having one of each seems optimal. It's generally a good idea to stack some vitality on items to avoid deaths, and to run a difficulty that allows ~2.5 minutes clears on average.
Cheers,
wudijo

Posted Jun 6, 2015Non-palm Monks bring a lot more damage buffs, also if you aim for 2-2.5min runs, appyling the palm and blowing them up requires too much time. With 2 strong dps classes there's no need for that, and as I said in the video: The most efficient setup I have found so far is Barb Leech Monk Leech Crus UE (with N6 being maybe 10sec behind on average), and we regularly clear 46-47 in 2 minutes. Going much higher is not recommended for different reasons anyway.

Posted Jun 6, 2015True, EP monk can still be very good for most groups. Maybe you can take is as something like a goal to work towards then.
Other than that, Avoid just being Avoid I guess.^^
