(NEXT GUIDE: Hand of Ytar Monk)

Merry, happy, wonderful year of new things and maybe presents! I'm back with another guide! If you missed my last guide for a Weapon Throw Barbarian, you can find it here:

Thread | Preview | Build Guide

This next guide is the surprisingly tanky Bola Shot build. It mitigates the delay of Bola Shot and Spike Trap by emphasizing survivability in the higher MP levels. Vault with Trail of Cinders and Smoke Screen with Choking Gas offer mobility/survivability while providing additional damage and healing with LoH and/or LS.

Feedback and/or criticism is welcomed and appreciated

Finally someone playing a build that is similar to mine.. AND ACTUALLY MADE A GUIDE

Such a relief that I have something to refer to when I try to persuade people how good spike trap + echoing blast is.
Good work.

[MistahNiceGuy]

Definitely looks interesting. Will have to test this out.

I used to do a different Bola Shot build were in I immediately shoot Impale at the Bola Shot target to immediately make the explosion.

Can you do a close-combat DH guide next? My DH is almost 60 and I've been wondering what weird build am I going to give it. I'm hovering between a Ninja DH that uses Shuriken's and Knives or a Custom Engineer DH (a build I saw here on the site fergot who made the guide).

The next guide is the Multi-Strafe Demon Hunter (Multishot + Strafe), but the build after that is likely to be similar to what you're lookin' for. I've had  lot of requests for pure knives/traps.

Nice guide, especially how you gave reasoning for the pros and cons and balancing. E.g. 2h crossbow's trade offs vs. 1 handed crossbow.

I was concerned adding all that info might bog down the viewer, but it seems to be one of the more well-received portions of my guides. Glad I was mistaken
