T16 Speedfarm Version - https://www.diablofans.com/builds/104777-ue-captain-crimson-multishot-demon-hunter-season


Introduction

Over the last few seasons, people have requested that I make a guide for speedfarming Greater Rifts with Unhallowed Essence Multishot. Now that there are a few new powers introduced in Patch 2.6.6 to refine the build, the time has come to produce that guide! This build is particularly good for solo Demon Hunters that are looking to speed mid-tier Greater Rift content (90 to mid 100s) for fast gem leveling and decent experience. Once you get one of the better pylons for the build, things particularly accelerate and you should get average clears in the 2.5 minute mark.


Why I Use What I Use & Gearing Options

In my testing (see the video below), I simulated being decently geared by removing nearly all of my Paragon from Dexterity except what you would have at Paragon 800. I still had good pieces with augments on them, so it landed me with around 12,000 Dexterity and I also still benefited from some high level gems. The point is to showcase that even before you get to a higher Paragon level or have amazing gear, you can still take great advantage of the build and your speed clears will only go higher/get better as you further gear your Demon Hunter out.


The first choice comes in the amulet slot. Traditionally, you would use a Hellfire Amulet since Demon Hunters have great passives, but both Flavor of Time and Squirt's Necklace have very awesome powers for Multishot now. In my testing, I found Squirt's to be a bit inconsistent. It was great when it was active, but you'll be surprised by how often you get hit by things if you're not playing carefully and playing carefully is pretty counter to speedfarming. You want to be aggressive and blitz through the GRs, so I prefer Flavor of Time currently. Good luck finding a well-rolled one! If you get even a decent one, it also helps you meet your 37% CDR requirement for 100% uptime on Vengeance with a Dawn in the weapon slot of Kanai's Cube.


For bracers, I think the choice that will consistently produce the fastest GR clears will be Nemesis Bracers. You already want to see pylons because of your Flavor of Time, so this makes them doubly rewarding. If you find your defense to be lacking, however, you can opt to use Wraps of Clarity instead. The reworked Captain Crimson's should help you feel tankier in general though, so I think you only need one more source of damage reduction, which is what the Visage of Gunes in the armor slot of Kanai's Cube takes care of. It is worth noting though that if you find yourself not being able to manage your Hatred well, what you can do is put Cindercoat in your Cube. This essentially grants you near infinite Hatred.


For passives, I would go for the four I equipped above. However, if you're playing Hardcore, you may want to substitute Ambush for Awareness.


Put Flawless Royal Diamonds in your chest, pants, and helm and a Flawless Royal Emerald in your weapon.


Make sure you have Max Discipline rolls for secondaries on your Cloak, Quiver, and Bow.


Everything else, including CDR requirements and ideal affixes, should be self-explanatory or further explained in the video below! Good luck in
