Build Guide

2) Vanishing Powder has been tested in the PTR by many professionals and top DH players

3) I'd like to mix in Preparation Invigoration or perhaps the Focused Mind, so far will be testing this style to mimic the "CM Wiz of Carpel Tunnel spamming 1,3,2, 1,3,2 .... way of playing this variation of the "GoD DH" build that everyone on the Top Leaderboards is playing and geared for

Also, I don't enjoy Hungering Arrow on Left Click, the example being similar to the way "the Monk Wave of Light skill was placed on the Left Click by definition (aside from fighting RG for damage boosted by Kyroshiro's Blade)"

Bane of the Trapped for below GR100s when you're doing speed runs already.

While Stricken additionally and especially helps with the fight against the Rift Guardian.

In the above video of Trio-GR124, watch from Start to about 8 minutes 30 seconds (Big Note: We did not use the Seasonal Theme and slightly missed the finish, also counting how many times my friends ripped, obviously that did not help the situation)

Here's the most important bit is around the 4 minute ++ to 8 minute 30 seconds) where I was asking the other two party members / good friends of mine to go ahead,

Yes the beginning had a still-upgrading ZMonk, and another amazing Demon Hunter but the part where I told them to move on ahead is how this Smoke Screen and some Vaulting helps, while one would think that defensively this is not viable without either Shadow Power, or Companion or Fan of Knives with Numbing Traps; this is showing GR 124 in the approximately 2 minutes where I asked them to move on ahead.
