Hey guys, today I show a cold Hungering Arrow generator build using the Unhallowed Essence set. With the ability to cube Buriza in patch 2.3, we can finally get some serious pierces on a generator. Although I haven't pushed too far, I did clear G53 pretty easily with upwards of 4B crits after multiple pierces. In addition, you have a ton of damage mitigation and well over 50k Life on Hit with the new Leech passive, making this the 'DH facetank' build. Enjoy & discuss!
As for the build itself in the 2.3 optic: Bane of the Stricken looks another "trapped-level" OP gem, and i assume BoTT + BoTS will be an awesome combo. I assume also that Iceblink would work better in solo to have a reliable slow effect; In party if you have someone already providing it Simplicity wins easily (and i'm not actually sure if Iceblink > Simplicity in solo).
Stricken is pretty good in high GR (gives you '2 minute RG kill'), but does rely on high attack speed and is utterly useless for the rest of the rift, especially since in high GR you skip almost all elites anyway, it takes (roughly) 15s for Stricken to overtake something like Taeguk (which offers defense as well), and doesn't do anything for speed farming since stuff dies so fast anyway. I think BotT is still more 'OP' because it's always applicable, no matter the situation.

Did you give credit to Joking101 who created this build?
Cannot look at the video right now, but here's the thread link.

I suppose credit is due to the work of Joking101.
