Extra attack speed is essential for sentries. For example 1.40 aps & 2500+ dmg is better than 1.10 aps & 2600+ dmg

Thundergod's Vigor, Haunt of Vaxo, Ancient Parthan Defenders, Kridershot are good complementary alternatives for this build.

P.S. :Ah you have already opt in for Kridershot? ^^ Anything based around Elemental arrow should definitely include Kridershot. I believe it is BiS for either meticilous lightning or any MR6 with 3 spenders.

Edit: Gratz btw. You have inspired me.

I say go for it. SOme are still obsessed with 2h xbows hitting hard, etc. but now anyone with some experience on 2.1 starts to realize that any setup including the MR6 bonus will improve remarkably with highest obtainable aps. And picking a bow (with good damage stats ofc) is one of best things to do for achieving this. In this case Unbound Bolt seems to be a good replacement for Manticore.

the weapon choice totally depends on if you will give in to laziness and just let the sentries do all the work, or if you still want to feel like you are doing something (sadly still sentries do all the work).

You can not get elemental bonus from rings or amulet because ideally you will sacrifice those for a legendary gem socket. So you are left with bracer, Etrayu bow, and (if you can manage without the bombardier's rucksack) the quiver with elemental bonus as options.

"xbows hit harder " is history, because bow's weapon speed will help you maintain higher sentry BP which you will need for running with 3 spenders, without having to prioritize AS on gear as much as you would have to on xbow.

Please remember, in the new endgame (greater rifts) your worst enemy is time

I'm very fond of the swiftness gem. With my 1.40as Kridershot, EA spam feels like rapid fire. It would be much efficient with dualwielding

I have been trying Kridershot and EA with lightning stun lately and I observed the same situation. You have to be actively using the ability with stun to keep the uptime of spawns. Your manual stuns (either vault/rattling roll or any shot with stun rune) will trigger it almost instantly, but if you lay back the ratio of sentries to trigger is too low.

I can also say that the MfD boost isn't as high as the calamity's..

I hear the footsteps of 20 sec CD

This depiction of a demon huntress was my entry for the Blizzard contest prior to release of RoS. Unfortunately it didn't make it through finals..
I just wished to share it with the DH class fans. Please feel free to comment..

This is the best gear setup I can come up with atm. I don't have a decent 2H/Quiver combo so I'm ok with Danetta Set. Besides farming better/new gear all I can really do is optimize enchanting. Keeping in mind the upcoming patch changes, could you please suggest a priority order for the enchnanting of these items?

my gear

I have several alternate gear but MR chest is missing.. and a RoRG..
I'll w8 until MR6 acquired, before doing smt silly anyway..

noob here - to make the OP dilemma more complicated;

-MR4 bonus + extra 2 wolfs from garwulf + t&t is it bad or good to go for +% companion damage rather than sentry damage? What/how big is the difference?

too perfect to be true

thx, will try your suggestions.

What about gems? Should I go emeralds all the way, or swap some of them with diamonds or amethysts?

about sharpshooter - when I drop it, paper dps goes halfway down (?), but not sure if I should care.

about ballistic - multishot and CA (with selected runes) seem to benefit from it (also Vengeance maybe), so aren't I losing some serious boost there? Besides grenades do not seem to be doing as great damage as multishot, and I generally spam it only when I'm out of both resources.

My Demon Hunter

I'm at a point, where hardly any upgrade shows up and I feel like I'm bound to sink my stuff on gem upgrades and enchants.

Curent build started by trying to copycat a fire CA build but ended up this way due to obtaining both pieces of Danetta's Hatred, and trying to make little tweaks to better get along with the heavily vault dependant playstyle. I know most "pros" despise this set, but I'm having great fun with them. I'm not a fan of using ai elements to cover my ass (like 5 pets+several sentries+followers, etc.as demonstrated by end gamers)

I don't have hatred starving issues. So although I have a Reaper's Wraps with good rolls including +%fire dmg, I use these bracers (which I'm trying to switch +%poison to +%fire but unlucky so far) for a little more dps.

I'm comfortable with T1, surviving T2, and dying a lot and killing elites take long ,in T3 and beyond atm.

I might have screwed up on the helm enchanting (wasn't aware of fire superiority by then)

Anyway, I'm open to any suggestions like what afflix to go after on which slot, what type of gems to upgrade, or build change, please don't spare any hatred ^^.
