I have decided to play as the Demon Hunter as my first character and because i only play hardcore i designed my build around having ways to stay alive but also deal damage.
I took smoke screen with the hatred gain because it will give a quick getaway and also a way to rebuild hatred for little cost and effort. Preparation with the life gain is an obvious, plus combined with smoke screen runed for hatred regen it is a free supply of both resources. Vault i feel is necessary as an HC player because getting corned is always a bad thing. I coupled that with the obsidian rune for some Discipline based damage. As my Hatred based attacks i grabbed Evasive Fire with the lightning damage and disciple cost removed because being able to have a free getaway whilst still dealing damage is just plain sick. Multi-shot with the damage increased is an obvious for the AoE destruction, and Impale with Crit is just a single target bomb.
For my passives i went with a Crit based build, mostly because i am interested to see the Crit mechanic in the game more utilized than it was in D2. I plan on using the One-Handed X-Bows mostly just for the badassery involved. Brooding, seems like one of the best HC passives if coupled with smoke screen. It gives a quick getaway plus a head start on health regen if there aren't any health globes to go around.
Id like to hear what you all think and hurry up Beta for the public.
Edit: Updated for the change in Hatred regen mechanic
