Diablo 3 - Demon Hunter Best Fire Build - The Flamethrower (RoS Patch 2.1.2

[@AdamTheGreat1986]

this is my favorite build so far.

[@JHowGaming]

IAteMyRedCrayons Me too, by far. I love the change and the fire. The look and feel of it is what has me running with this almost all the time right now.

[@jpcosido]

Thanks for this guide man. I have almost all the gears you have in this build except for the witching hour. I tried it out today and its melting almost everything in its path.

[@JHowGaming]

John Philipp Cosido Glad to hear it's working well for you! Thanks for taking the time out to let me know it works. And if it makes you feel any better, I was level 500-something paragon before I got my first Witching Hour. Never had one pre-RoS either.

[@jpcosido]

JHow Gaming I stopped playing this game for quite a while and I'm still at paragon 378 and I just got my witching hour 2 nights ago.

[@JHowGaming]

Dang, nice. A good roll I hope. Guess they wanted to reward you for coming back lol

[@jpcosido]

Yup it was a good roll. I think it was not the best but it was a good roll especially how rare this thing drops.

[@JHowGaming]

Yeah, you're telling me. 1 drop for me in I don't want to say how many hours of gameplay lol

[@MicahUrich]

Awesome vid! Cool stuffs and fire dh setups are awesome!

[@JHowGaming]

Micah Urich Thanks! This is by far my favorite one based on the skills.

[@terryfredrick5149]

Just started my dh...I will run either this or the cold build. Although I have a love for cindercoat , what an awesome item for a fire build. Nice build thanks for the video

[@mtanner707]

U should run marked for death (contagion) over elemental arrow. Change out the krider shot for a hellrack. Also run a zai stone. With the rooting enemies and 20percent hit to stun with the zai stone that wilk activate your cull of the weak. I have a real nice ancient krider shot sitting in my box. The hellrack just flows better

[@kubanitos]

Hello, as a fellow (fire) DH player I'd like to share my thoughts about your build. First of all, I think Reapers Wraps should be pretty much your basic bracers. This way you don't have to use Blood Vengeance as a passive and you can switch that out to something way more useful than that small plus AS you get from the bracers you use now. I tend to use Cull of the weak, therefor I also use Polar Station as my sentry. This way you will trigger your Trapped gem and the Cull of the weak passive, which is a huge dmg bonus. If not for this, that Spitfire sentry doesn't seem like a good choice anyway, since it is good for it's rockets and since you don't use Ballistics, well it kinda seems a little for me. If you don't have Krider, you can simply use Evasive fire or Entangling shot. Entagling also slows down your enemies triggering cull of the weak and trapped. Anyway, these were my minor thoughts about this. Thank you for this nice video.

[@AdamTheGreat1986]

instead of blood of vengance you should have grenadier because loaded for bear counts as grenades. its huge piece to the build. i made this one for myself yesterday when i was trying to figure out my fire build.

[@JHowGaming]

IAteMyRedCrayons I opted not to run Reaper's Wraps and elected for Blood Vengeance for the bonus Hatred when needed. I think your version is better in probably most circumstances for sure, but this is what flowed the best for my personal playstyle. Your suggestion is definitely spot on!

[@mofro415]

Does the initial shot recieve the %damage and increased radius as well? I though it might just be the grenades dropped that were buff so i decided to go with night staker. Im still optimizin my build but with the 1 hander i was usin i was averagin 2550k crits. Just made an ancient unbound bolt before i turned in for the night and my sheet dps went up over 200k just from that so im goin to be excited to test it out when i get off work :)

[@MatrixND]

JHow Gaming keep up the good work! keep the builds and videos coming, so far ur the 1st one posting the new builds for ROS 2.1.2, i'm searching almost every hour. thumbs up! Kridershot cold & fire is great, might want to release something more for those without kridershot. cheers!

[@JHowGaming]

Matrix23xAndy I did some work on the PTR, so I was hoping to bring you all the results. I know the PTR isn't for everyone, so let's have some fun with it. Also, my man Banndit has been putting out some videos for the patch as well! kzbin.infovideos He's got some great videos there too.

[@MatrixND]

Wow! Thks for the heads up! i'm sub to both of you guys BANNDIT now, would like to listen and watch anything new and related to live patch of ros 2.1.2 :D CHEERS!!!

[@JHowGaming]

Matrix23xAndy More coming :) Thanks for subbing!

[@MatrixND]

JHow Gaming no prob! nice videos, by the way there's been a debate on fire vs cold, which build would be stronger in terms of damage? i been using this build since i'm pretty fated with magefist, cindercoat instead of a gd pride's fall

[@JHowGaming]

Matrix23xAndy It's really tough to say. A lot of greater rifts I've been in have a lot of density and if the mobs are right, then cold seems to be more effective for me because of the rockets. I don't think you can go wrong with either, but I've been playing Cold myself and feeling pretty good about it.

[@leveluppickleballacademy]

dat fire animation...Blizz nailed it. Cool, er, hot build! ;)

[@JHowGaming]

Wirt Yes! It's why I like it so much.

[@TheTHEZETA]

If you don't have Kridershot, u can use the Mark skill with generating hatred. When you Mark an enemy you can just spam ur immolation Arrow on them and ur hatred will generate really really fast.

[@JHowGaming]

Ryan Liu A good observation for sure!

[@bigbadlen69]

Thanks looks great i can't wait to try it..

[@JHowGaming]

lenny r Burn baby burnnnnn!

[@ultimateblue2197]

this is my favorite build yaaaay fire damage

[@JHowGaming]

Ultimate Blue I love me some fire too!

[@stingersteelers1]

As far as the passives go they are the same everywhere more or less but imo as far as the items you have people may or may not have them but for the ones that do have them this video would be great

[@Basteal]

Really wish people would showcase their builds in greater rifts. I'd have to test this myself to see how good it is. This video is only a build template.

[@pottl92]

JHow Gaming would it be better using vault with "trail of cinders" as the cindercoat is giving u a higher cost reduction for that rune (as it becomes fire damage) than with tumble... and that alway not every second vault ;) but otherwise very interessting built.. im using a slightly different built with lighting damage

[@stingersteelers1]

How did you get all those animals there. I had or have a wolf companion but don't know how it works

[@danielchiang5299]

Just wondering would reaper's wrap and blood vengeance stack?

[@WoWdropzone]

Yep.

[@jasonlewis6961]

Hey how far into the the ros expan do you find this awsome gear?

[@theabbu]

dude u r awsome ^^

[@JHowGaming]

theabbu Ha, thanks! You too! :)

[@MrGarruk123]

Thoughts on Zei's Stone of Vengeance in a fire build?

[@JHowGaming]

MrGarruk123 It's actually a great choice and probably a better choice that Gogok's. The increased damage is generally worth it, so I'd say that's the way to go for most.

[@michaelklog]

what if you made the elemental arrow frost arrow and then have the gem bane of the trapped? then it's always dmg bonus even tho it's nerfed to only 2 second slow

[@JHowGaming]

michael bruun pedersen I cover that in the other DH video, but I believe the chilled/slow effect from elemental arrow is now only 1 second, so it's not as beneficial anymore.

[@jasonlewis6961]

Ok so i have NONE of the gear and just the skills and i'm walking through stuff awsome build

[@JHowGaming]

Jason Lewis haha well that's awesome.

[@theusernameicoodfind]

Hey this build uses tumble but I used trail of cinders because of the 40% rcr and it ends up costing 5 disc so for 2 tumbles that's 10 disc which is still less than tumble's 12 cost(for 2) also I get that extra fire dmg - thoughts?

[@JHowGaming]

theusernameicoodfind Yes, an oversight on my part for sure. Glad you are pointing this out for others! Definitely the way to go.

[@theusernameicoodfind]

with that 30% helmet rcr though i guess tumble wins out right? if you're not going fire damage at least

[@zAr-ke3ys]

Do you know what the new drop rate for Kridershot is?

[@JHowGaming]

P3NT4 I do not know the exact rate, but it's definitely better now after the patch. Perhaps someone has the site with the drop rates that could reply.

[@zAr-ke3ys]

JHow Gaming Hmm Thank you anyway for the nice build im using it :)

[@ObliviaFX]

Dis OP build tho

[@JHowGaming]

MassiveDynamicz /SoundsOfFire

[@MichaelKing-jr5ie]

Why are his skills in a different position than mine? I dont have Reaper o Souls?

[@MatrixND]

yeah i guess so ROS have newer skills based on the patch.

[@tjaeder]

Elective mode.

[@JHowGaming]

Opra Windfury If you mean the positioning, you can go into your Gameplay Settings and check the box for "elective mode". This allows you to choose different skills in almost any position. And as Matrix mentioned, RoS has some different skill as well.

[@bjoernlund85]

Your build leaks aoe-dmg. you play krider, good bow, but you want to have him ancient, otherwise its too much dmg loss, besides bows have lower max dmg than xbows. and finding a decent ancient krider is very very difficult if you're not very lucky. bloodvengeance is good if you play alone , but playing fire alone with cluster is not good, as i said, too less aoe-dmg if you play in 3 or 4 team you use the otehr cluster rune with PURE granades, for maximum aoe dmg, if you play alone with fire to farm t6 take multishot, much more efficient. the other problem with your pure fire is, you wont use bane of the trapped, the best gem for demonhunter, anotehr dmg-loss. i can only say, better play frost if you want to use kridershot, otherwise play physic demonhunter for clusterbuild, more dmg. playing kridershot opens the oportunity to use lacunis instead of reaperwraps, for more ias= more hatred in shorter time and you are much more independent, not beeing dependent to healthglobes. (just in single gameplay!)
