Diablo 3 RoS: Demon Hunter Torment Burst Farming Build - Getting into Higher Difficulties

[@LymanGreen]

Ziggy, like a few other folks have mentioned, this build SAVED MY DH. I had leveled to about 60, and then started having serious issues, dying, couldn't play Expert or Master anymore. Leveled to 70 but felt bad about it, was considering just dropping playing my DH, and moving on. Tried this build, and it was like a complete turnaround for me, and I've been feeling really good with it, using it in Master, and with a few more gear drops I'm planning on moving up to T1. Thank you SO much for this build and this video.

[@ZiggyDGaming]

Man that's awesome to hear. Really rewarding as a content producer to hear that you've helped someone enjoy their game so much more.

[@LymanGreen]

ZiggyD Gaming Within the past few days, I have gotten more and more used to it. For long term fights, it's not as viable, but it does such high burst that in Master it pretty much works without any hassles. I may have to look at your other no hatred build for better than T1. I will say: I think that affixes that boost fire make this build that much better, and/or affixes for cluster.

[@ArchAngelSlayer1]

It killed me to see him leave that treasure goblin there at 11:50

[@CodingToFreedom]

Man, being a goblin must be even worse than being Jay Wilson, at least Wilson could get out alive :)

[@simonleonard8742]

Thats a nice build, i just tried it out and its way better than what i got before. Thanks for sharing now i love my DH

[@KrazyTrumpeter05]

Thanks for this vid, gives me a good idea of where to start with my Demon Hunter. After I finish leveling up my Crusader, this will be the next project! And I didn't think I was ever going to play anything other than Wizard for all of D3's lifespan...well done Reaper of Souls lol

[@IslandguyOR]

Thanks! I've been really struggling in Torment against elites and their minions, this build is a great base to start from and has totally increased my survivability.

[@icurnvs776]

Gotta love the Rick James reference in the "Unity" ring! I'm actually really glad to see that the D3 devs are also big fans of Chappelle's Show. :D

[@xArbilx]

Thanks for your videos. I was finally able to kill a treasure goblin solo in T1 because of this build.

[@mtmanaok]

Thank you for the video. This answered a lot of questions I was battling with.

[@deanchild9848]

I tried re building this today on the battle net skill calculator I guess things have changed because i could not get the companion skill in the same Hunter slot. Sorry i am a D3 newbie just got this on PS4 having blast playing a demon hunter and watching your guides.

[@Justanothermusicnerdxo]

I was using this exact build on Day 2 as well, and I was able to take on T2, but now that I can take on around T4, I am hoping to find some new things. The new legendaries make a lot of new builds more viable, I found it pretty easy to shed off Vault as well, as Smoke Shroud with Healing Vapors acts as a full out cleanse + invulnerability + heal. Are there any newer alternate builds that can still solo fairly efficently?

[@diaroduran3601]

nice video mate, the smoke screen helped me alot.. and i've got over a million damage atm ^.^

[@sandreid87]

Nice to see ZiggyD running my own build :D

[@Tinthia82]

Thank you Ziggy! You saved my DH from deletion too lol

[@moyga]

Damn, loving your transmog man! Personally, I leveled to 70 within 2 hours of release in T6 vanilla maps and played the whole of act 5 in T1 right off the bat on my wizard. Doing bounties in T1 and rifts in T3 atm. Still wanting to get in your clan if spaces open up, haven't found a good aussie one yet.

[@WebnewsCelebrities]

This is actually the most powerful build on dh, don't forget to add some %fire skill damage on your build sir, with magefist, cindercoat (allow you to double your number of cluster arrow ) and some random bracers, you'll be able to reach the 25m cluster arrow (grenades included (12-18m impact) ) Thank you for the video

[@nicholaswillcox]

Thank you so much for posting this.

[@TacoViolator872]

Nice vid...do you have any suggestions on video recording software.

[@beardedshadow]

I've been using Vengeance w/Side Cannons too and it kicks ass.

[@nugster1]

This build is fantastic, its working wonderful for me.

[@SeanMold]

I got stuck in a cross of two different builds. Had me more on the offensive passives like steady aim, ambush, cull the weak, archer (hand xbow = crit chance). However, I like the hatred regen of blood vengance mixed with the high cost of cluster arrow. I don't know which of the passives I'd replace. Additionally, I found that (like monsieur Lambda said) focusing of fire damage or one type of element damage is better than spreading the elements. With that in mind most of my skills (except one) focus on fire damage, and I do notice a difference in the crit damage. The one skill I like that doesn't appeal to the fire element is Rain of Vengeance, which I took in place of Smoke Screen. (I don't like the fire runes for Rain of Vengeance); however, I did find that the rune "Shade" works wonderfully for large (but reduced) area damage, especially when combined with the concentrated "loaded for bear" damage of cluster arrow. With my set up and gear I am reaching max crits of 10m and average crits of 5-8m with 700k along with blanket damage from Rain of Vengence: shade which, for me, crits 2-3m for any mobs caught in the area.

[@jaywestaway-shaw2541]

another great Video Zig, will be giving this one a crack for sure!

[@CodingToFreedom]

I believe I saw you play a strafe-build as well on stream a couple days ago, I am playing that build since release and have it in a working state now (video guide online on my channel :)), was that just a short episode or did you like it enough to play it more?

[@thevlaka]

great video, thanks :)

[@JSHolyDiver]

Awesome video, great tips, thanks!

[@SuperTechnoman93]

Ive noticed that brooding is very op considering my Dh has 600k health. With the stacked passive giving me 4.5% of my max health every second and boar companion, I can frontalcheck almost anything as long as im standing still.

[@TheVurian]

ZiggyD Gaming Just wondering, if you do not have the chest for the 3 wolves (and you play with a full party most of the time) would it be more beneficial to use Marked for death or to still use the wolf animal companion?

[@Nealetony]

Was farming in master and doing okay, then I switch to this build and I am farming in torment 2 clicks. Though I changed up the healing mechanic for Preparation with Punishment. I had halve the stuff for your no hatred build which I want to try look fun, so until I can get the helmet and bracers ill just farm where i am at.

[@Nealetony]

I think a stop gap ring might be Krede's flame.

[@TheKillzone9999]

reroll the all resist on the cloak for sockets as you can gem more all resist in

[@ZiggyDGaming]

That's a great idea, I'm pretty starved on mats so I probably wouldn't have done it anyway but I honestly didn't even think of it. As soon as I have some spare mats I'll do it.

[@konpacu]

Thanks for the tips!

[@Davew5183]

This build saved my DH was about to say "sod it!!" *press DELETE* thank you ziggy :D

[@the_Eisenstein]

Obviously you're using 2 1H Crossbows, I've seen some guys running around with 1H + quiver, any thoughts?

[@jjrap3]

Are you going to play on hardcore? Some hardcore guides and tips for RoS would be excellent

[@ZiggyDGaming]

Yes I have been! And I will definitely be making content for it too - most likely death analysis videos for you to learn from haha.

[@Psychopoweranger]

Cool build!

[@KillaBlaze2124]

Ziggy how do you feel about this build? I am using this now since I do not possess the requirements to run a successful no hatred gen build: Entangling Shot: JIS , Multishot: Arsenal , Vault: Action , Companion: Bat , Sentry: Spitfire , Cluster Arrow: LFB. Passives - Ballistics, Cull the weak, Awareness, Perfectionist As you can tell I run more of a Rocket/Fire build

[@ZiggyDGaming]

Yeah, seems like a pretty solid setup! Should work pretty well even with poor gear.

[@KillaBlaze2124]

Thanks for the feedback Ziggy. I thought so too and it is very effective for lower torments and I expect when geared correctly for higher torments as well. Keep up the good work bro!!

[@romeodavila1287]

i have a question how you set you're keybinds like that i have no clue how to do that

[@keithyw]

sweet guide! i just hit 70 on my DH and was looking for a good spec. also, anyone opinions on how this spec works for 2-h, 1-h, quivers, etc.? or does it matter?

[@bentley2468]

ZiggyD Gaming my friend just got me to level 70 by party but im weak i can clear out torment 1 fine but it takes like 30 mins and its hard for me to find gear could u make a demon hunter gear guide?

[@NickVsTheWorrld]

Finished torment 1 today with my lvl 60 DH, still haven't bought the expansion.

[@ryokoshii]

level 60 isnt comparable to level 70 at all sorry man. :

[@NickVsTheWorrld]

ryokoshii Yeah I know but its still good for a day of grinding.

[@ryokoshii]

yea nothing wrong with it :)

[@JaunMoney]

Yea only your gold is significant in reaper of souls. Other than that everything else is useless

[@CodingToFreedom]

Yuri Boyka The real Yuri Boyka would play T6 before Patch 2.0.1 hit, so you can't be legit!

[@brandoncampion5990]

I actually have had way more dps by adding Elemental Arrow with Frozen arrow and adding chain gang is also an option for this.

[@LumiLightz]

Ziggy what do you think about Andariels? Since it has % Firedmg on it, it might actually be really nice? Mine rolled..well, not as I want it (I dont have cluster arrow or crit chance) but does the helm itself have potential for the build?

[@ZiggyDGaming]

Yeah for sure. Andy's is one of the top 2 (the other and better in my opinion is Pride's Fall, but it's very close)

[@LumiLightz]

ZiggyD Gaming okay thanks, i just watched your best in slot video. i get hit some more often so andy might be better for me, but i cant use it yet since im missing too much critchance.. dont have it on the helm

[@phloudernow]

i just started and only have 220K DPS =.= really shitty gear too should i be running normal with this setup? or do i have the ability to run torment 1?

[@CreepngDethplays]

hey! I just want to ask, how come you have so many wolves? how can you do that?

[@elendilshk]

ZiggyD, I'd like to ask why you went with 2 1h crossbows instead of a quiver? Thanks brah!

[@ZiggyDGaming]

Highest potential damage for me right now - I have high crit chance (50%) and you can use 2x Emeralds for Crit damage with 2 one handers. So I can get over 400% CD boosting my DPS dramatically :)

[@elendilshk]

ZiggyD Gaming Thanks so much for responding and your videos. I learned loads. Keep it up and the videos coming. :D

[@rich64bit]

Nice demon hunter like the transmog gold I focus on the gold too since the wings of valor

[@kamon666]

I personally dropped the boots for illusory boots , this way wallers and bulk mobs are no longer an issue ( can't get cornered ) I'm also on ps3 not PC

[@FatalCompromise]

did they change entangling shot doing fire damage?

[@15Masterluke]

its the rune that makes it fire:)

[@FatalCompromise]

Luke Cartwright ya i know that but on this video it says the effect changes to fire oin the rune and in game for me it doesn't

[@CodingToFreedom]

There is a rune for that.

[@trikster22]

Why not preparation? Instead of vault.

[@GMarine13]

Sup ZiggyD, I recently got the same legendary cloak, but with no sockets. If you had to choose between 12% movement speed, 100 all resist, or increase hatred regen by 1.03 per second, which would you choose? I was never sure how good the hatred regen stat was for DH's.

[@ZiggyDGaming]

Probably best to reroll the hatred into 3 sockets but otherwise all resits to 3 sockets is also a good trade off.

[@solesofresh1]

What do I need to upgrade to be able to go through the pink lasers without dying right away? Plzz help thank u

[@verybadsalad3903]

how do you get use 2 skills in ine skilltree???

[@NovumZero]

How are you ALWAYS critting when you have 50% rate???

[@ZiggyDGaming]

I'm not always, I just have normal damage numbers disabled so you are only seeing the crits.

[@NovumZero]

ahhh lol i checked this in the options myself a few hours ago. very funny. thx for the guides, oh and F$^K those reapers wraps the fear never drops :[

[@TheSwierscyk]

Why You have 2 wolfs?

[@MrSuvvan]

how to get those wings? or any wings

[@Andothalas]

With this build, Just asking for a personal opinion, Would bow, Xbow or DW 1h xbow be the most... Viable for this build? I myself did manage to pull a Leg Xbow. Just wondering what would provide the quickest burst?

[@ZiggyDGaming]

Initial burst damage is better with a 2H xbow or bow but you can rebuild the hatred quicker with 2 x 1H xbows. I prefer the latter because you can also get more crit damage through a second emerald.

[@TherealKurbeh]

Could you swap out justice is served for chain gain for more slowed mobs? or would the hatred gen loss effect the build too much?

[@ZiggyDGaming]

You can but the idea is to put out as many cluster arrows as possible so you'd lose out on overall DPS.

[@TherealKurbeh]

ah thanks, im new to the DH game :P too used to playing WD and Wiz so ive not been used to having to generate a resource.

[@WheelWizard-q5o]

Wow, I teched the exact same build for the most part. Ran the bat companion for the extra hatred regen and seethe on vengence for the same reason. Cluster is so powerful that generating hatred to spam it as much as possible maxes damage, I think. Other than that, exactly the same. Spooky. 0_0 Also for reference when I first made the spec I was easily running torment 1 at only 300k damage and 2 mil toughness.

[@LokirofRoriksted]

Yeah... 140 all resist OR 440 dex (green gems at that level gives 220 dex)

[@ZiggyDGaming]

Yeah it gets more competitive at the Royal level, while Marquise is still 62 vs 62. So as you craft up you may want to go for Dex.

[@Sir_Snakerton]

How do you have vault and companion equipped at the same time? I'm playing the ultimate evil edition on ps4 and it says that both of those skills are in the same category so I can only choose one.

[@MultiSpikeyman]

It's an option believe it the first in gameplay

[@kaossix6]

Buriza-Do Kyanon + HA Devouring arrow O P, triple pierce and progressive crits

[@fatoe5026]

thanks for sharing!

[@Overcaca23]

Is there any place in particular you advice to loot your gear?

[@ZiggyDGaming]

Normal Bounties+Rifts or Torment 1+ Rifts!

[@iPuReMLG]

Yo Ziggy what servers do you play on bro?

[@ZiggyDGaming]

US servers!

[@iPuReMLG]

nice i was just wondering cuz of ur accent. we should play sometime if u roll on hardcore

[@SilentSword674]

I don't know what to choose.....Wizard or Demon Hunter? Which one has higher defense and damage?

[@SilentSword674]

***** I chose DM, you helped a lot! c;

[@gundamnicholas]

how did u switch places for cluster arrow to be right click? and how do u get two hunting skills?

[@ZiggyDGaming]

Options > gameplay > elective mode

[@AvanCaldar]

Where do you get your 4k+ life per second? I don't see anything in your gear that gives you that.

[@ZiggyDGaming]

It's probably life on kill, that's counted under the healing stat.

[@kurthansen7862]

i am dh just hit lvl 70 and i want the same skill setup as you got but i cant get cluster rocket on secondary and i cant both get companion and vault what do i do?

[@kurthansen7862]

i found out

[@MannyMac414]

will I be able to do torment 1 with 300k damage?

[@TheNathvar]

How do you have 2 archery skills and no secondary skill?

[@ZiggyDGaming]

options > gameplay > elective mode

[@TheNathvar]

ZiggyD Gaming Thanks a bunch man!

[@rodmanbrutus1671]

TheNathvar In a world, where people still dont know about elective mode!

[@ethum2]

So if i still have the old diablo 3 game .. what skill should i replace vengence for? Since that skill is still level 61

[@ZiggyDGaming]

Rain of Vengeance is fine!

[@kanorocampo7481]

Hey where can we get the wingsfor demon hunter class?

[@23bobjr]

,,,, seriously?

[@icervoid]

Look KZbin after ....

[@DaeganJones]

How do you get 2 hunting my skill menu looks nothing like this.

[@JordanBoen]

Options > Gameplay > Elective Mode

[@ThomasSWK]

U do know that dex gem in the same size gives 160 dex

[@icervoid]

I forgot ! 53cc and 510cd so , grenade gives 3,5 mil at max and cluster 14 mil at max

[@Spriggen1337]

would this work in vanilla d3 minus the RoS skills?

[@ZiggyDGaming]

Yeah for sure. Replace Vengeance with Rain of Vengeance or with Marked for Death.

[@Spriggen1337]

Thanks ziggy just out of curiosity do you believe the game speed has been decreased after 2.0 and RoS launch to me after that my demon hunter feels sluggish but before 2.0 he didn't

[@joedirt138]

What are you doing to get more than one wolf?

[@joedirt138]

lol never mind. your talking about it now :P

[@bobbeaul9807]

how do u have 2 skills in hunter im on ps4 how do i do thet

[@ZiggyDGaming]

You have to enable "elective mode" in the gameplay options

[@bobbeaul9807]

ZiggyD Gaming thxs

[@nicholaslam6994]

What 1h xbows are you using?

[@ZiggyDGaming]

Just 2x 1H rare crossbows. I think they had 1270ish DPS

[@alsndnz]

loking for a torment build and found this once i enter game i looked my cloak its same one in video lol

[@ahs27674]

how do you have two wolfs ?

[@ZiggyDGaming]

3* Cloak of the Garwulf

[@aaronhuang419]

how do u get those wings?

[@ZiggyDGaming]

RoS preorder bonus

[@aaronhuang419]

thanks for answering,cause i never get a reply from the youtuber that made the video i commented on

[@803brando]

DH has the greatest gameplay value imo. mobility is key in end game. im at 1.2 mil, i can rip through T3, and a decent pace through T4. T1 i use vault and strafe and rip through the zone faster than any of my other characters.

[@icervoid]

HI ME have a dh with 1500000 damage, tough 9500000, all res 1200 and I play in t4 Recently I finded me being kicked because this damage is too low :(:(:( So , how big must be damage in T4 ?? or dh is less compared with other classes ?

[@사랑아화이팅]

Dude 1.5 mill damage is real high, you must be not doing something right

[@damienjohn]

Millionto Trillion I think he means elemental DPS, in which case 1.5 mil is okay but not gigantic, especially for clearing higher torment. I definitely wouldn't kick him but I wouldn't put it past the pub game folk.

[@GelberDrache92]

Its a nice build. But I don't use ambush. Brooding ist for hardcore chars extrem cool. And thanks for the nice guide :D

[@verno711]

I was looking forward to a HC reeep vid...

[@jinkasama80]

how you do all critical dmg?

[@ZiggyDGaming]

I just have disabled normal damage text in the options so you only see crits.

[@Gooshnads]

Grats on the cape... im still using my pre ros one =[ and im up to 800k dps T.T

[@DeeAy09]

oh and what about paragon

[@ZiggyDGaming]

D3 Reaper of Souls: Demon Hunter Paragon Point Allocation Guide

[@DeeAy09]

ZiggyD Gaming thanks for the help!

[@DeeAy09]

impale - ricocet gives me more damage than cluster arrows. (i just turned 70)

[@ZiggyDGaming]

Higher numbers yeah but clear speed with impale is atrocious :)

[@DmonYT]

I wish Path of Exile had some nice looking armor, rather then bucket helmets.

[@Jipooki]

Kinda hard to make nice armor when everyone is a psycho, a snake, a ghost, a spider, or a bleeding corpse...

[@metaminerx]

your not a god in poe. you are an exile.

[@matti7421]

lol I came here hoping for something new but happens that Im using exactly same spec and also have the Garwulf cape :D

[@yamammalane]

you missed the goblin man

[@Kitteh328]

better gear than this? is that even possible ?

[@Amnesiasheaven]

Lala#2585 on the europe server does 30m hits with clusterbomb.. not to forget that he has infinite cluster bombs..his build is freaking insane

[@TheImmortalSoul]

Brady Al Saimary sry but she can't have 30m dmg with custer arrow with that equipments, probably she's doing little more than 10m Also there is better ways to have ''infinite'' cluster arrows, with my current build the cluster arrows will cost only 1,6 hatred points.

[@GwLostKing]

I am using mutishot a build that i made really fun and fast, running T10 and 1-2 shotting trash mobs and nearly instant kills elite packs xD

[@redstoneboy]

Funny i use the same skills just a few different runes.

[@juuonse]

5mill toughness....*shiver* would be scared shitless in hc with that low =(

[@thiaguinhodepaula]

3 wolves, HOW? Oo

[@Pvpfreak123]

You said i didnt break that 1mil dmg mark but im doing okey with my 500 million xD

[@MaxxxMaxMaxx]

this guys sounds ALOT like the guy from "Tech YES City" channel :P

[@ToxicatedLum]

History of lower tier? Didn't Athene have the best dps in the world for a long time????

[@rennaaa6667]

Sadly DH's have been shafted yet again. A Barb ,Crusader or Monk with similar stats would be absolutely destroying stuff, while at the same time being nowhere near as squishy as DH's, and not depending on any special legendary attribute. The squishiness of DH's makes me fucking cry when I group up with the barbs saders and monks from the clan that can just run into the biggest zerg and mop it up in seconds while I get melted down in a moment if I even tried. DH's desperately need some better way to sustain their tank. I was excited for the no-hatered strafe build but that legendary was nerfed as well. Shit fucking blows.

[@ivarvandijk]

t1 ?!??!?
