There is more than one way to fire explosives from a crossbow. Blizzard has recently featured an interesting Demon Hunter build that is centered around the Rocket rune for the Strafe attack. In our previous rocket-based Demon Hunter build, we noticed how easy it was to swap the rockets for grenades. Intrigued by this strafe idea, today we’re going to experiment and see if the … [Read more...]
The Rocket Launcher Demon Hunter
The Antithesis of Rapid Fire Tired of the same old retread Demon Hunter builds? Consider shifting things up with this high-octane Demon Hunter rocket build. But be warned, the following variation requires a bit more precision than most. Instead of aimlessly spamming your Hatred spender, you must hold back a bit, lining up your shots carefully for devastation. Active … [Read more...]
Demon Hunter Build: Sting Like a Butterfly
Several demon hunter players have already cleared T6 Malthael. It's a powerful class, but it requires more finesse to play than a barbarian or crusader. Most of your skills boost your avoidance. Instead of surviving hits, you dodge and jump away without taking a scratch. Your main attack, Entangling Shot, slows enemies by 60 percent, and Smoke Screen and Vault let you get out … [Read more...]

I fought Malthael with my P57 level 70 Demon Hunter, sporting around 308K HPs and 122K DPS unbuffed. My gear was decent, with a mix of mostly 60-65 rares and a few legendaries. I … [Read more...]
First Impressions
For me, my trip into Sanctuary last night was more of the stop and smell the roses variety. I really wanted to soak in the new content, leaving no corpse un-looted, no vase unbroken, no barrel un-smashed, no corner of the map unexplored, and no bad guys left alive. Although he's the less sturdy of my 2 "mains", I decided to give Act V a go with my Demon Hunter. After about … [Read more...]

Which class are you going to roll once Diablo 3 goes live? Do you want to get right up in the faces of your enemies - letting your melee weapons and fists do the talking - like a Barbarian or Monk..? Maybe you want the company of fierce minions, or perhaps you want to take out your enemies using arcane power - like a Witch Doctor or Wizard..? Or...could it be that you prefer … [Read more...]
