Unhallowed Essence is my favorite set atm, and I have made several builds with it. This one, Pure Multishot, is the strongest one I feel, and I am happy to share it with you.


Gear:


Head: Accursed Visage (Try to get Dex, Vita, Crit Chance and Socket, aim for Vitality on this piece because it gives higher amount then boots, chests, bracers and pants or Multishot dmg if you get a chance)


Shoulders: Unsunctified Shoulders (Dex, % Area DMG, Armor, All Res, % Life, Vitality, all viable options)


Amulet: Good rolled Hellfire Amulet would be BIS, but Countess or Xephirian or any other dmg prevention amulet would do the job, Eye of Etlich is also good. Socket is almost a must, Crit Damage, Crit Chance and preferably % Elemental Damage, but it is really hard to roll this way, so the 4th stat would be Dex in most chases). I am using Rakoff's Glass of Life atm, I don't have anything better, but health globes are kind of nice to have.


Torso: Cage of the Hellborn (3 Sockets, Dex, All Res, if you can get Discipline and % reduced damage from melee or ranged attacks would be amazing)


Wrists: Reaper's Wraps are BIS here, craft one with % Fire dmg. Picking up healthglobes should become your second nature whenever you miss some hatred. It allows us to spam multishot several times in a row.


Hands: Fiendish Grasp (Crit Chance, Crit Damage, Dex, Attack Speed, or Vitality if you must)


Waist: String of Ears is great defensive piece, if you can afford to go offensive here, The Witching Hour is amazing for this build.


Legs: Unholy Plates (Dex, Armor, All Res, 2 Sockets)


Feet: Hell Walkers (Dex, All Res, Armor, Life Regen)


Rings: Bastions of Will set is BIS for this one. It will be up 100% of the time, because we use ES and MS all the time.


Weapon: Calamity is the amazing option here. It boosts our dmg so much, and is perfect for a bit lazier players, who don't like to mark every enemy with Marked for Death. You can also use some 2h crossbows if you like heavy hitters, like Demon Machine or Hellrack.


Offhand: Dead Man's Legacy is insane, it doubles MS dmg most of the time. Try to roll one with Multishot dmg.

Prioritize Movespeed and Dex in core, Offense would be Crit Chance, then Crit Damage, Attack Speed and lastly CDR (we don't need it with this build), Defense: All Res, Life Regen (if using Molten Wildebeast's Gizzard), Armor then Life (we have a lot of life with this gear), and most importan choice in Utility is Resource Cost Reduction, followed by Area Dmg, LOH and lastly Gold Find.

Build Guide

Try to hold your distance whenever you can. Steady Aim and Zei's Stone of Vengeance will benefit greatly from it.


Use Smoke Screen to get rid of pesky enemies like Assassins, Leapers and Gap Closers in general. They will loose focus and stop attacking if you manage to use it at the right time. Use tumble to pick health globes whenever you miss hatred. Also, don't forget to use Preparation if you tumble too much and use Smoke Screen most of the time, because you don't want your Discipline to fall down, it will lower your dmg too much. And don't forget about Boar Companion either, it will taunt everything around you if it gets sticky.
