Hi guys, I am leveling my DH at the moment. Lvl 65 and counting. I have a t6 geared WD who farmed enugh mats and recipies to fill the stash, but I wanted to play flavor of the month aswell
My problem is that most guides focus on what build you will use once you have m6 and all the legendaries you need. What I need to know is what is the most efficient build to farm for m6 as long as you dont have it?
That's pretty much it, I will hit 70 tonight and see how lucky i get with gearing up
i'd use multishot (arsenal), rapid fire (bombardment), wolf companion, entangle, smoke screen, caltrops - passives: awareness, archery, steady aim, - i think that's a decent balance of aoe and single target damage. u can jump in with me if u need help farmin the m6 stuff. ysoserious#1178.

For mine, I varied my spec a LOT from T1 to T6 because it depended on the gear I had. If I had a good +% element, I changed to take advantage. When I got Helltrapper, I changed to take advantage. When my Hatred was always there, I went wolf companion, but when I changed for a piece of gear, suddenly I needed hatred and used bat again for a while, etc. I think at the lower levels of gear, there are a lot of viable options, but it will largely depend on your gear. For some reason, Mara chest eluded me for a while so I had Aughlid's chest/helm all the way to T5.
Edit:
You have +fire and +lightning. Consider Sentry Polar Station to slow mobs eliminating the need for Entangling shot. Then, Cluster Arrow Loaded for Bear as a nuke to take advantage of the +fire. I would use Cull the Weak for that last passive for damage bonus on targets slowed by sentry. Since you won't be spamming Entagling for the slow, you might need hatred, so punishment rune on preparation. I would keep Companion, but vary wolf/bat depending on hatred. The last couple would be dependent on gear.
I would try something like this: http://us.battle.net/d3/en/calculator/demon-hunter#RPSVOk!cibh!accZYY
Cull the Weak and Custom Engineering try to maximize sentry since you have Bombadier's. Awareness so you can push the harder content. Blood Vengeance as a poor man's Reaper's Wraps to try with no builder.
Elemental Arrow: Ball Lightning for the damage, proc coefficients and the +electric neck. CA: Loaded for Bear, because of your +fire bracers. Vengeance helps nuke elites, with seethe to let your hatred hold up a little better.
From there, you just have to adjust based on how it plays. If you find you really need Vault to survive, then what really isn't helping? Your hatred lasts too easily on elites? Maybe change the Seethe rune for Side Cannons and try to get the Ballistics passive. Maybe Reaper's Wraps would let you drop Blood Vengeance to make room, etc. If all else fails and you need more hatred, go back to a builder. Hungering Arrow: Serrated Arrow worked well for me since it generated more hatred so I could go back to a spender quicker.

The link messed up. The passive should have custom engineering instead of ballistics.
