Happy to share my progress with this build so far, just done GR Trial for lvl 50 key. RoV and Strafe-Icy Trail are INSANE! Everything is permafrozen and DPS is amazing paired with so much survivability.
I have only 1 150 000 tooltip dps in this video and 20% inc cold damage on bracers, and that's it. I was really surprised how well Cold Natalya RoV is. Oh, and Ring of the Zodiac rewinds Vengeance to use it just in time.
Strafe - Icy Trail procs more then other Strafe runes, as far as I can tell. Combined with cold Rov, CC is ridiculous.
Hello everyone, just wanted to share the way I am playing Unhallowed Essence atm. I have tried several variations, but this one (pure Multishot build) is definitely my favorite one. It allows me to use my favorite weapon, Calamity, has amazing hatred generation, huge attack speed, and it just feels so powerful.
I know many of you are saying that slow 2h Crossbows are great choice, but I have found that fast generation is a bit better for my playstyle.
Also, I couldn't find alternatives to Bastion of Will, are there any? Did you try some other combinations with Multishot as a main dmg dealer and one hatred generator? I have tried Bola Shot, and it is also ok. Maybe with Leonine Bow of Hashir?
I couldn't find Odyssey's End sadly, would that bow with manual casting of Mark for Death be better in terms of clear speed?
Here are links to all of my UE builds atm if someone is interested:
I played too few grifts, what is there to say, I feel like DH again, it is awesome but it is also hard on high tiers here you get one shot, you can move all time and lose very much dmg, or you can shoot longer and die often and again lose much dmg
I think they should leave current set as legacy because it is ok to leave some players to current playstyle
That is true, but I feel like it should be like that. We shouldn't be able to deal all our dmg while chilling around or behind a wall, it was really powerfull and convenient, but became boring so fast.
Not sure about legacy, the thing I hated about legacy Natalya was low stats on that set, an that is what would happen to this one too (if we consider Blizzard raising the amount of primary stat you can have more often then they should - Ancient items atm).
@yuhanz Well it's a big deal if you manage to permafreeze those packs of white Anarchs or leaping assassins Amazing if you can, gotta gamble Frostburn it seems
at the begining, everyone was saying this was a nerf. but after some time playing the ptr, i can say that every change made on each set was a huge buff. raekor, marauder, and sunwuko. these changes opened a new gamut of builds that dont exist right now.
i hope blizzard is fixing the rest of the sets
when is the patch comiing out guys?
Totally agree. I really like all the new changes. And at least they give us a chance to change something, I got kind of bored lately.
If I remember right, they have said new Season will be announced at least 30 day before the end of this one. So we have a month at least. But tbh, I see no reason for that, especially if they don't squeeze new sets in the next patch. Maybe they are just short in staff during holidays.
Hey guys! I was skeptical about the new change to Marauder set, but after spending some time with it I can say it is amazing, and the change is more then welcomed
I finally feel like DH is the center of attention. Tbh I was really afraid that Kridershot is going to be the only viable option, but with some attack speed, I was able to achieve really nice Calamity build.
Focus of this build is attack speed and hatred generation. Here is a link to the build too, if you are interested (you can find all the details there):
I know GR 43 is not that ground breaking, but I think it can be pushed few levels up.
What do you guys think? Would Etrayu or Buriza be better? I have tried Buriza with Hungering Arrow, but the clear speed is slower (although single target was better). Also, does enyone have Frostburn? I really wonder how would it work.
Don't play Wizard for sure, I wanted to test him out, new bracers are really lame. Will try to find a good use for them, but not going well atm. DH is the same, lame DMG boost, nothing interesting. It's like they sat in the office, took a cup of coffee and decided all the new stuff coming in season 2.
Great video! That looks fun! I'm considering playing DH season 2 now when I've played Crus + WD season 1. The new active and engaging playstyle interests me. They seem to have fixed the monster density or was it just this rift? I mean, that was some intense action!
Go for it man, DH is my favorite class by far, and with this rework DH has become the most fun I ever had with him. Although the new season 2 legendary bow is so lame
Some rifts are amazing, it is much better then before. But you will still come across boring rifts, with 5 elite packs and small groups of monsters... Maybe they will fix them till it goes live.
Ok, seems like now is the time to try out build I lacked items for This buff is just insane, it is amazing for farming Ancient items. Hoping for a good ancient Kridershot
So I had an idea, if someone is doing the same, let us post screenshots with good ancient finds.
Oh, and double blood goblins gave me 1500+ bloodshards, I had to teleport back 3 times. Insane for trying things out.
Nice video, they really toned down the damage monsters do it looks. Its phase 1 on the ptr, they always start high then tone down. Damage wasnt really the issue with dh's on live, density and walk back after facing a blue jailer pack was.
Thanks. It feels easier now, yes. I was doing GRs 36 in the past, but now I am able to go 42+. Maybe because of the new gem, I have 69 000 life per second and 120 000 shield every 4 sec. It is insane for kiting. I also have Countess, so maybe that is the reason it looks like I am tanking more than I should.
Lets see how this turns out during PTR. On 2.1 I use T&T, 3 spender cold build and can get 40-42 keys in the trials. On PTR I used Entangling Shot, cold CA and Marauder's Gloves, no other spenders, not really optimized and easily managed to get a 44 key in what feels like half the time.
T6 is a cakewalk, I can clear an entire screen in 2 seconds. I feel like they overdid it a tad. My mediocre DH feels miles ahead of my pet WD (top 80 EU leaderboards, probably top 30 among pet WDs).
But it's just so much fun, letting hell rain down on the enemies on my command
---
Edit: And obviously they still haven't fixed the problem that there are still mobs present after the RG spawns -.-
Yea, I have tried my Monk too, just to see how the new Sunwuko is, it was terrible. DH feels miles ahead, as you have said.
I didn't try cold yet, but I have tried Calamity Entengling Shot+CA(loaded for bear), it was ok, I have cleared GR 40 in time, but it was somehow worse, while you are filling your hatred, sentries are doing almost nothing. It was a problem for me, died several times. Alos, Lightning is so/so too, need to try different builds, but generally Kridershot is too good to pass. And t6 is such a joke, 1 shotting elites most of the time.
Sadly TnT are behaving strangely, shooting normal attacks between my elemental arrows.
And yea, rift guardian's company still not fixed, caught me a bit off guard.
Wow, I am so happy with the change to Marauder. It is so much more engaging then before. You need to attack, and it feels like commanding a siege Here is a video of GR 40 in 7min with no pylons, no spectacular gear, around 1,15 mil dmg, with new regen gem... I have decided to go fire dmg, Kridershot, Cindercoat with polar station rune for Cull the Weak and Bane of the Trapped.
Do you think this will be nerfed? TBH it really feels powerful. And did someone try out other elements and other weapons?

Did they remove Pants as Natalya piece? I can't gamble them for 3 days, saw all other pants at least 10+ times.Edit: GR Boss just drop one, it was just terribly bad luck.
