Demon Hunter Fixed Items

If you are building a Demon Hunter for Season3 or beyond, you will notice (or already did) that some items are the same for all viable builds for Greater Rifts. With those items, you can cycle through set items and exchanging a few other pieces, you will be able to provide a whole lotta damage in the fields of battle. Take a look:

Rings: Focus + Restraint

These two are a must have for nearly all builds - if not all. RROG days are over for Demon Hunters, as you just can´t bypass the 125% damage increase. Both passives are multiplicative by itself, so, each passive gives you a 50% bonus damage (damage * 1,5), making it a 125% increase (damage * (1,5 * 1,5) = damage * 2,25).

Desirable properties are: Dextery, Critical Hit Damage, Critical Hit Chance, Socket

Belt: The Witching Hour

For sure we have some belts that we can use since the popular sets for demon hunters doesn´t account for one, but is there a top choice, the cherry on top of the cake? Hell yes, and it´s called The Witching Hour:

What? A Belt with Critical Hit Damage? Ohh yes.

Desirable properties are: Dextery, Critical Hit Damage (this is fixed, I don´t believe you would be so unlocky to drop one without it), Attack Speed Increase, Cooldown Reduction or a Defensive affix (Resist all, Vitality, etc).

Wrists: Reaper’s Wraps

Same case of the belt, there is no wrists linked to a popular set for demon hunters, so the choices are quite open, but if you are looking for a wrists that is cheap and effective, you must get the Reaper's Wraps. This can be obtained from the Blacksmith, so with enought recipes you can force our old chap Haedrig to make an ancient with decent properties. (The plan for this item can be obtained by killing Malthael, the final boss of the expansion´s Act V.

Desirable properties: Elemental Skill % Damage (based on your damage dealer), Dextery, Critical Hit Chance, Defensive stat or Cooldown reduction, attack speed etc.

Those items are a must have, and with them you can switch from Natalya to Marauder, to Unhallowed Essence and back to Natalya.

On my next post I will go through the coolest combos of weapons & quivers or dual weapons with the most popular sets to maximize your effectiveness in the rifts.

Cheers and happy hunting!
