Dh passive are too strong. u need both the steady aim and ctw. need make full use of it . Simple method first polar station drop on target. Then other 4 proc zei from distance. These method u proc both ctw and bot , zei as well.
Oh ya the one u see in diabloprogress that my fire party build. My team mate will do the crowd control

ok on serious note, how hell ppl can play high grift wen u get 1 shot by everything?
Positioning, understand mobs characteristc, don't stay static at one spot, wing assassins and the lizard guy love to hit u when u stay still. I did my 46 without any smoke screen or vault, just careful once awareness proc. i m gambling wit them, kill em before they kill you.
yesterday the lyn team had make it to 53, and gain great margin in 54 but gr boss crusader king ruing everything. we definitely can do better
i was running multishot and vierge on ca, i would suggest u guy to start keeping gear for multishot. thank me later

er... for some reason I find it's more fun to manage and fine tune your skill (gear) than go out and hit the mobs...
if u don't go out and hit how u wanna fine tune your skill? mayb that the misconception. too gear dependent. when having all the gear and still cant make it, must be the guy got lucky then. if u wanna break higher u need to breakthrough yourself first.

I means, get super excited when tuning for new build. When go hitting mob with the build, like 2 rounds of GRift then feels like same and got bore again. (Am I getting too bore with the game?)
ohh.understand u. perhaps u guy should start aiming for something to improve the game play. like a decent hellfire amulet or rorg ring. just aim for one build that will truly success. i have share everything i got i believe everyone can do >35 easily thru 40. weapon are really the most no issue for dh coz arcane barb can easily be crafted.pride fall can easily obtain in act 3 bounty. and have all dmg% on helm boot quiver, 2 set cold element soj+bracer, i gurantee u guy can do over 35, melt them like normal rift. feeling being one shotted too easily, raise your vitality or start learning to move n shoot

i figure is hard to explain in word how u can clear greater rift with ease with cold CA solo. i decide to make one video these evening on GR44 to show u guy how easily it is to achieve 35-40 solo gr.
from the vid, i do go aggresive when awareness wasnt proc. after proc i tend to stay as far as possible. i do die 3 time in these demo gr. all from avoidable mistake. always kite from behind never tend to get any inches near mobs, too risky,as long as u know your sentry hit them, place polar on enemy to proc bot+ctw the rest of sentry put on some distance to proc zei. let your companion and follower be tanker.
i like to use templar coz it will heal me, and he is good in crowd controling with ess of johan. and of coz tanking in front of bosses. never rush to hit the enemy , find the best position possible before u start to shoot your dmg. DH dmg is too great so no worry.
the more u fight solo gr, the more u understand the mobs characteristic and bosses, eventually u will get use in manual dodging from my experience.
skill as per video, evasive fire-cold hatred regen preparation-punishment - more juice mark of death-mortal enemy 20% dmg + 4 hatred per hit, always mark on the hardest enemy or elite. companion - more juice. cluster arrow - maelstorm - main dmg sentry polar station - crowd control
passive = steady aim , cull the weak, awareness, ballistic, custom eng. gem= bop,bot,zei you need plenty of resource cost reduction. as much as possible to able to shoot consistently. remember resource = dps

Ya. But it wont be enough in 47-48.but my intention of sharing are not the time clear nor dmg. Is gr 44. So anything below 35-40 wit lowet dmg will work just fine. More intend to show how u could avoid being one shotted by picking the best position to do dmg.

mmm why is that a BIS weapon? i tink i have that ancient as well i tested your play stylo + skillz in normal rift i felt the dmg increase. later try out in grift
only difference between us is i use "etrayu + leoric crown + diamond gem"
Can also as leoric giv more cdr from gem hence faster cooldown of preparation and companion. But for long run, u shud test wit a pride fall to feel the diff. as i mention before any good ancient 2h wit rcr is gonna work just fine. For etrayu with the slot being in elemental dmg,not sure elemental>rcr ,if u have no issue in shooting more on ca.
The idea of rcr is example if i can shoot 6 time while normaly u only can shot 4-5 time. That dmg from that extra one two time is hard to replace wit any elemental/elite dmg. But is worth the try. U can test n feel the diff. Making more shot is critical coz u need to melt the enemy down first before they can touch u.

No worry eventually u will get loot like kwwk demon machine wit that kinda prefix. 10% dmg -10% rcr. Then u can compare with rcr again. Cdr have around 30% is quite smooth already
these time i demo in multishot fire mode in gr 44. with cheaper cost and aoe dmg, basically MS will just swipe everything on the screen, not like CA single target. Multishot pierce thru everything even waller. pro n con on both as CA definitely do more dmg on single target. if there big group gather MS will definitely win over CA. fighting bosses like saxtris who spawn plenty of minion, MS will win overtime coz blasting on everything.
basic requirement as usual cindercoat, weapon choice could be any 2h with rcr -10%, i pick unbound bolt with rcr which have better base aspd for faster regen, can shoot more. helm boot quiver on multishot % dmg. passive are same like cold CA. with ballistic n etc.
these demo i will show how u can counter the 1st greatest threat to DH, 'the in your face mobs'
mobs like Wing Assassins, Lacuni Huntress, Unholy Thrall, Anarch. these type of mobs will start to jump to ur face once u stand static for few mili sec, what i always do is once u saw them, cast one polar up front and start to walk fallback, notice how my target are always at the edge of screen, these kinda distance will always make sure u r save from those fast flying attack. keep fall back till u save to attack. i know many hate these type of sudden attack mobs, but is easy to handle once u understand them, never stay static. i do die in the vid from the unholy thrall which totally uncontrolable it came from offscreen.
2nd DH threat ReflectDamage and Jailer/thunderstorm
is not hard to counter RD, u just need to count for at least 5sec when u see them open up they will stop the rd shield.and as we always have elite on edge of screen, problem is hard to see if the rd shield still activatin. need to gamble abit on these.
for Jailer/thunderstorm, just always stay at the very edge as far as possible and still able to attack. these require arrangement of sentry like polar to slow them down. always keep a distance. once they were staying at a spot where your follower n minion tanking. start to shoot them to death.
and i know conduit is powerful but not as powerful as before, do notice the 2 vid i share , i never cheong when using conduit, it lead to death if cheong too much. just be safe at a distance cant take the risk.
will update if i could aware of anymore threat to dh. mortar ,ice, n poison are no more harm to me, as is easy to be manual dodge away. if no mobs can touch u, DH is in god mode. hehe.
hope my sharing would help the member to hav better gameplay in future.
ps*remember to repair before going Gr if not end up like me have to go back halfway haha

Does Sentry hit proc Mortal enemy rune for hatred generation from marked for death?
great question which i been wondering also, but normaly i will just hit the mfd target myself. if all hit from sentry then sure u will see the boost of hatred but it did not. so i assume it only count from own hit.
I really wonder how u guys can collect so many rama... only got 1 in my entire D3 life and that's it...
the only place u will get more rama is from gr boss. u can ask anyone around me. i am the rama man. endless of rama actually all the buddy who fought gr with me also have plenty in their stashes. join me i can sponsor u some sometime.
» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «
don jelly hehe , last week i left only 2 after rama many weapon. now is refill back.

Thanks for sharing your info. I've been farming for pride's fall but up till now, more than 15 caches and all....shadow pun tak ada.
I think I will stick to fire dmg. I personally haven't tested multishot with GR. So I guess we use polar station to proc Cull Of the Weak and BoTt
Ya multishot arsenal is alternative if u don have cold gear. Pride fall wouldnt be hard ,tough luck for u . Don solo act 3 bounty oh so time consuming. If i get an ancient pride fall i also don wanna touch act 3 already. The battlefield map is insanely big. U shud always hav 4 people split bounty. I guess u do. Good luck hunting
1 fella got ANCIENT and one is normal but still good.
I've been farming for quite awhile...I'm giving up on that helm for now. I shall try GR tonight if time allows Bro, if you dont mind, can show us how you do Trials? granted, my legendary gems aren't as high, but would love to see how you guys(stronger DH players) do it. Thanks!
ok sure sound like a plan. but my trial run wasnt consistent. always up n down fr 46-49. still cant break 50 barrier. trial is nightmare when u hav Wing assassin ,lacuni huntress ,unholy thrall. super threat to dh spoil the trial
as per request i'm gonna share how to do DH trial. both demo got me keystone 49 i'm demo in 2 version again, so u guy can be flexible between fire and cold. one cold culster arrow and fire multishot
i gonna share a chart of sentry placement and caltrop-bait the trap position
Fire multishot - arsenal
Cold Cluster arrow - maelstorm
from start, place the first polar sentry on the edge of the hole. these is the spot that mobs gather to proc your ctw/bot. then 2-5 place bottom of the hole. y u must remember the sequence, coz with 1-5 u will always remember to refresh your sentry, so is easier to remember to refresh back in sequence.
caltrop bait the trap put right on top of blood pool. is up to u can place the 5 caltrop around where u need to move around. these is where u travel left n right so the nasty 'in your face mobs' wont jump on u. if without those nasty mobs dh can simply do quite high keystone. always stand on top of blood pool to lure all mobs come down from the edge of the hole. u don wan them come from the left side.
Passive: Steady Aim, Custom engineering, cull the weak, ballistic, awareness (cold fire same)
Trial GEM: Bane of Trapped, Zei's, Enforcer optional gogok which i try b4 also not bad.
bracer: if you guy got trag oul coil just use it, it refresh your cooldown, but not much chances to use, mayb only once or twice. if not just use whatever lacuni,reaper wraps or slave bond with your ele/cc,
u need to drop soj, as u be wasted a slot of dmg coz u don fight elite here. so 1 ring shud be in your best roll , compass rose or other with more stat. i use my ultimate avarice band dex,cc,chd.
