EU+US Looking for advice for a new Havoc DH

[Mattdemon]

To the OP, the set that Speedruns recommends is great for Islands, probably not the worst for dungeons, but for anything else, it's not the greatest. If you'd like to see a good set for mainly pvp / raid content then check out my DH.

For raid content, replace the trinkets with a Seeping Scourgewing and Shadow-Singed Fang.

Is this you?

Yes but don't pay attention to the gear, it's far from bis as mentionned previously

@Speedruns
Dont bother explaining yourself. loads of people here talk down on people. you look like an accomplished twink.

Yeahhh I guess I'm learning more and more everyday about what this community has become hehe

Heck I'd love more guide content because I find it very interesting and honestly, a major part as to why I started twinking myself, is because of Speedruns. It looked fun as hell and actually gave value to a game, I personally think is running so stale in terms of endgame content.

Noted, thank you.

@Speedruns thanks for the stat analysis (mastery vs Versa)... very helpful for figuring what’s best in each situation. Not sure why you’re getting grief ... I’ve always appreciated your posts as a template / standard for what’s achievable in IE’s.

You're welcome, cheers :]

Nice man, do you compete with 120s in abt? I'd love to hear some of your theorycrafting

I haven't actually seriously played my 110 for a little while, been gearing other twinks and playing my 120 DH. I haven't actually ran islands for like a solid month or so, been sitting at 23 for the same time lol. But back when I did ABT on a normal basis I could compete with just about any 120 that was below like 350ish and keep a solid 7k dps throughout the fights. But I've never been a theorycrafter.. just enjoy playing twinks.

I wouldn’t say my DH is BIS, but for an eye beam build, which is best for islands and arguably best for twink pvp as well, I’m somewhat close. The goal with my twink is to stack as much mastery as I can for the greater eye beam and fel barrage damage, as well as to stack leech for survivability, and center everything around my eye beam (such as my traits and Antorus 2 set). I like to replace my Golganeth’s trinket with a different mastery trinket for islands, although for PvP, having that additional agility helps when my eye beam and fel barrage are on CD.
I know a lot of demon hunters will disagree with my statement regarding eye beam build being best for PvP, but this has definitely worked best for me. In a pure 1v1, it’s quite awful, but in a battleground (especially AoE situations), everything dies within seconds. Same goes for islands.

With my setup, barrage and beam still do plenty damage, its not the best idea to stack mastery for the beam and barrage damage, cause if you get kicked on one and stunned or whatever on the other, that mastery stacking goes out the window. Whereas having vers or haste with revolving blades or a mix of traits will be better because you're more well rounded.

Not trying to toot my own horn when I say this, but I've never been beaten in KBs, Damage, or HKs by any other DH. As well as never losing to another in a 1v1. That's because most decide to stack one thing, ig a little bit if class knowledge as well lol

I completely agree with you. Your mix is honestly better when it comes to sustainability and well-roundedness. My build is more useful for jumping into a graveyard or large crowd, aoe stunning, and spamming fel barrage and eye beam before the stun is up. One kick and I’m pretty screwed. But I typically line up my aoe with my aoe stun, reducing how often I get kicked.
I also don’t pvp on my DH very often though. I made it as a toon I can use to speed level my other toons through dungs and islands, as well as to sell M Ant carries on. My main PvP twinks are my DK, priest and lock.

...He was on 1 stream from some semi-famous streamer and he somehow now knows everything?

I certainly did not mean to imply that. What I was trying to establish was that I had actually watched his DH at work in that stream (as opposed to having been a client or what have you) and was reasonably impressed at his consistent 5 minute or so runs. Nothing more than that.
