Just found this in prep for S6. I have to say, I'm two minutes in and already your ability to condense all useful info onto the screen is immensely helpful. Thank you for taking the time, I wish every Guide maker could learn "how to" from yourself.
Ive made a variation of this build, instead of limited area of polar station, I switch to guardian turret for more defense, and changed belt to witching hour. And for proc cull of the weak and bane of the trapped, im using thrill of the hunt, it proc everyone who gets hit by cluster arrow... Im also using maelstrom for more benefit from ballistics and life per hit
Good Guide as Always :D. Originally had non set item multi shot build for GR 45 and 55. Then went with UE build for GR 60's/mid 60's. Eventually pushing higher needed Marauders. I have seen some other builds that I tried like the LoN suicide build but it was too gear dependent. I might test out the Natalya build this time to try push higher.
Datamined PTR patch coming soon. *SET BONUSES* *Embodiment of the Marauder* 4 pieces: Sentries deal 300% (up from 200%) increased damage and cast Elemental Arrow, Chakram, Impale, Multishot, and Cluster Arrow when you do. 6 pieces: Skills deal 600% (up from 400%) increased damage for every active Sentry. *ITEMS* *Dawn*: Reduce the cooldown of Vengeance by 50 - 65%. (up from 45-60%) *Zoey's Secret*: You take 8-9% (up from 6-7%) less damage for every Companion you have active. *SKILLS* *Cluster Arrow* Cost: 40 Hatred / Fire a cluster arrow that explodes for 650% (up from 550%) weapon damage as Fire into a series of 4 additional grenades that each explode for 250% (up from 220%) weapon damage as Fire. Loaded for Bear : Increase the damage of the explosion at the impact location to 850% (up from 770%) weapon damage as Fire. Shooting Stars : Instead of releasing grenades, release up to 2 (down from 3) rockets at nearby enemies that each deal 600% weapon damage as Physical. Cluster Bombs : Launch a cluster through the air, dropping grenades in a straight line that each explode for 650% (up from 525%) weapon damage as Fire. Maelstrom : Instead of releasing grenades, release up to 3 (down from 5) rockets at nearby enemies that each deal 450% weapon damage as Cold. You gain 2% (up from 1%) Life per enemy hit. *Vengeance* Cooldown: 90 seconds / Turn into the physical embodiment of Vengeance for 20 seconds (up from 15 seconds). / *Side Guns: Gain 4 additional piercing shots for 60% weapon damage each on every attack. / *Homing Rockets: Shoot 2 (down from 4) rockets at nearby enemies for 80% (up from 40%) weapon damage each on every attack. / *Vengeance: Gain 40% increased damage.
Great vid. I really like this set for the demon hunter! Is enforcer a contender in this build or is sentry dmg not great enough to warrant the gem slot? Also, although they slightly nerfed rockets on CA, does it still outperform loaded for bear? I get why you run cold turrets but can you run fire sentries for a bit more dmg and rely on your follower for the botT/cull proc? (ballistics OP)
+Tofuism yea, the sentries aren't doing most of the damage so you are better off buffing your damage than pets, for solo the rockets are great. The supplemental damage from spitfire is pretty slight, a lot of the time you have sentries behind you off-screen and they will not even be in range to cast the little rockets, and with high density and big pulls the follower is just not enough to keep everything slowed, i have seen people use thrill of the hunt and drop polar station but that is kind of a waste of a passive imo
Hi, Philosophios. I have some good items already, well-rolled ancients, but the maximum I can achieve is GR 72 with a lot of struggle. One of the difficulties I have is keeping Taeguk stacks, So because I couldn't clean higher GR, went back to my UE and guess what: with better gear (my UE set is very good, only missing some stuff like changing an attribute on Ancient Shoulders, for example). I know you must be busy a lot, I followed this guide of yours, but really need some hints more, if you could help me, I would thank you a lot, especially about the gameplay... I hope you reply this :D TY for your guides, very clear, awesome explanations.
+howyoudoin1234567 Schirminator for solo cluster arrow physical or cold are the best for sure, in group with someone pulling the monsters into tight packs, fire can take the edge
great guide, thank you! , what do you think about steady aim instead of ambush/archery as fifth passive? , also how do you place the sentries efficiently on maps you arent too familiar with (for players newer to diablo), do you have any tips on that?
+Zlatomir Zlatev currently steady aim is additive, so it scales poorly with other damage modifiers and is therefore not recommended, in 2.4.1 steady aim will be multiplicative and will become top tier damage passive for sure :) sentry placement just takes practice, just make sure you spread them out to get as much slowed as possible
Hello Philos, i want to hear your personal opinion about which build is better for greater rift progression Marauder or Shadow ? Also i can see that the set bonuses are not changes yet because in diablo fans the Marauder is buffed and the shadow is nerfed but still i cannot decide which is better because both seem very powerful.
+Dragomir Nonov they both have similar potential depending on how comfortable you are playing each, marauder is much easier, but it could go either way
+Philosophios Thank you for your response. I have just one more question which might be retarded but ... I am saving my sets on 2.3 like marouder and shadow so the question is when they update the patch are these set bonuses going to change automatically or i will have to farm my sets again?
Hey Philosophios, great video :-) Could you perhaps make a video on full marauder set + chakram build? Would like to see if it is higher grift viable. Keep up the good videos.
+Jakob Larsen you know that's one build i haven't optimized since the changes to s4/m4, i did a few runs last night and it is stronger than i expected, definitely 75-80 viable, it is very similar to this setup so at first i didn't want to make a whole video on the variation, but after running it a bit i think its different and strong enough to warrant a separate video
What do you think about the multishot build with the Yang's? Or is the manticore flat damage to cluster arrow that good? Twice as many multishots with yang's also sounds nice :)
+silus1907 multishot is great with UE/yangs, but not marauders, the big issue with MS mara is the limited range on the sentries, which is the advantage of the cluster setup, having basically unlimited range
Even with all that damage mitigation, you could probably do away with awareness at GR 75. I didn't see you take much spike dmg or anything close to a one shot. I am also loving the buff to Mara. If you you were to replace awareness with another passive, which would it be?
+Nathanael Martinez at 6:07 i died, and i proc'd a couple more times, but i do mention not running awareness if you dont have a hellfire, but if you have 5 passives i would not drop awareness, it allows you to play more aggressive than otherwise
Great video. But I have a question: Why put paragon points into movement speed? Context: my hardcore guy is at paragon 775, I was #206 on the leaderboard. My regular guy is paragon 950 or so. But, why increase movement speed for this build at the expense of dexterity points? I assume I'm missing something. I can see why some builds do need it, but why this one?
Lol just hit the boards 800's by completing 67... The HP pools start to get unreal past this point. Since i'm playing on HC it also gets considerably more dangerous.
Philosophios, any tips for getting a better Manticore? I've used 3000 souls rerolling legendaries and gotten only 3 terrible ancient rolls out of all that. I've been to kadala a million times and never gotten an Ancient Manticore...in fact I've only ever received a few leg Manticores. I've upgraded rare itmes and again Manticores are always the last bow to drop. It's pathetic!!! I'm close to giving up on this game coz I feel the effort you put in doesn't get rewarded a lot of the time. I'm an 875 paragon DH cluster build with 2.5 million damage and I can't get beyond grift 72. I can do 73 time and time again without dying but run out of time. It's driving me nuts!!!
Hi nice vid and explanation about all,since U did that video Blizz nerf mara few days ago. Before nerfed I finsh 77 with out Ancient wepon ,easy with cold cluter and Bane of Stricken instead Taeguk .And now after nerfed it look like the Mara is not that strong at it was so as I see it UE have same opportunity 2 go hight same as Mara set.
+D3 Paranoja (Paranoja) i mentioned the numbers are still being tweaked, but the idea and foundation still works great, so i don't see the point, having said that, 80 is not really pushing the limits here, so i do expect UE to be capable of 80 also, just not as easily
Why isnt the good old classic cluster arrow rune "Loaded for Bear" a good alternative? 850% Damage on the impact and another 4x250% from the bombs? (Compared to the most popular physical alternative that gives 650% on the impact and 2x600% on the rockets). Switching away the passive "Ballistics" that only affect the rockets, by "Steady Aim" that gives a flat 20% overall damage and next to 100% uptime? 850% is still over 30% more damage on the impact and with steady aim that number would go up to 56% more damage and the bombs 4x300% to be equally good as one missile with ballistics, however the missile only hitting one target. Since we use a huge buff on the "Cluster" (and "Sentry" that shoots Cluster) then the impact damage should be more favorable than the side effects? I do understand that switching to Fire will result in a bit off-synergy with all other attacks that are physical such as Vengeance, Companions and Evasive Fire with Hardened rune however the Cluster is the main damage source by far...what do you think?
There was a huge discution about this on reddit. LFB is best in dense rifts. But in general SS is best. It has better single target dps from the rockets and synergy, vengence seethe and companions do physical damage.
why you recommand cloak of the garwulf over visage of gunes? also isnt archery better then balistics? i played rift 74 with loaded for bear on cluster arrow with fire dmg and i find it better dunno any ideeas?
Is Kreidershot + frost elemental arrow viable at all in this build? I love my cold DH and frost arrow is so good, especially with these changes it seems. With Reaper's Wraps, I dont usually run out of hatred so I'd probably replace EF with Elemental arrow.
Yes, you do get all of them out with their passives, but you can only use one of the actives - please tell me I am wrong, I would like to have all actives aswell o:
+Vaylynn you are wrong, just check yourself, equip it unruned then activate the ability and look at your sheet damage increase... you get all active and passive bonuses with marauder 2 piece, as I said in the video...
+Niztheundead currently its very close between shadow and marauder, these two specs play so differently i expect it to come down to personal playstyle preference, some people just won't do well with shadow
i use the same as you but instead of the taeguk, i use bane of the stricken for the rift lord fast kills. That thing adds up pretty well per what people tested. instead of ambush, i use steady aim. It is perfect pairing with the zae's stone of vengeance. I feel 20% less initially than ambush, but a consistent 20% increase dmg rather than a quick nuke of 25% of their health and then useless after that. us.battle.net/d3/en/profile/Palinius-1141/hero/73269932
the footage is old, added annotation at 0:08 with mention of the gem change, use powerful or stricken instead (since that was basically the only change, i didn't make a whole new video)
+OverDev most my items arent even ancient, i have no augmented ancient gear, and i just did GR71 without much issues. attacks are slow, but, if u think about it... each atk u do, its 5 sentry attacks + urs (if ur hitting a target)... so 6 cluster atks every hit. on top of that, cluster dmg is aoe.. so its massive amount of atks each time you do ur atk. also make sure ur sentries are placed properly, so you can reuse some of them for another room. Line of sight for sentries is key with this build :)
Can't get past GR 75. I have 10/13 ancient gear and 7/10 enchanted with +350 dex. I get absolutely obliterated by affixes even with toughness at ~200. The damage isn't the best too, without CoE procs I can barely crit around 5 bilions..takes ages to kill elites
+Luca “Innerspace” Bazuka really? by the way you're describing your gear... you're way more geared then i am and i crit ezily 10billion without the CoE proc... 30billion + when it does... 100bill + when i have power shrine active... ive done GR71 pretty ezily too with my setup and using garwulf in my cube rather than gunes. whats ur CHD? im hoping at least 450% ...
+LordDivine1 With the recent rocket nerfs, SS is the way to go. Since only one mob can be hit by a rocket per cluster shot as well, elite/RG damage is significantly higher with SS.
Tephnos Just woke up and no coffee yet... SS? :o If it's the Shadow set, that makes me hella sad, coz I was really looking forward to getting the old Marauder DH back :(
+MonkeyKing959 It's a cube recipe. Combine an item, some gems (green ones to get dex), and a legendary gem (the level of which determines how much dex you get (lvl 60 gem = 300dex). Note that the legendary gem is destroyed in this process.
that's about normal for a starter foundation setup, my damage is inflated from ancient items with nearly perfect rolls, augments, and high paragon, you'll notice my dexterity is nearly 18k in this video, good thing is sheet damage isn't too crucial for the build to perform and you have lots of room for progression
yes, every legendary item has about a 10% chance to be ancient, you cannot force items to be ancient but when upgrading or rerolling through the cube there is the chance for ancient, just gotta keep playing and eventually they will turn up

+Brant Just I agree, and that's why I'm subbed. Every season, no bullcrap, just straight to the point awesome focused guides.
As soon as we got the reworked M6 notes I knew this was going to be the way to go. I'm proud of myself :D
+Euphytoseable shadow is really strong also, but marauder is definitely the easier build to go higher ;)
Ive made a variation of this build, instead of limited area of polar station, I switch to guardian turret for more defense, and changed belt to witching hour.

very informative.. great guide!
+Neil Tatro ty :)
Thank you, This helped me so much and look forward to any other videos you put out man. Keep up the great work! :)
The good thing is, that Marauder's set is now giving even higher dmg bonuses per sentry! Gotta try it!
Good Guide as Always :D. Originally had non set item multi shot build for GR 45 and 55. Then went with UE build for GR 60's/mid 60's. Eventually pushing higher needed Marauders.
I have seen some other builds that I tried like the LoN suicide build but it was too gear dependent. I might test out the Natalya build this time to try push higher.
I edited this slightly as i used cloak of garwulf instead of what you had. Other than that, great build.
+Mike Mills in the description 'visage of gunes should be cloak of the garwulf'
your videos explains everything so well. great job on your vids

+D3 Paranoja (Paranoja) wat? the most recent nerf to mara hardly hurt the potential, i did 80 with 2 keys last night post-nerf...
+Philosophios I am only saying on video U did U have Maticore with cluster dmg what can go up to 100% now is 80% after nerf.

There was a huge discution about this on reddit. LFB is best in dense rifts. But in general SS is best. It has better single target dps from the rockets and synergy, vengence seethe and companions do physical damage.
+Ryan J. Do you have the link to that discussion I can't find it?
us.battle.net/d3/en/forum/topic/16283529024
why you recommand cloak of the garwulf over visage of gunes? also isnt archery better then balistics? i played rift 74 with loaded for bear on cluster arrow with fire dmg and i find it better dunno any ideeas?
Garwulf and Visage offer very similar damage reductions but Garwulf gives you a bit more damage and 2 more bodyblockers with the wolves.
Is Kreidershot + frost elemental arrow viable at all in this build? I love my cold DH and frost arrow is so good, especially with these changes it seems. With Reaper's Wraps, I dont usually run out of hatred so I'd probably replace EF with Elemental arrow.
+LoganMan4 not really, the manticore buffs cluster arrow, so no room for kridershot
Companion DOES matter for it's active. Get Bat for 40 Hatred or Wolf for 30% Damage
+Vaylynn no it doesn't, with m2 you get all of them... 100% sure
Yes, you do get all of them out with their passives, but you can only use one of the actives - please tell me I am wrong, I would like to have all actives aswell o:
+Vaylynn you are wrong, just check yourself, equip it unruned then activate the ability and look at your sheet damage increase... you get all active and passive bonuses with marauder 2 piece, as I said in the video...
Just curious, but i know early on a few demon hunters were testing chakram builds. How far does chakram fall behind in terms of great rift levels.
+Devon Dara chakram was good in the hybrid build s4/m4, but they removed that damage interaction and i hadn't spent time with the build since
+Philosophios Ok thanks
+Devon Dara update, M6 physical chakram can do 75-80 with relative ease, video on that setup recently posted :)
which build do you think is the strongest in the new patch?
+Niztheundead currently its very close between shadow and marauder, these two specs play so differently i expect it to come down to personal playstyle preference, some people just won't do well with shadow
+Philosophios unhallowed is actually looking pretty good too now, since the shadow/mara nerfs :o
What would you take: Restraint non ancient - 6%Critchance, 50% critdamage and 20% aoe or Restraint in ancient 560 dex, 6% critchance, 50% critdamage?
+JazeAMV area dmg is better than dex, but next patch you will want ancient for despair enchants
+Philosophios oh well. I love your videos and you reply on my questions pretty fast, thanks man.
So I haven't really played m6 since the turrets fired on their own is loaded for bear not good anymore?
i use the same as you but instead of the taeguk, i use bane of the stricken for the rift lord fast kills. That thing adds up pretty well per what people tested. instead of ambush, i use steady aim. It is perfect pairing with the zae's stone of vengeance. I feel 20% less initially than ambush, but a consistent 20% increase dmg rather than a quick nuke of 25% of their health and then useless after that.
us.battle.net/d3/en/profile/Palinius-1141/hero/73269932
How is taeguk being proc'd? I can't figure it out for the life of me.
ikr lol itn's not channeling o.O
the footage is old, added annotation at 0:08 with mention of the gem change, use powerful or stricken instead (since that was basically the only change, i didn't make a whole new video)
the items arent ancient but I die in GRift 48 a view times on paragon 390.
And the attacks are very slow.
+OverDev do you have zoeys belt and garwulf in cube?
+OverDev most my items arent even ancient, i have no augmented ancient gear, and i just did GR71 without much issues.
attacks are slow, but, if u think about it... each atk u do, its 5 sentry attacks + urs (if ur hitting a target)... so 6 cluster atks every hit. on top of that, cluster dmg is aoe.. so its massive amount of atks each time you do ur atk.
also make sure ur sentries are placed properly, so you can reuse some of them for another room. Line of sight for sentries is key with this build :)
why physical instead of using cold with maelstrom?
Is attack speed still not import for breakpoints, or is that not a thing anymore?
+Stinso NI yea, because the sentries attack when you do there are effectively no relevant breakpoints
how are you getting 2,800 damage when i have only 699 with the same build???
+Haughty Diskette Probably his paragon, has something to do with it.
ancient items
plus augumenting plus his paragon points
how do you get the old d3 damage text? instead of the clumped numbers (2945m etc)
+FxnctionLive Options > Gameplay > Interface, check "Display Long Floating Numbers"

Can't get past GR 75. I have 10/13 ancient gear and 7/10 enchanted with +350 dex. I get absolutely obliterated by affixes even with toughness at ~200. The damage isn't the best too, without CoE procs I can barely crit around 5 bilions..takes ages to kill elites
+Luca “Innerspace” Bazuka really? by the way you're describing your gear... you're way more geared then i am and i crit ezily 10billion without the CoE proc... 30billion + when it does... 100bill + when i have power shrine active... ive done GR71 pretty ezily too with my setup and using garwulf in my cube rather than gunes.
whats ur CHD? im hoping at least 450% ...
I have not played the recent ptr, where do these 300+ bonus dexterity come from?
+cdk993 2.4 thingie... lets you sacrifice legendary gems to add stats on stuff afaik. Higher level gem, more stats.
+LordDivine1 that's correct, new cube recipe
Is cold also viable for GR's that high? I've always loved the cold rune for cluster arrow
+LordDivine1 it is, yes, the difference is slight, but i think cold is a few tiers weaker
Philosophios Probably what I was expecting I guess. More or less... Thanks =)
+LordDivine1 With the recent rocket nerfs, SS is the way to go. Since only one mob can be hit by a rocket per cluster shot as well, elite/RG damage is significantly higher with SS.
Tephnos Just woke up and no coffee yet... SS? :o If it's the Shadow set, that makes me hella sad, coz I was really looking forward to getting the old Marauder DH back :(
+LordDivine1 I meant Shooting Stars haha
How do you get the extra dex from Cadesann's despair?
+MonkeyKing959 It's a cube recipe. Combine an item, some gems (green ones to get dex), and a legendary gem (the level of which determines how much dex you get (lvl 60 gem = 300dex). Note that the legendary gem is destroyed in this process.
oh ok thanks
looks like taeguk doesnt work on this build anymore
+DazmoTube there should be an annotation with that at 8seconds
How come i followed the build down to where im missing just 1 of the rings, but my dmg is like 500k and yours is 2.8m in the vid
that's about normal for a starter foundation setup, my damage is inflated from ancient items with nearly perfect rolls, augments, and high paragon, you'll notice my dexterity is nearly 18k in this video, good thing is sheet damage isn't too crucial for the build to perform and you have lots of room for progression
I see, is getting ancient items done the same way as the normal ones or can you actually upgrade them to that?
yes, every legendary item has about a 10% chance to be ancient, you cannot force items to be ancient but when upgrading or rerolling through the cube there is the chance for ancient, just gotta keep playing and eventually they will turn up
thank you
Can I still get ancient items by re rolling legendaries in cube?
+Tavis Lin yes, only thing the cube doesn't have chance to give ancient is transmute set items
+Philosophios awesome thanks
Does enforcer not work on turrents ?
+MoZz it does, but the sentries are doing less than 50% of your damage, so the gem isn't that effective. You are better off buffing your own damage.
correct
Sadly i only have 600k damage :/
Great guide. Thank you :)
