I can't stand playing glass cannons, but made a DH anyway for optimal Sarkoth runs. With the latest banwaves, I'm slowly looking towards some alternatives and farming A1 champion packs seems to be the best we can do right now. Since the gear requirements for successfully botting this with the standard glass cannon DH seem fairly extreme, I decided to try out a tankier approach. The build I'm using right now: Demon Hunter - Game Guide - Diablo III Using gear that cost roughly 3-4 mil (gets me 43k hp, 12.5k dps, 5k armor, 700-800 on all resists, 1.2k LoH and 700 LPS) I can easily faceroll A1 and probably much more while paying next to zero attention (standing in arcane orbs, desecrates, etc.), but things get more difficult when trying to bot. Currently, I'm using the generic routine with the following settings: Code: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <UseAbilityWhenSettings> <Skills> <SkillSetting /> <SkillSetting value="120" type="EveryNSeconds" slot="Secondary" /> <SkillSetting value="95" type="LowHealth" slot="Slot1" /> <SkillSetting value="50" type="LowHealth" slot="Slot2" /> <SkillSetting value="60" type="Unused" slot="Slot3" /> <SkillSetting value="40" type="LowHealth" slot="Slot4" /> </Skills> <DestroyObjectsAction>Primary</DestroyObjectsAction> <DestroyObjectsDistance>10</DestroyObjectsDistance> <PotionHealth>40</PotionHealth> </UseAbilityWhenSettings> Unfortunately, most of that stuff doesn't actually work. Despite setting it to be cast every 2 minutes, the bot never actually casts Chakrams, nor does it use the emergency cooldowns properly even when it still has enough Discipline to do so. Also, I don't see a way to make the bot reasonably use the Sentry skill for the 15% damage reduction. Some of these problems can probably be remedied by writing a custom combat routine, which I intend to look into doing next, but with DB sadly and inexplicably being unable to read resource levels there is a limit to how far things can be improved. Nevertheless, even with all the issues the bot did manage to clear the A1 champion farm profile, though it's pretty rare to see it finish the whole run with zero deaths. Has anyone else tried something similar or have any ideas on how to improve this?
Using same build myself when Im bored with my DH. Can even tank act2 manually without any problems. Gonna take a look what can be done with db
Did some dirty modding of the Belphegor dh rutine Gas grenades, Chakram and Sentry(cant quite figure out how to check if standing inside sentry, if possible at all) currently working
How did you get Chakram working? I always had problems with it, gave up and just switched to Rain of Vengeance, couldn't get the bot to just cast it once instead of spamming. I did get Sentry working. The build itself is pretty great for manual play, but really suffers from the bot being unable to read resource levels. You either spam Caltrops leaving you with zero Discipline for emergency cooldowns or lose out on huge amounts of DPS and LoH healing by using Caltrops very sparingly. Funny thing is, I switched to a Monk for A1 champion runs out of frustration and the bot runs fine, yet I actually find it significantly less survivable than the DH tank. Meh, maybe I should just go Barb like everyone else.
I have almost the same build and I can tank ACT3 without dying almost to anything with my gear but the bot doesnt seem to put Caldrops down, nor use Prep/Battle scars if he is very low on HP. Demon Hunter - Game Guide - Diablo III He does use M4D/ME but doesnt use the nades to gain LOH.
i use this build for my dh D?monenj?gerin - Spielguide - Diablo III running fallendev mod profile (a1) at mp 7 atm http://www.thebuddyforum.com/demonbuddy-forum/demonbuddy-profiles/act-1/118824-a1-inferno-festering-weeping-fields-fd-mod.html min kite range 0 for demonhunter 40k hp all resist 400 300k dps get up to 65m/h xp
