Tips from Game8 | This build allows players to kite enemies well and deal the bulk of their damage through Explosive Arrows and Rain of Vengeance — the former especially during Vengeance's uptime. A solid blend of single-target and AoE damage rolled into one straightforward playstyle. |

---|
Gem Name | Effect |
---|---|
Berserker's Eye | Increases all damage you deal by 5.00%, but increases all damage you take by 6%. Increases your Critical Hit Chance by 1%. Unlocks at Rank 3 |
Ca'arsen's Invigoration | Increases the speed of your Primary Attack by 6%. Increases the damage of your primary attack by 2%. Unlocks at Rank 3 |
Bloody Reach | Increases all damage you deal by 2.00% for every 2 yards between you and the enemy hit. Maximum increase of 8% at 8 yards. Your attacks have a 0.3% chance to decrease enemy attack and movement speeds by 35% for 3 seconds. Unlocks at Rank 3 |
Howler's Call | Your Primary Attack has a 10% chance to summon a charging spirit wolf that inflicts 150% base damage + 1458 to all enemies in its path. Cannot occur more often than once every 20 seconds. The spirit wolf has a 12% chance to Stun enemies for 3 seconds. Unlocks at Rank 3 |
Blood-Soaked Jade | Increases all damage you deal by up to 8% while at full Life, with a minimum bonus of 4% while at low Life. Increases your Movement Speed by 10%. Take 2% decreased damage while below 50% Life. Unlocks at Rank 3 |
Fervent Fang | Each time you deal damage to an enemy, that enemy now takes 0.80% increased from your attacks, up to a maximum increase of 8% at 10 stacks. All damage you deal to Elite monsters increased by 1.5% Unlocks at Rank 3 |
Demon Hunters, being ranged damage dealers, can prioritize damage boosts before survivability. Their main source of damage are their Primary Attacks, so slotting Legendary Gems that enhance these attacks will help them keep up in terms of damage, especially in PvE.
Safe to use in PvE since you should always keep your distance from your targets, and you won't feel the increase in the damage you take. However, this is a no-no in PvP as other players can close in real quick and execute their combos.
Like what was mentioned above, Attack Speed boosts are great for Demon Hunters, especially while Vengeance is active. This Legendary Gem also grants Primary Attack damage bonus at Rank 3.
This gem adds on-hit effects to your Primary Attacks. You can use Lightning Core as an early game placeholder, but as soon as you get your hands on a Howler's Call, use it instead as it can deal more damage with the same effect cooldown.
A staple gem for Demon Hunters in PvE and PvP as this gem increases their damage depending on the distance between their targets. At Rank 3, this gem also gives your attacks a chance to cripple your opponent's attack and movement speed.
A good replacement for Berserker's Eye in PvP as it doesn't increase the damage you take. Its only drawback is that the damage bonus can drop (down to 4%) along with your HP, while the movement speed bonus remains unaffected.
Due to the Demon Hunter's rapid attacks and skills, especially with Vengeance and Rain of Vengeance, they can almost instantly ramp up the damage boost of this gem to its maximum.
Lv | Skill Type |
Effect |
---|---|---|
3 |
Rain of Vengeance
|
Fire a massive volley of arrows into the air that rain down for several seconds, dealing X damage to all enemies in the area over 4 seconds. |
15 |
Daring Swing
|
Use a rope to swing to a nearby location, dealing X damage to enemies on the way while they cannot attack you. Maximum 2 charges. |
50 |
Vengeance
|
Active: Transform into the physical embodiment of Vengeance for 6 seconds, causing every Primary Attack to launch 2 additional shots for X damage each. Passive: Gain 3% increased movement speed for each nearby enemy stacking up to 10 times. |
Vengeance is the skill that you should always bring whether in PvE or PvP. This skill shreds hordes in dungeons and can hit multiple, distant players in the Battleground. The same goes with Rain of Vengeance against PvE enemies, but will need to be enhanced by Hailstone Shoulders to be effective in PvP.
Lastly, Daring Swing is a skill that Demon Hunters should never be without. It allows them to zoom around the field to get out of sticky situations or to pursue their targets. For PvP builds, you might want to enhance your Daring Swing with Boundless Ingenuity and Chillwrath Mantle.

The Hungerer | Off Hand | Legendary | Crossbow Shot: Crossbow Shot will now pierce through enemies and strike additional enemies behind. |
Hellbinder | Off Hand | Legendary | Explosive Arrow: Explosive Arrow now also causes enemies to Burn for X damage over 2 seconds. |
Frozen Guardian's Sight | Head | Legendary | Sentry: Sentry becomes empowered with frost, damaging and Chilling enemies. |
Vision of the Lost | Head | Legendary | Vengeance: During Vengeance, each defeated enemy increases the remaining duration of Vengeance by 0.2 seconds, up to a maximum increase of 2.4 seconds. |
Boundless Ingenuity | Head | Legendary | Daring Swing: Maximum charges on Daring Swing increased by 1. |
Hailstone Shoulders | Shoulder | Legendary | Rain of Vengeance: Rain of Vengeance becomes empowered with frost, damaging and Chilling enemies. |
Chillwrath Mantle | Shoulder | Legendary | Daring Swing: Daring Swing now fires ice arrows at the ground, forming an icy path that continually damages and Chills. |
Petahm's Secret Arsenal | Chest | Legendary | Knockback Shot: Knockback Shot becomes empowered with frost, leaving a frozen trail in its path that damages and Chills enemies. |
Heart of Vengeance | Chest | Legendary | Vengeance: Vengeance cooldown decreased by 15%. |
Inescapable Raptor | Legs | Legendary | Knife Trap: Knife Trap becomes Frost Trap, damaging and Chilling enemies when it explodes. |
Master Alchemist's Faulds | Legs | Legendary | Smoke Screen: Smoke Screen instead throws a gas bomb at a location, continually damaging all nearby enemies. |
Coff's Unrelenting Fury | Legs | Legendary | Vengeance: During Vengeance, every 2 Primary attacks will cause you to launch 1 additional rocket that deals X damage to a nearby target. |
These are currently the best Legendary Gear for Demon Hunters. Each of these items significantly improve most of Demon Hunter's key skills and are crucial to almost every endgame build out there.
Vision of the Lost, Heart of Vengeance, and Coff's Unrelenting Fury further increases Vengeance's effectiveness against multiple enemies.
Most of these recommended gear give Control effects on your skills, which are very important in the Battleground, especially with the Feasting Baron's Pack Set.
All Demon Hunter Weapons and Equipment
Attribute | Effect |
---|---|
Attack Speed | Increases the speed of your skills and primary attacks. |
Critical Hit Chance | Increases chance of your attacks doing a critical hit (double damage) |
Critical Hit Damage | Improves the damage of your critical strikes by a flat rate (1% critical hit damage increases our critical hit from 200% to 201%) |
Fortitude | Provides armor and armor penetration. |
Strength | Increases the damage of Barbarians, Crusaders, Demon Hunters, and Monks. Provides little benefit to the classes not mentioned. |
Strength is the most important stat you should look for as it directly increases the damage of your attacks. Attack Speed and Critical Hit Chance work well together as these increases your chances of doubling your damage. Critical Hit Damage receives lower priority since critical hits always deal at least twice your normal damage, which is a huge boost already.
Other than Strength, the other base attribute you should always look for when choosing a gear is Fortitude, as it provides both offense and defense bonuses.
