Diving Gas Bomb

This Demon Hunter PvP build focuses on diving into enemy groups to place a gas bomb—a Smoke Screen modified by Master Alchemist's Faulds. This will likely break their formations, or even make them retreat, allowing your team to push objectives.

Since you'll be taking a risky move, you need both Daring Swing and Escape to get in and out of danger.

Legendary Gear Setup

Master Alchemist's Faulds is the core equipment for this build as it completely changes Smoke Screen's effect, and Embermist to reduce the skill's cooldown. Boundless Ingenuity and Chillwrath Mantle enhances your Daring Swing with another charge and a Chill effect to improve your mobility.

Set Gear Setup

You'll need the shield proc from the Untouchable Mountebank set if you want to increase your survivability when placing gas bombs next to your enemies. Since the explosion damage from the 6-piece set bonus won't be that high due to Demon Hunters naturally having low max health, you can save those last two slots for War Rags of Shal'baas' 2-piece set bonus, which increases your Primary Attack damage.

Legendary Gem Setup

The Legendary gems for this build relies on the continuous damage from Vengeance and the gas bomb to trigger their effects. Ramp up the damage boost from Fervent Fang then try to proc the effects of Everlasting Torment and Seeping Bile for maximum damage.

Since you will most likely be at least one Daring Swing away from your targets after using Smoke Screen, the DoT from the two Legendary gems and the gas bomb's damage will be further increased by Bloody Reach.

Stats and Paragon Priorities

Attribute Priorities

Paragon Priorities

Invest your Paragon points on the Survivor tree first if you want to focus on a PvP build as the Vanquisher tree specialization skills only work against monsters.

Unlock Stalwart to get block chance increase for your dives, then spend your next points to unlock Precognition to reduce Stalwart's cooldown. You'll likely take heavy damage when diving, so getting Escape Artist for the movement speed bonus will allow you to retreat behind your allies and recover your health.

After unlocking the Gladiator Paragon tree at lv50, immediately unlock Uncontrollable then spend your next points on getting Quick Witted and its pre-requisites to gain more resistance to CCs. Next specialization skill in line should be Cheat Death as this basically gives you a second life with a 2-minute cooldown, followed by Rapid Recovery as the last specialization skill. Don't forget to switch the active Paragon Tree to Gladiator after unlocking any of these!

How to Play

Dive in and Place a Gas Bomb Use Escape to Create Gaps Retreat with Daring Swing Activate Vengeance for Head-On Combat

Dive in and Place a Gas Bomb

This build's main playstyle is to dive in using a charge of Daring Swing and using Smoke Screen in the middle of an enemy group. Doing this will most likely scatter the group to avoid getting damaged by the gas bomb, which will stop them from advancing and pushing objectives.

Use Escape to Create Gaps

After placing a gas bomb, use Escape on the nearest enemy to slow them down and have them stay longer inside the gas bomb's AoE. Using Escape also lets you dash backwards to avoid immediate aggro from other enemies.

Retreat with Daring Swing

Using Escape won't be enough to stay out of your enemies' range most of the time. For these instances, use another charge of Daring Swing to get behind your allies and recover your health if necessary. If you have Chillwrath Mantle equipped, the chilled trail of Daring Swing will make it more difficult for your pursuers to reach you.

Activate Vengeance for Head-On Combat

Pop your Vengeance whenever you get opportunities to throw in free hits, especially in team fights, or when you get caught in a duel. You can also use this skill against enemies retreating from your gas bomb or those who are stubborn enough to stay.
