Diablo Immortal: The Best Minion Demon Hunter

PvP Minion Demon Hunter Guide

Minion Demon Hunters should use the Explosive Arrow primary along with Strafe, Vengeance, Escape, and Spinning Chakram for CC. With the recommended build Strafe summons minions, Vengeance summons a shadow minion, and Escape makes you invisible. Spinning Chakram should be used because it can carry multiple opponents a short distance and then stun and slow them. This allows you to escape in fights while your minions are still dealing damage to your opponents. You should summon minions from a safe distance and you should also cast minions nearby objectives in Battlegrounds and Tower Wars to help out your team and then go invisible with Escape. The PvP Minion Demon Hunter build is a solid build for PvP and does especially well in PvP when the build is played defensively.

Paragons & Legendary Skills: PvP Minion Demon Hunter Build

1. Slinger is the best damage paragon for this build because it increases your damage and critical hit chance with range.

2. Gladiator is the best PvP paragon tree for this build because it gives a cheat death and helps with loss of control.

3. Vanquisher is the best paragon tree for increased magic find and has increased damage and attack speed on kills.

4. Harbinger can be used in Erebban for an absorb shield, movement speed, and to move unhindered through enemies.

5. Survivor is recommended in Vanguard when you have a low charm because it has a cheat death that works in Vanguard.

6. The recommended legendary skill is Lightning Rod which deals damage after 10 attacks on an enemy within 3 seconds.

7. Below you can find an image for the best paragon for damage and the second image is the best paragon for PvP.

Best 5 Star Legendary Gems

1. Roiling Consequence - Increases your critical hit chance and causes critical hits to burn enemies.

2. Seeping Bile - Deals damage over time and slows enemies movement speed (also triggers the Pain Clasp gem).

3. Blood-Soaked Jade - Gives increased damage, reduces damage taken below 50% life, and increases movement speed.

4. Stormvault - Useful at rank 5+ to create a storm that damages enemies and slows their movement speed at rank 5+.

5. Blood Floe - Increases your damage, critical hit chance, critical hit damage, and causes enemies to bleed.

6. Fated Trail - Deals damage over time as a percentage of your life, shatters enemies' armor, and immobilizes enemies.

7. Starfire Shard - Deals AoE damage, stuns opponents, and causes the ground to burn enemies over time.

Note: One gem slot should be reserved for the one star Freedom and Devotion gem to increase your minions' durations.

Best 2 Star Legendary Gems

1. Bloody Reach - Increases your damage based on the distance to your summon and then the distance to the enemy.

2. Pain Clasp - Gives high increased damage against enemies that have a continuous damage effect on them.

3. Viper's Bite - Deals damage over time and can kill opponents after cheat deaths (also triggers the Pain Clasp gem).

5. Specter Glass - Increases the damage taken by enemies after critical hits and increases your critical hit chance.

6. Fervent Fang - Gives enemies a stacking damage taken increase each time they're hit with your attacks.

8. Abiding Curse - Greatly lowers enemies' attack speed and movement speed and gives a damage increase.

Note: Fervent Fang and Specter Glass should be replaced first if you're upgrading to higher resonance five star gems.

Best Starter 1 Star Legendary Gems

1. Freedom and Devotion - Highly recommended to increase the duration of your minions and increase their damage.

2. Berserker's Eye - Increases all of your damage and critical hit chance but also increases your damage taken.

3. Everlasting Torment - Deals damage over time on critical hits and increases your attack speed.

4. Faltergrasp (PvP) - Disables opponents' dash skills on critical hits and greatly reduces their movement speed.

Note: Freedom and Devotion is highly recommended to increase your minions' durations even at higher resonance levels.

Best Familiars

1. Savior Duskprowler - Look for a 170+ Resilience legendary Duskprowler with the Savior passive skill which provides a cheat death and temporary damage immunity. The 170+ Resilience on the familiar lowers the cooldown of Savior.

2. Broodtalon/Skitterwight - Can have Savior which provides a cheat death and Lingering Wounds for increased damage.

3. Ash Sweeper - Ash Sweepers are strong in PvP because they damage nearby enemies and mark an enemy reducing their damage by 20% for 3 seconds. They're also capable of having 170+ Resilience to reduce the cooldown of Savior.

4. Any Savior Familiar - You can use any familiar with Savior for a cheat death and great passive skills as an alternative.

5. Rare Duskprowler - Relentless Strikes is the next best skill because it gives a chance to cast the Duskprowler shield twice. Innervate gives a chance at resetting one of the player's skill cooldowns, Steel Hide gives a chance to block, Precision gives critical hit chance, and Tenacity lowers the cooldown of the Duskprowler shield which are also desirable.

Note: Broodtalons and Skitterwights have status effects over a duration which increases the duration of Lingering Wounds.

Normal Gems

Prioritize Tourmalines for added damage in red sockets and prioritize Topazes for resistances which lowers harmful effects durations on you in yellow sockets. You can also combine all of your bound Citrines which give potency and Rubies which give life and socket them into your gear if they have higher refinement. You should use your highest refinement Aquamarines and Sapphires which give increased armor and armor penetration in blue sockets. Gems give refinement based on their quality and refinement increases the attributes on the equipment the gems are socketed in.

Gem Notes

The new Fated Trail five star gem is a powerful legendary gem once you have high increased maximum life from your resonance. Legendary gems that provide increased skill damage like Colossus Engine, Power & Command, and Entropic Well don't increase the damage of summons so they shouldn't be used for this build. The Blood Floe legendary gem is strong when it's combined with multiple sources of critical hit chance and critical hit damage. The Viper's Bite and Seeping Bile gems both trigger the large damage increase on the Pain Clasp legendary gem from there being continuous damage on the enemy. When using increased critical hit chance legendary gems you should also try to roll increased critical hit damage on every piece of equipment using Reforge Stones for increased damage. The Seeping Bile and Stormvault legendary gems can be used for PvP to deal damage and slow opponents near your minions. The Frozen Heart five star gem is important to chill opponents which slows their attack and movement speed and it gives a large absorb shield.
