Recommended Sets

2. Grace of the Flagellant (4 Set) - Deals bonus damage after damaging an enemy five times.

​​​

Best Curses

1. Lashed - Use at least six items with this curse to make primary attacks cause three damaging whips on cooldown.

2. Wired - Optional to create a surge of lightning on kill that jumps between enemies with a medium length cooldown.

​

Best 5 Star Legendary Gems

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

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

3. Gloom Cask - Damages targets when you use your primary attacks on cooldown and increases their damage.

4. Colossus Engine - Gives increased skill damage, increased area of effect, knockback immunity, and increased size (which increases your movement speed) for a medium duration with a 20 second cooldown.

5. ​Starfire Shard - Deals AoE damage and stuns enemies in PvP inside the Maw of the Deep legendary gem effect.

6. Blood Floe - Lower priority 5 star gem that increases damage, critical hit chance, critical hit damage, and causes bleed.

7. Wulfheort (PvM) - After damaging enemies 5 times you slash them and increase attack speed for you and your allies.

8. Maw of the Deep (PvP) - Used at high ranks to deal damage, gain a damage buff, draw in enemies, and stun enemies.​

9. Echoing Shade (PvM) - Powerful for Demon Hunters because its 1-3 minions fire your strong ranged primary attacks.

10. Seeping Bile (PvP) - Does well with fast attack speeds in PvP to deal damage over time and slows opponents.

Note: The Stormvault gem was knocked off the gem list for PvP with the addition of new legendary gems to the game. It's still a very strong substitute for Seeping Bile for PvP for its slow effect if you have Stormvault at rank 5 or higher.

​

Best 2 Star Legendary Gems

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

2. Mother's Lament - Increases your critical hit chance and releases a blood spike that causes enemies to bleed.

3. Fervent Fang - Gives enemies a stacking damage taken increase each time they are hit with an attack.

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

5. Power & Command - Increases skill damage and primary damage alternating back and forth and sometimes dispels.

​6. Mourneskull - This legacy gem can be used to increase your damage and deal damage but it no longer drops.

7. Crimson Behelit (PvP) - Strong PvP legacy gem with increased damage and reduced damage taken that's drop disabled.

Note: The Viper's Bite legendary gem isn't needed to trigger the damage increase on Pain Clasp from having continuous damage on the enemy because Vengeance already causes bleed with the Flayer's Banquet chest essence.

​

Best Starter 1 Star Legendary Gems

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

2. Entropic Well - An excellent 1 star gem for skill damage that can be replaced at higher levels with a strong 5 star gem.

3. Trickshot Gem - Budget option to lower channeling costs which allows you to channel Strafe for a longer duration.

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

Note: Everlasting Torment and Trickshot Gem should be replaced early on because they're the lowest dps options.

​

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. Any Savior Familiar - Look for any 170+ Resilience familiar with Savior for a cheat death and great passive skills.

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

5. Magic Duskprowler - Duskprowler shields are hard to replace so a rare or magic ability Duskprowler is the budget option.

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 a combination of Citrines and Topazes for potency and resistances in yellow sockets for the highest refinement. Potency increases harmful effects durations on enemies and resistances decrease harmful effects durations on you. Citrines for potency is preferred if you only care about PvM damage but resistances come into play more with PvP. You should also use your highest refinement Aquamarines and Sapphires which give increased armor and armor penetration in blue sockets. You can optionally combine all of your bound Rubies which give life into one or two Rubies and socket them into your equipment if they give more refinement. Gems give refinement based on their quality and refinement increases the attributes on the equipment the gems are socketed in.

​

Gem Notes

The Blood Floe gem is a great option when it's combined with multiple sources of critical hit chance and critical hit damage. The Pain Clasp legendary gem is one of the best two star gems because it gives high increased damage when the enemy has a damage over time effect on them. Gloom Cask is an excellent legendary gem for this build because it damages enemies when you use your primary attacks on cooldown while increasing your primary attacks damage and you'll almost always be using your primary attacks with this build even when you're moving. When using multiple legendary gems that increase your critical hit chance you should also consider using Reforge Stones to roll increased critical hit damage on your equipment for increased damage. The Frozen Heart 5 star legendary gem gives an absorb shield but it's not recommended for a Strafe Demon Hunter in PvP because your damage is more important than your defenses in PvP with this build. ​
