Diablo Immortal: The Highest Damage Demon Hunter
Strafe Multishot Demon Hunter Guide
Strafe Multishot Demon Hunters should use the Explosive Arrow primary attack along with Strafe, Multishot, Vengeance, and Sentry. This setup is the highest dps Demon Hunter build and deals more damage than Impale with the recommended essences before the damage from Sentry is even taken into account. Spinning Chakram has an essence that makes Spinning Chakram fire with your primary attack which is great early on but the recommended build deals higher damage without Spinning Chakram. With the recommended build Strafe will fire your primary attacks, Multishot will fire with your primary attacks while Strafing, and Vengeance will cause your primary attack to fire two additional shots. The Strafe Multishot Demon Hunter is overall one of the highest damage builds in the game at low to mid resonance levels.​

Strafe Multishot Demon Hunter Skills and Equipment:
​
Skills
1. Explosive Arrow (primary skill)
2. Strafe
3. Multishot
4. Vengeance
5. Sentry (for increased damage because you will already have high mobility with Strafe)
​​
Main Hand
Fangspitter - Multishot now empowers your Primary Attack to fire Multishots.
​
Off-Hand
Painsower - Strafe now fires your primary attack at the closest enemy.
​
Main Hand 2
Turmoil - Strafe now fires homing rockets at a nearby enemy (deals more damage than Impale essences).
​​​
Off-Hand 2
Hellbinder - Explosive Arrow now also causes enemies to burn over two seconds.
​
Helmet
Eyes Ablaze - Multishot causes an explosion when hitting burning enemies.
Raptor's Beak - Increases your damage after Multishot (use this in normalized PvP because Hellbinder will be disabled).
​
Shoulders
Hailfire - Multishot also fires two homing rockets at enemies.
​
Chest
Flayer's Banquet - Vengeance now causes Primary Attacks to inflict Bleed and increases the damage taken by enemies.
​
Legs
Ruinous Path - Vengeance now increases all damage you deal and significantly increases your evasion rating.​
​​​​
Recommended Sets
1. Vithu's Urges (2-4 Set) - Increases beneficial effects duration by 30% (three of your skills are beneficial effects).
2. Grace of the Flagellant (4 Set) - Increases channeled damage, ground effects damage, and continuous damage by 15% and deals damage after every 5 hits to the same target.
​​​
Best Curses
1. Lashed - Using your primary attack gives a chance to generate three crackling whips that damage enemies.
2. Atrophied - Continual damage causes a dark field to appear under enemies that deals damage over time.​
​
Best 5 Star Legendary Gems
1. Roiling Consequence - Increases your critical hit chance and causes critical hits to burn enemies.
2. Seeping Bile - Gives a 4% chance to poison enemies on hit which deals damage over time (great for fast attacks).
3. Maw of the Deep - Used at high ranks to deal damage, gain a damage buff, draw in enemies, and stun enemies.
4. ​Starfire Shard - Useful for PvP to deal damage and stun enemies inside the Maw of the Deep legendary gem effect.
5. Void Spark - Deals AoE damage that's extremely effective in dungeons and the new PvP map.
6. Blood-Soaked Jade - Increases all damage and gives a significant boost to movement speed.
Note: Roiling Consequence and Seeping Bile should be leveled first because they're the best two 5 star gems for this build. Blood-Soaked Jade is weaker at lower ranks but becomes one of the strongest legendary gems at high ranks.​
​
Best 2 Star Legendary Gems
1. Pain Clasp - Gives increased damage against enemies with a continual damage effect on them.
2. Viper's Bite - Poisons enemies dealing high damage over time.
3. Mother's Lament - Increases your critical hit chance and releases a blood spike that causes enemies to bleed.
4. Power & Command - Increases skill damage and primary damage alternating back and forth and sometimes dispels.
5. Fervent Fang - Gives enemies a stacking damage taken increase each time they are hit with an attack.
​
Best Starter 1 Star Legendary Gems
1. Entropic Well - An excellent 1 star gem for skill damage that can be replaced at higher levels with a strong 5 star gem.
2. Berserker's Eye - Increases 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.
Note: Replace the Everlasting Torment one star legendary gem first because the damage increase on Pain Clasp from damage over time is already triggered with the Hellbinder offhand essence.
​
Best Familiars
1. Savior Duskprowler - Look for a 170+ Resilience legendary Duskprowler that has Savior which provides a cheat death. The 170+ Resilience lowers the cooldown for Savior but can be lower to make it more affordable.
2. Rare Duskprowler - Relentless Strikes is the next best skill and gives a chance to cast the Duskprowler shield twice in 3 seconds. Innervate which gives a chance to reset the player's skill cooldown, Steel Hide which gives a chance to block, Precision which gives the shield critical hit chance, and Tenacity which lowers the cooldown of the shield are also desirable.
3. Magic Duskprowler - Duskprowler shields are hard to replace so a rare ability or magic Duskprowler is the budget option.
​
Regular Gems
Prioritize Tourmalines for added damage in red sockets and Citrines for Potency which increases harmful effects durations in yellow sockets. You should use your highest refinement Aquamarines and Sapphires which give increased armor and armor penetration in blue sockets. You can optionally combine all of your Rubies which give life and Topazes which give resistances into one Ruby and one Topaz and socket them into your equipment for a higher level of refinement. Gems give refinement based on the quality of the gem and refinement increases the main stats of the piece of equipment.
​
Gem Notes
The Everlasting Torment one star legendary gem should be replaced eventually because it's not needed for the damage increase on the Pain Clasp legendary gem when the recommended Hellbinder offhand essence is equipped. The Pain Clasp legendary gem deals increased damage when the enemy has a damage over time effect on them. The Entropic Well and Berserker's Eye one star legendary gems are both strong at rank 10 but you should eventually replace them with leveled 5 star gems once you can afford them. The Frozen Heart legendary gem which gives a shield is sometimes recommended for defenses in PvP but isn't recommended for a Demon Hunter because your damage is more important than your defenses on this build. When using the Roiling Consequence and Mother's Lament legendary gems which give increased critical hit chance you should also roll critical hit damage on every piece of gear with Reforge Stones.​
