It is the ultimate Sentry build: you become the Sentry. LoD Rapid Fire however, goes a step further than that. In Season 27, thanks to Sanctified Powers, a unique build was made possible due to Sanctified Strafe, the LoD Strafe Cluster Bombs (see Mechanics).Įmbodiment of the Marauder is the DH set designed about Sentries. At the same time this build outperformed all other DH builds by such a large margin, that you were forced to play it to compete.įinally, after 4 seasons of Rapid Fire tyranny, Gears of Dreadlands was introduced in Season 21, giving us a superior solo push build in GoD HA Demon Hunter. Most of the time you just hold Rapid Fire and stare at your buffs and cooldowns, because you need neither move nor aim. Needless to say, such a build doesn't produce very exciting gameplay. All these factors combined, resulted in a build designed entirely around standing still and holding down one button. On top of that Rapid Fire snapshots your Attack Speed when you start channeling it, giving you extra incentive to never let go of the button.

Sin Seekers further exacerbate this issue by removing Rapid Fire 's channeling cost, letting you channel it indefinitely.

The main problem with Rapid Fire DH comes from Wojahnni Assaulter, which rewards you for channeling Rapid Fire for long periods of time.

And let me tell you, that wasn't a pretty dog. Instead of 4 different builds ( Impale, UE MS, N6M4, and M6 CA) performing within 3 tiers of each other, we suddenly had only one undisputed top dog. The build was so powerful that it immediately claimed the top spot on solo Demon Hunter leaderboards, destroying the fragile balance we had after Season 12 and Season 16 patches. With none of the Demon Hunter's sets working with Rapid Fire, the Legacy of Nightmares set was a natural choice for this build. The Legacy of Dreams Rapid Fire Demon Hunter first became a real build in Season 17, when two of its key items, Wojahnni Assaulter and Sin Seekers, received tremendous buffs.
