If the dart build isn't viable at high GR I guess I'll be a LoN bombardment crusader. LoN Carnevil and LoN Firebats are supposed to be the top WD builds. Helltooth Gargs is supposed to be the easiest to gear/play. Obvious the LoN builds are going to take longer to put together and like you said Carnevil was bugged until yesterday, so people were avoiding it. For what it's worth non-seasonal the top WD is running LoN Firebats. | ||

I just don't think it will ever be very good. ;/ I used a frost hydra build using serpent sparker with T&T and a tal rasha set and using the passive skill that boosts the damage of a spell by 60% after 5 casts of a signature skill. It grants a lot of area damage and leaves you with plenty of AP for your other spells to keep your tal stacks up. Mammoth hydra also works but two of those with T&T will cause a lot of lag. | ||

There are no good meteor build this season, because the only legendary affix specific to meteor only gives a ~x2.5 damage multiplier (Nilfur Boots) Compare it to Arcane Orb (x3 AND x7 for total x21 with unstable scepter and triumvirate) or Explosive Blast (x4 AND x1.16 for ~x5 with great damage reduction) and you see that it's outclassed It can still be fun though | ||

First, Flame Blades got gutted - the (good) old serpent sparker builds would basically set up the hydras and then spam flame blades into density, netting them somewhere north of 300 stacks. That would about triple their damage. Current flame blades is good for at most 30 stacks, so it's basically worthless. A somewhat heavy-handed balancing change. Two, as Thezzy said, the lag is a major issue once you start pushing into the 70s and 80s and stuff starts taking a long time to die. Three, its competition is just a lot better. It's the same reason meteor tals is dead, Twister DMO is just way way stronger for groups and even for solo. | ||

So until then, meteors it is. | ||

The season journey gives you the set, the first 2 pieces are given when you get to 70 I believe, the other 4 come later on, just keep working on completing the chapters. | ||

hit lvl 70 Kill Kulle on T2 Complete Grift 20+ and obligatory reference that the gifts are once / season / account. So open them wisely if you plan to play multiple characters. | ||

You need good ancient versions of very specific items for most slots. And if your lacking a few ancient versions, even with all the items, Helltooth is still pretty much better. | ||

You get the first two pieces for hitting 70 / chap 1 or something. the second gift comes from killing kulle at T2+ and the third from clearing GR20+ | ||

I'm doing 5pc UE with a RORG and cindercoat in the cube and I'm at the point (GR 63) where I need to swap out to COE, but I don't wanna lose the cindercoat! It just offers too much damn regen. In other words, marauder 6 is far and away the best set for demon hunters this season. Sad really, after all these years it's quite boring to play...but getting 60% dr from the belt, mega chakrams, aquila cuirass, resists from all followers, 5 turrets all firing your chakrams with insane damage...it's just too damn good. It's actually sickening, really...How is UE supposed to compete with that? | ||

I've been trying to get a 2 set so I can run Traveler's/COE and have a RORG in the cube for a cindercoat (or aq cuirass when I do marauder chakram). I never realized that the Pledge has a warm up period! I don't know exact numbers but when I use it the "flow" time between the stopped/damage bonus and the moving/defense bonus feels like 5-6 seconds. It's longer than I expected. | ||

The first post was implying you actually had to complete chapters of the season journey to get the set. You do not. You get 2 pieces from hitting 70. Two from killing Zoltun Kuul on Torment 2. And the last two from completing Grift 20 solo. The season journey has (almost, they are objectives in it) nothing to do with it. | ||
