the problem i have with my DH is hatred. i probably need a cindercoat and resource reduction because after about 5-6 shots i am out of hatred and it does not regen very fast so i'm forced to use a generator. just feels clunky to me.
I'm guessing you're using the cluster arrow setup? That skill costs a lot of hatred and for a good reason. It does silly amounts of dmg. The reason there's a build designed around it is because you can get a Cindercoat \ pride's fall \ AND preparation - punishment.
I think preparation is pretty much required for the CA build (uses discipline to give you more hatred). When I use Pride's Fall, I honestly lose count of how many cluster arrows I can fire before I'm out of hatred. Something like 30. And that is 18-30 million per crit. 20 extra discipline from the Natalya bonus really helps. Combine that with the extreme mobility of demon hunters (vault vault vault), and rifts go really fast. T3 elites are dead on my screen almost as fast as they appear.
I've moved away from Pride's Fall in favor of having all 5 companion types active at once. It's more fun. But I might switch back once I get an immortal companion relic. 100% pride's fall uptime and 50% dmg reduction seems too good.
But yeah, you NEED the resource reduction or hatred just seems impossible to keep up. This is why I want all the pieces needed for a physical pet build before I switch. Without taskers, I think CA trumps it.
When it comes to my wizard, I don't like arcane torrent because I have to stop to use it, and it only hits a small area. I like disintegrate more, but it doesn't do as much dmg. I'm definitely going to go towards fire, but I need some fire pieces first. Having just a mirrorball isn't enough I dont think. Im basically farming shards on my DH to spend on my wizard trying to get magefists and Cindercoat first.
