Demon Hunter specializes in ranged combat. Using her reliable bows and crossbows, dancing between groups of enemies, who are unable to lay a finger on her. The key aspect of playing this character is to plan your actions beforehand, because, despite dealing huge amounts of damage, Demon Hunter is the most fragile character in the game. One wrong move and you will be biting the dust.

This build works well if you want to deal AoE damage, which makes farming fast and effective. To use this build properly, you will need all the elements of the Unhallowed Essence set. This will make your Hatred generators provide Discipline as well. Moreover, you will increase the amount of damage you deal and reduce the damage you get. Another important thing is the Bastions of Will set. You can choose the amulet by yourself, but look for the statistic that gives +% fire damage. Wear Will of the Light, Hunter's Wrath on your belt, Dead Man's Legacy as your quiver and Yang's Recurve.
