Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

I wouldn't say it really sucks, it's middle of the pack. Roughly, Barbs/Wiz/Monks at 80ish, WD/DH at 75ish and Crusader at 70ish.

I don't see how you'd have trouble farming with ownage gear, unless you mean you're trying to farm with marauder or something, then yeah it definitely sucks because marauder is outdated as all fuck and that'd be like trying to wizard with firebird.

It's harder to gear up a DH compared to a WD(mostly weapons are a bitch, while WD gets the whole only two spear deal) so very early in the season, WDs were ahead, but now they're the same. They're behind the other 3 for GR progression, but for "farming", that doesn't actually matter. I mean every class, including Crusader, shits on T10 or GR55-60 once geared, which is the farming part.

Hmm right only one DH at 75, didn't check past 1st rank, then 2 73 and then it's 72(including top NA which I guess is what you're referring to), so I guess it's close to Crusader. Still that doesn't mean the class has a hard time doing GR60 or farming T10 though.

With Wraps and Nat, some decent hp and like possibly a defensive gem like esoterics or preferably taeguk, it shouldn't be an issue. Generally ancient stuff is more about getting the most damage out than increasing survivability. Sure you get some health, but raw health isn't a terribly useful defensive stat. Also get some main stat defense but the scaling on that tends to be shit. A large part of the defenses comes from damage reduction stuff. I guess Unity instead of CoE is probably viable too once you have good weapons.

I don't know it sounds weird, I played my DH like a day during S4 and I could do torment 8, which is like, GR35 or so? That's in one day, using int F+R rings and shit.

Is that your char?JrdnTwrFilms - Community - Diablo III

How outdated is the page? Cause there's a lot of fairly obvious issues but this shit updates weirdly. Taeguk needs to be 25+ otherwise it's shit since it gives no armor, no gems in sockets, wrong bracers and belt need wraps of clarity and crashing rain, wolf instead of bat hatred should never be an issue, need 6pc nat without rings and rorg so you can use F+R for a massive damage increase, drop strafe roll on boots for all resist(strafe does shit for dmg it's just there to spend hatred for RoV), also roll all resist instead of armor on legs(in general all resist is superior to armor for classes that get armor from their main stats).

I assume a bunch of that doesn't apply, but T10 shouldn't be an issue with 6pc nat+wraps unless you're killing slow and then the issue is more that than damage reduction.

Well UE is harder than Natalya I believe, you need to fish more cause some rift setups just ruin you. I don't really know all that much about UE(or Nat really, I've only played DH like a couple of days this season) but shouldn't you run another gem instead of Ice Blink? Like Taeguk or Stricken, probably Taeguk for the armor. Leveling the other gems to ~60 too. I'd probably roll off the 15%evasive on the belt for all resist, since I don't think evasive does all that much dmg in that setup(only shoot every now and then to refresh buffs and shit). Don't know about Vengeance with no cooldown reduction, sounds kinda meh? Maybe Caltrops with Bait the Trap would be better. Could also use a hellfire amulet with archery or steady aim or perfectionist.

Then there's also how you do the rift. High greater rifts aren't really played like you play the rest of the game, you want to skip a lot of stuff. Most elites really you'll skip unless your build is really good at killing them, or you drag them around and kill them over time. You basically always want to be shooting at white mobs as they're better than elites(less so in 2.4 but still). Don't actually know how doable this is on UE though as you might die and need to keep your distances, but you really want to group up mobs as much as possible. If you check high GR clear videos or streams or what not you can see how people play there and it should give you a decent enough idea.

The video is a bit old and the guy uses Bolas instead of Evasive but you can see a run there:
