Fire Multishot
Unhallowed Essence
Demon Hunter Build
Diablo 3 Patch 2.6.4

Unhallowed Essence is one of the most popular Demon Hunter sets. It provides an amazing balance between offense, defense, and clear speed. With great AoE provided by Multishot with Arsenal rune (firing additional rockets that can hit enemies beyond your screen) and great mobility with nearly spammable Vault skill thanks to greatly reduced resource cost (Yang's Recurve unique attribute), it's one of the most efficient farming builds for this class. At the same time, with the buffs it has received in Patch 2.6.4 it's one ofthe most powerful Demon Hunter Sets for high GR pushing, second only to Shadow's Impale and Natalya's/Marauder Sentry builds.

General information

The entire build is based on the Unhallowed Essence set:

• Hatred Generators generate 2 additional Hatred and 1 Discipline per attack (2/6)
• The Demon Hunter takes 60% reduced damage and deals 60% increased damage as long as there are no enemies within 10 yards, and 8 seconds afterward (4/6)
• Hatred Generators, Vengeance side arms and Multishot deal 350% increased damage per point of Discipline the Demon Hunter currently has (6/6)

This build is very straightforward. All you have to do is keep Vengeance up and spam Multishot while avoiding attacks and spells to keep yourself alive. While this is more than enough on mid-level Greater Rifts and Torment XIII difficulty level games, you might need to keep an eye out for your Discipline in higher GRs. Vaulting too much greatly reduces your damage output if you are too low on Discipline. 
This builds requires a primary attack, even though it deals near to 0 damage, and the Hatred generation it provides is only noticeable in high GRs. Attacking with your primary attack once in a while grants you 50% increased damage buff from Bastions of Will set, and up to 50% damage reduction from Wraps of Clarity.

Recommended skills

Active Skills

If an enemy is in front of you at close range, you will backflip away 5 yards Sudden Impact You no longer backflip, and the Hatred generation is increased to 7. Also changes the damage type to Cold Your primary attack. It can help you generate some Hatred in intensive fights, as well as it is crucial to benefit from the Bastions of Will and Wraps of Clarity buffs
	Vault Tumble acrobatically 35 yards Tumble After using Vault, the next Vault you cast within 6 seconds has its Discipline cost reduced by 50%. The next Vault used after the second one will have its' cost returned to normal Main mobility skill. Allows very fast movement thanks to greatly reduced resource cost reduction as well as the Tumble rune. If you feel like you are running on low Discipline all the time you may want to replace the rune with Acrobatics. It will make you slower, but always with your maximum damage buff
	Multishot Fire a massive volley of arrows dealing 360% damage as Physical to all enemies in the area Arsenal Makes multishot also fire 3 missiles that deal 300% weapon damage. Changes base damage type to Fire Your core ability. It is pretty much spammable in this build while under the effect of Vengeance.

	Preparation Instantly restores 30 Discipline Invigoration Also passively increases your maximum Discipline by 20 Mandatory skill for this build. 20 Discipline will grant additional 2000% increased Multishot/Vengeance damage. Also, the active part of this skill can come in handy to restore Discipline used up on your Vault

Grants decent boost to DPS, depending on your cooldown reduction should be used just before your Convention of Elements ring switches its' bonus to Fire
