Introduction

The Fan of Knives Demon Hunter was strengthened by the powers of the Legacy of Dreams setup, enabling set-like powers to an arsenal of synergistic legendary items for a skill-intensive and burst-heavy spec that plays on the brink of death.

This build has been retired in Season 24 due to being outdated with the current metagame and vastly outclassed by newer builds.
