Demon Hunter Marauder Cluster Arrow Build
Introduction
The Marauder set establishes itself as one of the strongest and safest endgame
playstyles for Demon Hunters. This turret-reliant control playstyle is designed with
high Greater Rifts in mind, but we also have a speed farming variation of this build
that uses 
Multishot and that you can access by clicking the link below.
Rocket-based Variation
In addition to the speedfarming variation mentioned above, we also have a rocket-based version of this build available, which is as competitive as the turret-based build and has a very similar playstyle, but with a longer range.
