Demon Hunter Unhallowed Essence Multishot Build
Introduction
Having received yet another damage spike in 2.4 through the skill bonuses on
Dead Man's Legacy and the introduction of 
Visage of Gunes and
Dawn, Demon Hunters add to the 
Yang's Recurve arsenal for a
formidable, endgame Multishot build. This far range, huge AoE playstyle build is
geared towards Greater Rift solo progression, but we do have a speed farming
variation that you can access using the link below.
