Once Demon Hunter was completely thrown out of the competition, but the new season offers several amazing builds that will help this class get into the spotlight once again.
If you plan on using Demon Hunter in Season 16, and you are looking for a good build, then here you will find four top-tier builds that will surely make you a proud owner of this class.
N6M4 Build
Author of the build: IveGottenSoLucky
Here’s the fastest and most powerful build you can currently use in Season 16 as a Demon Hunter player.
The most significant feature of this build is the incredible speed of movement that will allow you to quickly deal with enemies and move forward on your path. But fast speed doesn’t mean that your attacks will be weak. On the contrary, your critical hit chance will be at its highest.
The skills are primarily focused on AoE damage with a reduced cooldown. This means that you will be able to deal with huge numbers of enemies at once.
As for defensive abilities, the N6M4 build is universally protected from all types of damage, which is quite convenient, especially in cases when you move onto the undiscovered territories.

Impale Build
Author of the build: IveGottenSoLucky
The Impale skill, which has become the basis of this build, strikes an enemy with a throwing knife for 750% of weapon damage. This means that we have another extremely powerful and fast build on our hands. It’s not suprising, as fast builds have regularly popped up in the top-tier lists of Diablo 3 classes.
But there is one huge difference between the Impale and the N6M4 builds. Instead of the critical hit damage, Impale playstyle mainly focuses on cooldown and resource cost reduction.
Although this build doesn’t focus on AoE damage as much as the previous one, you will have access to the Fan of Knives ability, which provides exactly that.
And when it comes to preserving life, you will have Shadow Power skill, which is capable of siphoning life out of your enemies. This neat trick will help you stay alive for a long time.

Marauder Build
Author of the build: Sova
The focal point of the Marauder build is to reduce the cooldown of the vengeance skill to such a degree that you can basically stay in the Vengeance form all the time.
Then, when you’ve achieved the optimal stat reroll, you can focus on critical hit damage, critical hit chance, and speed of attack. This is a really interesting build, if you’re looking for something different yet effective.

Author of the build: Saluter
Multishot build is a well-established build in the Demon Hunter fan circles. This build combines the speed of the N6M4 build and the cooldown reduction tools of the Impale build.
Many players consider this to be the ultimate build for the Demon Hunter class, as it has the perfect balance of all the best skills, gear, and gems.
