If you are playing a Demon Hunter in Diablo III and want to level up your Demon Hunter, then you have come to the right place. Without a doubt, leveling up a Demon Hunter can be quite challenging and fun. However, you can start with the following 7 tips. They will help you keep moving forward and reach level 60 easily, in no time.

Helpful Tips for Demon Hunters

1. Normally, facerolling is easy, but having a few defensive CDs is better, in case a nightmare occurs. There are two particular offensive spells that you should definitely cast with, A Hatred Dump, like Cluster Arrow, Elemental Arrow, Rapid Fire, and a Hatred Generator, like Entangling Shot or Hungering Arrow. The rest of your spells should be Discipline CDs, like Caltrops, Demon Power, Preparation, and Smokescreen.

2. Smokescreen is still pretty effective, even though it was nerfed in May 2012 and is CD-less like now. A smokescreen will help you get out of a lot of trouble. However, keep in mind that even while invisible, you will not be able to pass through mobs. If you are cornered by a mob, exploding your demonic power is your best bet and hopefully you will end up burning them faster before you get caught. You may be able to get through them if you have Vault. Also, don’t forget to collect health balloons while invisible. This way, if you have Vengeance (P), it will help you as you navigate nonstop in tight fights.

3. You can heal 60% of your HP by preparing with the Battle Scars skill rune. If you want to overcome most situations to survive and fight some other day then you should use it with Perfectionist (P) with the smoke screen without CD, like the scroll rune, LF or special recipe). Usually you should be able to get to a comparatively safe location for Town Portal and regroup using 3 smoke screens. Use Smokescreen first if you are ever in doubt.

4. Fighting at checkpoints is a good strategy to survive and level up your Demon Hunter. You can’t stack caltrops, but you can estimate how far away they should be positioned to ensure mobs are constantly trapped by the radius of the trap. To get the maximum catch effect, you need to get Caltrops (r-Hooked Spines). You can use Rapidfire (r- Bombardment / High Velocity / Webbed Shot) with Steady Shot (P) and / or Cull the Weak (P) to finish them off. For Custom Engineering (P) in melee fights like dungeons, you can change Steady Shot (P).

5. Don’t hesitate if you need to regroup from a city portal and change spells for different fights or individual mobs. That is why it is recommended to diversify a list of assets and liabilities for each situation, depending on how aware you are and your preference. Fortunately, Town Portal is free. Once you see a large mob approaching you, decide how to navigate with it in the most efficient way, then use the Smokescreen and flee to the nearest Town Portal.

6. You also need to use your followers. It won’t cost you to change them, so be sure to choose wisely if you’re alone. In tight spaces, the Templars are good; For boss fights scoundrels are awesome and against elites and mobs Enchantress is the best. Using her control abilities, the Sorceress can divide the gangster groups that are quite common in open areas. It may be a bug, but certain elites are affected by Enchantress’s enchantment ability.

7. Mobs with a variety of effects and control effects can make things really difficult for you, so be sure to approach them very cautiously. Jailor / Vortex / Waller of the three most dangerous affixes, specifically Waller, as you cannot go through walls and use smoke screens. Arcane / Frozen / Mortar, are the secondary dangerous affixes and, in some rare cases, Electrified. You need to maximize the range of anything with the Teleporter, while being able to deal with the remaining affixes easily.

Demon Hunter is one of the best classes in Diablo III if you use your Demon Hunter wisely. Leveling up your Demon Hunter shouldn’t be that difficult, especially if you follow these aforementioned tips, which will help you progress at a rapid pace.
