The Diablo Immortal Demon Hunter class is perfect if you’re all about the safety and skill of ranged combat as opposed to the in-your-face bludgeoning of the melee playstyles. Sometimes, the best option in Diablo Immortal is to shoot from afar, avoiding the atrocities that hell is unkindly sending your way. So, if you’re wanting to get the best Diablo Immortal Demon Hunter build, look no further than our guide below which outlines all the best gems and kills for your new favourite class.

Even if you’re not super favoured towards ranged combat, it is worth giving the Demon Hunter a go as they sit right at the top in the S category of our Diablo Immortal class tier list, meaning that they are one of the most optimised classes in the game. The class does have a couple of weaknesses, but we will craft this build to minimise those, but also maximise the strengths that make the class so great in the first place.

Best Diablo Immortal Demon Hunter Skills

Skill Name Description Cooldown Time Level Requirement
Explosive Arrow Shoot an exploding arrow for single target and AoE damage to surrounding foes  

Level 34

Daring Swing Rope swing whilst receiving no damage, and damaging any enemies you hit along the way 10 Seconds Level 15
Escape Deal damage and 60% reduced movement with a quick jab, combined with a backwards roll 8 Seconds Level 44
Spinning Chakram Throw a blade that hits enemies on both the throw and return, resetting its own cooldown if you catch it 8 Seconds/Instant Level 47
Vengeance Transform into Vengeance and add 2 extra shots to your primary attack for six seconds, in addition to an always active passive of 3% extra movement speed for every nearby enemy, maxing out at 30% for ten enemies 20 Seconds Level 50

The key aim for the combination of these skills is to give you a complement to your already strong primary attack damage, but also enough means to be moving actively and avoiding incoming damage. 

As the Demon Hunter has very little health, it is essential that you avoid being caught out in the action at all costs, so movement abilities like Daring Swing and Escape are vital to staying alive and continuing your output. The passive movement speed bonus of Vengeance comes in clutch as well in situations where you’re surrounded.

The more combat-oriented skills also give you a more than healthy output of damage, with an added skill bonus too. Explosive Arrow negates the trouble any crowds give you through explosive AoE damage that only gets stronger with Vengeance for insane concentrated damage. 

Furthermore, Spinning Chakram gives you a consistent output of strong, multi-target damage that scales very well for skilful players that can stack the cooldowns efficiently.

Diablo Immortal Demon Hunter: Best Gems

Gem Name Base Effect Rank Three Effect
Bloody Reach Increases damage by 2% for every 2 yards between you and your target for a maximum of 8% Attacks have 0.3% chance to decrease enemy movement speed for three seconds by 35%
Ca’arsen’s Invigoration Increases primary attack speed by 6% Increases primary attack damage by 2%
Phoenix Ashes Prevents you from dying and gives you a six second shield for 450% of your base health Heal for 20% of remaining shield value after it expires
Howler’s Call Primary attack has 10% chance of summoning a wolf that does 150% base damage plus 1458 damage to affected enemies Wolf has 12% chance to stun affected enemies for three seconds
Berserker’s Eye Increases damage dealt by 5% but also damage taken by 6% Increases critical chance by 1%

These Diablo Immortal Gems for the Demon Hunter class are designed to give you a mix of damage and survivability. Gems like Bloody Reach, Ca’arsen’s Invigorations, and Howler’s Call almost seem made to excel with the Demon Hunter, allowing them to output significantly more damage than normal.

Then, on the flipside, combining Phoenix Ashes with Berserker’s Eye almost offsets the negative effects of the latter. Ideally, with the aforementioned movement skills you should be out of harm's way as much as possible, but taking damage should not only be covered by the shield but also redeemed with the rank three bonus healing.

So, that wraps up our guide for the Diablo Immortal Demon Hunter best build, investigating what the best gems and skills are for the nimble crossbow wielder. If you’re more into mindless rage than skilful placement, however, why not check out our Diablo Immortal Barbarian best build for some tips on that class.
