1 - Is there a thread listing the current DH RGK specs and their relative strengths?
2 - Is there a thread listing the other current group DH DPS specs (trash killer specs) and their relative strengths?
3 - Is there a thread listing the current solo DH specs and their relative strengths?
For example,
UE-6/Crimson Multishot vs. N6M4 Multishot
UE-6/Crimson Multishot vs. N6M4 Cluster Arrow
UE-6/Crimson Multishot vs. Shadow-6 Impale
UE-6/Crimson Multishot vs. Shadow-6/Aughild’s Impale
The above is not an exhaustive list. I have no idea if anyone has tested a UE-6/Crimson Multishot RGK variant or if UE-6/Crimson Multishot can compete with Shadow-6 Impale. The answers to my questions would be used to present ideas to friends about running 3-man and 4-man groups with DH DPS and RGKs.
The only RGK we have at the moment is the Shadow. The addition of the new Aughilds buff has been a nice boost to the S6 RGK.
There is a thread on it here:
We are still shaking out UE/CC, but it is looking very strong. It is competing with the S6’s on this season’s LB.
Here is a nice thread of M6 MS
The current season leaderboard, even though it is still early, is showing a nice mix of straight S6 and S6/Aug. UE/CC is also represented at the top of the leaderboard. M6 MS isn’t being played by very many this season therefore it is not well represented. For solo pushing, any of these builds will work very well, it just depends on what you enjoy playing.
If you want to run an all DH group, you might want to look at adding a ZDH. ZDH is basically built upon UE2/M4 or M4. You’ll want polar stations and MS Windchill. Your Z will want all pets and as much CDR as they can stack. Other than that there are lots of ways to run a Z, depends on what your party needs.
OK so Shadow-6 is still the go to for DH RGK. I did not do an exhaustive search on the leaderboard so I did not find DH trash killer builds in the 4-mans and 3-mans. I know of dmkt’s N6M4 Multishot setup (Natma) for 2x trash killer DH’s in 4-man play. I was wondering if other builds emerged to compete with it. I’m comfortable with making a zdps char for the fun of it (monk/necro), but I’ll also check out zDH.
Don’t forget LoD. I don’t know the US leaderboards, but there a quite a few in EU. First one is #5 with GR119, Paragon 1350. Even without AS snapshotting with PE, it seems to be still a very strong build.
I’ve run N6M4 Multishot with Squirts and CoE in solo play, it was strong – with the right enemies it’ll clear GR123+. For group play, maybe with a zNec using Frozen Lands, it could be almost as strong as the previous exp farmer we had in S16.
