good for staying away doing massive aoe dmg from safe distance also comet and hydra + slow from arcane passive makes kiting super easy(fast mobs and mobs with reflect dmg are the bane of this build)

Ninja Toss by Sirklick on Oct 22, 2012 - Preview
Level: 60 - Rating: 2.2/5 (11 votes)

A fun farming build that requires relatively modest (for now) gear and works with patch 1.0.5.

A working play strategy
----------------------------------
1. Find some prey and approach to just outside of their "Im going to kill you range"
2. Drop Caltrops and take a step back
3. Drop 1-3 spike trap(s) in the middle of Caltrops
- drop them in a vertical line to maximize the number of hits as they progress through Caltrops
4. ...

Blitzkrieg Barb by Fatty on Sep 15, 2012 - Preview
Level: 60 - Rating: 2.0/5 (12 votes)

A variant of the classic whirlwind barb, without WW.
To start from cold, use war cry to get fury, then use the fury to sprint to an enemy; cleave a few times to get fury. pop battle rage and then sprint around the pack until you CLUSTER them, then cleave a few times to 'rupture' the whole pack. your health and fury should both be full when they explode. Hint, you can use the tornados from sprint as a type of sentry, doing damage while you stand in the tornados and hit with cleave. ...

DH Tank Build 1.04 by Toby on Aug 30, 2012 - Preview
Level: 60 - Rating: 1.9/5 (12 votes)

As many of us know, the pre-1.04 demon hunter tank build was effectively removed from the game when some proc coefficients were badly nerfed (jagged spikes, gas grenades, shuriken cloud). The DH tanks had to move on to other builds (personally, I've been using a fun trail of cinders build) and other playstyles. ...

Patch 1.0.4 Inferno WD Pet Build by Toby on Aug 25, 2012 - Preview
Level: 60 - Rating: 2.4/5 (18 votes)

This build focus on survivability of you and your pets. Your pets need to keep alive so they can tank for you. I've completed the game with this build, so its viably through act 4 inferno. Some elites can be pretty hard on act 3 and 4. Mortar is a bitch :-) The pets survivability is pretty good after patch 1.0.4. They can take ridiculous amount of damage now - but this also depends on your own gear/stats.

My stats:
Str. 323
Dex 251
Int 1499
Vit 820
Armor 2927
Damage 23.5k
All res. ...

Critical Mass Tornado by Toby on Aug 19, 2012 - Preview
Level: 60 - Rating: 2.5/5 (14 votes)

My own version of the very popular Wizard build, including the passive "Critical Mass".

You want a high critical hit chance, I will say go for at least 20 %. Arcane power on crit. is also preferable, 8-10 should do it.

Spectral Blade + Healing Blades: High damage + healing.
Energy Twister + Wicked Wind: Primary attack. Spam this on the enemies while they are frozen, gives you lots of crits to reduce cooldowns.
Diamond Skin + Crystal Shell: PROTECTION! Spam this, it keeps you alive. ...

Melee Helper by Toby on Jul 7, 2012 - Preview
Level: 30 - Rating: 3.1/5 (14 votes)

This build is for melee's. The most important skills is the Powered Armor which gives you a 15% armor buff and Focused Mind that increases attack speed with 3%.

So choosing the Enchantress for your melee (barb, monk..) will give you more armor + more attack speed (higher DPS).

Remember lot of VIT gear on follower to keep her alive in inferno.

Demon Hunter Crit Follower by Toby on Jul 7, 2012 - Preview
Level: 20 - Rating: 2.3/5 (16 votes)

Give the Scoundrel a whole lot of vitality gear so he can keep alive. Remember, followers get 2,5 times the stats.

This follower build is used for the 3% increased Critical hit chance skill. You want gear with a lot of +Crit. damage and +Crit. chance.

Diablo Solo Hell by Tox on Jun 4, 2012 - Preview
Level: 57 - Rating: 2.1/5 (14 votes)

This is a very good build for taking out diablo solo on hell (i havent tried this yet on another boss) with 17000 dps. With a poison gargatuan out, you reduce diablos damage by 20%, plus the 20% for the other passive ability. For the first part of the fight, use big bad voodoo, then spam the zombie bears. Their poison damage also makes it so that diablo only does 60% of his actual damage. If ever you're in danger, spirit walk away. What I also did was spirit walk to diablo before spamming the bears. Cast Haunt every now and then to assure that u always have mana. ...

Inferno Barbarian - Sprint Run Like the Wind by Anonymous on Jun 3, 2012 - Preview
Level: 60 - Rating: 3.0/5 (14 votes)

Hats off to the guy who posted the youtube clip of him farming Act 2 with 5 stacks using a Throw/Sprint build. Whether or not he knows it he has stumbled upon what is quite possibly the best ability of the class. Yes, you read that right. Sprint with the "Run Like The Wind" rune for the 60% Weapon Damage tornadoes is amazing.

I ditched throw to test if whether or not just using Sprint/Run Like the Wind + Battle rage/In to the Fray was viable in of itself. ...

If you like AOE with a dash of melee, this is where it's at. This build can be used entirely thoughout the leveling process of the monk. It will make a hero amongst team mates, mainly the squishies. This is how it goes.

Specifics:

Dual wielding (you want speed and dps. This means you probably want a dagger with at least 1.20. The offhand can be anything you like. ...
