Hey guys and girls.

If you are a bit of a Diablo nutter like myself then you have probably been having a bit of a hard time over the past few days.

I tried to pass the time by playing Diablo 2 Hardcore mode in preparation but I can't really bring myself to continue with it this close to release. So instead I decided to work on something Diablo 3.

Now I called this "Planning out the Right Build for You" and not "Making the best build" or "OP builds for your first D3 character" for a reason. The devs had made it clear that they are doing everything they can to avoid pigeonholing players into specific builds and this really shows in the character skills and runes design.

This is all about making the best build for you.

This means deciding on how you want to play, figuring out what your character needs to be able to do to be able to do that, and then coming up with the skills that support this.

Here is a bit of a guide to this idea (with examples!):

Coming up with the best Diablo 3 build for you

Coming up with the best Diablo 3 build for you

Now! I want to hear how you guys want to play Diablo 3, what your character needs to do to achieve this, and how you are going to build them up to do this!

I'll kick things off with my example (also featured in the video). Here is a link to the build I plan on starting off with. Obviously it will probably change a lot when I start playing but we need to do something to pass the time for now.

How do I want to play?
I want to play on Hardcore mode (as I'm sure you are well aware) because I like playing an intense and slow-paced game where every decision I make is crucial.

What does my Character need to do?
Above ALL else, survive! If they don't survive on HC their magic find and DPS is meaningless!

How have I chosen to go about achieving this?
I'm playing the ranged class the Demon Hunter. I want to keep myself out of harms way and keep my enemy where I can see them well enough to put a bolt in between their eyes. To do this I am going to slow or stun everything I can as much I can. I have gone with entangling shot and caltrops to slow as many mobs as I can while taken extra critical hit skills to increase the damage I do to slowed baddies. I also took a rooted, high dps and further slowing skill to kill anything that gets too close to me. Then if I get into shit I can tumble away and stun mobs while I get safe and pop a potion.

This al sounds fun to me and suits exactly the way I want to play.

Now do yours!
