Impaling Shadow Cloak: Demon Hunter Build in Diablo 3

Demon Hunters begin their journey through Season 25 with the Shadow’s Mantle set. Unlike most of the Demon Hunter builds, this one requires a melee weapon. We’ll show you the build around the Skill Skill in detail.

Demon hunters target their opponents from a safe distance in Diablo 3. This also applies to the style of play around the Des Shadow’s Mantle set, although this requires a melee weapon. So don’t let that intimidate you if you don’t want to get too close to your opponent. We have summarized the exact items and necessary skills for you.

Shadow mantle: equipment

In this version you only wear five of the six parts of the shadow set. The same goes for the two of the three parts of the crimson set. In order to still receive the full set bonus, you need the Ring of royal pomp. In our version of the build, this is activated in Kanai’s Cube.

Shadow mantle: Kanai’s Cube

Shadow mantle: gems

You place these three legendary gemstones in your amulet and your two rings:

Due to the season theme, your helmet and your left weapon are already covered with a soul splinter. Therefore, you only have room for gems in your right weapon, legs and armor. Until you have found a suitable soul shard, however, you can also put a diamond in your helmet.

• Armor / legs: Diamond

Shadow mantle: skills

You don’t need to select a rune for the Shadow Power ability. You will automatically receive the effect of all runes as soon as you wear four pieces of the Shade’s Mantle set.

In order to master nephalem portals as quickly as possible, you should ignore most opponents and look specifically for champions and elite opponents. These will fill your progress the fastest. Thanks to the shadow mantle, you cause a lot of damage against individual opponents, so don’t waste it on small cattle.

Season 25 Soul Shards

In season 25 your equipment will be improved by powerful soul fragments. These disappear after the end of the season and should then be replaced by emeralds and diamonds. So keep in mind that the build will be a bit weaker overall after the end of the season.

weapon: Essence of Anguish

head: Sliver of Terror
