Danetta's Hatred

Danetta's Hatred – a Vault accelerator for the Demon Hunter

This weapon set of two hand crossbows is built entirely around the Demon Hunter and his Vault. Normally Vault drains your scarce Discipline – with Danetta's Hatred you pay with Hatred instead and fire it off with massively increased damage at the same time. A pure escape move becomes a full-blown, sustainably usable offensive skill.

The set is meant for mobile, hit-and-run hunters who want to stay constantly on the move while still dealing damage. Practical tip: keep enough Hatred generation so you can cast Vault almost continuously in combat. Since the set only fills the two weapon slots, it pairs well with a support set that further fuels your Vault damage or protects you between jumps.

Cost and damage in detail

Without the set, Vault costs 8 Discipline and carries you 35 yards. With both pieces it costs 8 Hatred instead, and its damage rises by 800%. Your Discipline stays free for other skills that spend it.

One thing matters for your rune choice: Vault's base description lists no damage at all. Damage only comes from runes such as Trail of Cinders, which leaves a fire trail dealing 300% weapon damage over 3 seconds, or Action Shot, which fires 4 arrows for 75% weapon damage each during the jump – and they always crit. Rattling Roll knocks back the enemies you touch and stuns them for 1.5 seconds. Acrobatics removes the Discipline cost but adds a 6-second cooldown.

Two hand crossbows

The set consists of Danetta's Revenge and Danetta's Spite, wielded together in both hands. If you hold a duplicate of one, Kanai's Cube can convert the spare into the missing crossbow.
