[Demon Hunter] Insane Damage with Sharpshooter & Vault (Trail of Cinders)

[Alumix]

but then you have no discipline

Use Preparation - Backup Plan or something like that.
Also, you can use Smoke + 2 vaults without any discipline reg, which is enough to kill most in act1.

[tvl]

i'm not sure but i think it's fixed cos when i use vault my crit chance goes down again

[Blueice22]

Confirmed... It is fixed... When you use Vault it now resets your damage as soon as it does damage

[cyshadow]

Vault doesn't crit. gg

[trumpetak]

Maybe its fixed but its still OP as hell. Can kill elites in Act 4 just with 3 Vaults... omg.

That butcher went down in few seconds...lol

Diablo III - OP Demon Hunter = Vault - YouTube

known about this for a while now and now its pubkic it will be hotfixed also ive heard u can get this to stack with firewalkers i saw a dh like 4 shotting act 3 elite packs with this trick

[concac123]

this is not exploit lol. on website they even say increase to 1500%
Vault
Skill Rune - Action Shot
Will now always shoot 4 arrows
Skill Rune - Trail of Cinders
Now leaves a trail of fire behind the player dealing 1500% weapon damage over 3 seconds

"In patch 1.0.5, we will be fixing a bug with Trail of Cinders that is causing the rune to deal five times more damage than intended. As a result of this fix, the amount of damage done by Trail of Cinders will be reduced from its current value (1500% weapon damage over 3 seconds) to 300% weapon damage over 3 seconds."

The BUG is that the sharpshooter buff was not resetting as it is supposed to after an attack...

Edit: Clarification.
Trail of Cinders is more OP than it should be yes, but if the sharpshooter would reset after using it, then this wouldn't have been TOO big of a deal.

u don't need SS to get big dmg lol. w/o ss i already do over 100k

Correct. Which happens to be exactly what I just said lol.
But I still dont think it needs to be nerfed though. I say this because it isn't practical to vault back and forth through elites in inferno. They will kill you eventually. Or perhaps they could make it do less damage BUT make the trail last longer? That would make it more useful during kiting, yet not AS useful as a straight up attack unless the monsters stays on the trail the entire time.

yea a lot people have that idea increase time to 5-10sec dmg to 500% or 300% is fine.

[mayainverse]

2 vaults is 3000% weapon damage over 6 seconds
barb 2minute cooldown skill earthquake is 2000% weapon damage over 8 seconds. lol yea op as shit. although nerfing it to 300% is really a stupid idea playing close and dangerous for the extra damage is a fun playstyle for dh.

[apoe]

Vault doesn't crit. gg

Dots can crit, the numbers don't appear yellow though. Not positive about vault but it has very random damage numbers if you have high crit dam, so I think it still applies. Either way pretty sure it benefits from SS from what others have said though and from my own experience.
