Actually this build's origins are more tanky, and only as the DLC's added more crowd control options did it make playing it as you wish, armor-wise, more viable. That's why Alteration was so essential: you needed it along with heavy armor, healing circles, back-up traps and so forth to be able to stand up to your enemies's approach. Now you can knock and lock down enemies altogether with far greater ease and variety, so those who wish to go light, heavy, or mix and match can feel free to do so. And Alchemy adds a lot to the table, from the life-saving "oh shit" button of a potion hotkey to poisons that supplement your damage and/or open up new avenues of offense and defense. You may feel free to hearken back to the Demonhunter of yesterday and try to remain an arrow-slinging fortress, others may wish to try and remain untouched with their builds. The beauty is that both can work now. :)

I can get with that, Roninberg! :)

Quality, not quantity. Your builds might not have near 500 likes combined, but the dude whose build does is one of their biggest fans, hands down. :)

I might as well give it the 500th like.

Always loved it.
