Hunters are at the top of Diablo 4’s tier list. MeinMMO introduces you to the currently best build for hunters, shows you the specs, which legendaries you need and how you play the build.
What build is this? Hunters are currently the strongest when you play them in melee – that means: with daggers or swords and not with bows. This build relies heavily on Twisting Blades, which you use to impale your opponents.
Currently the build is considered the go-to hunter build, ranks among the best builds in Diablo 4’s tier list, and also generally beats most other classes for speed and power. However, you need a little know-how about the class.
This makes the build special: You have almost constant vulnerability on opponents from your attacks, one of the two most important mechanics for any class. This makes you strong both solo and as a supporter for others in the group.
Your mobility makes it easy to dodge almost any threat, preventing you from facetanking too much damage.
We already tried the build in the beta. Today he is perfected. You can see the gameplay here:

In Diablo 4, all 5 classes have special mechanics – we’ll explain them to you
by Benedict Grothaus
You need these Legendaries:
From the Code of Power you get:
Keep in mind that all aspects of the Codex can also fall in the game and then usually have better values.
The Booby Trap Aspect should be forged on the neck as it has +50% Potency there. The Blade Dancing Aspect should be on your bow or crossbow. There he is stronger, even if you don’t use the weapon yourself.
The big advantage is that you don’t need any unique items. Above all, the famous and extremely rare harlequin mask, which every build needs, is not mandatory for you. The crown as well as some other items can make you stronger, but you can also do without it.

As affixes to the items, you should pay attention to damage against vulnerable targets and damage from core skills and dexterity. At higher levels you also need a lot of armor, the strongest defensive stat. You socket the following gems:
You play with a total of 6 Paragon Boards and Glyphs:
Glyphs are mainly found in nightmare dungeons, here you can also level the glyphs. For more on that, see our Diablo 4 Endgame Content Overview. For tips on leveling as a rogue, see:

Hunter Screw Blade Build – Gameplay and Tips
How to play the build: The build’s core gameplay relies on you ramming your screwblades into an enemy, then putting as many enemies between them and you as possible:
Relative to builds like Blizzard Sorceress, you have very little enemy control effects, relying on mobility to avoid taking damage. Your self-healing is also low compared to that of the whirlwind barbarian. Armor is even more important for you than for other classes.
In general, try to avoid as much damage as possible and take advantage of the fact that you’re constantly jumping around anyway. You’re a skilled assassin, not a brutal brawler.
