In the first game, you can spend your entire gold budget on legendary gems. One-star legendary gems are fairly easy to get and are very powerful. You can also invest in two-star and best-in-slot legendary gems. Berserker’s Eye and Everlasting Torment are good examples of such legendary gems. The former gives a decent DPS boost but has a very low base attribute boost, while the latter gives a great DOT which you can apply to your enemies with big AoE skills. Ca’arsen’s Invigoration is also a good choice for Demon Hunters.

Elusive Ring
While it is tempting to try and stack Elusive Ring gems in a DH build, there are some things to consider before you spend your gold on the ring. You will need to consider the toughness of your group to know which gems to stack. If your group is low on Paragon or ZdP, it may be better to stack Elusive Ring gems in a DH build.
The Elusive Ring will increase your defense. As a Demon Hunter, you typically have plenty of damage but a low defense. Taking deaths will cost you precious time in Greater Rift runs. An Elusive Ring will help you protect yourself until your damage drops too low. But if your defense is low, the Ring may not be enough to protect you. If you want to maximize your Elusive Ring’s defensive properties, you should also use a legendary gem such as Legacy of Dreams.
Ca’arsen’s Invigoration
Ca’arsen’s Invigoration is a fantastic gem for any Demon Hunter. It increases your base damage and DOT by 50%. The downside is that you can only purchase it every few days. But if you can wait until the monthly limit, Ca’arsen’s Invigoration is a great gem. It powers up the other gems you have, such as Bloodlust.
Demon Hunters have the most terrible movement in the game. Their main skill is Daring Swing, which allows them to move while shooting. However, it doesn’t move far enough and collides with obstacles, so you’ll be walking around a lot. In addition, you’ll be affected by slows as well. Therefore, you’ll have to use the skill sparingly.
Wraps of Clarity
While the original Wraps of Clarity were meant to be a defensive option for most builds, they’ve since been tuned to fit many Demon Hunter builds. They fit well in bracer slots and grant no overbenefit. However, it will soon be updated to work with the new Spines of Seething Hatred. So, which are the best Wraps for Demon Hunters?
