Demon Hunter Rakanoth Boss Strategy

Diablo three Demon Hunter Rakanoth Boss Strategy submitted by seipa.

 I ran with knight owing to his stun and amazing hate regen aura. we have a tendency to run in and let the knight stun him for his initial attack, and it's at this time it's crucial for you to try to to huge injury to Rakanoth.

 I believe I clean-shaven off a minimum of five hundredth of his health before the knight died and Rakanoth turned to Pine Tree State. At this time I smoke screened and simply ran to the left whereas the boss simply stood there uninformed.

 Smoke screen wears off and adds spawn. I tapped  smokescreen once more to counter charge and begin positioning myself so the adds {are|ar|area unit|square Pine Tree Stateasure} between me and therefore the boss (so that the ball lightning hit each the boss and therefore the adds).

 Mind you, I actually have seen bound demon hunters ignore the adds and burn Rakanoth down, however if you do not have the desired DPS, you actually ought to trot out those adds.

 Once the third (or was it second?) smoke screen is off you would like to be listening to Rakanoth's animation and/or sound. i feel he makes a particular sound once he charges. The adds should've been treated and you ought to be standing with Rakanoth left.


At this time, continue burning him down whereas looking fastidiously for his animation whether or not he is attending to charge/cast discs/spawn adds.

He truly managed to spawn a second set of adds on my kill however fortunately my knight aroused from sleep and shocked the boss, I smokescreened and took him down from twenty fifth to zilch.

Some non-specific boss battle tips I might offer you whereas i am at it:

1. Have low ping. Believe me, I've tried Rakanoth many times. The previous day i attempted him regarding ten times before flaming my head to the table and cacophonous  my play. I actually have a hideous setup wherever my ping would possibly skyrocket into the 1000ms and many timeouts. It will ruin a decent bossfight to zilch. sometimes I laze 300ms, however thereon explicit day I had 50ms that helps vastly if you would like to time your smokescreen dead.

2. recognize his animations. It plays a task on once you wish to press the button tied to smoke screen. If it is a charge, you would like to press it once he is midways through his casting (if you have got sensible ping as mention above). If it's shooting discs you'll simply avoid those by exploit. If it's adds you would possibly wish to attend till the adds have totally spawned before smoke screening.

3. bear in mind on however you gear. Not very price a bullet purpose in itself, however i am mentioning it anyways. i feel plenty of demon hunters feel an equivalent manner that there is no purpose in stacking vitality among your sleight gear. The notorious quote "You're solely attending to get ammunition anyways" therefore stack that dexterity!

Not solely will it increase your injury however it conjointly offers you one thing that's price quite vitality, in my opinion. Namely, dodge. I actually have 1900 sleight at the instant associate degreed it's saved Pine Tree State from an odd variety of deaths. Even transport charges from Rakanoth! i am presently resting at 12k power unit for anyone curious.
