Patch 6.2.3 Preview

wudijo took some time to put together a huge thread on our forums with a ton of in-depth information about the Lightning RoV Natalya, which seems to be the strongest build for DHs right now. See the snippet below, and check out the full thread here.

Lightning Natalya In-Depth Analysis

Hey everyone,

since the initial season rush is over and I've had some time to do more relaxing things lately, I decided to look a little bit more at the details of the lightning RoV DH. There's been a lot of discussion about which stat rolls you want to have, which passives and even gems to use, and especially which offhand weapon to use. I hope this stuff helps a little in case you decide to push the DH leaderboards this season. I've done a lot of testing with interesting results and created an excel sheet to crunch the numbers for the different options. After polishing the tables a little I decided to share them here. Keep in mind that many of these numbers are rough approximations and educated guesses based on my experience with the build, and most of them can not be applied the same way in every rift because of different layouts and hit box sizes (especially Area Damage / Fulminator). Also, prepare for a lot of numbers.

These stats are the same I have in my solo setup, minus a lot of dexterity, crit chance and critical hit damage (I made sure to not kill my testing dummies but kept relative values the same). 39% lightning damage, 53% RoV bonus, rank 80 Taeguk (I have 76 currently but I expect it to be 80 soon). The sheet itself is a little bit more complicated because I kept adding things here and there without tidying it up all the time, hence I have these multipliers etc (e.g. I wasn't stacking Taeguk for my tests but just calculated the difference).
