The Huntress is already a popular class in the Diablo 4 beta. Our editor has been playing it since release and tells you his best build, which he's currently using to smash the hordes of hell.
In the current beta of Diablo 4, I chose the huntress as the first character. I've played dozens of demon hunters in Diablo 3, and I'm good with nimble classes in action RPGs.
The Huntress in Diablo 4 hits exactly the style. She attacks quickly, alternates between melee and ranged combat, and evades opponents with her agile movements. Exactly what I was hoping for from the class.
I'm almost through the beta now and I'm very happy with my build for the Slayer. I usually kill large hordes of enemies in one hit and take little damage myself. The focus is on melee combat, something that the Demon Slayer in Diablo 3 missed out on.
