The Hunter offers in Diablo 4 with his Barrage build the ability to perform perfectly in melee and ranged combat and to be deadly. We show you a strong build along with Paragon and necessary skills here in our overview.
What kind of build is this? With this build, you are useful in all areas. Whether you are fighting tougher single opponents or entire groups, your skills make it possible. Important for this is “Pierce” and “Barrage.” Those are your two main attacks, which you additionally strengthen with infusions.
This build is especially worthwhile for hunters who do not want to limit themselves to one range and attack and crave variety.
This build comes from the site maxroll.gg and has been translated into German.

This specialization you need:
- Combo Points
This is how you play the build: You use your Dash to engage in battle. Now you use your Pierce until you have built up 3 combo points. If you are faced with a horde of enemies, always activate your Smoke Grenade first and then the Shadow Infusion and shoot into the crowd with your Barrage. This way you cause a lot of AoE damage.
Now you switch your position with Dash and activate your Cold Infusion and shoot again with Barrage at your enemies.
If you are fighting bosses, then you switch the rotation and activate Cold Infusion first and then Shadow Infusion.
Be aware that you also apply your mobile skills to your infusions. So first waste all your infusion charges with Barrage before moving away with Dash.
