This is always the challenge with online multiplayer games, skill set changes will always alter the way builds work. For Insane or higher difficulty levels, you still need a seriously intense build. I’ve loved my demon hunter, and it will be interesting to see how Smoke Screen affects gameplay. Personally, this is part of the reason why I love following the builds constantly being developed by ->these guys<-, as they get updated to reflect the changes and still walk out with skill sets and tactics to be able to compete at Insane, Hell, and even Blizzard levels of difficulty.
