Demon Hunters can be very effective farmers when played properly.  In order to get the most possible loot from your Demon Hunter you have to plan out your farming area so that you constantly have enemies to fight.  On top of that you also have to be able to take out large groups of enemies quickly.  This means you have to slow down your enemies and hit them with powerful AOE attacks to kill them before they have a chance to get in range.

Demon Hunters also have a small edge over most of the other classes when it comes to farming with their Ferret Pet. By getting the Ferret Companion skill rune for Companion you won’t have to worry about picking up gold, and you will have more of it coming in constantly.

The Strategy

Summon your ferret companions and lay down six spike traps in a location your enemies will cross over.  At the beginning of the fight begin pulling in your enemies with Entangling Shot.  The upgraded skill rune will
grab four enemies for every shot that you take so make sure to spread your shots around.  Herd all of the enemies into a single location.  As soon as they are all together and they run into the spike traps use Rain of Vengeance on them.  Finish any remaining groups with Chakram and single targets with Entangling Shot.

Quick Look Skill Rotation
* Companion
* Spike Traps - 6x in front of you
* Entangling Shot – Hit all surrounding enemies in groups of four.
* Rain of Vengeance – As soon as spike traps go off
* Chakram or Entangling Shot – Former with groups, latter with single enemies.

The Passives

Cull the Weak will dramatically boost your Spike Trap damage if you get them to hit the traps after you snare them.  While farming most of the lower difficulties you will find a high number of health globes.  By adding Vengeance as a passive you should be able to jump from group to group almost constantly . Steady Aim will give you a nice damage boost all the time since you should always be far away from the enemies.

Gem Selection

Equipping the proper gems to your Demon Hunter will give you an advantage while farming for items and gold. You should have Topaz gems socketed into your helmet for the nice magical item find boost.
Your weapon should be full of Ruby gems to help you kill enemies more quickly.  The faster you can drop your enemies the more rare items and gold you are bound to find.

It’s important to upgrade these gems as often as you possibly can to keep your farming ability at its highest level.  Unlike the first two Diablo’s, in Diablo 3 you can remove your gems and socket them again after you have upgraded them, which means that you should keep the same gems throughout the game and build them up just as you do your character.
