There are absolutely no gear requirements. This build attempts to resolve that issue, giving you an efficient and effective skill setup to start your journey with. Those builds are very specific to certain pieces of gear or set items, and if you don't have everything necessary, than those awesome end-game builds can actually be really bad when used with low-end gear. However, they keep hearing about how great certain builds are, so they attempt it anyway, usually resulting in failure and frustration. Many players simply cannot try the vast majority of the builds that are presented on DiabloFans and YouTube because they just don't have the gear, or the time to invest in acquiring it. The player base is very large and consists of a wide variety of ages, skill levels, and player time-constraints. This build and guide attempts to address the major issues that new and casual players face in a game like this.

The following is intended for new and casual players, who have just recently made it to level 70 on their Demon Hunter and are equipped with low-end gear but are looking for a setup that will help them stay alive and play more efficiently, so that they can begin to acquire better items. Reaper of Souls, Patch 2.1, September 19th, 2014.
