Introduction

Hit fast hit hard is the motto I give to you. With this build domination is imminent(not the game mode dom but victory dom). One thing about this build that goes with all hunter builds if you can't hit it won't do **** pardon the language. It is time to make a build that exemplifies this. This is my first build and have no clue on how to use the item pictures in the chapters. Don't expect videos because I have no gameplay capturing device nor will I buy one for one build.

Items

Most of my items revolve around attack speed, Why you need to get that stun on 1.First buy boots best item to start with. Next you buy sprint(in case of ares buy beads first then sprint). Next finish the boots(pen and is a good item to always start with) then move to build Qin's sais. Once Quin's sais is built(for passive that does more damage the more hits you land and attack speed) you will move on to Asi(for pen and life steal with some more attack speed). When you finish Asi build Rage(the attack speed on rage means more than the power on the new malice, also new malice is not that good in my humble opinion). Then buy death-bringer this is where the hit hard comes in from the hit fast hit hard motto earlier(more crit damage is most of the time good except against Geb just a warning). Last but not least you buy the executioner reducing the enemies protections with thin can truly allow you to hit fast and hit hard plus the extra speed is a nice bonus as well if you can get to it.

Skills

Focus 1,3 and 4 put points in 2 when you absolutely have to. Use 1 to stun. Don't use 2 healing is pointless with cupid in arena anyway. Use 3 to escape from bad situations. Sprint to finish fights or a last ditch effort to escape( you activate it so I will treat it like a skill).

Ranked Play

This not really a major competitive build. More or less this is a casual build. If you want to try competitive go ahead I can't seem to get into one of those matches.

Pros / Cons

pros
high attack speed
pretty good attack power
decent pen
pretty good movement speed
escape from being ganked or out numbered
very good 1v1
cons
low life steal
no defense items
no stacking items
People can rip through you like tissue. Basically you are a glass canon. if ganked or out numbered run(better safe than dead).

Creeping / Jungling

None this is arena, okay fine any jungle buff but mana will be good. Hit minions to kill them kind of obvious use 1 to kill more of them but it would be better to save for stuns.

Team Work

Use 4 to team work. what did you expect, okay work with team mates to pick off enemies with lower health. Also help team escape using 3.

Summary

As a hunter is it of the utmost importance to be fast why because you can't take any damage or you will end up dead. So I made this build with that in mind. In closing have fun, and get those kills.
