Please tell me if my build worked out for you! Generally I change it up with alternatives based on my allies and enemies as I try to fit my build the best for my team and my own benefit as well. When it comes to skill sequence, sometimes I'll change up Shifter of Seasons with Bramble Blast if I need to, but I tend to rank up Bramble so I can kill people while they're trapped and are taking extra damage. In my opinion that's the best way to deal with enemy guardians. Plus, even if I'm not doing damage early-game then my allies can help me take them out too while their pinned. The only Gods that generally escape my build easily are Ravana and Chang'e. I have a build for Ravana if you want to go check that out as well!

Thanks!

Hi Asim,

Looking at more of your guides. Hope you don't mind.

Mode: again, clarifying which mode(s) this is for would help. Again, I'd say this isn't a Conquest build. No starters.
Penetration: as with your other build, you're lacking in early pen. For Hunters, it's a bit different than mages, and you DO build The Executioner...but it's just way late. It should be a mid-game item.
The kitchen sink of damage items: At least you build Wind Demon before Deathbringer...but do you realize how expensive this build is? You're dealing with a really, really bad power curve due to the cost of the items. Also, you build 3 crit items along with Qin's Sais. I mean, yes, once these items are all built, you're going to deal a LOT of damage...but Qin's is usually built in a high pen build, and the passive doesn't scale with crit damage...people usually don't build Qin's + crit for that reason.
Katana??: you can't buy Hastened Katana on a hunter...
Meditation: Generally suggest NOT getting Meditation on a hunter. You're still missing Purification Beads.
Skill leveling: Okay, this one's better, mostly. Bramble Blast is maxed first. Shifter of Seasons is 2nd, but the weird thing is you level Horn Charge to 2 at level 10...if it's not a priority skill, why wouldn't you prioritize another level of Shifter?

Hope this info helps.
