Is trail of ruin + first blood viable

Classes Demon Hunter

Hello there fellow DH.

Recently I have been wondering if my “lazy build” is still viable.
I am running Apptite/Demon blade/trail/soul/first blood and Demonic (OFC).
This minimum key pressing build is fun and really good in a high movement environment and all but I feel like it fall short on DPS.
When I sim the optimal talent I get 1k more damage and it shows. I tried that recommended playstyle and well, its not fun.
I feel so restricted with Fury due to eye beam supremacy , the Demon bite is a pain to use and the gameplay feel so stiff.

What is your opinion?

Btw - PVE/Venth/collective

trail of ruin is garbo, so it’s never worth playing it, even if you play FB with chaos theory you would rather go UC or GT, considering you wanna play the demonic you should go for the standard: Blind fury- Insatiable hunger, UC or glaive tempest, cylce and demonic

I am well aware there is a dps gap,
But how do you get into rhythm. Do you drop blade dance from the rotation?

Trail of Ruin is not a bad talent when paired with First Blood IF you don’t need uncapped AoE.

Unfortunately First Blood is currently miles behind Cycle of Hatred in all scenarios, making ToR a bad choice. The other two choices either do more damage and cost less, or are literally free damage.

Without trail, you still want to use Death Sweep on 2-3 or more targets.

Blade Dance is rather useless though.

So I have been playing with the “correct” build for a day now.
Macroed demon and chaos to a singel buttom and blade and glave tempest to a second one (with shift ofc).

Damage is better, but I am still getting used to the movement.
