Best ways to kill shielded wallers as a demonhunter

Question

I am playing a Demonhunter and can kite a lot of the champion combos. Shielded Wallers however, are my gordian knot. I have no idea how to kill them and usually just try to walk around them. What is the most effective Skill combo to kill them? Kiting seems to be impossible...

Answer

Using the Templar companion will have the champions focusing on him while you kill at range. Even if the shields are up, you can wait it out at range while the Templar sits there and takes a beating.

As far as a skill set, kiting is possible.

Hungering arrow is your friend because you don't really need to aim, but if you do have better aim, then bola shot can be more beneficial because it will damage more targets at a time.

Elemental Arrow + Frost rune will slow them down a lot as well. (This pairs really well if you have the Cull the Weak skill). You can also use rapid fire or chakrams here as well, depending on skill level.

Caltrops with either Torturous Ground (stun), or Hooked spines (increased slow) will keep them at a distance from you so you have more time to kite.

Vault is also very useful, not to get away after the walls have been casted, but through them. Yes, you'll take a hit or two, but it's better than dying. If you have elective mode on, you can also take smoke screen to help you not take this damage while jumping through them.

Sentry or spike trap will help as a third skill as they will do damage to them when the shields are down and you're busy kiting.

Rain of vengance + stampede is a very nice combo to use when their shields are down, you don't have to focus on running away, but to just stand there and fire away.
