What is a good way to increase the rate of generation of my discipline?

Question

Playing as a demonhunter, my discipline just regenerates too slowly and it often runs out when I try to kite difficult to kill champions/bosses with Vault along with Tumble. I am aware of quite a few ways to increase Hatred regeneration, but not for discipline.

What are some of the ways to increase its regeneration and/or increase its maximum amount?

Answer 1

There are various affixes that can appear on gear such as Confident and Diligent that increase maximum discipline. I've only been able to find Hatred regen in D3db, so it looks like I may have been mistaken about that part in my comment. You can stack a little +discipline gear to give you a bit more of a buffer, but that will only help so much in prolonged fights. These affixes seem to be available from the very start of the game, at least according to D3db. I can't remember exactly when I started noticing them on my own play through, but that's down to luck anyway.

There are also a few passive abilities that can help, depending on what skills you use in your build:

• Vengeance: Gain 2 discipline whenever you pick up a health globe.
• Night Stalker: Critical strikes have a chance to gain 1 discipline. (Possibly pair with Sharpshooter and Bait the Trap for more crits)
• Custom Engineering: Increases duration of some of your discipline using abilities.
• Perfectionist: Decreases the cost of all abilities that use discipline by 10%

Other things that may help:

• All of your Defensive skills have runes which reduce their cost.
