The world of Sanctuary is a BIG place, defended by hundreds of thousands of heroes each and every day. To help you get to know some of these fellow nephalem a little better, we've created the Fresh Meat N' Greet.

The Fresh Meet N' Greet is a recurring series of interviews featuring you, our community. A few times each month, we'll sit down and chat with six different community members, one for each class, and then post our Q&As right here in these forums.

Up this week for Demon Hunters: Impreza#2701

[GENERAL INFO]

Grimiku: Tell us a bit about yourself.

Impreza: I'm a 38 year old Filipino expat working in the Middle East, Kuwait to be exact. I've been living here for the past seven years and have learned to speak and read Arabic. I'm working for one of the largest telecommunications company here as Senior Retail Executive. I love the Diablo series, the mere idea of gearing up your character excites me.

I'm a very competitive person especially when it comes to online games. I did lots of time attack challenges during D3 vanilla especially during the Rapid Fire "era". I might have the fastest kill times on all bosses and made it top on Nubtro's DE challenge a year or two ago. Nyan beat my score but he was doing Nyan things :) I managed to get to G36(highest there is) on the Non-M6 challange prior to the Ancient Items era.


Grimiku: Got any cool hobbies or talents?

Impreza: I used to play the piano when I was younger. My friends and I hang out at each other's places and I'll start playing then they'll start to sing along. I am also into car audio stuff, I do my own install including cabling power and RCA cords from the headunit and battery all the way to the trunk towards my amplifiers.


Grimiku: How long have you been playing Diablo games?

Impreza: Started with Diablo 2 then LOD. We had a LAN shop back year 2000, me and my friends would play until the morning farming items and trading them with each other. My most memorable build was my Necromancer that I poured all skills only on Iron Maiden, Corpse Explosion and Rock golem . It was a real solid build!


Grimiku: Do you play any other classes?

Impreza: I only play DH.


Grimiku: What’s your history as a gamer?

Impreza: I must have played on everything starting from Atari, Commodore, NES etc. My first gaming PC was a Pentium 3 @ 800mHz and the newest game was Half Life if I remember correctly.

I loaned some money from my parents and I opened up a LAN shop. We started with 5 computers then bought another 5 just after a few months. Counter-Strike and Starcraft were very popular games back then. Me and my friends would drive around town playing for money. We spent countless hours practicing our timed builds in SC, including 2v2 and 3v3 games. Fast fwd SC2, I didn't really spend much time on it, but managed to get a decent Diamond lvl on 1vs1.


Grimiku: What some of your other favorite games and why?

Impreza: I was playing DOTA prior to the release of D3 to pass the time. My favorite heroes were Mercurial and Naga Siren. Prior to that, spent a good few years on an MMO called Tibia.


Grimiku: Are you in an awesome clan or community? If yes, tell us about them!

Impreza: I'm a new member of clan <VoiD>. The guys are very competitive and have a strict policy of getting auto kicked if you don't meet the GR55 requirement.


Grimiku: Most embarrassing moment while playing?

Impreza: Forgetting to slot Awareness passive during high GRs. We did a few trials and I forgot to change them back!


Grimiku: Most AWESOME moment while playing?

Impreza: Clearing GRs with 'Slo-ball' without the use of macros / other programs. I managed to clear a G47 and few seconds more would've cleared a G49.

[VENGEANCE IS MINE]

Grimiku: What drew you to the Demon Hunter?

Impreza: I started out as a WW Barb but immediately changed to DH when I saw 'TheProHacker' s stream. I told myself that "This class is awesome! , I need not worry about my defense and can all out DPS on gear!"


Grimiku: How do you prefer to exact vengeance: do you trap your prey with sentries and snares, or eliminate them from just out of reach with well-placed arrows?

Impreza: I try to imagine a "kill zone" where I'd lay down my sentries and make sure I'd have enough room to kite or fall back if things go wrong.


Grimiku: What's your favorite skill (or skill rune), and why?

Impreza: CA : Cluster Bombs! It's eye candy and if positioned properly. it does an insane amount of damage.


Grimiku: What build are you running currently?

Impreza: I don't have any fixed build. However, right now I am experimenting on a high CC build combined with EA:BL, rolling all sorts of CCs on my secondaries (read: expensive re-rolls). Its doing pretty well so far and managed to clear a 44. It still a work in progress.


Grimiku: If you could pick a skill to support with Legendary/Set items what would you pick and how would you support it?

Impreza: An immunity effect vs Reflect damage on shoulders perhaps might be awesome!


Grimiku: Are you currently hunting a specific item? What is it and how will it benefit your character?

Impreza: All I wish for Christmas / Valentines / Birthday is a properly rolled Ess of Johan. The class has lots of good AoE skills,


Grimiku: What’s the best Demon Hunter quote?

Impreza: "RUN!"


Grimiku: Name one piece of advice that you think every Demon Hunter should know:

Impreza: You should never get hit by melee attack.

[WHO'S NEXT?]

Grimiku: Which Demon Hunter should we interview next?

Impreza: http://us.battle.net/d3/en/profile/VocaloidNyan-1582/hero/58265204
It's a coin toss between Nyan and Die, but seems like Dieoxide is on a break. So let's put Nyan on the grill.


Grimiku: Pick a question to ask in the next interview!

Impreza: If you had to choice to remove one specific legendary item / affix, what would it be and why?


Grimiku: If you could change Shadow Power's base mechanic, what would you change it to and why?

Impreza: 2 set bonus : You get 50% off on repair costs :D
3 set bonus : All enemies you hit while facing backwards get additional 500% ? damage.
4 set bonus : You and your party members gain an additional 50% Resource cost reduction.
5 set bonus : Casting Shadow power makes you invisible (smoke screen). The effect is removed 1 second after using a skill / opening chests / activating a pylon etc...


Got any questions yourself for Impreza? Post them below!
