well blizz is nerfing attack speed soon, so will save up my money until the patch hit so i can gear up accordingly

I alternate between NT and Hungering Arrow when stutterstep kiting, that and a caltrops every half screen distance means i kill packs before my discipline runs out most the time, unless it's stuff like Extra Health or I run out of kiting room. Don't click the target, just shift + click to fire in the general direction, HA and NT have some room for error but takes some practice.

Can't rmb my Battletag atm, in office, drop me a pm with yours and I'll add u up when I get back?

Sweet formula there , will fill in the details later tonight lol

Does attack speed contribute to your attacks per second? Cuz my attacks per second is 1.6 while in the details is 1.82. I just remembered some dude have 3.1 attack per second.

Attack speed contribute to that?

Iirc, just put your attack speed/attacks per second from the detailed chart (like the 1.82) into the formula above.

When you say your attack per second is 1.6, which number does that refer to? The 1.82 is the one in the details sheet kan

Mostly it's 2H Xbows or Bows, cuz when you use 1H Xbows, ur atk alternates between the 2 weapons so if there's a huge disparity in the damage, ur dps will drop.
At entry lvl 1h xbows it isnt worth it cause you will need good stats and socket on the xbow to break even, which will often cost u an arm and a leg, whereas a good quiver off the AH which gives 15% atkspd bonus (same as DW bonus) costs u just a fraction of that.
It's more common for builds highly based on crit and using stuff like HA with the final rune which relies on critting alot for aoe dmg.
That and the extra discipline u can get off 1H xbows that arent available on 2h Xbows and Bows.

Yeah mang , 1.82 is in the details sheet but 1.6 is in the weapon description lulz

@ -Aerin-

Allrighty dude my battletag is JeanLesGuyz#6556

Ohh. The one in formula is total of your shizo (weapon + other stuffs)

Damn! I always though it is counted as a whole and the alternate attack is just animation.

No more John Woo style I guess

if rich enough to get 2 somehwat equal dps 1 handed crossbows, both with their separate sockets for emeralds, will the crit damage stack or calculated individually?

dual wield xbows are awesome, if u're rich. sadly, i'm not and i use a 700+dps bow only. saving up for a 1k dps one.

Well according to what I gathered here from various pro's it appears its counted seperately : /

Dem server maintenance.

Act 2 so easy kill belial (with mortal enemy, belial phase 3 died before my hatred runs out )
But Act 3 so imposibbru...

My strat for act 2 is for stun grenade to stun lock pesky elite.
Its easy for dual wield cos we have imba attack speed.

Usually against elite is like this.
Mark an elite, dump all hatred on NT, mobs got close gloom and grenade away.
After hatred full, step back a bit shoot NT again, rinse and repeat.
My prob are mostly those extra health/health link one.So damn long to bring down.

Im so jelly with ppl who can stun lock mobs on dmg caltrops.My disc is too low to use it.

Ppl oso said that grenade is good cos 1 shot you can triple your life on hit.
I only have 100+, so might try to boost that later to 600-800.

It stacks diminishingly, but it does stack, I believe.
Tried dual wield without gem, with one gem and with 2 gems.

Is the server down for maintenance?

yes my friend....2 lousy hours

I found out the ATKSPD + CRITDMG is way much useful for DH than high DEX or DMG.

Especially when I do not need to aim, LOL

I'm using a bow with 1,2xx dps + attack speed. I find the minimum damage way too low for my liking. I wasted millions just to try out 1,0xx dps 2H xbow with socket still it doesn't beat my bow. 2H xbow at 1.1k~1.2k is way too expensive and I wonder if its worth it. Anyone can let me try?

Hehe =D

edi can enter liao US server

I dont understand how ppl can use granade successfully.

The range is soo short and there is a lag time before it actually explodes for dmg. (The bouncing animation).

Grenade isnt recommended for glass cannon non dual wield set up, its practically a melee range attack.
Min req of grenade is dual wield for the permastun or you need stun from rain of vengeance to help out.

Even then, its not really for the dmg, just for quick stagger to fill up hatred/health with loh/lifesteal.On inferno, the stun is 0.1x2 sec =0.2 sec
I dont think any dh could do inferno without NT.

Whats NT?
