In my opinion, pump up your dps/cri hit/dmg, do not spend time on your armor/all resist as DH doesn not need much all resist and armor. No matter how high your all resist is, mobs can still 1 hit KO you. Especially in Act 4. So whats the point working on your def??

Suggestion from a 120k dps dh.

120k dps with SS or without?

I disagree on this. Mobs generally could not 1-SHOT me now and it can even be further improved, if I can invest more on AllRes/VIT.

don know if all a team of 4 DH go through inferno ?
never try this before lolz...

Unless all the DH's have high dps / survivability, it's good. But if the team can't dish out damage fast enough or tank long enough, 4 corpses / grave yards will keep appearing.

nop, from 2H bow. 35k HP 230AR

i made a huge mistake bidding for the bow, which cause me to depend on the bow stat and build my other armor/equipment. now unable to upgrade d.. coz it cost too much!



i got only 230AR and 35k hp, no 1 hit KO from mobs in inferno up to Act4 oso. 2-3 hit KO got la... I've seen 600AR 60k hp taking hits n killing elites/blues with average dps...

120k+ dps with ss, 60k+ dps w/o ss
generally small mobs cant 1 hit KO me, but some of the mobs in act 3/4 can still 1 hit KO me.
300+ All Resist, 25k hp. Smoke screen and preparation is a must for my playing style

I prefer SP+gloom x2 then preparation+backup plan then SP back.. settle 1 elite

i started using SP+gloom recently
the issue i got is mob/elite/champ casting FEAR and it kinda makes me run around unable to kill them
how do you counter that?

Ya, fear and knockbacks are the worst for tanky build, as gloom dont have cc break as smokescreen.
The best way for this is to amp up your disc so you can gloom 6 times.(3 times+3 more times after prep)

I got 8 on my cloak+8 on bow, so that make 16 bonus disc.Makes all the difference.

try this? http://us.battle.net/d3/en/calculator/demo...;eYh!YcYZcZ

start with shooting cluster arrow, then normal shot to recharge ur hatred(with SP if elite/blue does reflect dmg) then by the time it reaches u most shud by 1/2 hp left.
U can either SP again n use nether tentacle or u can cluster arrow again and run with smoke screen. then prep and repeat..

thats wat im doing currently in act 3 inferno

What I do is a little different, assuming the pack is Ref. Dmg.

Mark of the Death: Mortal Enemy > Gloom > Cluster Arrow: Cluster Bombs x 2 > (Full hp due to Gloom+Bomb high damage) > kite + hungering arrow until HP below 30%; or hatred enough to cast two bombs) > Gloom + Cluster Arrow: Cluster Bombs

dmg reflect mobs

solo
for me, don hogging all the globe health...leave them behind to came back later for it..
since i use vengeance..health globe also refill my hatred and disp and my health ...so can con't pew pew pew....

group
pew pew pew till health drop ,then stop for refilling...or tell friend to left behing few globe...and sometime if friend near by when the get the globe it also fill up ur HP.

the mobs that me cannot tahan is the vortex,wall,fast,acane ...like the troll down the sewer one..release asid when they die....that one straight away skip....their speed crazy man..how many rest and HP also sure hit die one.

Haha nice.
Another Vengeance user.

Really hard to convince ppl to use this skill.Very good and underrated.

My friend also know already how vengeance work.For elite I use CA 3 times, only then they pick up globes than I continue CA some more.
Usually can get off 5 CA this way.

Ive found some info about health globes drop rates

Blue monsters: 60% chance to drop at 50% and 0% life.
Yellow monster: 100% chance at 75%, 50%, 25% and 0% life.

Big slow hitters(white) also have 25% more chance to drop them on death.

I leave globe all around the map when I solo too, but *a little* hard to co-ordinate during group play.. the globes just..

Haven't tried Vengeance yet, maybe I should try to swap out my NS / CotW (depending on my mode) with it. Currently using CotW + Scoundrel cold shot. Works nice as well

vengeance user here too. Yeap agreed, its an underrated skills. Very useful against large number of mobs..

Extra hatred, and go for health globe - voila ur hatred near half full/full again
