well if you slot sharpshooter, the critical goes up to 100% eventually.. means your first shot will be 50% extra of the critical dmg.. im guessing that's the dmg that showed on tooltip.. we should look for the base dmg i guess (lowest number of the dmg away from town..maybe?)

1h xbow only boosts critical rate, so it doesn't contribute to the dmg..

i see..
so since im going for DPS, better stick with 2 handed bow?
rite?

that's what i prefer atm, since we're always kiting and shooting.. not constantly shooting..

however if you have cc skills slotted, like screaming skull or webshot.. dual wield might be a good idea too.. faster speed = more cc = mobs can't get close to u

fighting boss dps wise i think both will be the same, considernig the weapons dps are equal.. since dual wield has really fast aspd..

i'll try dual wield when i have good 1h xbows, right now only have a legit 2h xbow..

btw i tried wielding 1h xbow and a shield.. it looks really funny lol.. wonder how'd it be

it does...move your mouse over to your damage and it'll show u what increases damage

wat is sharpshooter? noob <---

well i'm talking about archery with 1h xbow and 2h xbow..

one of the passives that increases your crit rate by 3% every second till it's 100%

since crit rate increases damage thus it's a great asset to DH

Hi guys , due to lack of time to experiment and to get experience from DH players here,

I was theorycrafting a Hatred build would be more effective that a Discipline build. Currently this is how my Discipline heavy skill set goes ,

Level 33 (lolnub i know)

1)Vault (Rune-Rattle & Roll)
2)Preparation (Rune-Invigoration)
3)Caltrops (Rune-Jagged Spikes)
4)Rapid Fire (Rune-Fire Support)

Primary attack mode - Entangling Shot (Rune-Chain Shot)
Secondary attack mode - Impale (Rune-Impact)

Passive skills - Cull of the weak,Archery,Hot pursuit.




Offense;
So basically it will be primary attack Chain Slow mobs and Cull of the weak deals extra damage to slowed mobs.

When needing to deal lots of damage fast will use Rapid Fire

Impale -I use it against Flyers,Mortars,Teleport usually

Defense;
Caltrops to slow and deal damage (if surrounded or walled)
Vault to escape if (surrounded or walled)

Basically I'd use Invigoration to refuel Discipline if emptied and at tight times when fighting bosses I constantly need to run more for discipline to recharge. Will be most vurnerable when Invigoration is charging.

Anyone wanna share their platy setup? lol

wat u guys dps in act 1 hell?
currently im 1.6k dps, just slash the SK

hey guys, lets do some testing, please remove all the passive skill and post up in the field as below, lets find out which passive skill which actually boots up the damage.

Type of Bow : Bow / 1 Hand Crossbow / 2 Hand Crossbow
Clean Damage :
Damage without Sharp Shooter :
Damage without Archery :
Damage with Sharp Shooter & Archery :

i think from the above we should know...

Sharp shooter = boost 3% critical chance every sec until 100%
Archery =
Bow : 15% Increase damage
2 Hand CrossBow : 50% Critical Hit Damage
1 Hand CrossBow : 10% Critical Hit Chance

As what i observed, when i'm tele to town to sell stuffs, my damage will be keep on increasing until the extend - the critical chance becoming 100%, add-on with Archery : 50% critical hit damage, it will be omgosh.. (i was using 2 hand crossbow that time)

whereby for 1 Hand bow, it doesn't make a big effect for this, because it only increase the critical hit chance by 10% which adds a little damage to our dps only...

please correct me if i am wrong


So, basically 2 handed crossbow will only make a big damage on the first hit, and everything will reset to the original stats when in the battle with slower att speed compare to 1 handed crossbow/bow

mm right archery

1.6k can survive hell? wow, you're pro

u sure its not 16k?

i wonder how u guys can boost the dps up to 10k++
from AH kah?
1.6k seriously, but wat the normal dps in hell act 1 actually?

well simply said, when u slot archery and sharpshooter.. the dmg tooltip shown is the 50% critical dmg number...

wonder if u slot steady aim it'll be calculated or not

steady aim increases damage, alot.................my damage from 60k -> 71k with steady aim, was using tactical advantage before that

lvl51 with 3.5k dmg is very low ... (without sharpshooter)

low? i think i need to get a good bow
