Once you reach inferno jus fully pump dps. No point to wear vit gear cos you gonna kiss the floor with 1 hit anyway.

I tried b4 with 1.1k dex and 900 vit, still 1 hit ko

Try put some resist and armor in your eq, then you will see some difference.

Right now, I have 16k hp, but can tahan about 2-3 hits before kong. Now killing elites is alot easier (unless those invulerable ones)

Invulnerable is one thing, but wht i hate the most is reflect damage 

Errmm.. armor 3k, then resist average 230. Basically both armor and resist will reduce dmg by 50% each.

When those khazra impaler poke me, previously was around 11k, then when add some resist, it drop to 8k, now its about 6-7k. Also previously when I let those elites with waller corner me, I will straight piss in my pants. Now can at least tahan few more seconds spam spam skill, occasionally lucky tahan until wall break, can smoke screen and lari.
Haven't tried tentacles yet, but for now I do my usual caltrops, kite, shoot, kite, spike traps, shoot, smokescreen lari, repeat. Maybe because of my resist, but the reflect dmg for my spike traps is greatly reduced compare to last time. 

Currently stucked at Inferno Act II lol, all I need is MORE GOLD!    to get better gears. 

With 200%+ GF with 5 stacks of NV buff, I can farm gold at Hell Act 3 Siegebreaker quest more than 100k+ per hour lol.

Anyway guys, I have a question before making the right decision, is it necessary to have all resistance for my gears in order to survive?

Hmm just started play ma brother's DH.
Can I get further info from sifu here as my fren ask me pump dex all the way.
Currently in Nightmare hmm but in my knowledge I think need some vit and resists, correct me if I am wrong.

Kekeke ok
hmm so dex, att speed and crit?
Cause i remember i read somewhere mention that if you crit > 100% should use xxx bow and crit < 100% should use a different bow?
Any1 can verify this? I know there is passive talent give different bonus to different bow.

Never had been this discouraged in a game before lol

I cant beat Inferno Act 2 Elites mostly and will get one shotted most of the time.

Hopefully a pro can guide me as I just seem to be not quite up for Inferno Act 2.

Level 60 now , I have 3K armour , 20K life , 32K DPS and All Resists at about 55%.
Sockets everything with Square Emeralds mostly.

I join a public game yesterday and was shooed away due to my bad gear

Would really love to be a better DH , if anyone could give some advise especially those who have complete Inferno using DH solo or co-op

I know Bnet forums have a thread there but there was way too much maths in it and Its taking a lot of my brain cells lol.

Advise please? Thanks

Oh well my skill set is ;

Left click - Grenades - Stun Grenades
Right click - Rain of Vengeance (Stun beasts)

1) Shadow Power - Shadow Glide
2) Preparation - Focused Mind
3) Caltrop - Jagged Edges
4) Cluster Arrow - Dazzzling Arrow

The focus is to just perma stun the mob/enemy while letting caltrops whittle away the stunned mobs life (Works well so far for Inferno Act 1 despite the same eq)

Shadow power to escape while dropping caltrops to regain life. On tougher opponents , I activate Shadow power and have grenads+ cluster arrow burst heal.

I Chose Preparation - Focused Mind due to the total discipline earned is much more while I lure the mobs and dropping caltrops.

So the whole thing, I lure these mobs to tight places while dropping caltrops to slow + damage until they all group or moving at a group slowly.

Then my standard attack with stun grenades will keep them on the caltrops. Some may escaped being stunned and thats when I use cluster arrow - Dazzling Arrow which will almost guarantee  a stun , if not the next stun grenade wave will stun them anyways.

Against some elites I could hold my ground with ;

Stun grenade,Shadow Power, Cluster Arrow , Caltrops drops which I get bursts of heal quite well but it takes some time

However , I am certain to die when the elites have stats like Mortar,Fast,Teleport,Vampiric. Let me know if youneed further info as thsi method dont seem to work very well
I believe kiting is luring the mob into a place where you can group em together/damage them ? Not sure what stutter stepping means lol ( cant access Bnet/game sites too in office )

Tru dat , mostly close quarters but i maintain them that way close but cant touch me (if they can be stunned that is lol)

Reading your definition of stutterstepping made me realize thats what i was doing previously but anotherbuild involving bola shots lol but because its too tiring to play that way for me so I dint use that playstyle.

For offscreen kiting , mostly you be using hungering arrow? Since its quite difficult to put the crosshair on the target?

Anyways when you explain stutterstepping perhaps the animation of dude throwing grenades could be cut by me slotting in a low hatred skill like screaming skull

So whats your Battletag? perhaps we can play together sometime

Hmm thats what a few DH told me too.

I wonder if there's any benefit at all in using 2x 1H x bow besides looking awesome? lol

i know it hits other monsters in the area. what im asking is whether if the spray of teeth hits the primary target hit by the hungering arrow as well. meaning that the primary target get hit by both the hungering arrow and the spray of teeth. goddamit so hard to esplain

i use to run a xbow with +500 LOH, it counts for nothing when mobs on inferno reflects me to death. so just for reflect mobs i run shadow power. and i switched to a xbow with higher dps.

orly. thats sad :\
got link?

orly. thats sad :\
got link?

i found a couple of threads but like u said, some say it does and some say it doesn't. rili dunno which one 

hrm. was comparing 2hand crossbow and 2hand crossbow.

that's why I'm puzzled. cos in Monk, no matter what I highlight also I see the stats reflected.

anyway this was just a one case thing. Still clueless.

yea main reason is for the aoe but was wondering if it's good against single target as well. i wonder about it since i think i saw double yelow numbers on one enemy once yesterday. DA is good but it depends on pierce to proc which is fixed value.

oh ok. another Q.

in other characters, say a monk. A 2-handed weapon will occupy both hands.

On a DH - 2-hand crossbow doesn't take up both hand space, so there's still space for quiver.

So in the case you mentioned, does it mean the quiver, though on the body, is not counted?

i dun understand. what are you talking about? the piercing chance of hungering arrow? the damage increase of devouring arrow with each successful pierce? the amount of damage increase when you crit? the amount of spray of teeth damage?

for piercing chance of hungering arrow and damage increase of DA (devouring arrow rite?) for each pierce they are both fixed at 35% chance and 70% damage increase per pierce respectively. they are not tied to crit chance in any way.

and if you are talking about damage increase of a critical hit they are no fixed value and is dependant on gear and some skills (?) to increase it with the base value being +50% damage.

for spray of teeth the damage value is fixed at 50% of the initial hit.

sorry but i really pening lolz

It's so hard to strive a balance between Survivability and Damage
Decided to ditch Sharpshooter and replace with Night Stalker for the proc% of recovering Discipline. Managed to survive and farm Act 3 rather comfortably, with few deaths to stupid affixes (Especially Hulking Phasebeast, having serious problem with those packs).

I believe that the number-crunching thread for Hungering Arrow you were saying is this

lolz ok ok i get it. im not really interested in the overall damage increase between using DA or SoT or anything. just wanna know if SoT hits the initial target or not. i get it that DA is better in 1 vs 1 situation but what i want to know is whether SoT is utterly useless in 1 vs 1 or not.

hates math. ugh.
