Nightmare mode is a joke so far. Took me less than a day to get to Nightmare. Been trawling around for good stuff now.

Be 60 by tomorrow or so.

Edit: Lvl43 now lulz. Working on act 2.

Take Twin Chakrams. Period.

Hungering Arrow with Puncturing Arrow is the best single target DPS for DH because it can infinitely proc so you could have arrows piercing bosses non-stop.

Chakram + Bat companion means you have 7 hatred regen. As of now I can throw Chakrams endlessly so farming is easy.

I'll report back later on how hard the next difficulty is.

DEX, Flat damage increase, critical damage, attack speed, critical rate all contribute to your damage rating.



This is mine at the moment.

P.S: That's not alot. Regular elites in Hell have around 100k health now and 2hko me if I'm not careful.

Not until higher tier. Cluckeye has 1.58~1.60 attack speed.

They may have lower rate of fire, but they make up for it in raw damage which contributes to your skill damage. If you are using skills like chakram, then faster RoF is better but for high hatred cost skills like impale, its better to use 2-H crossbow or bow with high attack.

53.

30 odd hours of play maybe? A week then, fairly reasonable.

If you like high RoF bows...may I present to you my favourite bow of all time:

Smokescreen does the same thing but gives you immunity. Why would you pick Shadow Power?

No need. Just need to manage your positioning well. I don't die to waller or vortex. Its those buggers that charge and teleport that are hell >: (

You try to fight them on Hell mode when they have 100k+ health fuuuu

Meh, ferrets are crap. Negligible damage and I have a pickup range of like 22 yards.

Apparently doesn't work in later difficulties. The current solo method in Hell is Electric Bola + Impale. With 1H-XB you can throw 3 bolas 1 impale alternating for maximum DPS. All things considered that Act IV has the easiest boss..well I'll find out soon.

Also Sharpshooter + Impale = 25k crit lmao.

Recent upgrade to my gear yielded quite a substantial improvement to my DPS.



Soloed Azmodan in <1 minute.

P.S: That is without sharpshooter.

What does INT have to do with health gloves? Yes you will need INT.

It calculates damage, crit, crit damage, attack speed. The damage from the off-hand weapon doesn't count to my knowledge, you only gain a 15% IAS boost which is why dual wielding yields lower damage.

When you get a better quiver you'll see that Dual Wield sucks terribly.

There has been no instance where my damage has gone up as a result of dual wielding. Maybe when I get 2 800dps crossbows we'll see.

f me. I caved in and purchased a 840dps weapon for 2m.

At least it was worth the upgrade. Act II Inferno elites are relatively easy now.

Do the math. 1 sec is worth 7 discipline. Which is more efficient to take?

DPS upgrade after some crucial purchases, most notably my hand crossbow which cost me a whopping 2m. Act I Inferno is basically like Normal mode for me now.



Act II however, is a totally different ballpark. Nothing will help you survive there.

Edit: 197% MF is with Nephalem Valor 5 and Fortune.

Can, anytime @ Covetous Shen and its cheap. Don't worry about removing as Perfect Squares (R8) drop by the boatloads in higher difficulties

I have too many Might just trash the lower grade ones and save money to upgrade to R14. Both my smith and shen are 10 so..but 20k per gem is mad. I have too many slots to fill

Depends. What do you intend to do? Quivers can get higher crit rate from a legendary quiver.

Dual Crossbows have better speed. If you plan to use on hit effects like life on hit, then obviously this is better.
