I'm learning much from your DH build selection and is constantly improving my own DH in the process; Thks, appreciates it lots for the crash and impactful course!

Tonite, I'll swap out Vault -Tumble (which was hardly used at all) with Sentry -GT for just Boss and uber kill objectives only ...hehehe. Perhaps, I might consider to try Companion -Bat instead of Boar in another kill test to generate sufficient supply of hatred to produce sentries timely.

Haha, I'm improving mine too by looking at others. Currently aiming at these two players as my target:

http://www.diabloprogress.com/hero/revrac-.../Revrac/3316454
http://www.diabloprogress.com/hero/beast-1...arless/17456233

Crazy, crazy stats they have.

Anyway I've tried MP10 Azmodan once, around 2m 37s.. can't beat your timing sad.gif

And I went to try tanking two MP10 packs at once.. and it's crazy, I can't survive. Need more EHP cry.gif

It was

Succubus Champ Pack with Reflect Damage, Frozen, Descrator, XXXX
and
Phase Beast Champ Pack with Fire Chain, Health Link, Avenger, XXXXXX

Forgot the last affix of the packs. Tankable but have to kite when 3 stack of Descrators; also if kena chain-frozen and gloom expires + trap's gone = instadeath. cry.gif

To achieve such EHP, you have to sacrifice the following:

1. Attack Speed
2. Discipline

I honestly believe an EHP ranging from 500-600k is enough. The mitigation from your HP, AR, gloom and GT is and should be in the 90% region easily.

I mean, if u're gonna stack that much EHP at the expense of (1) and (2), do you longer see the purpose of playing DH? No proc? no disc pool, hence just tanking hits. no that fast shooting feel. Is that what you really want?

I know is a matter of choice and this is just my opinion on the way i want to build my DH. No offense intended.

Well said! thumbup.gif Going for EHP certainly limits the cap of the achievable DPS due to the lack of ASPD / Crit Chance in some items, and also the max disc.
But since everyone will have different preferences, can't say much on it as long as it's to each of his/her own. laugh.gif

Try scoundrel with Windforce + Any Cold elemental jewelry (I uses Eye of Etlich).

Multi-arrow Cold + Multi-arrow Knockback = thumbup.gif

While you're at it, get him 2 x ASPD + LOH Rings (to maximize KB effect); or Puzzle Ring + HellFire Ring for Goblin & EXP Bonus tongue.gif

75 pierce buri with 15 freeze chance and the star is cool...

I like what gecko suggested.. Hehe

Eh btw, anyone tried hysteria on scoundrel?
*
The extra 10% damage is very nice, the only downside is it's usually activated after the mobs are dead (for trash mobs); and does not last long enough and cannot be chained during packs / boss.

interesting.. didn't know about buriza / star of ak before.. can't wait to see how it works!

i'm trying hysteria recently.. can't really see the effect since there's no effect at all, and i've been observing my crit numbers (cause i dont switch on damage numbers) sometimes it does go higher than normal.. not sure whether it's due to the skill or what.. need more research..


Added on November 27, 2012, 11:23 pm

any way to see whether it's 'activated' or not? how often will it cast? let's say if i'm able to crit once every sec, does that mean that it will be activated every 5 seconds and lasts for 3 seconds?
*
Yeah, there's always the 2-second gap even if you crit almost non-stop. You'll able to hear a sound effect when it's activated, forgot if there's animation or not.

The best way to refill DISC and HP is through Spike Trap: Echoing Blast. Or Cluster Arrows if you have the reduction cost rolls on your gears.

but i think Traps still much much better.

275% weapon damage * 3 * 3 = IMBA.
*
I thought you mentioned that you prefer CA:LfB due to its instantaneous casting time? laugh.gif

Anyway for those who have issues with insufficient disc, try Bitter Pill, Night Stalker, RoV: Dark Cloud. Should be good enough to chain gloom (not permanent, but with some slack in-between which is fine if you lay traps before gloom's expired).

With only 30 disc pool, I never had issues with disc without even using preparation.

Yeah i still prefer LfB but until i can afford a DML with -5 cluster arrow cost and SoJ, got no choice really to stick with Echoing Blast.

Besides, Echoing Blast syncs well with NS. LfB too but again, i need the gears for it.
*
+1 on bolded statement. I think there's some other skills that's nice with NS, just that we hardly come by and use it. Just recently I found out Dark Cloud procs NS really frequently when I was experimenting around max single-target DPS skill build.

Talking about DML, I've waited for ages ever since the last time I missed a similar stats DML as compared with my current ones, except for the skill bonus (Bola Shot instead of Elemental Arrow). doh.gif

Yeah 20AS, 10CC and 10 DISC with Bola or Cluster is what i want. Susah la.

oh one more thing, anyone can explain to me what's the difference between Anathema and Beastly Bombs?
*
My target's 20AS 10CC 10LIFE with Bola (since I swap builds and only use EA for farming).

But really, it's like finding gems in the sea doh.gif

Both looks similar to me, but Anathema seems to be shooting in more constant areas. Not really sure as I only ever used Flying Strike, Stampede and Dark Cloud (recently)
