Bola is not hard i think. You gotta ask wKkay, i got killed by his bola many times and is annoying. You have to time smoke screen if there is a bola on you. Smoke screen is 1.5s and imminent doom is 2s. So yeah.

Strafe is cool as rocket storm is homing. If you are up against a DH, gotta use strafe or very troublesome.

My build:

HA: DA
Impale: GW (if DH present), impact (if no DH), overpenetration (using this against WD)

Cluster: LfB
Strafe: Rocket storm (if DH present) or Evasive Fire: Covering fire (if no DH)

Smoke Screen: Lingering Fog
Preparation: Backup Plan

Passives: Archery/Perfectionist, Tactical Advantage, Sharpshooter/Steady Aim

I think it's fun the way it is now. It's like fencing!

DH vs DH, see which DH pop up 1st then 1 hit kill. lul. Btw, I forgot to change to lingering fog rune.. no wonder my SS so fast already I pop up. lul

Hi DH. Which one will you pick?

Inna Temperance 1
- 190 Dex
- 90 Vit

OR

Inna Temperance 2
- 94 Dex
- 200 Vit

If i have above 60k hp.. I'll take 1st. If less I'll go for 2nd

smoke screen is invisible but not invulnerable to aoe dmg right?

yeap. Apparently rend goes through smoke screen. That sucks man. I get caught many times by that rend already.

Sifu, pls suggest PVP skills and which rune? Tq

My PVP build

HA: Cinder Arrow
Impale: GW

Vault: Acrobatics/ Companion: Boar
Strafe: Rocket Storm

Prep: Battle Scars
Smoke Screen: Lingering Fog

Passives: Perfectionist/Grenadier, Tactical Advantage, Steady Aim/Sharpshooter

From my experience dueling with other classes.

Vs Barbs
- Probably Impale: impact is better if u can't one shot them
- need to vault to stay out of rend's range since is kinda huge and GOES THROUGH SMOKE SCREEN (yeah that sucks)
- Against barbs with high EHP, strafe makes you vulnerable. So don't use it.

Vs Monks
- For me, this is a all about timing and forcing them to pop serenity. Once they pop serenity and it expires, advantage DH.
- They pop serenity, wait 3s. Chase them down and start firing HA on them. They'll most likely close the distance and try to SSS you. Let them try and u pop SS and watch them SSS nothing. When they done using SSS, impale them.

Vs Wiz
- Strafe: rocket storm is good to deal with the mirror images/bubbles/blizzards even.
- anyone knows how long diamond skin duration is??? cool down???

Vs WD
- Biggest pain in the ass but could be made easier using boar or wolf to distract the pet. (Deckard Cain, 2013)
- If you are accurate with your shots, impale: GW should be oky but if you are not, get impale: overpenetration or cluster arrows: LfB
- Need to really time your cluster/impale unload cuz of their spirit vessel passive.
- try to keep a range to avoid haunt. If u get locked on, i suggest go n kill the WD before haunt kills u. Like that both die. =D

Vs DH
- Boar/wolf is a counter to strafe.
- More EHP gives you a slight edge.
- Impale is slightly better cuz if allows you to make mistake (wKkay, 2013) tho i'm a fan of cluster arrows but need to use grenadier passive.

no love for charkram...haih

Joke of the day for PVP

WD
- *insert tons of info to beat them*

Monks
- *insert tons of info to beat them*

Wiz
- *insert tons of info to beat them*

Trash mobs: Barbarian
- *left empty*

^^ this game no fun without trash mobs :-)

This korean barb came into my game (with 2 other good DHs), and greeted us with, "Hi bugs."

So I thought, "yeah sure...", and when he TP'ed into the arena I shot an impale at him. 1000 damage, and he healed instantly back to his 200k HP. So I found out that he has something like 2000++ HP regen and 13000 armor, shield, ignore pain, war cry, etc... he was practically an untouchable tank!

The 3 DHs had to team up and stunlock him in order to kill him. He was THAT tough! Despite having only 40K DPS, he managed to escape sometimes, chase us, and kill us with rend

Do u think legacy set is worth buying just for PVP?

My friend a legacy DH wanna sell his set to me.

Gaze: 129 dex, 42vit, OS
Shadow: 75 dex, 65 vit, +9 DISC
Soul: 75 dex, 61 vit
Mark: 82 dex, 7 AS, 3 cc

Price: 200-250m

I think blizzard may do something on smoke screen ,if can hold it 1st until new patch to come out

I think is unfair to nerd/buff a class base on PVP man. But anyway, the problem DH face against barb is rend goes through smoke screen. I've dueled with you and realize that and died cuz of that too. Didn't realize rend goes through smoke screen until i got caught by your rend.

Interesting topic on a might nerf on calamity as someone found out that there's a mistake in damage calculation. This also includes weapons with min max damage. But the corrected damage calculation will not be very significant. I guess Calamity users won't actually feel the difference hopefully.
