Yeap, Monk and Barbs are good friends.

They lick each other.

Pros and cons.

What you want to play?
Tanky or range shooter?

How do you want to push a buff? To have your voice heard?

Barbs were so weak in Inferno.
What changed that?
The WW-Tornado Barb changed that.
And the gears changed that too (plenty of LOH/LS gears now).

I do not understand why you want to use "Barb" to support your wishlist.
Barb is a melee hero. And there is no way DH can do what Barbs are doing.

No, it's patch 104.
This video shows you LOH vs LS.
The answer is, you need both in patch 105.

Yes, you need to change to 2x1H bow to tank. LOH is important. Likewise, LS.
It is better to keep both.

But DH still can't do what Barb's doing.
You can't count how many hits the Barb did in the video.

Barb can't stay invisible.

Because they do not have adequate LOH in their gears.
And low AR too.

LS is lifesteal.
If you use one hand with 950 LOH. You need other gears, amulet & rings, to make up adequate LOH.

My DH use both LOH and LS.
With hungry arrow, with average 120-140K DPS, it is very normal to hit multiple targets with more than 100K damage and I get a lot of life recovery from LS. .

Added on September 26, 2012, 10:26 amYes, some players just focus too much on glass cannon.

After so many patches, IMO, we need a very balance build.
Balance DPS/Armor/AR/HP/life recovery etc etc.
Any nerf or buff, ada-aku-kisah.jpg

I believe you still can do it.
If can't, get another 1H with 900+ LOH.

Personally I prefer 2H crossbow too. Because it can deliver higher and consistent damage.
My average damage is 120-150K. With hungry arrow, I can hit many targets.

Just to add, if you have sharp shooter as your passive skill, focus more on critical damage i/o crit chance.

P/S Are you going to use your monk's gears on DH?
My DH uses my Monk's gears. So she has high AR and physical resistance.

Generally your stats seem good enough to complete Inferno.
Armor is good. AR should be okay (I've seen some are lower than yours).

Just to comment on your life regen.
Reflect damage (of elites) could be an issue if you do not have sufficient life regeneration (LOH/LS).
I see you have 471 LOH + 2.7% LS.
I am not sure how well you cope with the damage reflection. If you find difficulty, try use Gloom.
If it's still not good, you may need to change one gear to increase your LOH/LS.

You don't need high HP as you don't play a tanker DH.
Your current HP is good enough.
Just kite when you encounter fireballs, fire and damage reflection (that you can't cope with).

Added on October 10, 2012, 10:33 amI believe yuhhaur just wants to complete Inferno at this stage.
I think he will not use his DH to farm.
So, his current stats should be good enough to complete Inferno.

If you can tank with 33K, then it is enough.
I have seen tanker DH with 60K HP.

It depends on the build.
shin6619 may have a more efficient build (with combination of gears & skills) to proc higher life recovery.

If I'm not mistaken, shin6619 had no problem to tank Ghom in MP10 PTR105.
He has got a very efficient build.

No problem. Let me know when you need it.

Speaking of tanker against Diablo Inferno, I used my monk to tank diablo today.
Co-op game where all three players down in the beginning of shadow stage. Killing 4 shadows for 3 rounds in shadow stage.
I tanked until the end. Just stood there and whacked. Fear no fire.

No video though since forum member asked me to assist.
(p/s forum member, Zelda, is the one who asked me to join the game).

Shin, i'll add you shortly.

My concern is, which proc higher LOH/LS return?

Which MP? Please be more specific.

Shin, it is indeed difficult for ranged players, especially for those glass cannon build and build without LS/LOH.
2 general scenarios I noticed.
Firstly, the AI of elites has increased. In co-op game, I saw elites go after ranged players instead of melee heroes.
Secondly, the reflect damage has increased.

Generally, your build is very good enough.
Your build can even do MP10, remember? It just took long long time to kill elites.

I think the point here is to kill fast, which is just not possible if you wanna do high MP, unfortunately.

Speaking of upgrade gears, if you have budget and you find a right gear, I'd say why not?
Increase DPS could certainly help in fast killing in MP5/6 (I think that is the most ideal MP for most players).
I found there is 900+ LOH on amulet now. Try get one if you can to boost up your LOH.
