Agreed with Sabenarian,

DH required many $$ to geared.
Nat ring + boot = $$$$
Witching Hour = $$$$$$
Lacuni = $$$
Manticore = $$$$$$
+ others = $$$

funny thing is when i rolling DH, the drops always for Barb.
may be Blizzard already set more drop on gears for Barb.

many ppl tried to compare Cala vs Manticore

even my self been switch from manticore to Cala due to the fun using it.

on manticore, we bounded by attack speed, so we focus on high dps skill or spell,
but in MP8 or higher, hatred and discipline running out due to long fight.

but on calamity, due to it attack speed, most of the time we not facing hatred and discipline problem,
so long fight not a issue,
with aps >2.8, we can perma stun and perma gloom.

other than resource issues,
we can have different build on Calamity.
Bola or Grenade? both doing well.

all based on my personal experience.

@2890,
agreed with your points
with your godly gears and play style, manticore will b your major weapon.
other hand, Calamity is suited to my play style.

when party with 4 DH (2 use manticore, 2 use Calamity),
ubers are perma stunned and getting high damages from manticore.
perfect combination.


@Deckard Cain,
if i am at your position, i will wait until 1.0.8.
1.3k Calamity "may" drop price when there are choice of new weapon.
especial the new bow/crossbow with cold/freeze effect.
2bil is too much for me.

sorry for your case.

but i don understand why duped item can sell in AH?
mean after buyout, there are not item sent to your completed tab?

whitesmith
from top to bottom
mempo - only dex, no vit, try to combo dex + vit, if over budget, try anderial helmet
amulet - no cc , no cd , no ias, looking for > 7cc with >50% cd.
nat chest - + spike trap 10% dmg? but u r not using spike trap in ur skill. so it is wasted.
glove - cc too low, must > 8%, better equip with cd or attack speed
belt - look for inna belt or witching hour, in ur case, inna belt may b cheaper
bracer - look for stongram with AR, if not, crafting is a good idea
left ring - sad no cc, ur cc is too low to gain on crit damage, get cc on ring as well
nat ring - upgrade to the ring with avg dmg or cc. avg dmg is cheaper compare to nat ring with cc.
quiver - skill multishoot is wasted. get quiver with ur prefer dps skill.

Calamity - sad no socket and it rolled a wrong main stat, int. get a calamity with socket if got enough gold, if not, then can get a calamity with Life steal and dps 1.1k to 1.2k, it is not that expensive.

there are many way to improve your equipment and used skill.
u may refer and copy the setup on some good players in this forum.

hope the info able to help you to progress the plvling.

regarding Chakram skill,
if u use it with Windforce with high Knockback % (> 45%)

then most of the monster been knockback by Chakram.
if there are 2-3 DH with the same build, then u are hunting the monster rather than they hunt u.

but this build not suitable when there are melee class in ur party.

my self got keep a SOJ and Embrace with -5 chakram while soloing.
but for Windforce, jz Embrace will keep ur hatred enough to perma cast Chakram.
for Calamity, u need SOJ + Embrace.

Agreed, Chakram got blink spots, monster always know where is it and heading to u.

thats why i only play Chakram when with a group of DH which using Chakram too.
then blind spots can be minimized.

it is fun, no monster can come near.
