If I'm not mistake you're using 1 hander nat slayer right? With nats ring and rorg? The problem is higher grift RG or elites HP scales really high when you're moving up grifts and elite damage bonus starts to really matter. Hence why sojs or unity especially is a must have. For 36 onwards i use unity as it halfs my damage when its equipped to my follower. Jailer eats only a quarter of my HP so its easily fully healed by my templar immediately and with leg gem 25% + 15% from my unity i have 40% bonus dmg vs elite. Also single wield damage range is too small unless your hitting 4.15 BP. If you're hitting 8m-10m frost arrow with 1h crossbow at 2.85 bp and bows are doing 15-20m  at the same bp, you might want to consider switching. I think understanding sentry mechanics is highly important if you want to have optimal dmg. There's a lot of info on DH thread and videos to go through to see how effective they are. If you scored a good a good high dps bow, WF, uskang, cluckeye or whatever, use it. It makes a huge difference.

It's even better than that... you will WISH for arcane and jailer because they heal you

I silly tried a solo grift 37 and got tortured. Forgot to equip decently with unity and 14m toughness was not enough.

What's high grift build other than unity. Of all the affixes, jailer seems to be the most dangerous as it's hard to hide from it. Is Julia ammy a must?

Got another calamity yesterday with 7% dmg so rolled another stat to 7% ias so total dps increase only 2532 but good for 4.15 with me thinks. Funnily enough i join game with clanmate Jiro and he was complining he never got one b4 then few minutes later.... jeng jeng. Cala dropped. Must be my aura...... bwahahahaha

macam nothing special je... how long? 11 hour maint?

:x

Yes. The follower will have increase damage against elites.
In a way, the follower does contribute damage against elites.
Well, unless your follower doesn't contribute.  :lol:

No. The % of your followers will not add to your main char's % damage against elites.

should we switch from our ice build to lightning build now ? seeing that this dh is no.1 after beating GR 45 solo. ..

Erm, how many of our fellow DH think that they keep on getting Shadow set drop?

The same frustration when playing with Cruz and Wiz, where these 2 classes keep getting Invoker set.
