Typo error but yeah if see ranking of bow, No.1 helltrappet is at 3005 dps if I'm not mistaken. Max stat

Total rama i got so far 9. After 2.10 i remember i was probably the only 1 in the clan with no rama. I farmed like crazy for it then rng decided to reward me with 1 finally. After that i kept getting 1 randomly and finally 9 in total. Eventually it will drop. Just a matter of when.

Yesterday gr41 RG dropped 2 lacunis... my jaw dropped. Then i rolled......tears came out my eyes. Insta salvage.... sigh.

Enforcer and trapped is pretty much a must have gem. The 3rd varies, toxin for group buff, pain enhancer if you're playing at a certain distance and build on physical, bane of powerful mostly ppl use on GRift for 15% elite bonus and also % buff to damage based on duration to allow quicker mob clearing.

GR43 glass cannon all the way. Didn't even bother with toughness. Only use 2 gems for party play. Amulet went 100% dps. 1 single tick from electrified hits 700k .. lol. Insta KO. This is future of DH. Glass cannon kaki

30+ grift yeah. Its pretty normal. I've gone through a few with no leg drops.

@fungling there's 2 reasons that might

1. Sentry bug. 1st is when you pop a sentry it doesn't fire at all
2. You run off screen it doesn't fire and when u come back it doesnt fire.

Both are known bugs and haven't been fixed. You just have to keep popping sentry till it refreshes the bugged onesmb

Tonight want to bounty for that GG helltrapper before it gets a nerf or SS gets the nerf hammer. Either way something is getting a nerf. Its vanilla d3 again. The days where everyone went perma SS with legacy Nats and nether tentacles then Blizz nerfed both of it to oblivion.

When you have 100% uptime with 0 damage taken, its broken and confirm nerf. This is not the 1st time DH had perma smoke screen. Vanilla D3 with the 1st Nat Set DH enabled perma SS and it was nerfed to the ground. Recent example was Crusaders indestructuble passive, made them immune too 100% damage when in critical condition making them immortal. This was also nerfed though not as bad as DH precious SS. BL reminds me of old nether tenticles which i suspect will get a fix too. Its obviously broken when you take 0 damage 100% of the time. Lets not kid ourselves. Its godmode haha

Gaby and nyan rank 49 and 46 were both using 1handers at 4.16. There is a video of them using BL build on respective GR levels. Albeit with a bit of god mode and if you watch gabyntors gear, its mediocre. He's not even using tri tnt.s. on top of that he had to use gogok to hit 4.15. The reason why there's more bow is because gearing 4.15, you need crazy gearing. Perfect 7 on all slots without losing too much toughness. On top of that you need a nicely rolled 1 hander. 2.85 is easy to achieve. Everyone can gear even with 40% 5AS Tnt. I never went 4.15 until i actually had proper gears. Its tough to achieve. Even till now, people are struggling to hit 4.15 because its so demanding and ended up with 2.85 bp.

im using it too. As a Dh ur playing range and at high grift ur mostly at the edge of the screen. This is where zei really shine as the further you are the bigger the buff. Up to 40% at 50 yards.

Gogok is mainly used to achieve 40+ cdr for perma SS. Although ppl say 35 is enough, taking into account ping and so on 42 above guarantees perma SS. Yeah, you could also achieve 4.15 with it which is a +. I don't see this build lasting for too long as im def certain perma SS will get a nerf. BL i can't do..... the lag.... is horrid. Also, I'm def certain they're using macro for smokescreen. Just look at the timing their spamming SS. It's perfect. You can't hit SS before because it will offset double cooldown if you do so it has to be perfect or a milisecond after hence why i suspect that they are cheating to go perma.

Yesh bro.. agreed. Killl or be killed. Hunt or be the hunted. U get my point laa....

I get mostly 46-47 with nat set setup at 4.15bp. Provided i don't die from winged assassins or elecrticuted by exarchs. I dont use awareness. Full dps passive.

Basic frost/fire build with spitfire turret and ballistic, steady aim, cull the week and ambush works for me. If u cantbdo 4.15bp with 1h don't bother. Just use bow etrayu or unbound bolt. Remember ur fightning trash mobs so no need for SOJ. Its all about paper dps

Good luck

whats ur TnT pet AS%? I did 38 with that setup. Definitely possible if u hit 4.15bp. Also, my TnT has no ChD with 49% pet AS

No point sacrifising too much to hit 4.15bp. You're better off at 2.85bp with a good crafted unbound bolt if you haven't got that GG etrayu. I never went 4.15bp until i had al the proper pcs. One thing that really kills the fun is when you get a perfect trifecta TnT only to find that it has 40% pet AS. I got that one.....

Can say bye bye to those Imba tnts and bye bye to m6 as well while you're at it. Btw, I'm sure self casting and active gameplay is fun. Wait till you hit RD or better yet lets see DH self cast at GR while youre being thundered frozen and jailed. Haha. Fun times

As far as i know from what i've read :

1. Your sentry will fire spenders only when you're self casting or else it will fire blank bolts instead.
2. It will have stock 2 charges and added another 2 with custom engineering just like monk dashing strike. Once you use them up you won't be able to cast after I'm quite sure for quite a while you'll run around like a chicken once CD is over and until you get your charge back.

Custom Engineering : Now also increases the maximum amount of Sentry Charges. (Datamined text says that it's increased "to 2", but that may be a typo and charges are increased "by 2", for a total of 4 Charges with the Passive)3.

3. NS willl pric 4 hatred and at the current rate only EA BL has the best proc rate and even so you'll be hatred starved

CA w/ 1.84 aps = 40x3/1.84 -4 ~= 61.2 Hatred/sec while firing
3x1.84 +4 ~= 9.52 Hatred/sec while not firing

This will still be a huge issue.

So the nerfs or changes if you'd like to call it is definitely not going the right way. This is not conclusion. Btw, on tip of that, DH are surviving by hiding in corners while sentries.does the job. I'd like to see DH pop in front of the door to self cast so that their sentry fires.

1 charge 1 sentry. Use them all up and there will be a long cooldown period before it starts to recharge all over again

You know whats funny. That no party wil be able to farn high grift keys and no party will be able to progress above 45 without DHs dps. GG
