For my build im mostly spamming multi shot and generating hatred with bola shot, if i need single target dps ill use impale iinstead of multi shot. For survivability I use vault and smoke screen and they are helping alot. My last skill is prep runed to restore hatred so i can keep spamming impale or multi shot.
I've been having a really hard time lately, i seem to get one or two shotted my mobs. I think it has alot to do with my gear, I have around 4,000 hp pool, and around 1,000 dps, which i think is really low for my lvl. I dont have much gold only around 30k so i cant really buy stuff on the AH, where are some places i can farm good gear or should i try crafting?
Any tips or advices on my build or what I can improve on is very much appreciated
I use Smoke Screen, Caltrops, and Tactical Advantage.
Imo Tactical Advantage is better than vault, as I have control over where I go, and it doesn't waste a skill slot.
Smoke screen 3 seconds - best rune by far
Caltrops Torturous ground44

Your hp and damage is low. In act 3 I had 6k hp and 1100dps or with dps set 3k hp and 2300dps. once you break 6k hp things stop killing you in 1-2 hits.
Ok, your build is not that bad, but it could use some optimisation. Multishot is really good when you are facing large number of mobs, which are usually in this game low hp mobs which go down fast anyway with anything. I have yet to find really good use for multishot, and it was couple of times when I got engaged by large number of weak mobs (and even then I used rune for discipline regeneration)
Now, what you really need to do, is get Elemental arrow (frost arrow rune). Now that skill is awesome because it deals both good multi-target dmg, single target dmg, and a constant slow + it costs small amount of hatred. With that skill, you dont really need caltrops at all.
vault+smoke screen = big waste. You dont need vault when you are using smoke screen, if you do, you really need to get more skilled.
Regarding your hatred generator, you should only use Boa combined with the stun rune (lightining something), because it really helps when facing dangerous foes (it is situational, and I recommend it on higher difficulties). Usually, you would do much better dmg with Hungering arrow (cinder arrow rune).
Now, if you use preparation with punishment rune, you NEED TO GET night stalker PASSIVE, because it increases your discipline everytime you crit. If you do not use it you will simply discipline starve.

Feel free to change primary hatred generator with hunger arrow (cinder rune).
not true...
Bola shot has many viable runes. And the first lightning rune you unlock on elemental arrow is very effective on nightmare/hell. Vault+smokescreen is a bad combination thought, that is right.
How do you manage on hell with your build without shadow power - gloom?
Yes I agree on lightning rune, however, the projectile is really slow and it does not slow enemies, and since frost arrow does, it is a winner for me. Regarding bolas, dunno, I usually use the stun one, to help out with annoying elites + do some aoe. My main source dmg is coming from frost arrow. Well regarding the shadow power- gloom, first of all, I play with friends (they do some heavy tanking giving me space), second of all in tricky situations I simply use smoke screen.
The people that mentioned low HP and better gear are spot on. If you filter the auction house, you can easily add armor that's considerably better than what you probably have and cheap. Set the buyout amount low, maybe 5k or so. You can pick up 4 pieces of armor with + vit and + dex. Try and get the socketed ones.
Then go buy some square gems. Buy Emeralds and Amethysts. Use these in the armor pieces. For less than 30k, you should be able to bump your HP to over 7 or 8 and DPS as well.
