Ok so I am bored this morning and i found a handbow with like 500+ something loh. I don't recall seeing anyone post about using bombs unless its with a huge crit damage setup. So this morning I switched all my monks gear to test it out. This is what I wanted my Dh to do when the game first came out but inferno in the later acts it was almost impossible. However I am now able to at least farm a1 with this setup.
So I cant post links yet.. sorry for the list of skills.
Bombs+cluster bombs, lots of hits for lots of loh
Cluster Arrow+Cluster Bombs with the passives I can get 4 cluster shots of and do a incredible amount of damage. With grenadier passive, my hatred comes back super fast also.
Smokescreen+lingering fog allows me to use it if i get in trouble and get some life back while not taking damage
Companion+bat rune which is a must to get up hatred for cluster bombs
Preperation+battle scars for a much needed heal.
Shadowpower+bloodmoon for a better chance of getting life back
So what do you think I could add or do to make it better? Like I said I havent seen much out there besides the ranged builds so I thought it be cool to give bombs a try again. I love the bombs!
You can not think of this as a ranged DH. My ranged build is at 87k dps. I had to redo gear for survival, not pump out the highest numbers I can. Telling me to get more damage is not a well thought out way. I am looking for responses of,"HOW can I make this better". Any class needs more dps..

Get more damage as you have dmg of a DH that just hit 60 ....
I beat Inferno Diablo with about that much dps and LoH with some more resists and 50k hp. Took a long time, but I tanked him using a grenade build with cluster arrows/dazzling, gas grenades, prep/heal rune, caltrops/jagged, sentry/guardian and chakram cloud (numbing, custom engineering and nightstalker were passives)
I'm not even very good at avoiding his things and I still got him down using that build and dps, so it's possible. Only things I had issues with were the act 4 elites unless they were melee packs without the more annoying affixes for the build (sentry, fire chains, nightmarish). The ranged ones suuuccckkkkk with that build unless they're easy affixes anyway. Most things were tankable with 5 caltrops down, cloud up and guardian up (other than sentries and fire chains all up on your face). But Act 1 & 2 are pretty much faceroll with it. I was falling asleep at the keyboard doing an act 2 run the other night and still couldn't die.
Caltrops with Jagged Spikes is probably the biggest LoH contributor, followed by Gas Grenades. Of course only if you can face tank the mobs and don't have to kite them around.
this. Yes. When you have the appropriate defenses, you can face tank most melee mobs (affixes depending) with guardian, 5 caltrops down, cloud and nade spam. The ranged mobs are where it gets obnoxious. I tell you, doing act 3 and 4 with vortex/arcane sentry succubi pissed me off a lot with the build I listed.
