my xbow was cold damage but i found a upgrade its lightning now my crit without ss is only 15% i have 60k dps with ss and my crit damage is 207% should i change cull of the weak
Nothing easy. You just need to gradually get better gears, starting with getting your damage much higher. I suspect its the bow that's dragging it down for now. What its dps?
before you change your weapon, please check the DH dps calculator.
I find it tough to upgrade my cold damage weapon because it gives me almost about 6k more damage. that means for me to get a non cold weapon upgrade, the increase in my dps(minus cull of the weak which doesn't reflect on the DPS sheet) should be greater than 6k. 15% crit chance is too low honestly.. you can use caltrops and use the bait the trap rune to increase your crit chance. I suggest you farm act 1 until you get decent gear to use or sell to get more money and buy stuff in the AH. as for the build, spray of teeth is only useful when you get a lot of crit chance and 15% isn't enough.. for now, stick with elemental arrow(ball lightning rune) as your hatred spender. you could use shatter arrow instead of spray of teeth for hungring arrow.
personally my crit chance is 41, but i think around 30 should be okay. you can also use caltrops with bait the trap rune to increase your crit chance as you fight.
my skill build is like this
primary- HA with SOT rune - with crit chance at 40, HA is my hatred generator AND AoE.
secondary - cluster with cluster bombs - can also be used as AoE but primarily used against huge tough mobs/elites/bosses
1 - caltrops - torturous/hooked spikes( with 40 crit chance i don't really need bait the trap so i use it more defensively with increased slow or immobilize)
2 - smoke screen - necessary for dangerous situations and countering reflect damage packs
3 - prep with backup plan - more discipline for defensive skills
4 - companion-bat - i need this since my aspd isn't high with 2h xbows
i also use cull of the weak with my cold weapon. it's got 1k dps with 10 IAS and 70 crit. not that great but with cull of the weak, it's like i have the archery passive bonus of bows along with my 2hxbow 50% crit damage increase. don't be too obsessed with seeing the DPS number increase because if you use the DH spreadhseet you'll notice that your DPS with cull of the weak and cold weapon is really much higher than the value seen on screen.(be sure to tick the 'slowed' and 'cull of the weak' in the spread sheet)

I suggest you use steady aim + archery all the time
I see you're using cull of the weak, is that because you have a cold damage weapon? if you are, keep the cull of the weak
I think you should always have smoke screen and preparation
I'm curious to know what your crit chance is(minus the sharpshooter)
