yea i know - i get that the simple answer is to get better stuff with more dex, crit, etc... but what's a cheap way to get a big boost in damage? is it just a better bow with crit hit damage? should i change skills around a bit?

About your skills:
Hungering arrow - spray of teeth. You dont have alot of critchance as it seems, so spray of teeth is fairly useless. Replace with devouring arrow.
Preparation - battle scars. Not a big fan of that rune. Prefer backup plan or focused mind.
Smoke screen - displacement. Lingering fog rune is just alot better. (imo)
Rapid fire - just a terrible skill, especially with 1h couz it drains your hatred VERY fast. If you're dying alot try replacing it with caltrops - torturous ground. Might help you kiting.
Passives - vengeance is bad without pickup radius, replace it with tactical advantage at least (it will also help you with kiting and a good replacement for Smoke screen - displacement rune)
Gear: First of all you got str gem in pants - wut?
You should be able to farm act1 with that gear without a problem. If you want to go for act3 pretty much all your gear needs replacing. Start with weapon, 2handers are alot better in general, for 1handers to be viable you need alot more gear than that. If you like fast attack speed go for bow with socket and 1k+dps, if you prefer higher numbers with lower speed - 2handed crossbows.
Hope that helps abit. You might want to read some guides, there are alot on these forums aswell.

i liked your suggestions - i know yall suggested i got rid of rapid fire, but i'm used to having a super fast wpn attack speed, and with this cross bow i needed something that shoots fast. i use shadow power and then rapid fire to regen health fast. caltrops is great, but i've been playing party games lately so the need for slowing down mobs isnt as vital when you find a good monk or barb to join up with. i did use the scoundrel - never knew he was that useful with his crit chance.
i'll try to use the focused mind eventually, but for now i like the battle scars as basically an extra health globe.
the updates in gear are just from a few hours of auction house searching last night...
i actually want to use the wolf companion in 1.05 as i think they are going to pretty viable.
any further suggestions?
what should i aim for with my health pool? how much attack speed should i look for with a X-Bow? is 1.10 / second the standard?
thanks again

that's the second time you told me to go read someone's guide. i've been reading those guides, and just wanted someone elses take on it.

all good bro - i'm just used to ppl being jerks on the forums. i'm on NA server - but thanks for the offer.
i do think i know my class, and played it tons, just hit a wall with certain things. a lot of the guides i've read arent geared to a specific persons playstyle or current gear. for example, i tried the impale - chemical burn thing that was suggested, but kept dying by reflect mobs. and i also tried the 'bowling ball' build that's soon to be obselete, but kept gettin pwned anyway.
if you cant ask someones opinion about a DH build, on a D3 fansite's demon hunter section - what is it here for anyway.
and i'm not forcin anyone to respond anyway

oh good point bro - thanks a lot. i'm really focusing on leveling up my characters as fast as possible. it seems that every patch changes builds and the economy so much, the only thing that doesnt change is your character levels.

You really lack Disc. All this discussion about which Hatred spender to use and which rune adds the most to it, is totally secondary if you ask me. The primary thing about being a DH is managing Disc. Whether it is tanking mobs via Gloom or breaking CC with SS or gaining distance on mobs through Caltrops/Vault, these skills are required to even use your actual dps skills(Hatred builders/spenders).
so, long term goal: 4pc Legacy Nats.
short term: Abuse the fact that everyone is aiming for that and DML quiver to get yourself a rare cloak and a rare quiver with +9-10 Disc each. That + Preparation: Backup plan would be the most dramatic change in gameplay judging from your profile as of now.
so heres my question - what do you guys suggest to help fix my DH. her damage is crazy low, and i'm dying way too frequently. what types of gear should i be looking for? should i swap any of my skills around?
