I know theres tons of different guides around of what people claim is the "best" or "fastest" way to farm paragon exp or legendaries in low MP levels like 0-1. But obviously those guides are build according to their gear and what abilities they are using. I also saw a thread on the official forums debating the use of Windforce vs Manticore. Several responses actually favored either the Windforce or even a 1 Hander for speed farming low MP levels because of their higher attack speeds. Is there any truth behind that? I can only access this website for some reason so cant log onto officials to post my profile but I was wondering if their is some truth behind using a faster weapon for lower MP levels.
I know you get more crit from the Manticore because of the 50% from passive and also natural crit chance and double sockets. But the Windforce gives you more hatred regen and also some lifesteal which will help with reflect mobs in case you might be too low on Discipline to pop Shadow Power. But is the passive extra damage bonus from using a bow any good? Like I said I cant post my profile but I know my crit chance is 51% using scoundrel and my crit damage is 310%. Also I have 36% attack speed from my bow, quiver, and inna's legs along with 7 hatred regen using bat and also 24% movement speed. Would using something like Strafe or Multishot be my best bet for MP0-1 farming? I just dont like elemental arrow because its just so damn slow. Also would I be better off using bola or hungering with spray for my primary? I heard spray gets better with a very high crit and 50% seems pretty high to me. Also on low MPs I dont see myself using my hatred generator that often especially since I have hatred regen on 3 items plus Bat.
TLDR: For my setup with 51% crit, 310% CD, 36% IAS, and 7 hatred regen what would be my best skill setup for farming ACT 3 set to MP0-1 and using a Windfury? Im still fairly new to DHs and dont really know what to do just yet as I only hit 60 last night.
hey now attack speed is pro for low mp faster animations = faster you 1 shot mobs and for hungers i guess its faster going from shooting to vaulting to next mob or what not xD
OK so if I switch back to a X-Bow can is it still faster to use something like Multishot? I just hate elemental arrow:ball lightning its just too slow for my tastes.
I can attest that Multishot rapes mobs in lower MP's. It goes through almost all environment objects (like doors and even some walls), and has a huge kill range. Combine it with some extra crit from DH gear, and it is highly effective, spammable, and instant hit, so it's fast. Sometimes, it even seems to hit multiple times on the same mob if they are very close (can't confirm, but seems to have occasional HUGE dmg spikes).
Manticore, not a question (good dps rare can work too). I was a windforce guy until recently, and loved the extra hatred, but not worth the dps drop.
Been leveling up with MS ever since I got Fire at will and loved it. But what DPS do you need to just walk around and 1 shot trash on MP0? Havent made it to Act 3 yet but im sitting on 51% crit chance and 420% crit damage with my X-Bow. Also my DPS is around 115k. My x-bow doesnt have the best DPS in the world but I wasnt going to pass up a Manticore with 194 dex, 122 vit and 3% lifesteal that someome posted for only 2 mil. Sure its only got 1100 DPS but I think I got a pretty good deal and I couldnt have afforded a 1200 DPS double socketed one anyways. I could have got one with 100 more DPS with my budget but I think the extra vit and LS is worth a lot more than 100 DPS. I have +125 total avg damage on my rings and ammy anyways so I guess I made up that 100 DPS difference anyways.

with these stats, on mp0-1 you can do a really efficient strafe build and just plow through things like a WW barb..
Only thing missing is your dps.. but with those stats, I assume its pretty decent
Try this one out, the evasive fire rips up trash and rapid fire destroys packs. Plus you can use an evasive fire chest and a rapid fire quiver. If enemies get in your face you can just rapid fire them so you don't go on a backflipping spree, the night staker is more so you can move around quickly and still be ready for fights, I honesty try not to use backflip often, unless i feel it's the best option for a situation.
Edit: I actually like archery over steady aim. Just realized i am tanking a bit more than i remembered on packs.
Edit: the rapid fire quiver is also a good investment if you are running a tryhard type ubers build (entangling shot: justice is served with rapid fire spam)

tldr; yes on Multishot and xbow.
