I think the easiest way to go for the next breakpoint would be to go with a 2H bow. It is currently the most used weapon for DH imo, since it is easy to get the 2.84 breakpoint without having to stack as everywhere. Hitting that breakpoint is worth it for sure.
Currently, more and more people are evolving to the the lightning build, where you even go for the 4.15 breakpoint.
Only reason i think people would use a crossbow, is if they play in groups with a WD. As Shapookya pointed out, you need 33% more than you have now. Getting 20% from the WD (with starmetal=perma big bad voodoo), 7 from WH and a bit from paragon or lacuni's, they hit the breakpoint with this slow weapon=more damage output. For solo/non perma big bad voodoo, I personally would go for a bow (etrayu being best for cold build).
hi guy, i really appreciate the feedback, if i can't break the 2.84 point using crossbow at the moment, i can still keep the kreme set without changing to WH, steady striker, and using the 2.16 breakpoint to keep farmng for a etrayu. Is this setup ok ?
Any setup is good, as long as you are as close to your breakpoint as possible. Higher breakpoints will do a bit more damage (your attackspeed vs turret attackt speed: 2.16*1.16, 2.84*1.18, 4.15*1.2, so more is better), but most important is to be as close to your breakpoint as possible. Anything above it will show sheet dps (cause faster) but your effective damage does not increase.
So if you can't hit 2.84, go for 2.16, dropping attackspeed if needed for more useful stats.
