The problem I see is mobile ranged mobs. You have to be in melee to use two of your best loh generators. Can u show us tanking 3 act 3 spear throwers or detail how you deal with them.

yea this really isn't going to be the class for you bro.

melee wizards can tank stuff that demon hunters can only dream of with half the gear cost needed to do it.

Possibly a PVP arena?

Supply and Demand will always work itself out. Gold will continue to inflate but at some magical point the 15% of all auctions and other gold removal systems will equal the amount of gold being created on the server and infaltion will stabilize at that point. This may not be for a while but its pretty much guaranteed to happen. Is it frustrating? Yep. My advice is don't sit on your gold, invest it properly and get a nice return as it will be going down in value. Figuring out how to do that is the hard part.

Very interesting and different. I haven't looked at rapid fire since I finished normal mode on night 1. So does it not work with LOH at all? And also is it possible to use the prep rune that returns hatred while continuing to channel? Would that be worth even swapping in if provided endless hatred spending through nightstalker?

Cool ideas sir.

I found the chest and a buddy found the helm, Chest had great rolls helm not so much but it works. I bought decent boots for about 6 mil after selling a nice item and finished the set with a 10disc hatred regen nats bow that was only 500k.

Then I bought a 930 hatred regen open socket with 100 vitality for a good deal.

Unless you find it the ring is not really worth it for the majority of people.

I do 30k dps now which is less than my crossbow setup, significantly in fact. But i love the playstyle alot more.

I am also now able to farm all the way through act 2 easily which was debilitatingly frustrating with any other setup before.

Running into reflect damage packs and one shotting yourself with crossbow first shot with 30k hp is fail and not being able to kite those fast guys cuz you get disc starved I had just had enough.

Now i just run caltrops with damage and switch to a life on hit one hander I have and its easy mode when I run into both of them. I can trap and kite endlessly.

At the end of the day it all comes to personal preference and build anyway. I have used all 3 with different builds focused on different things with sucess. For example, most DHs aren't going to tank with a crossbow or use it in a LOH built. Most DHs are also not going to use a 1H Xbow for a cluster nuke build.

I would argue that there is not one weapon type that is right for everyone so when people post these debates it really is completely situational and there is no mathematical rhyme or rythym to it.

First and for most, you pick a weapon type for the build you want to play. After that just use the DPS calculator.

Your crit chance and damage seem to support a 1 hand or bow set up pretty well. Just do what lucidity advised and also keep in mind you'll have to sustain longer because you won't have as much burst. That means you may need more disc than you did before or may need to change up some skills. Good luck. I went 4pc nats with the xbow as my offhand. Its alot less damage but the disc regen is insane. Probably would be to much of a drop in dps for you though. Im just farming act1 and 2 til I can get the ring.

I think this build has alot of shine in act1, and for very good reasons like you have mentioned. But after act 1 all of those slow walking melee guys sort of disappear and thats when Impale becomes significantly less usefull with this rune. You find yourself surrounded by ranged that try to not stack up.

This is a very solid build for someone farming act 1 or progressing through for the first time. The bola works great with the 80% slow.

You might try dropping sharpshooter for cull of the weak if you go with a cheaper penetrator like chakram or elemental in the future to progress. You'll want 30+ crit chance if you do though or it might feel weak.

The other option is going with the burst build with sharpshooter and using impale or cluster arrow, and fan of knives for some brutal combos. Its fun on everything except reflect, you gotta be careful as heck. Smoke in or possible rain of vengeance to keep them off you as a filler.

I didn't like not having a hatred spender so I dropped turret and went to awareness rune for impale and although I havent used gas grenade I have tried stun grenades in the past and fund them extremely hard to use. So I would also suggest trying cinder arrow. It applies a dot that appears to stack but I may be wrong but it allows you to deal with ranged mobs a whole lot better. I was switching between that and spray of teeth because my crit is almost 50% with a one hander and archery. I'd also like to point out that with high crit alot of these tank builds become easier because of the passive disc regen on crit. It really is amazing synergy with fast hit builds like these.

I've tanked just about everything in act 1 with this combo with about 700 loh, 35k hp, minimal resists and 15k dps.

I was not able to make it work in Act3 with my gear. Either not enough mitigation or life steal. Could be fixed with gear.
