Nice bow for your follower though! However, I use a templar. Fun fact: I let my buddy try a 990 dps xbow w/ 291 dex I found on his Scoundrel and it went up to 7000 damage. I wonder if you can potentially get a follower up to 10,000 damage and if it would then be worth swapping to a damage companion for more DPS?
gonna try it tonight then but lots of people talking about impales 250% weapon dam. anyone try this last night? or today.
I switched to BL for the AoE. Further, I dropped vault and took Impale+Wounds for my Nuke. Yes, DH's are now a 3 button class imo ... a Generator, an AoE, and a Nuke.
Was thinking of trying something exactly like that out tonight.
I also want to try Multishot. Last time I used it was leveling in normal so maybe it's not as awesome as I remember. I'm just hoping my gear is good enough for Gloom to fully replace Smoke Screen. I don't think I can live without Vault. Smoke Screen and Gloom are just two different buttons for the same things so I really need to just pick one.
with the bleed ruin it doesnt give a CD? i thought i tried it, and hated the CD, maybe im losing it??
Losing it. I tried Grievous Wounds rune, and while I was laughing at the huge crits I was not able to kill the mobs fast enough since I hadn't picked up a good AoE. I also tried Overpenetration, and will probably give that one another shot. It's a little more viable solo since you can line the mobs up and you don't have to worry about them following a party member. If I could get enough LoH to drop Gloom from my build, or live without Vault I could use Impale for elites/bosses and keep Multi/Ball Lightning for AoE.
Your damage looks fine, but she's probably referring to your HP/Resists/Armor. I have a little more damage than you (59k/138k), but also have 34 HP, 3k armor, and 200 resists and it makes a decent difference now. For example, with your gear before I could easily farm act 3, but now in your gear I would probably chain wipe to Cydaea. A socketed helm goes a long way, and making sure each piece of armor has a bit of vitality as well.

It also costs 25 hatred per Impale, and may require you to pick up another offensive ability for AoE depending on how large the packs in your act are and if Hungering/Impale can kill them all (or whatever your Hatred generator is).
I'm still using it since it cuts through invulnerable minions and hits the target behind them.
actually thats y frost arrow is pretty viable becuasue it cuts thru multiple minions - i ran into an invunrable champ pack last night and didnt break a sweat. didnt die, killed the pack in about 30 secs 82k dps post nerf w/ ss
Ball Lightning goes through things as well, and helped me kill multiple invulnerable minion packs last night.
This, a million times this. I couldn't believe it hadn't been mentioned sooner. This is such a great and versatile ability. When you use Smoke Screen against reflects damage you have to time it for when your projectiles will hit the target, and if they are in a long line you can still end up hurting/killing yourself. With SP-Gloom you pop it and fire until it fades. Since it lasts twice as long as Smoke Screen for the same discipline cost you are doubling your dps time on the elites. Gloom also reduces the damage you take by 65% for 3 seconds which came in handy during the spider phase on Cydaea (was getting 1 shot w/o gloom up and SS was too short for the phase). Also, I'm getting 1 shot a lot less now which means it comes in handy for healing back up. You can also use it to facetank things in acts 1 and 2 (and some in act 3). Great ability you should all try out for at least one playthrough.
Honestly, I'd love to buy a new weapon, but they are still overpriced for the damage that I would gain. I'm not dropping 50 million gold for 3000 damage. Sorry, not happening. I can still clear the game with my current weapon (1050 xbow 100+DEX w/ socket) so I can afford to wait for the prices to drop. You know, unless one of you fine gents has a 1200+ socket xbow/bow on the cheap.
I replaced it with Ball Lightning and was able to still clear all of Act 3. Going to try messing around with Impale maybe, but I like the lack of aiming required for Ball Lightning.
My question is simple. Lets say I have 1000 life on hit. If I use Locust Swarm, will it give me 1000 LoH for the first mob it hits ONLY.........or will it give me 1000 LoH for every mob it chains to?
Locust Swarm - 33% per target, same as haunt. Each time it spreads it will hit, but no bonus from the DOT. Pestilence - 33% Devouring Swarm Cloud of Insects Diseased Swarm Searing Locusts - 33%
