A3 mobs have a lot higher hp pool. With bows, they will do less damage and there is a bit of randomness to them (big range in min/max). So you may end up critting for 5k here, or critting for 200k. 2h xbow is slower but has (smaller) higher damage ranges, so you'll have more consistent damage. Example, my 2h xbow is (948-1396). Whereas your bow may be max of 1050-1150, but also has a min of like 300. Cluster Arrow can be a high damage ability but cost a truckload of hatred and with that randomness in bows, I would probably look for an alternate hatred spender. Although Caltrope+Cluster bombs are very effective, I think I count 6 or 7 of those? So effectively 1610% weapon damage if you land then all.
Try swapping out cluster arrow for frost arrow. What is the rest of your build like? Also, you are already using Scatter, are you also using Caltrope/Jagged rune? I find with these two abilities things blow up quick without even getting close to you.
I rely on heavy nuking to the Phasebeast off screen. With shielding, I can only deal half the damage to them since they are invuln temporarily, and with shielding, I do even less damage so I don't kill myself. So what would take 15 seconds to dispatch now takes 1-2mins of kiting. That's not assuming they catch up and start being too smart and teleporting all over the place.
Worst is teleporting Phasebeast with shielding and RD.
I find getting LOH on weapon, and some LOH in amulet/ring to be the most effective (about 1600 total). It helps if you have decent regen too (I'm at 500 regen). Especially if these pieces have vitality. I am about 25-30k HP for RD packs with about 45k DPS (omitting crit dmg on my weapon so I don't blow myself up). It takes a bit longer but I generally don't have any problems with RD packs, with a tank, I can just spam my hungering arrow. Cluster Arrow can still hurt me, but I usually SS when they land.
I agree. There is 15-16 pages of them. I hope prices stabilize. But I don't see that happening anytime soon. I am not dropping 60m on a badly rolled ring for my 4pc.
Thank you for your input. Feel free to buy those 1.5M boots with no dex on them. 60 DEX will cost you min 15-17m alone. These are well rolled high dex boots.
I do fine until one unlucky moment he teleports to me when I do not have enough discipline to ss. Any advice or links to good videos would be much appreciated. I easily kill every other boss and elite pack with my gear and feel I must just be missing something.
You can kite Diablo all day long. Just don't get near the crystal, crevices, and outside edges and he will NEVER teleport to you. You can kite him all day to regain your hatred, discipline, cooldowns before the next phase. Stay in between everything. Keep your distance. Phase 1 & 3 is the same fight with one additional ability.
I know you did not mention having any difficulties in phase 2 with shadow clones, but I would drop Caltrope for Raining Vengeance or Gloom. They spawn every 33% of his healthbar.
