Trying to figure out what 2 hand bows to buy because I want the 10% crit chance and the IAS... but i'm not good with these spreadsheets and I don't want to buy 2 of them and have them be worse. So if you guys could please help me and tell me what I would need for 2x hand bows to atleast amount to my Xbow...
This is the Xbow i'm using currently...
1011.2 Damage Per Second
1.15 Attacks Per Second
+15 Minimum Damage
+235-575 Holy Damage
IAS 5%
60% Critical Damage
Sorry, and my quiver isn't the greatest but it's....
You need to fill out a spread sheet. Everything depends on everything else, but in general, hand xbows need to be paired with very high crit damage to surpass xbows.

Your 1h are gonna need dex+crit dmg+open socket. Both of each to surpass a 2h xbow.
Although having +disc on 1h and lower damage could be "fun" as you'll likely to survive more. More disc = more gloom! Paired with Natalyza or Nightstalker Passive and you may never run out of disc!
Also generally speaking, try to seek a 2h xbow w/o IAS unless they bring your weapon DPS up to 1400-1500DPS range. Otherwise you may be doing less damage per hit cause your damage range is low, but you make up that dps difference by having more ias.
Ya well I found the Xbow when I was playing my Barb farming act 2 so I just kept it to use. Thanks. I'm keeping the Xbow just upgrading it since I didn't spend any money on it anyway. I'm at 54k dps with SS right now with that bow so I can easily boost it.

This is only true if we look at the theoretical best weapons we can get for each slot. The reality of the situation may be much different when comparing items that are actually available. Dex on the weapons will help, but I don't think it'd be necessary in this case.
For me, I have a 2h xbow with 1027 dps and 142 crit damage. My quiver has 153 dex, 15 ias, and 8.5 crit chance. My 1h xbows have about 780 dps and exactly 178 crit each. Despite the terrible dps on the 1h'ers, they are only about 3k dps less than the 2h xbow, not very substantial when I'm already pushing 70k dps. I find the increased reaction speed to be worth more to my gameplay.
Considering R_Y_N_O's xbow and quiver, it is probably feasible to find a dual wield set up that will offer more dps. They probably wouldn't even cost a whole lot, but a 2x xbow upgrade will probably be cheaper still.
