Hi there freshly dinged DH here, have bought all gear aside from a weapon at this stage current stats without including weapon are;
1245 dex
83% crit hit damage
5% crit chance
92% att spd from gear
I have been looking into weapons however haven't had much luck finding information on what to look for as a fresh DH.
I see there are ~1150 dps xbows in my price range without any other stats vs dropping down to ~970dps with sockets or even further ~930dps with 80%+ crit damage.
I just have no idea which would infact turn out better. Any help would be appreciated.
Use one of the many DPS spreadsheets to calculate which bow to buy. It's the only way to know for sure which is the bigger upgrade for you. As a point of camparison, however, I can tell you that a 900 DPS bow with 100+ Dex and 50%+ crit damage is probably going to be a better bet than a ~1050 DPS bow with no stats. So your intuition is correct, but you really need a spreadsheet to give you the answer you seek.
i just dinged 60 yesterday, but my budget wasn't much so i bought a 950dps 2hand xbow with 54% crit damage for 200k. If your going to be spending alot more then that i'd probably check the spreadsheet based on what you already have.
Because of the damage modifiers that DH's have along with SS. a high dps weapon with no stats doesn't always equal higher damage. A lower dps weapon with high dex, attack speed, and crit damage/socket could equal out to more damage.
