that's the second time you told me to go read someone's guide. i've been reading those guides, and just wanted someone elses take on it.

thanks all for your suggestions. i stood up my gf and spent a few hours re-working my DH. heres what i have now:

i liked your suggestions - i know yall suggested i got rid of rapid fire, but i'm used to having a super fast wpn attack speed, and with this cross bow i needed something that shoots fast. i use shadow power and then rapid fire to regen health fast. caltrops is great, but i've been playing party games lately so the need for slowing down mobs isnt as vital when you find a good monk or barb to join up with. i did use the scoundrel - never knew he was that useful with his crit chance.

i'll try to use the focused mind eventually, but for now i like the battle scars as basically an extra health globe.

the updates in gear are just from a few hours of auction house searching last night...

i actually want to use the wolf companion in 1.05 as i think they are going to pretty viable.

any further suggestions?

what should i aim for with my health pool? how much attack speed should i look for with a X-Bow? is 1.10 / second the standard?

thanks again

hey - thanks for the advice all - so these are the skills i'm goin to be using goin forward:
1) hungering / devouring
2) elemental / ball lightning
A) smoke screen / lingering fog
b - preparation / backup plan
c)
d) impale / chemical burn
P1) sharp shooter
P2) archery
P3) steady aim

what should i use for my final slot? any suggestions?

awesome - thanks so much - this is exactly what i was looking for guys.

and i guess i should say face palm or whatever - i'm used to diablo 2 where rubies added vitality.

yea i know - i get that the simple answer is to get better stuff with more dex, crit, etc... but what's a cheap way to get a big boost in damage? is it just a better bow with crit hit damage? should i change skills around a bit?

so heres my question - what do you guys suggest to help fix my DH. her damage is crazy low, and i'm dying way too frequently. what types of gear should i be looking for? should i swap any of my skills around?

any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

so i've been farming act 1 inferno, and am starting to get into act 2. how do you all go through all the stuff you find? i feel like i'm spending way too much time going through each item, figuring out if i can use it (some things are obvious, like legendary and tombs), identifying it, then figuring out whether to salvage, sell, or put it on the AH.

is there like an easier way to do this? do you all not even bother looking at blue items or only glancing for certain things? any suggestions would be appreciated.

post edited to fix grammar. or something.

jesus it was a figure of speech. of course i'm not saying spending money on things you want makes you a bad person.

not to be a downer, but...

instead of spending money in the RMAH - maybe give this a look..

oh my bad - posted it in the wrong spot.

i'm thinking of making a summoner (dogs & gargantuan), along with locusts, and maybe haunt.

suggestions to fill in the gaps?

please dont flame or whatever you internet people do... but its been a long week (yea i know its tuesday)

example:

Changed from 25% weapon damage for 3 seconds to 240% weapon damage over 3 seconds.

what does this mean? i know its been explained and probably self evident. but being that english isnt my first language, does this mean that if something takes 240% wpn damage over 3 seconds that as soon as they get hit, they are guaranteed to take the full 240 damage even if they move out of the way? i.e., a fire pit thing...

ha no quantum mechanics here bro - just didnt want to mess up a drop by identifying it prematurely.

kk - so i might have misread something, but if i get a legendary item now, should i wait to identify it until after the patch? i thought i saw a CM saying that the stats were already assigned to items before identiying them... so what should i do?
