Hoping to get some advice on builds/gear on about a 5m budget.  I recently cashed in my fgz and got Nats/andys/dead mans. 

Right now I farm MP1 A3 but would like to be able to get to 3-5 soon.

edit  - I know I need new ring/ammy .....but prices are totally wack for even a slight upgrade from mine

edit #2 class is really boring and I was wondering if getting a rare bow with +Holy Dmg and Inna's belt would be a worthwhile combo?



Your bow/quiver/jewelry are where I would look to upgrade. Dead man's biggest selling point is 20% IAS possible, 10 CC, and bonus damage to skills. Manticore is so overrated its not even funny, a solid rev bow would easily do better for you with base crit + socket and some decent dps. Inna's works on any kind of bow it just adds 7-8% damage to your base min/max. You would want to rock 2 piece inna's for the 130 dex bonus though.

I would go for a faster bow, better ASI/CC dead mans, rings/ammy with crit chance/damage/dex on them, and if you can eventually afford a nice inna's belt/pants go for it. This of course is probably out of your budget at the moment.

The class is one of the only classes that almost all skills are viable if built properly, either you don't like ranged or you haven't dabbled enough with everything :D

Was looking for your opinion on the best things to upgrade for a nice DPS increase (without spending an arm and a leg, lets say under 40m)? I recently upgraded to innas pants/belt and mempto, it was a was a nice dps boost. I was thinking of getting a dead man quiver with decent IAS and CC or upgrading my ammy. One thing that is important to me is I try to keep as much discipline as possible (I have +29 with all my current items).

What's this rev bow you keep talking about?

I've been using manticore, but I kinda miss my old windforce...

I was under the impression that 2h-xbow > anything else

Edit:

Mind if you take a look? http://us.battle.net/d3/en/profile/ShipSoo-1233/hero/6805587

Looking for comments about skills mostly.Or a different bow/xbow choice

I liked 2 x 1H xbow when I was leveling...how does calamity and something else do ?

http://www.diabloprogress.com/hero/silly-2449/Sylvanas/4576539 - I have a really crappy Nat's Reflection in place of ring1 (31max/87dex/9ias/179armor/211regen) but my bnet profile doesn't seem to want to update.

I'm pretty poor so I don't have much to work with - I got a Calamity drop that sold for 30m after AH cut this morning and am looking to upgrade my DH with it. My first instinct was to spend most of it on an upgraded Manti, but I'm not sure if I'd benefit from buying a cheaper one (or even a different bow entirely?) and upgrading elsewhere. I'm currently farming mp4 and would like to improve on that if it's at all possible with the lack of money I have to spend.

This is my current build and I like it but I feel I need better items.

I lack Crit % and Crit Dmg.

What build should I use for the gear I have on now?

Well the whole what is best as far as bows are concerned is EASY if you look at just stat sheet dps, but its much deeper than that in actual game play.

Check this link for useful information http://us.battle.net/d3/en/forum/topic/5149013044

It's such a long conversation over what is best, and it is also dictated by your survivability and other gear. Calamity is best used with a dead man's 99% of the time because the possible 320 dex/vit and extra 5% ASI is very hard to make up not to mention the bonus damage to skills. I prefer revenant bow based items like the Windforce because they offer a nice damage range, mid range attack speed, and better bonuses from archery.

For all builds you need to get to a point where you ditch sharpshooter which is roughly 42-48% crit chance. You also want to get your attack speed to 2.0 or higher if possible, to generate a good amount of hatred and to avoid being ham-stringed by a couple non crits in a row. Building that with Survivability is the expensive part as DPS doesn't come cheap when you want All-res, armor, and life with it. Keep in mind Discipline is only available on cloaks, quivers, and 1 handed xbows so plan on getting it there before you go spending if you need it. You also can only get % life on shoulders, belt, quivers, chest armor, and possibly jewelry (better to not get it there). 24% movespeed is almost required for a DH to function properly and not feel slow, so plan on getting a second 12% piece if you got it on your boots. Res is also something that can be overdone, as the diminishing returns start kicking in rather early. You are often better off getting 400-500 res then stack vit/life % as it doesn't suffer from diminishing returns.

I will try to look into each individual gear sets but generally speaking I would stop spending money up front, and plan a bit. If you just buy incremental upgrades you will be broke constantly. I wouldn't buy anything that doesn't offer a significant increase unless you are at complete end game and its all that you can get.

Hi,

what do you think would be the next - useful - Damagepush without sacrificing too much hp/resis?

Hello,

I'm looking to boost my damage near the 190-200k range while not losing too much EHP. Once a few items sell on the AH, I plan to buy a witching hour (just using that junk belt for now). The other quite obvious upgrades would be my rings (my oh ring especially). What other suggestions can you give me to reach my goal?

http://us.battle.net/d3/en/profile/ShawnD-1936/hero/4719316

2 piece nats would really boost me but I don't think it's worth it if I don't have 2/3 trifecta on the ring?

Hey,

I'm looking for my next upgrade, most of my items are handmedowns from my buddy, but now that I've managed to get together 100mill gold. I know I can only afford maybe one upgrade, so which slot should I be looking at?

http://us.battle.net/d3/en/profile/Exordium-1227/hero/10848275

Also I have no clue what I am doing regarding skills. Just copying my friend, except for evasive fire as my hatred generator.

Thanks in advance.
