I just have to say wow about Bow VS Xbow


Bow is awesome...I didn't realize how slow and cumbersome xbow was until I switched back.


Windforce > manticore imho!

Yup. The attack speed and base damage make up for the amount of crit damage a manticore offers.

And Calamity > Windforce

Depends on the value of the calamity

My preference is Rare Revenant bow / Windforce for performance vs gold spent. Calamity is GFG but for one that competes you are looking at 1bil+ and I'd personally still choose a rare rev bow with almost perfect rolls. Manticore is godly too but you have to adjust your play style and prepare to hit and run.

It's really all preference though honestly, I built to survive and for actual DPS per second I can't match the rev bows.

Builds with Calamity + Dead Man's Legacy worth it? Got 200m budget, i've seen many ppl using this kinda of build...and i really like it! Did u know the benefits of it?

Insane attack speed, chance of getting a single target mark of death, and its got double crit. The problem is the lower end ones have crap damage ranges so you aren't going to hit very hard. I looked into the build and it gives good DPS and mobility, but I stuck with Revenant bows for certain things Calamity lacks like high end damage, life steal, and stats.

Definitely worth it if you can afford GFG ones and don't mind the trade offs.

meh, so i think...no chance to build one DH with similar build w/ 200m aight?

A Good Calamity (12xx - 13xx dam 8x-100 crit and socket) alone would be between 500m and 1+b.
Maybe Danettas with Good rolls (10xx dam, 8x-100 crit, 170-200dex +sock) could be a lower cost alternative with quiver. But I havent tested yet if a Bow or xBow in this price range is better or not.

I think im goin to grab an 11xx Calamity 80 ~ 100 crit and socket) and a cool dead man's...
but what gear should i try? New Nats? A rare one + 2 pieces from new nats for CC? (Cloack + Disc, Quiver + Disc)

dont know, new to DH's D:
