Hmm, it seems that you are stuck because you should be with a 50m budget man. I don't think you will make significant upgrades under at least 80-100m.

You could definitely upgrade your Manticore to a one socket high dps dex one. However, since it seems you like to run Ball of Lightning so I recommend you start to save up and look for a calamity, will do wonders for that build. Either route you go, you should be able to find a decent upgrade with 100-150m.

Also, upgrading EHP and keeping same DPS would be considered good upgrades for your Pants and Belt, but you will still need more money. I suggest you give up some defense on your gloves and get some that will give you as much dps as you can afford. Make up the defensive stats with your Belt+Pants+Bracers because it is still quite easy to find great dps WITH defensive stats on those pieces for relatively cheap. DML is a good place to make up stats as well but the skill sometimes really affects the price, if you go something like multi shot you can get some 250+/250+/20/10s for good prices.

Basically, at this point, to make everything more economical, I suggest you give up getting defensive stats on Gloves+Jewlery because you can maximize the DPS that way. Make up defensive elsewhere since the DPS limits are much lower than on Gloves and Jewlery, of course if you CAN get some high DPS with a tad bit of EHP go ahead

You are very well on the right track though man, you are hitting all the bench mark points that I mentioned in previous posts -- Now its time to maintain those stats and optimize for more DPS.

Hope this helps man!

Hey guys,

My buddy has a Demon Hunter http://us.battle.net/d3/en/profile/DryBalls-1708/hero/1322341

I want to help him out by spending around 25-30 on an upgrade or upgrades for him, since he doesn't seem to get any good drops.. and has awful luck.

I don't know anything about Demon Hunters and I'm looking for some guidance! Thanks for your help.

inna's belt with ar should use up all 30m

when u search inna's belt, put in max buyout price 30m with ar in the search fields, ah should list ones with highest ar for 30m or less

buy one with 8% holy and a good balance of dex and ar

I want to ensure that there isn't a huge loss in vit. We're trying to ready him for pvp. I probably have a witching hour I can give him too ( didn't think of it due to low res )

Also, the only one for 30m has 40 ar 99 dex and 7% or 38 /8%

They seem to add 3.5k dps , lose 6k life and lose 0.3 protection

After looking for a bit, I can probably get an innas chest + nat ring on the cheap for 30m and gain a little hp, 2.5k dps and 0.2 prot.

when u link items i dont think it counts the set bonus of 130 dex, which is huge

if ur gonna pvp, without legacy nats ur gonna need +disc, all dh's are gonna have the same strategy, non-stop smokescreen, if u run out of disc, well then hope u can kill other guy before that happens

Ah, forgot about that ( set bonus ).

Yeah, I can definitely see that cheese strat working at first in the 1v1s, but like the dog builds for WD, it'll probably be nerfed after pvp is out for a while.

Anyway, thanks for your input! I'll see what he says! ( suggesting legacy nats too )

hey there, i need some tips how to upgrade my dh, i tried to get some as items and wanted to buy a
2sock manticore next, but im not sure if thats the right way.. i tested with a xbow and the as still semm to be
to slow.

my aim is a high dps dh who can farm mp5+ fast (i know vit+ @res is pretty low, but i wanna increase dmg first)

Would you recommend build/gear for 4m (EU server) to beat MP1-2. I can kite well but still want to be able to take more than 2 hits. I was thinking of the classic demon hunter build and not grenades..
