I do. I also use Cluster Arrow and bear rune as a high dmg dealer, inspite of the high hatred cost. But I realised my dh build is only good for act 1 and beginning act2 inferno.

I think about switching to a more tanky build, since I lack res atm

what is the ideal hp, dps, and average res for a dh in inferno?

dafuq did i just read

just broke my bank with a 1.5M bow
Cold dmg
954dps
181dex
11IAS!!! and then u tell me that w/o any IAS it would be more effective, WTF!?

For the damages posted per inferno pack, I take it that's for soloing not public

solo or duo

hey wanna make a dh with a budget of about 60kk igg. what items would u recommend for meh ? should i go for rares or mby try to get natalyas set ?
will be teaming up with a tanking monk so thought about glasscannon but some survivability would be apriciated

DPS is given by dmg * APS... so it's normal that if APS is higher dmg will be lower (given the same DPS result...)

its that 60 mil?

i meant to say act

Since he mentioned Nat's set, I'd imagine so.

Don't go after Nat's set. A half decent Nat's ring will cost you 30-100m. You can get the chest, helm, and boots though for 5-15m typically though.

Your best bet, if you want to clear inferno solo, is honestly to go a tank DH setup. Gear yourself with dex, vit, all res, phys res, crit %, and crit dam, LoH, and find IAS where you can. You can run DW 1h, bow, or 1h/shield, varying on how you feel about them. I'd shy away from Crossbows due to their slow speed, but I've seen them put to use and clear A4.

My DH currently runs around with ~45k dps (no sharpshooter), ~950 phys res, ~600/650 all res, 50k health, ~1400 LoH, 6k armor (with enchantress, I use scoundrel with a chance to chill bow and heavy ias too), 60 disc (2x 1h xbow or quiver, cloak) and no nat's set (which would be a huge improvement) and can handily face tank most elites/champs in A3/4 inferno with the following setup: http://us.battle.net/d3/en/calculator/demon-hunter#UeYgVS!XeU!ccbYcc

The passives can easily be changed to fit your needs, and spike trap could be altered to something like FoK > Retaliate which does an awesome amount of damage.

The max possible gear can do 960 all res, 1680 phys res, 9.5k armor, 3.5k LoH, low/mid 60s crit, >400% crit dam, ~100k dps, etc. but not necessarily all of that at the same time due to limited affixes and affixes being unavailable on different setups (2x 1h, 1h/shield, 1h or 2h/quiver, etc.)
