oup killed leoric on inferno, also almost never died to elites with my WD so i guess my current skill build is working.. so far. wanted to continue after that but my laptop auto shutdown due to the stress or something zz
Not sure how a DH is supposed to solo it, maybe I'm doing something wrong.
You need to kite everything, mainly using stuns. Don't bother gearing for survivability at all, just stack damage and +crit damage. Can't say whether IAS is worth it, you'll have to look at the forums and stuff. Just shoot stuff with devouring arrows, have EA with skulls for emergency CC if stuff is getting close. Use smoke screen as you normally would: to break roots, snares, avoid incoming damage, and turning mobs around. Use caltrops to stun and slow and have preparation with either chance to not trigger cooldown or the 45 disc over 15 seconds rune (I prefer the latter but both are good).
Just whittle shit down like that. Drop caltrops, run back, shoot a little, drop caltrops, run back, shoot a little etc etc...
I dunno what to do with the last skill slot yet. Some people (me included) are using RoV with the stampede run but I find it extremely unreliable for CC so there might be a better alternative, perhaps EA with tentacles for extra damage against bosses or perhaps shadow power with gloom for those pesky damage reflect dudes.
You need LOTS of DPS as a DH. I'm in act 3, progressing slowly. The biggest hurdle to overcome is damage, really. I shouldn't have wasted a mil on a decent weapon shortly after game launch, it's more beneficial to save up and then buy a 1200+ DPS bow.
the latter parts of act 3 are so much easier than act 2
what the hell blizzard
p.s. thanks to mina for loaning me a game at a specific point in act 3...
too bad i couldnt kill the boss because im bad so i might have to bother you for another one
Would a bow or a 2 hand crossbow be better? It seems like the damage range on a bow is like 5-15 and then on a bow it would be 7-10.
Yeah, bows have slightly more unreliable damage but with archery bow is probably the best DPS you'll find.
If you're gunning with sharpshooter, however, crossbows might be more favorable as the bonus crit damage modifier is really nice there. I prefer bows because they attack a bit faster, but the difference is minute so it doesn't matter much what you pick.
