Diablo® III

Ok, after 30 minutes of frustration playing on 1.0.3 with the same build of the last patch (Yeah but with 0.40 attack speed less, 7k less damage without sharpshooter, nether tentacles nerfed and the mobs still oneshot me) I think i finally found somehting good..
As you all know Nether Tentacles now are a useless skill so I think I'll stuck on one of these new builds without elemental arrow.

Build one - Impale w/ SS (The revaluation of Nether Tentacles build):

I'm still not sure about two things:

- The rune used with Impale. Overpenetration it's good but I'll give a try to Grievous Wounds wich is much better in boss fights.
- Switching from 2hBow to 2hXbow to change Archery skill with something else like Tactical Advantage, Perfectionist or Vengance.

Build two - Bombs and Traps (Less tested but it could be good after this patch):

This one is still experimental but I think that will work fine in a group with a tank.

Let me know what you think, every critic is welcome.

EDIT:
Build Three - Twin Chakrams (Basically same build of 1.0.2 but with Chakram instead of Tentacles)

Working great!

bump.

+I don't get you stucking on Elemental Arrow, now frost. Chakrams and Impale are way better. The first for lot of mobs, the second for boss fights.

Hungering + impale 100% crit is not a viable build for packs I think. I believe you'll have to take either grievous wound or bola shot.

Why not? It's working well.. I don't get it

I find it very slow. Hungering arrow has an extremely weak area dps, but if you say it works, all the better ^^ What is your dps if I may ask (without SS)?

he has HA with spray of teeth, which turns HA into a decent aoe ability combined with high crit or sharpshooter

yeah, that's how it works

earlier tried thunder and lightning (bola w/thunder, elem w/ ball lightning) bola shot kinda slow for me.

switched to Entangling with bounty hunter Life regen purposes, with elem Ball Lightning for mass AoE and stunning effect, works better for me.

using Some Life Regen Chest Piece, and 900 Life on Hit Xbow, reflects aren't much a problem.

50k damage w/o SShooter (don't really use it) 34.5 crit change, 200 damage. 25k hp. fun in Act 3. just don't over pull too many mobs.

You've some really intresting stats man.. Sent you a friend request.

Hello all,
my stats are: 47k dps pre SS (i use SS / Archey / Stedy aim), 26% crit chance, 298% crit hit dmg, 29k HP, 50 or less all resists ;P.

Im using hungering arrow + PA (50% pierce chance) and impale + overpenetration , its working pretty whell, but i will try HA + Spray of teath and Impale + Grevious wound seems good to crazy burst with 400% crit hit dmg ;P.

Im cleaning act 3 and 4 pretty easly, some deaths fom chargers and from reflect mobs when i dont notice in time lol SS + impale overpenetration not good for your health ^^, after i see thyn are reflect its easy, SS and 3 hits repeate 2-4 times and collect your rares hehe

Good to see that DH still kicking... in the right hands lol

Nice build Hells, like it! :)
