What does ToC have to do with your defensive stats? ToC allows you to live through damage without gimping your DPS. With around 300 AR and 30k HP I can just rush into desecrate, arcane, etc. with proper vault and SP-Gloom usage. That's risky but a lot more fun than kiting elites on the edge of the screen, you know.

Though, glass cannons w/ 5k hp probably wouldn't want to use it offensively anyways.

a glass cannon using trails is doable, but only when you have room to backtrack. it's definitely not as fast as someone tanky enough to vault into mobs and skip trash.

You can't use it as complete glass cannon as in 0 Vit 0 AR. But you shouldnt be running around like that anyway.

yeah or also a new weapon might be nice. i'd recommend a crossbow if you like cluster arrow.

As much dps as possible no matter other stats? Should it have socket or high critical hit damage? Does weapon need to have dex? Life on hit or lifesteal?

Life on hit or lifesteal? Usually it's better to get one with a socket but you might find a good deal with base crit dmg though unlikely. I'd try to get dex or vit - if it has both it's probably overpriced. No reason for loh or ls unless you can get it on a good deal obviously. Shadow power is enough. Use a damage calculator to determine the best dps increase for your gear.

This is my current char: https://us.battle.net/d3/en/profile/Azzur-1861/hero/13202826
Currently have 50mil and there will be at least another 30mil coming (potentially more) - so, with lots of cash to burn, I'm looking at making some major upgrades.
Top of my list is the quiver and then possibly crossbow/rings.
A question to the DHs: is the natalya's set worth it (especially with the nerf to ToC coming up)? If I decide to get it, should I get the old or new set?

the nerf to toc just isn't fair

From a quick look:
Gloves: Get one with +crit and crit dmg (only has + crit dmg atm) with similar dex or better dex roll, shouldn't be too expensive Quiver: Get a similar one with better dex roll, quivers can roll up to 300 dex.
These are probably cheaper upgrades than jewelry (which tend to be much more expensive).

I'd recommend selling your Firewalkers and getting some plain rare ones. Legendaries are worth more purely because they're legendaries, and the only thing special about Firewalkers is the burning, which is largely irrelevant (unless you get some amazing rolls).
For roughly the same price, you could get 12% movement with 200+ Dex, plus Resist All or Vit. Plus a few other random mods.

The ToC nerf was needed because it wasn't very DHish - I have no problems if an OP skill was class iconic (e.g. rain of vengence or cluster arrow). But vaulting around killing mobs doesn't feel very right.

you don't have to kill mobs using vault exclusively. maybe nerf it to 750% or something but 300% will mean it wont be used.

I thought they would put it down to 750 or so, but 300% is going to make it unusable..atleast at inferno, dont know about the lower levels. You'd get so much more from tumble, which will be what everyone ends up picking.

its actually at 7500% right now instead of 1500%, so all they are doing is bringing it down where it was supposed to be originally. stop crying, DH is still miles ahead of everyone else for farming.
