I wonder how much dps You gain/lose from swapping two Good rares for two Good nats pieces (e.g.Ring and Boots). 7% crit sounds like a lot.

I lost 30k w/ SS and about 5-10k w/o SS. But the +2 disc regen is just ridiculous, you can literally gloom 24/7 with a tiny delay between gloom, some prefer smoke screen, but IMO gloom is a lot better, as long as you are constantly doing damage and moving away from CC abilities like waller and freeze you will never die.

It may go down somewhat if/when they nerf TOC.

if you only get 2 pieces for the 7% crit you shouldn't lose anything :-O it should be a pretty huge gain instead. it's hard to beat the 3rd bonus aswell i think edit: i mean the 130dex one. probably ring,boots,cloak is best if just talking dps.
everyone can value the final bonus how they want but for me the 2 disc/sec is impossible to beat.
i already saw someone combine 2 pieces of legacy and the new for 2*7 crit and that's probably crazy for dps too :D

if you have 300-500 All Resists, can you actually tank damage pretty well? Looking to farm act3, it hasn't been going well with a glass cannon setup

You can't tank, but you can take hits without worrying (except power melee attacks). I'd recommend some sort of life gain though, whether it's a little LoH (200-300 is good), some Life Steal or Life Regen. Cuts down on the annoyance of chugging potions.
Average means I'm better than half of you.

I would say you want to get enough survivability that pretty much nothing fast can 1shot you (phasebeasts), then add damage. No matter what you do you can't stand still and fire without gloom on, and as long as you can take a few hits with gloom / 1 without, you will heal fast with gloom with high dps and die less.

I have 250-350 AR, 35k hp and with decent kiting and timely gloom usage, most deaths are avoidable (except for bad combination of elite affixes and unfavourable environment).

Anyone under 30k hp able to take a hit from non-elite tormented stinger / phase beast? Also, without gloom.

http://us.battle.net/d3/en/profile/LaiShin-1641/hero/14057117

Thinking of replacing my helm with nat's sight. But most doesn't have that high of a vit if any. I would like to know the minimum AR and hp to take one hit from those.

if you are aiming for fast runs tankiness is almost as important as dps and gets even more important at the upper ranges. each death is very costly. either the run is abandoned or you have to backtrack a lot. without tankiness you also have to kite a lot, can't use toc aggressively, and lose a lot of effective dps. there's no exact numbers but i'd say you should be comfortable vaulting through mobs without fear of dying.

good places to get survivability for cheap:

look for phys resist on all types of gear.
belts and shoulders can give high resist and vit if you trade 30 dex.
dead man legacy quiver
+vit on pants and cloak are very cheap
+vit on weapon if you can get a good deal

of course, you also need a nats set to fully take advantage of the tankiness, not to spam gloom but to spam vault and go faster through the content.

This is pretty silly IMO, since all it gives you is maybe the ability to tank 1-2 hits and then you are dead, while the DPS sacrifice is usually very high unless you are willing to pay something in the region of 40-50m.

DPS is way more important than health/AR, DH isn't meant to be able to tank hits (at least by how Blizzard has been nerfing tank builds and skills). Glass cannon is generally the only way to go.

well if your dps is high enough, say above 70k pre ss, more dps won't help you THAT much. you want to avoid deaths and deal dps in the most effective way.

i was at 110k dps with a 1370 dps bow that has 200 vit, then i found a manticore that gave me a 30k dps bump. it didn't feel like that much of an upgrade because of the loss of hp. i now have around 40k hp and 450 phys resist, and i only die to lag pretty much. this is much more than 1 or 2 more hits. it means i can vault through trash mobs without wasting disc on gloom, vault through the most retarded elite groups with gloom on, etc. the amount of time saved by avoiding 2 deaths per run is much more than a gain of 10% dps would give you.

Since toc is going to get nerfed really soon gearing like that makes no sense though.

with tumble it works the same way, but your dps threshold is going to be higher. if you can one shot normal mobs with your spam attack then i'd say you got enough.

It's a matter of preference I Suppose. In my book, as long as I can take 1-2 hits I got enough survival.

I don't think glass cannon is the way to go. Rubberbanding is still an issue and from the way the game has changed, it promotes gearing for some defense instead of pure glass cannon (mob ai improvements + dmg nerfs). Being able to take up to two hits is a huge quality of life buff in A3, especially for those without a nats 4p.
