It should have at least +100 more DEX and 1 additional socket. * Upgrade your gems, and switch everything to star emeralds or better (exkluding the ruby if you're playing for paragon (still make sure you upgrade it properly though)). The only thing that could hinder you from doing inferno is your skill and/or play-style with that gear. well thanks. I got a new chest piece. Now that I have decent equipment for inferno, any advice on what equip piece should I invest on next? edit: im thinking of getting an andariel's visage or saving up for a vile ward. Are these any good? or should I invest my cash on something else thats better at the moment? | ||

I am NOT a DH expert but I think I can help a little bit. The pieces that stick out as needing an upgrade the most to me are your quiver and chest armor. Try to pick up a quiver similar to mine (here). I got it for 200k which is a bit of steal but it is significantly better than your dml for a reasonable price. Your chest is lacking any valuable stats minus the +disc and perhaps the mf. After that the next thing I would upgrade would be your helm probably. | ||

I'd sacrifice a little bit of that ar for dps, you could get a big boost in dps on your gloves if you drop the ar. | ||

I feel my damage is reasonable, but my survivability is still lacking. While blizzard is about to do something about my survivability in 1.05, I have come into some money lately. I want to spend about 10 mil in upgrading my DH. I have a feeling my belt, ring and shoulders seem to be items most in need of an upgrade. Should I get rare shoulders? Should I try for a Hellcat waistguard? Should I dump my 10 mil into a really strong ring? Am I dead wrong in what I consider my weakest items? http://eu.battle.net/d3/en/profile/Ataraxia-2157/hero/920547 For only a few hundred K, you can upgrade your chest piece to a 1.04 version that will have the exact same stats, but better. Your pants are also very weak. For 1-2 million you can probably get up to 200 dex, 150 vit and some AR (including gems). And just in general, 2H vs 2x1H can be a preference thing, but the 1-handers you're using won't even get close to the DPS of a Crossbow (granted, 500 dex is a big deal). Play around with a damage calculator, but for about 8 mil combined you should be able to reach higher DPS with more Vit using a Crossbow and Quiver. | ||

 For now I feel like sticking to my 1h Xbows, and I'm considering saving up some more and seeing if I can snag up a Calamity or something of the sort to go with my danetta's That with the 1h Xbows is just a RP kind of thing  | ||

I'm currently trying to snag up some pants with the stats you described and looking for the armor. It seems however that to get close to the same dex I have to spend at least 2 mil. It will give me +5% mspeed and about 60 ar so that seems quite an improvement. I feel you're right about the pants though For now I feel like sticking to my 1h Xbows, and I'm considering saving up some more and seeing if I can snag up a Calamity or something of the sort to go with my danetta's That with the 1h Xbows is just a RP kind of thing Ah, you're right about Inquisitor. I remembered it being 170-200 Dex. In which case, I might recommend getting a cheapish Legacy Inna's Glory, and replace the Inquisitor with a Rare Chest with 3 sockets and at least 150 Dex with Vit/AR and some other decent stats. You'll still have the movement speed, roughly the same Dex and Vit, and more Defensive stats. Plus the other goodies Inna's pants give you. Obviously the increase will change depending on how much you're willing to spend for those 2 pieces. | ||

I think it's a very good change. Won't fix HC methinks. The problem with DH's survivability is that his main stat does nothing. 2000 str or int will give you 2000 armor or 200 resist all which are very good defensive bonuses. 2000 dex will bring you to 40% dodge but even with 99% dodge it still takes one lucky mob attack for you to die. | ||

I don't know, you think the dex -> armor passive is the only thing that saves monks in this regard? I agree that dex is the weakest defensive main stat, but I don't think it's as damning as you make it out to be. This change combined with an overall 25% damage nerf (which is a straight buff to DH over all other classes, as DH had no passive defensive bonus before, although the gloom nerf is obviously significant) should make it more manageable. | ||

Dex is okay when your survivability is already decent so that it reduces average damage. It's also okay when you want to minimize your amount of deaths. It's useless though when your base survivability is low and your job is to NEVER die, not just RARELY die. There's no guarantee. Btw why in the heck did they make reflect damage procs undodgeable? I mean a wizard has his intelligence which gives him his all resist which reduces the damage from RD included. Why doesn't DH's main stat do the same? | ||

I wonder how much gold you have to invest nowadays to farm Act 3 nowadays and if there are specific specs that make the progress less glacial. Are there any legendaries that are cost efficient? Are 20.000.000 going to be sufficient to farm at a semi-decent pace? €: That's gold, not Euro. | ||
