Steady Aim, Sharpshooter, Archery. Caltrops[bait the trap] also helps.

This is my current build that has Butcher/Warden on farm with 5 stacks of valor in Inferno after the ss nerf where I've gone and re-itemized very tanky: http://us.battle.net/d3/en/calculator/demon-hunter#aRXjVT!TXe!YcZYcZ

Still getting 2-3 shot in Acts 2/3 though but there's a lot of improvement in resists/armor/hp I could use that would make it easily farm-able like this which is basically kite, and smokescreen as much as possible to maximize dps from standing still.

Here's my stats and gear in the video:

Oh my god, Nether Tentacles is so good. Definitely recommend. It's just got so much power in one attack. Great for mobs, solo target DPS, and even packs a little bit of lifesteal on top all for 10 Hatred. It's really quite nice. Great for ripping through those retarded invulnerable minion packs as well as full screen illusion packs.

Pair it with another kiting type of ability and you're essentially good to go.
God Bless

it has the highest damage potential of all your skills and lifesteal is important.

How much does the Resist help? I have nearly the same specs (no lets not lie, much weaker cos it's hard to close without respecing.), around 15K DPS (no dynamic crit) and 22K HP. I'm on Act 2 but I'd like to farm Pudge with semi-ease rather than getting oneshot to raise some money for AHing some better gear. My resist is only around 150 or 180 on average.

Actually, ball lightning rune on elemental arrow has the same dmg as nether. It has no lifeleach (which is neglectable at inferno anyways, since its nowhere near 3%) but has a MUCH larger aoe. So i think its actually preferable. Even though i used nether for a long time.

This has been sad a lot now, but here it goes again:
Ball of lightning does NOT do the same amount of damage as nether tentacles. Though the tooltip suggest that it does, the ball of lightning actually does not do the full damage ( It is not clear why afaik, but probably because it gets resisted ) thats stated in the tooltip. Ball of lightning also will not hit a monster multiple time (unconfirmed?), while nether will (confirmed).

Ball Lightning will absolutely hit the same monster multiple times, I've gotten 3-4 hits on slowed mobs. It also has significantly more AoE when it bursts. Tentacles still seems sweet though.

The one nice thing about ball is you can hit around corners with the massive AoE and monsters won't always react appropriately. that's still pretty rare though and with the unfortunate resist issue nether is probably better =/.

Though if you're running a NightStalker crit build Ball Lightning is pretty sexy with that. With only 17%ish crit and ball lightning I was pretty close to being able to drop multishot as a disc generator. Maybe Nether would have done the same though.

are there any spots to farm for decent gear? i am on farm act 1 and am through act 2 but that aint farm...that is dying and shit

the butcher runs seem to be pretty bad for gearing as it has as of yet not dropped on good thing, the items i got are all from friends who dont need it anymore or the weapon (775 dps) from auction house :3

Butcher runs are terrible, they drop weapons less than lvl 60, and when they do drop lvl 60 weapons it is of lower tier. Aspect farming is probably the quickest way to find a high dps weapon for yourself. Once you can solo act 3 and 4 you get some neat shit, especially with nephalem buffs on minibosses.

also, lightning ball is not out damaging nether tentacles outside of large aoe.

the tooltips may be the same but the damage sure as hell isnt. my nethers hit for 27-30k and lightnings for 15-17k.

the aoes sick though. i'll consider using it for valor runs today and see if i like it, but i don't think the damage is very impressive on most elites.

i could imagine that nether tentacles deal damage of a different kind against which most monsters have lower resists than against light dam?!
