 So I'm level 20 now, killing things fast in Normal, but I do intend to go to Inferno with this one. What's the weapon setup you guys use? Looking through the passives available, it seems like 2-hand bow are best? Are other people using 2 hand crossbows or even the 2-hand crossbow? It seems like quivers are too good to pass up too... I know until Inferno it probably doesn't matter what my items/builds are, but I'd like to start preparing as soon as I can. | ||

They have a higher rate of attack, and also allow for something other than a quiver. But you want a quiver, it's just better than a shield by attributes, period. I'd recommend a high damage (900+) 1-hand bow, otherwise 2-hand bow with quiver that includes Max Discpline, and perhaps dex, crit chance and damage. All quivers come with attack rate, so look for 14+. 1-handers make it easier for you to kite. Also the higher attack rate means certain skills will be shot off more - chance to stun/silence and arrows that hit multiple times (nether tentacles), will mean ur DPS will be greatly increased (even tho it won't be shown), compared to the same DPS with lower attack rate from a 2 hand bow. | ||

Do you mean 1 hand crossbow? So equip that with quiver? And yeah I have a Level 40 Barb in Nightmare and shield is priority over anything else, so I assumed that quivers would be a must too for DH. | ||

Get tyrel to beast mode it up. I use caltraps but alot of other people i know run impale for some regen, I can usually get elites to half hp or lower with one full ss prep combo and my dps isnt that great. U can always let tyrel smack on them while u wait for your prep cd for another combo | ||

The best way is to get them stuck on Tyrael if you're unable to kill them normally. You might just not have enough gear though. | ||

When looking at xbow stats, is it better to buy one with increased attack speed or +x% dmg? Also if buying a 1 hander, do you dual wield or use a shield? | ||

I reached the spider cave (god i hate this place) and found a golden small spider in it with horde reflect damage, extra hp and some other things i don't remember. Thing is, i don't think they had the fast attribute but still were insainly quick and with the reflect damage i found myself just killing myself. I really felt like i had nothing and just closed diablo3... Any one of you got tips to deal with reflect damage mobs? Also does it happen to you to get vs a monster with a bad combination of attributes and just restart the quest? invulnerable minion, reflect damage, fast, mortar bs make it really hard to progress sometimes.. | ||

Reflect damage, I quit and restart hoping for better luck Invulnerable minions. As long it's not Invulnerable Minion with Horde Evasive fire/Covering fire will be able to magically take down the boss with it's always hit 3 target regardless where they are ability. | ||

Smokescreen blocks reflect damage. What I do is keep running around til smokescreen is up, then dps as much as I can while smokescreened. Repeat. | ||

Definitely not the proper way tho | ||

Horde reflect on a super fast sounds restart worthy though. Some things just aren't worth the effort. | ||

Im particularly not sure about the runes I personally use almost the same build with the exception of Evasive Fire/Covering Fire over Using Hungering/Devouring. Because not having to aim and able to bypass terrain is simply too good to pass up. | ||
