I just love them in the keeps because of all the doorways and walls blocking line of sight. It's extremely safe for kiting nasty mobs, since you don't even have to be in vision of them so ranged things like quill beasts and tongue demons can't possibly touch you. Obviously it's lower dps than elemental arrow, but that doesn't really matter since it's much less risky to use and you can kite as long as you want.
Does evasive fire hit through walls or something? Sadly laying the mines is subject to line of fire.

The skull one is even better than tentacles if you're facing hard mobs. It does less damage against big targets but 40% chance to cause fear is really overpowered.

Not thru walls but thru corners more like and thru other LoS stuff like pillars, waller walls and other stuff basically it shoots thru anything but a solid room wall.

IMO for efficient runs you need enough DPS to kill the mobs during Smoke Screen or you end up getting ambushed too easily. I have 101k with sharpshooter and it feels a bit low

Yeah, they're pretty ridic. I usually try to get my follower to aggro them before I do so I don't blindly walk into death, and then just burst them down during SS. I have around 80k dps with sharpshooter, 42k without.
Also, movement speed is amazing for this act.

Playing in a party is really useful in act 3 as you won't have to spend 5 minutes running if you die.

Does anyone else use Rain of Vengeance w/ the stun rune?
I never see any of the "top" DH streamers using it, but it saves my ass a lot. Thoughts on it? I'm debating between switching it to bat pet or mark of death(hatred rune).

hey guys i have a dead mans quiver i found and im fixing on buying a new chest piece soon. I dont have any more max disc on my quiver so the only place i have it ATM is on a rare chest i have giving it +8. Do most top DH's run any +disc gear? and if so where are they getting it from, because im not seeing it on beckon sail or natalyias chest or something like that Quiver + 10 Chest + 10 I believe there is a legendary/set belt which can roll max +8 Loving my extra 20 disc. from my chest and quiver!  Which quiver and which chest give +10 that are still really nice dps compared to beck/dead mans ? Cause i will def check it out as i love the extra disc as well
Any quiver or chest can roll max discipline. It's not a legendary exclusive stat on those items. There seem to be a lot of cheap quivers on the auction house if you don't mind digging through all of them.

I used to use it, but hated it. The stun isn't reliable vs a lot of the things you actually worry about (teleport, mortar, etc.) and they'll often slip out of it while it's still going off. Then the damage just isn't good. I find spike trap + scatter to be a lot better and it will save your ass a ton as well if you use it properly.
Plus with the delay before it actually stuns it never felt like a good panic button so I didn't know exactly why I was using it.

A good Tal Rasha's is nice, currently what I'm using. It just lacks the +Discipline because it's not a DH only item.

yeah I want something that can give me like extra 4-5 disc so I can use prep 3rd time I saw the inquisitor too not really sure which to get.
|
So when hunting for elites in the Keep Depths, whenever I run into a Soul Lasher elite pack I just suicide and let Tyrael kill them, is there a better way for DH to kill Soul Lashers?

This might help.http://us.battle.net/d3/en/forum/topic/5235401029 I recently bought the boots and the Chest for 3.5m total. was a total waste IMO. the rolls on the items i bought were pretty poor. Was pretty foolish of me. My chest now has +9% spike trap which is nice.

so should i just farm the warden/butcher or should i try go through act 2 (while dying a lot)?

How Inna's Glory legs are good is astonishing, considering that the IAS% increase is broken.

Me and 3 other friends ran a 4 DH group today, btw all of us used Spike Trap/Scatter =P it was the best thing ever.
"was that just now a boss?"
"Yeah but he got blown the fuck up."
"LOLOLOLOLOL"
It's very fun to see alot of Spider Mines on the floor.

Those mobs are the reason I avoid depths....most annoying fkn mobs in the game by far. I do the bridge, icefall caverns (caverns of frost has annyoing lacuni leapers) and the random dungeons that spawn before the first bridge like barracks, battlements stores or w/e. They usually have easy meele mobs like skellies.
