ss and archery are must have.

For the 3rd slot I use steady aim, but I see a lot of dhs running Night Stalker or Tactical Advantage.

im a demon hunter having 93k dps without sharpshooter. been thinkin if gearing with more vit/ar while minimizing dps loss. probably gonna very expensive but the repair cost and long term viability of a glass cannon worries me. for those of you who have vit/ar , what are your hp/resist to survive 1-2 solid hits at least?

Tactical Advantage and Archery are must haves.

Sharpshooter or Steady Aim depends on how good your gear is. If your gear is good enough to have at least 40% crit chance, then Steady Aim hands down, otherwise, don't bother with crit chance gear at all, replace them with crit dmg% gear and go Sharpshooter.

Not sure how reliable Night Stalker would be. The mobility that tactical advantage gives is too good to give up imo, especially before bosses while you're building up Valor and if you don't run Vault.

False.

After a certain % crit chance Sharpshooter won't proc pass 2-3 seconds which is a waste of a passive talent. 1 guaranteed critical shot at the start of the battle is nothing compared to Steady Aim's 20% boost.

steady aim and archery are a must imho. third slot either for sharpshooter or nightstalker. tactical advantage only if you have some bossfight ahead of you that you only want to do once for the quest, not for farming purposes. in this case, it might be worth it to switch to vault + tactical advantage. but for ordinary mf runs, tactical advantage is a total waste imho. steady aim + archery + sharpshooter is the way to go in most circumstances.

So less than 40% crit chance, use sharpshooter, and if greater than 40%, use archery?

You didn't read everything I wrote.

Also:

1 guaranteed critical shot at the start of the battle


Makes me think you don't know how sharpshooter works. Or how elemental arrow works. Or how either of them works.

You can also do better than tactical advantage. You should always have Steady Aim, Sharpshooter, and always Archery. What is different is Sharpshooter versus Nightstalker, Tactical Advantage honestly isnt part of the menu -.-

I would take cull the weak before Tact Advant

The better gear you have, the worse Sharpshooter becomes. It's the worst DPS increaser out of the 3 popular passives, the other two being Steady Aim and Archery. The main purpose of the passive was to abuse the 1 second window of guaranteed crits with Nethers, but they already nerfed it so the 1 second window starts after the first crit proc.

Tactical Advantage is VERY useful for certain affix combinations. Imagine getting walled in while running away with a pack of mobs waiting on the open end and you have to Smoke Screen early to avoid Frozen/Jailer/Mortar.

Also, the idea of must have passives is silly.
Here is a stunlock tank DH build that uses non of the currently popular glass cannon passives:

Thats why you trade it out for Nightstalker later on. I said this a few times -.-
40 percent sounds like an OK number. Bit high though.

You also dont need anyones permission to use bad builds >.>

Sharpshooter is the worst DPS increaser out of the 3 even with less than the default 5% crit chance.

And your idea of must have passives all just increase damage in a state of the game where people don't have access to high end gear. >_> -_- o_o <_< :o :3

Well I was able to jump start my DH with just 2 million and I got a full suite of glass cannon over rape gear. But I guess if you are a really fresh DH with only 500k or something with a 400 DPS bow sharpshooter wouldnt look so great.

People's thoughts on this build?

It's apparently the best build for DH.

Most of it is conventional. Why tactical advantage over nightstalker, I have no idea. Probably related to the fact that the OP's experience comes from hardcore, where things are different. With enough crit Nightstalker is crazy imba.

What does the DPS of your weapon have to do with anything? It doesn't matter what your DPS is, you will deal more damage having Steady Aim or Archery over Sharpshooter. It's a terrible passive for boosting damage and having better gear that have crit chance will only make it worse. The only way to make Sharpshooter worthwhile is to have gear with loaded +crit damage and a build that'll have you shoot for a second, run around doing nothing, and shoot for another second.

I didnt quite understand the "shoot for a second" thing you were getting at.

I use Nightstalker in groups of 3 and 4 over sharpshooter.

How often does a crit restore discipline? I was kind of turned off Night Stalker because it said a "chance" to restore discipline, so I was thinking "well that's crap, I need to crit AND proc it for a measly 1 discipline". But by the sounds of it, the chance is actually pretty high?
