might have something to do with your weapons dps... also is that with Sharpshooter? some peoples dps is artificially inflated because of SS so they arent really pushing 200K+

[Sky]

Those people with the 200k+ dps are wearing items that contain crit chance, crit damage, attack speed. but be extra safe and go for the quadfecta gear instead; resist all on top of those 3 stats, and you'll be doing 400k+ dps in no time, and they'll all be yellow items!

[Garychios]

What is Quadraeffect? I am such a noob on D3!

[Sky]

quadfecta is:

 

all resist

crit chance

crit damage

attack speed

 

 

 

those 4 stats on any one item will cost you like 50mil a piece. That's if you're lucky. Usually like 500mil for a good piece. Now, let the people wearing quadfecta everywhere try to convince you they didn't have a hundred people backing them and didn't spend any money =p

1. Your weapons DPS is very low. Get one in the 1200-1400 range.

2. What Sky said, crit chance, crit damage, attack speed. They all get factored into your DPS. Your dexterity seems fine.

 

I'm currenty about 99k DPS unbuffed, and almost 120k buffed. Wizard though, not Demon Hunter.

Gary, you want a dexterity range like mine (3100+) go go go! Also, you want the 4 stats ive listed above + your main stat. You dont even need vitality. Go for life % instead. If you have lifesteal + quadfecta, it won't matter if you have 6k life, because you'll leach more health than damage you take. Sad story about why diablo 3 is a really poorly designed game =(

you really need to get away from trying to use legendaries and set pieces. They're not really good items. Diablo 3 has it backwards, in that yellow (rare) value items are the best in the game. Normally, like in diablo 2, rare items had a cap on how high certain stats could go, and if they could have certain stats with each other, to prevent one-all-powerful-items, and then legendaries would have higher caps, etc., but in Diablo 3 that isn't the case. Of course, the weapon you're really looking for is the 2 Socket Manticore. They'll cost you 100m+, though, but you can get a 1 socket manticore relatively cheap in the 1200+ dps range. It'll do far more dps than the god-awful danetta's set. It looks like you tried to go the cheap route, but solid dps isn't cheap.

Thanks, I bought a few things though, with what i can afford. If I can find where to go and get the good stuff, I would. But a lot of people are not fun to play with as they seem to always be afk etc or die fast. I thought yielding 2 weapons with 900+ dps would be awesome

[Sky]

yielding a single weapon with 1200+ dps is better, because it's not the weapon dps that provides the abundancy of actual dps. It's the stats the weapon yields. A weapon with a lot of crit damage bonus will obviously yield a higher dps value, which is why DH go after the 2 socket manticore, because you can get up to 300% crit damage bonus with it. Everyone seems to have this misunderstanding of where you farm gear. Anywhere you want to. If you have at least monster power 1 turned on, it doesn't matter what act or what mobs you choose to farm, they all have a 100% equal chance of dropping the exact same thing. Put a monster power you are comfortable farming on, and farm.

Hey, I am, back from Barbados. Ill try and get a better 1 hand weapon and try again. Thanks for the info.

[samurai nightling]

Yeah but with demon hunters cant you have a 2 handed bow and still equip a quiver? That sounds like the best option to me, since the 2 handers have more DPS generally.

I got it to 113K. I am on the quest to just play now and see what happends?
