congrats to eek for getting 200k unbuffed dps. forgot to tell you that in game today
Thanks man! Now for 300! lol
The general problem as I understand it (I haven't messed around with it myself) is that it's only really great against single targets. I've seen good DH's in public games melt enemies with it, but with the increased mob density even if it does great damage it sucks when you have 30 enemies on you. DH's already had decent if not great options against single targets, so while it's cool that they made Rapid Fire at least arguably viable, it's not the end all.
The last rune makes it AoE but I found that the speed is kind of bad (as in time from when you start attacking to when the DPS starts flowing). The build is really weird. I only tried it for a little bit last night. It relies a lot on snapshotting gloom along with DPS buffs but you kind of need insane DPS to melt shit fast in higher MP. For some reason, despite the higher DPS and same LS%, I just can't sustain enough to survive things like plague elites.
I can't really figure out how to keep my hatred up either. I'm running bats, mark of death w/ the hatred rune and the hatred passive for health globes and I still run out regularly. When you DO run out you're basically FUCKED. If there isn't a globe around you're pretty much dead which is annoying as fuck.
I'm not sure if you need to drop ASI but if you do, good luck dropping a mempo and getting a rare/legendary helm w/ Dex/AR/CC/Socket (spoiler: it's expensive).
Then there is the whole issue of discipline. For some reason I don't return a lot of disc off crits from rapid fire (low proc rate??) with the passive so it makes juggling the two resources even more difficult.
I'll probably try it again but after using EZmode grenade build it seemed like a lot of micromanaging all kinds of shit for a little extra DPS output.
For you guys, what's the most annoying affix for a monster? Mine has got to be shielding or electrified.
On my TR monk I hate RD. My crits are so big (2.5-3m?) that I just one shot myself no matter what (250k EHP)
On my regular monk I don't really like nightmare. I kind of zone out when playing DW monk so I never notice when I get cornered and feared and will die to other affixes.
On WD I hate vortex/knockback (affix or not) because it resets my bats channelling.
On my DH (grenades build) I don't really find any affixes too annoying since I have an almost infinite CC break. Arcane is probably the worst since my DH isn't very mobile but I can usually time shadow power enough to avoid the damage.
I mainly only do archon on my wiz now at MP5 and lower so I barely ever see what affixes elites have
My barb doesn't give a fuck about any affix.
