Hungering arrow does more dmg than rapid fire!

[HardRock]

If Shatter Shot does full damage and it can still pierce indefinitely, then it will OP as hell. Personally I think it will stop piercing targets and it will have a 35% one time chance to split with full damage.

So, on average, each shot of HA with the shatter shot rune will do 300% weapon damage. Link for math. Basically, HA can serve as your main damage dealer as well as being your main hatred generator.

tooltip implies that after the first split arrows won't split further.

Devouring Arrow seems interesting if there are items that can increase your pierce chance.

tooltip implies that after the first split arrows won't split further.

The 300% is with that assumption.

The 300% is with that assumption.

I saw that, i meant the same thing as HardRock

[voraginous]

so now that its retail what the verdict? How does shattershot work? Is it really 300% weapon damage? Or does it not pierce anymore?

Regardless of the actual dmg per arrow, Rapid Fire still does far more DPS, and along with Multi-shot, is the bread and butter offensive skill for the DH.

Scatter shot can only pierce back one time I tested it.

And what's the math on the dps of devouring arrow?

Scatter + Rapid sucks

Scatter isn't good AoE

Rapid is good single target but you are stationary which sucks in inferno

IMO best build = http://us.battle.net/d3/en/calculato...XVj!YTe!aaaZba

Ball Lightning and Twin Chakrams both crush the DPS of RF or MS. Or possibly anything else in this game, I suspect (says the guy who's only played the DH and Monk so far.

Yea i was thinking isn't ball lightning better single target dps than anything else on bosses where it hits like 3x per ball lightning
