Movement speed & damage question(DH)

[Fannus]

Hey all,

currently I'm running a DH in core getting about 200-250k GPH with 242% gold find, 12% movement speed and about 6k damage (800 dps 1h crossbow) and am running a mostly aoe based skill set (evasive fire, multi-shot, fan of knives)

What I'm wondering:

is reaching 25% movement speed worth the cost? I can't seem to find any pieces that aren't insanely priced, does anyone know of any cheap pieces I can look out for?

Should I go for a higher damage wep and kill things faster but shoot slower and hence less hatred for aoe?

thanks.

I cannot say the actual difference as I am only up to 10% MS so far, but the items you should look for (On the cheap end) to get your MS:

Boots (Obviously)
Hammer Jammers (Pants)
Unity (Rings)

All the decent Unity's on US were 1 mil each so just look for a good deal. Sorry I do not have the answer for the exact amount you gain for getting 20+% MS. I am using the common setup everyone is using with: evasive fire, hungering arrow, ferrets (Every 120 seconds), fan of knives (On elites), Smoke Screen (every 15 seconds), preparation using passive to make evasive fire and smoke screen gimmie super speed.

I am sitting around 190k/hr right now after 35 runs, not the best but getting there.

Thanks for the info,

I'll be looking out for that ring / pants (didn't know pants had MS%)

Seriously guys - as a dh you DONT need any MS improved gear. simply set a build with Hot Purstuit and be sure to only use dmg skills that do not cost hatred. so you got 25% ms everytime.

doing 300-400 gph depending on RNG with about 250gf, 30yards pickup & 30mf. looting gems, blues, rares, legendarys (keep gems & legendarys).

skills used:
1. none
2. smoke screen every 10seconds (with movementspeed rune)
3. preparation
4. companion ferrets (every 240 sec)

Main: evasive fire (covering fire)
Second: fan of knives (only if 5+ mobs in range)

works perfect, 99,9% uptime of full hatred

Nurn: Am I missing something, hot pursuit only gives 15% MS not 25. Doesn't it stand to reason that as a DH 45% MS (Counting hot pursuit) would still give the same increases others see from 0-25? Faster is better, or after a certain amount it doesn't matter?

Im Sorry - youre right. I missed my boots with 12% MS on it. I wouldnt recommend buying legendarys. Just look for boots with 10%, Gold & Pickuprange or Magicfind on it. Plus our movementspeed increase through smokescreen im getting roughly 300gph. depends on highly RNG as i got 350 for about 4 hours yesterday. today its a mess... +- 50 is normal business.

At least you cant get over 25% MS hard stats. But our Smokescreen (or later vault) MS increase DOES count. Found it to be my best setup.
