TBH, for DH:
400-500 Res all with 40khp and 60-80k dps with sharp. Thats the minimum to make act 3 enjoyable.
Look into high res shoulders with high roll dex. Also consider building 4 pieces of Nat set (+2 disc**line generation is godly). Inna's Blessing with high roll dex and res all + inna's glorry will help.
As a demon hunter, only a smarter combat algorithm will help it fight elites. The stuff that kills you has to be avoided (mortar, etc etc)
Also it needs to kite and backtrack along the path its fought (so it doesn't pull more mobs)
Actually this saying is just plain wrong. With this build Demon Hunter - Game Guide - Diablo III I tanked A2 and A3 champs using my face pre 1.0.3 with only 35kish HP 250 Allres and 138k damage.
All this build would need in order to farm a specific rarepack over and over would be a small rework for 1.0.3 use and something like:
Use Shadow Power every 3 sec after engaging combat. Constant uptime for 18 sec including the natural regen.
Use Preparation After using Shadow Power
Mark 1 Enemy with Mortal Enemy.
Use Rain of Vengeance (Stampede) when 2+ Mobs in melee range.
Shoot Stuff
For A1 this would work just fine as long as you got decent gear.
Hold on. We're comparing Human play against bot play. Humans will always play smarter.
Pre 1.03 I was pushing same stats as yours and completed inferno Diablo (post ss nerf). This isn't the point. This is about efficient bot farming.
What you or I did pre-nerf is irrelevant. How much do you think it will cost to gear out a bot to achieve that? IMO if its a botting char, you'll want to spend as little, and get as much as you can out.
I do however agree that DH is not the best class to bot with though.
The stats I mention make DH somewhat more viable for A3 onwards. It is also a costly venture.
would not trust DH for bot farming inferno
I have a warrior in act1 inferno. He has 44k Life, 600+ resist and he struggles.
I think the main thing is the shield and weapon. Not at home so this is a guess.
His shield is level 60 78 all resist and 144 vitality 8% block.
Weapons I get very confused on.
one person said get a life on hit of at least 700.
