Well, at least in the EU AH your main hand alone would be an insane bargain. The cheapest >=300 LoH weapon with similar DPS to yours is 3 mio - and it doesn't come with any other stats unlike yours. So stating it's a cheap build when your weapon alone is worth as much as you're stating for your whole gear is a bit ridiculous in my opinion.
If you really want a cheap build, get a >1k DPS 2h with life steal and %critdamage - you can reliably get those for <200k. Get %Crit, %Critdamage on slots that can have those stats and otherwise get a mix of Strength, Vitality and All Resists (usually only two of those). Congratulations, you now have a 2h Barbarian that's actually worth <2 mio that can easily run through Act 1/2 and with a bit more effort Act 3 as well.
Edit: Checked the US AH, it's not different at all.
Thus tl;dr: LoH builds are not low budget builds whatsoever.
He seemed to do it really easily, I'd bet it would be fine with a cheaper weapon.
Just looked it up, and you can get over 200 LoH on a 600dps weapon for 20k. So....Yeah, there's that.
Once I got up to 500k I was finding extremely good main hands, easily comparable to or better what he was using.
BL i already covered. Yet it hit twice but it still does half damage then NT per hit. Thats why NT was a clear winner (before). Actually rapid fire hatered is terrible if you have to move alot. The cost is the initial activation. Unless the enemy let you sit there for over 2 seconds. Its very, very poor.
If you use the 5 hatred activation, then its over 200% for 15 hatred, and gets better the longer you can hold it. You can actually kill most bosses before you have to move anyways (With good gear)
If my math is correct (and I'm not positive it is), it means that the damage bonus from Archery for bows beats the damage bonus for Xbows until you reach 333.33% crit damage (before Archery).
If this is true, I'm pretty sure there are a lot of players out there using Xbows that probably shouldn't be.
Can someone please double check this?
Math is right, conclusion is wrong. Xbows are better until you have 333% bonus crit damage without the passive.
Would you guys think Ball Lightning will be the go-to now? I know it does less damage overall, but its range+hitting targets multiple times might be worth it? I feel like Frozen Arrow won't be as efficient due to it not piercing.
Ball Lightning doesn't hit the same target multiple times. Doesn't even do 155% like tooltip suggests.
It hits the same target multiple times, but it only does ~80% damage per hit. It can still hit a big target 3+ times though.
Ah thanks for info. Seems Sparkflint Familar is better now (and even was better before the patch).
It all depends if you want 3% more damage and knockback or an occasional projectile for 20% weapon damage.
They were always pretty much equal, that projectile usually misses and doesn't happen with every shot of hydra or anything though. That's why people stuck with Force Weapon.

I'm not sure why you'd miss them when you can still do them...

Stormshields are $250 for decent ones, $50 for junk ones.
