Other than the entire AH being plagued with bots but ya.
Bots or no bots, when there's hundreds of thousands (millions?) of other shoppers, there's going to be a lot of competition.

At least the AH seems to be working a bit better now.
what did they bring the servers down for today?
So glad those threads were created, it has made this thread so much more bearable. In the past 20 posts now, people have actually been discussing game concepts.
My poor DH was using a 1-h bow and a quiver. For some reason the first time I got a 2-h Bow I couldn't equip it directly with a quiver already equipped for some reason, so I assumed you could only use quivers with 1-h bows. As such, that is what I've been doing from the beginning. I just discovered yesterday that you could use a 2-h bow and a quiver. I felt like an utter n00b. At least it hasn't been difficult leveling, but to think at how much more I could have been destroying things!
lol i didnt know you could use a quiver with a 2h bow either, i think i tossed a 2h bow yesterday that was pretty nice because of this
Yea JoPh invites me to games a lot, actually hes one of the few that does

Jeez, I didn't realize that either, but I guess it makes sense. No wonder 1h xbows don't sell that well in the AH
The general consensus is that 2h + quiver is better. And that 2h xbows are the best because you are kiting with sharpshooter building up thus creating more guaranteed crits (which xbows benefit from most). I have tried dual wielding also and it was much worse, things died much slower. However it was nice to have the extra +Discipline (and also +hatred regen) on those 1h weapons.
As far as the off hand dps stacking 1:1, no it doesnt. I dont know the math but 2 600 DPS 1h'ers are not better than 1 2h 1000DPS. Apparently at maximum gear levels dual wielding becomes better, but I am not sure if I even believe that. That guy Athene (a guy who has the best items money can buy) uses a very high dps 2h xbow and plows through inferno bosses in a matter of 15 or so seconds.
