- It looks like your life is very low, 265 on gear only. Honnor Twirl can get some life from master crafting.
- If it takes many shots for you to kill a pack, you may want to try faster attack instead of increase crit damage. It will give you more dps (but less overkill damage).
- And that bow deserves some links ;), so that you can at least put puncture, ppad, crit multi, crit chance (or faster attack). This is useful in hit and run scenarii.
- You Rat's Nest is legacy. Now it can have 150% increase evasion, 15% increase attack speed and 60 to 75% increase crit chance. It deserves a divine orb. Or maybe you can find a collector willing to pay more than the current price of this helm in trade (around 1ex in std), and then get a new one.

- Links:
In your gloves: cwdt lvl 17, immortal call 16, increase duration lvl max, vaal haste or grace (won't be triggered by cwdt but will benefit from increase duration).
In your helm: cwdt lvl 1, enduring cry lvl 3, Mirror Arrow, Proj. Weakness (blue curses are better: assassin's mark, enfeeble, vuln. You just need one blue sock (you could get it in your bow, and use anyone as needed).

Don't just blindly copy things without a clue. The missing pierce gem CLEARLY gives you a lot more damage.

You are using Drillneck, did you bought that expensive quiver without knowing what it actually does, seriously? The main reason for using Drillneck over a good rare quiver (which gives a lot Crit Chance and Multiplier and can still have high Life, Attack Speed and/or Leech) is the "Projectile Damage Increased By Arrow Pierce Chance".

Pierce Chance is capped at 100%, so with a Pierce Gem, the 30% from the Tree (behind the two 10% Projectile Damage Nodes) and 10% from Drillneck itself you easily get 100% Pierce Chance.

NOT ONLY you gain +100% increased Projectile Damage (= affects all damage, physical as elemental) BUT ...
IN ADDITION do you gain a lot of clear speed (because projectiles not only hit the first/last row (depending on where the TS detonates) BUT ALL ENEMIES the arrows are traveling through!!!

If you don't use a pierce gem ... your expensive Drillneck is WORTHLESS

Seems I quoted the wrong part ...

You could take Maligaro's for more Crit and Multiplier and look for flat Physical Damage on Jewelry as well as increased Physical Damage from a Doryani's (but I would only get that belt if the rest of your gear has decent life).

Herald's are very important as well as Hatred Aura, make sure you run as much as possible - but you need at least as much flat mana unreserved that you can shoot 2-3 times for the mana leech to kick in.

Oh ... and if you don't play hardcore: Get all those Crit and (more important) Crit Multi nodes BEFORE everything else.

Don't give a lot on your sheet DPS, but look at your clear speed in maps. 7k should be already decent at least (insane clear speed / one-shots for low to mid level maps?)
