I went Hand Crossbow/Shield in early Act I; it made an enormous difference to survivability. I have tried dropping the shield a couple of times, but almost immediately come back.
Thanks for the offers, but I spent all my gold upgrading my Blacksmith for the next tier of gear, which includes a bow. Once I gain another level (to use it) and somehow farm enough gold to craft one (I swear I got better gold drops in Normal), I will hopefully have something up to snuff.
Slowly continuing through Act II while I work on it. Still using almost entirely using Nightmare-tier equipment (bought a 250DPS bow from a vendor the other day that is Hell-tier). There is definitely something screwy about the drops; no wonder everyone in Inferno is complaining. I am sure I had better luck in Diablo II, and gear meant far less in it.
