This build works very well in T6 rifts. I have reached Grift 32 solo, and I would expect it to go a little further with some gear upgrades. I saw a similar build, in which the user had highlighted the Hatred generation issue he was having. With this build I have practically endless Hatred. This is due to mainly good rolls on the gear, and Kridershots affix, which generates 4 Hatred. The off-hand used, which is not listed, (?), is Meticulous Bolts quiver. This is essential for the build to work.

The sentries will fire Elemental Arrows as you do, at whatever target they are in sight/range of. The MB quiver slows the Ball lightning down, and therefore is in contact with the targets longer, causing a lot of damage. My friends complain about the constant stream of blue balls, but they get the job done.

I use a tactic where basically as I move, I place sentries ahead of me, then place spike traps just beyond them, and near me, in case any fast movers break through. Its kind of a 'rolling' offensive line, and lays down a good amount of fire. Tie that in with the full company of pets, and nothing really should bother you.
