Build Guide

People like UE because the damage multiplier is high? (assuming 85 discipline, 85*40*1.6= 5440% damage increase), well, this build's damage multiplier is 4000% (5 sentries) * 2.5 (Augustine Panacea)= 10000%, the quiver boosts elemental arrows cast by Sentries too. The dps potential is incredibly high.

Alternative Set up: put Frostburn in Cube and wear Ancient Parthan Defenders, and switch Sentries' rune to Polar Station.

2nd Alternative set up: use Evasive Fire with Surge Rune instead of Preparation, put on Wraps of Clarity Bracers, and use Smoke Screen - Special Recipe instead of Vault, the playstyle with this build is to gain safe distance with backflip, cast Guardian turrets sentry and smoke screen before tearing down mobs, distance is important at increasing damage since u need it for Steady Aim and Zei's Stone of Vengeance. I personally prefer this over the 1st Alternative set up.

If u get a really nicely rolled Elusive ring or Unity ring, feel free to equip it and cube CoE instead.

Enforcer gem is omitted in this build because the primarily DPS is still your own character, sentries & companions still do decent damage in this build though.

It is important to get a good Dawn for this build to work, you want enough Vengeance CDR on Dawn + gear CDR to have near 100% uptime on Vengeance. With a bit of Resource Cost Reduction from paragon and gear plus Seethe rune from Vengeance, we'll have more than enough Hatred to spam elemental arrows and can say goodbye to Kridershot! yay!
