Making use of the Marauder's 6-piece bonus as well as some type of fire supplement, preferably a Cindercoat that also has Fire skill cost reduction. If you don't have a Cindercoat then some Magefist or Andariel's to supplement fire damage could help, or you can run all 6 pieces of Marauder's and swap out a ring. Kridershot and Bombardiers are necessary for this to work properly.

Build Guide

When I was testing this one the PTR and was pumping out Elemental Arrow, I immediately thought it looked like I was shooting fire, especially with enough Attack Speed. This is a really fun and strong build to utilize if you're looking to stray from the Cold Sentry build to try something different. It will clear T6 easily of course, and can actually fair very well in decently high Greater Rifts. Just a bit of a change if you're looking to make use of some different skills/gear. Hope you all enjoy!
