Aight, I came up with this build after trying a few different builds
(Tried physical, Fire without sentries and mores)
In my opinion its the ultimate for farming high torrent levels

I will do this as simple as it can be:

Part one: Equipments

Obviously You need as much Critical Hit chance, Critical Hit damage and Fire damage % as possible
In addition, Cooldown reduction is useful in this build, since sentry skill has cooldown
There are few basics for this build that the build won't work without them:
Marauder set (5 Parts + Ring of Royal Grandeur) - Enables your sentries to shoot your hatred costed skills + summons all your companions
Bombadier's Rucksack Quiver Enables you to use extra +2 maximum of Sentries
Cindercoat Reduces all your Fire skills cost + provides a nice Fire damage bonus

Other items I would recommend:
Reaper's Wrap - recovers 25-30% hatred per health globe
Calamity 'Marked for death' to every enemy that got hit by you, that makes them take 20% more damage
Stone of Jordan for 2+ Party game - Higher damage vs elites, with High Fire damage %
Unity Ring Instand of Soj for Solo games (Must equip your follower with a Unity aswell and with Enchanting Favor relic)
Harrington's Waistguard belt - 100-130% additional damage for 10 seconds after open chest/corspe, since sentries does all for us, we have time to run and open chests meanwhile the fight


Part two: Skills

This part is very dynamic, alot depanding on your equips but there are few things that are a must.
that is the link to my character, thats how I think its the most effective to play right now:
http://eu.battle.net/d3/en/profile/NiRo-2901/hero/11196350

Must skills for that build are:
Sentry (Spitfire turrent rune will give some additional damage, and reduce the cost of hatred since it makes it a "Fire skill")
Cluster Arrow (Loaded for bearRune Provides tons of fire damage, also here hatred cost will be reduced by Cindercoat)
Multishot (Arsenal Rune is recommended, even though you could also use 'Suppression Fire' which is neat for recovering your Discipline but skill itself will cost more hatred)
Companion (Wolf Companion Rune Provides 125% Damage which is cool. Companion skill itself is must in my eyes, since it provides alot of tank with full Marauder set)
Vault (The Rune here is kinda dynamic. I personally use 'Ratting Roll' since I like the stun, and also it fits perfectly to my amulet (Stun summons 2 Clones with same dmg as me
but also 'Trail of Cinders' is a good option, will require less discipline and provide some fire damage)
Custom Engineering (Passive - Enables you to use +1 maximum Sentry)
*Rest skills and Passive skills depends mostly on your gear, you can check my character's if you wanna get some general idea

Paragon: (This is alot depending on what youre missing in your equipments, thats a general opinion)

Core: Dexterity > Vitality > Maximum Hatred > Run speed
Offense: Critical Chance > Critical Damage > Attack speed > Cooldown reduction
Defense: Life % > Resistance > Life regeneration > Armor
Utility: Resource cost reduction > Life on hit > Area Damage > Gold find



Enjoy the guide, I will accept feedbacks and your opinions.
if you have any questions regarding the build, i will be glad to answer!

impaling bolt is physical


I also disagree with using a 1 hander with sentries

I mean the hatred on hit.
It could be decent against ubers if it procs the hatred on hit.
Too lazy to change my gear, so I actually lose hatred when I fire Cluster Arrow.

So you can just constantly keep shooting cluster arrow, only stopping to recast sentries for 1-2 minutes until the uber bosses die?
I don't see that happening with 23.436 hatred cost Cluster Arrow. (-30% from chest, -7% from shoulders, -10% from paragon)
