are the extra sentries spawned worth having to use a 1 hander?

nop

What's really the difference between 1 and 2 hander weapons? I'm using my 2.8k dmg Nat Han Crossbow just because the weapon damage is so high. Is there any reason why 2 handed Manticore would be better, even if it had 2.5k dmg?

sentries don't scale very well with attack speed since spenders have internal cooldown that are only slightly change by even dramatic attack speed increases

hence you want to hit as hard as you can for each hit

yeah but does it mean that 2.5k 2hander would be better than 2.8k 1 hander? Or just take the one that has higher dmg?

look at the base damage

the difference isnt small

your sentries hit like 30-40% harder with a 2h crossbow than a hand crossbow

56kk crit with cluster arrow
no buffs/harrington or similiar shit

what are ur critting for?
probably like 10-20 at best with 1h?

Without tasker, is it still worth going for a sentry/pet build? I'm considering using either a cindercoat or Magefist.

if you go fire yes that's fine DalaiLama above uses a cindercoat.
