PvP, I think DH is still the top of the food chain.
Plant 4x polar sentry and go invisible.

What happened? You accidentally sal it?

Just to share, 2.57K+ DPS 2H xbow is better than 2.95K DPS 2H bow.

I tested it many times at The Old Ruins quest, 4 players T6 split bounty run. The quest which you kill 100 mobs within time.
2H xbow can kill more than 2H bow, despite lower paper dps on the xbow.
2H xbow exceeds the BP of 2.16. 2H bow exceeds the BP of 2.84.

So, if you have 2.7K - 2.8K 2H xbow, go use it.
Xbow still hits harder, especially for sentry build.

Found this many weeks ago on breakpoint.
You can use the file to calculate damage output.
Take it with a pinch of salt. The result may vary in actual game play.
I can't remember where I found it.

wtf

The bold one > all loots.
That matters.

You will get many many marauder's gears until you can gear up 10 DHs.
Many people can gear up DHs with full Marauder's set without looting a single Ramaladni's gift.
No worries, your Marauder will come, it is just the matter of time.

Well, this is the best and most honest reply.
Yes, stack as many elemental damage or damage bonus as possible.

To reach that, first thing first, you need a TNT.

Breakpoint.

It is the point you achieve the optimal damage.

i.e. Your char has 2.77 attack speed with 1H bow + 50% attack speed from TNT
2.77 + 50% = 4.155 attack speed

+% cold damage

Yes, your sentry will gain additional damage from using Mr Yan's pants.

Mr Yan is a good alternative to TNT gloves.
Magefist is good too (for fire build).

You can use this file to calculate your damage.

It's technically 3200 DPS bow if you are cold build.

When you move to higher level of greater rift, your pets are useless.
This is because you need to cast (your sentry) and run like 30-40 yards away.
Your pets will run with you and they will not do any attack.

Yes

Yes. The follower will have increase damage against elites.
In a way, the follower does contribute damage against elites.
Well, unless your follower doesn't contribute.

No. The % of your followers will not add to your main char's % damage against elites.

The reason is you have already got the BiS gears.
An upgrade will be hard to come by as you already have the perfect gears.

For me, reasonable toughness and dps all the way.
Gears that help you immune to lightning or arcane > toughness (again, you need reasonable toughness. At least you don't get 1-shot in normal rift @ t6)

Likewise, reasonable CDR and dps all the way.
Most people with M6 sentry build have had easy time to handle normal rift and bounty @ T6.
For grift, it is a different ball game. Mobs won't get killed easily in high grift. IMO, CDR doesn't really matter.
Survivability is more a concern. Your CDR is no longer matter when you're dead.
In short, for me, CDR is less relevant than ever as we move to higher grift.
(If you have no survivability issue, then I think CDR will become relevant again, to improve the efficiency or shorten the time of killing mobs).

It depends on luck sometimes.

When you wear Julia, all elites come with thunderstorm.
When you wear Xephirian, all elites come with jailer.

4.15BP. Normally 1H bow is used.

I need to find out whether it kills faster than 2H bow and 2H crossbow at 2.84BP.
Anyone can do a ghom test?
