Im playing a trapsin trying to beat the game and in softcore and freely changing players setting to gain experience in easy parts and progress in hard parts.

I used light sentry all through nightmare but I am finding death sentry much more useful in hell.

My skill setup is burst of speed, death sentry and mind blast on right hand, and fire blast on left hand.

I find that between death sentry and fire blast I can handle 90% of situations including light immunes and only need to use mind blast in the most overcrowded situations.

Do you guys prefer death sentry for pvm?

Also of course you find this on a trapsin

I believe you’re supposed to place 4 light sentry traps down and then 1 death a little farther away. This will make the lights attack mobs and death sentry will use the corpse explosion over the light.

Not a well knowledgeable trapper but I thought this was the technique for PvM for mobs.

How do you find Death Sentry better than Lightning Sentry ?
I mean, LS has much higher lightning damage. Death Sentry is used just for the Corpse Explosion for which 1 DS is enough.

You are supposed to use both

Terrible ds > terrible ls

This

A couple things from my playing experience with this so far:

1) its hard to remember to switch back and forth in order to lay them in 4/1 ratio like that
2) continuously laying death sentries ensures they stick around long enough to do corpse explosion. if you dont have fire blast skilled high death sentry only sticks around for five shots instead of ten like light sentry. if you have fire blast maxed you get 11 shots i believe? with five death sentry traps you get lots of corpse explosion potential across the whole area you have the five traps placed. from what i've seen the large area coverage of corpse explosion clears areas very quickly

I probably am missing out on the double light damage from light sentry so I will give laying both of them a try
