Hello,

Just entered Nightmare and respec'ed to Light Sentry.

Now level 46 and I have Light Sentry and Death Sentry maxed out (or almost).
I am questioning myself on what should be the 3rd skill for me to level up.

A. Synergy to light sentry? Shock Web I would say cause it is a skill i can spam on my left click while my traps do damage and charged bolt sentry... i cannot do that.
B. Synergy to death sentry? Fire blast? Better death sentry damage and i can spam it on my left click and that gives me a second source of elemental damage?
C. Other?

I am playing P8 SSF Hardcore on SP btw (if that can impact your answers.

I am curious to have your opinions!

I always max Lightning sentry first, then death sentry and then fireblast and don't worry about immunes anymore.

Then the rest of the lighting traps as sinergies.

I thought of doing this. I was just unsure if doing this I will lack power in Hell since I am going through the game P8?
Will my death sentry start doing more damage than my lightning sentry?

Like, will I lay 5x death sentry instead of 4x Light + 1x death? Just curious about this.

EDIT:
My bad, I answered myself on my second question :lol:
Fire blast only gives +1 shot / 3 levels, not more damage!
My first question still stands though!

Spamming fireblast after traps is more damage than getting synergies, get an insight merc to spam non-stop and you can work with that.

You convinced me. Played a little with skill planner and am ready to try this.
Thanks!

I have zero experience with assassin :p
