EDIT: SORRY FOR WALL OF TEXT

Alright, Since ive been asking about lightning sentry in 2.1 since... well yesterday when the notes were released :P...
#1 Why not use kindershot + EA - Ball lightning as generator...
#2 why Use RoV... Ball lightning + CA is more than enough to wipe out trash, and put in impale (ricochet) for better single target dmg... the dmg of impale was buffed... not to mention with sentries shooting it..
#3 why Guardian turret vs impale turret???
#4 assuming RoV gone, any reason to keep Nat's? If not, put Mara Helm in there, add in TnT, it opens kindershot slot, along with a SoJ slot



Way I see new Lightning Sentry being Ran...

Actives:
EA - Ball Lightning (Hatred Gen + Possible Sentry Shot)
Impale - Ricochet (Single Target + weak mobs)
Vault - Tumble (Defensive skill)
CA - Dazzling Arrow (Stun + AoE dmg/Trash clearing) OR Multishot - Fire at Will
Sentry - Impaling Bolts (bonus lightning dmg added)
Companion - ??? (Does it really matter with M4 pc set??)

Passives:
Perfectionist (defensive)
Awareness (i like smoke screen... how about you?)
Custom Engineering (more turrets = more CA + EA + implae/multishot...)
Ambush (Help with that early burst)

Gear:
Mara helm (duh)
Mara shoulder (duh)
Dovu Energy Trap (Stunned = GREAT)
Mara chest (duh)
Tasker and Theo (New sentry attack speed buff....)
Reapers Wraps (easy craft)
Thundergod's Vigor (Return lightning dmg + % lightning dmg)
Wyrdward (NEED MOAR STUNS)
SoJ/RoRG/Unity (RoRG fits best because you can use TnT; SoJ is nice for % lightning and elite dmg; Unity for solo play, well yeah)
Mara pants (duh)
Kindershot (Hello EA...)
Bombadier's Rucksack (more turrets... see above haha)
Mara boots (....)




What about a build like this in 2.1???
so far in PTR its wrecking... and that is WITHOUT the majority of major pieces (still need 5th Mara, kindershot, thundergods, TnT, and dovu)

Its nice, but I wouldnt take natalya set,
use instand - andi 20% light, soj 20% light, and some nice 2 handed xbow

he is trying to utilise both set bonuses so this isn't really great advice

I figured that, but its not that effective imo ~

ofc but its not always about how effective you are sometimes you just wanna have fun and RoV gives some cool visual effects

It's not the worst by leading off with RoV and then having the Sentries stun. I have to play around with the build a little and read more into it, it's just stuff I had lying around on the mules.

Did bounties on T5, was a little slower than Fire/Physical ofc but can still kill. Can't wait until the weekend so I have more time to tune @_@

A real dh freak there

Only DH, Crusader, and a zDPS Monk made with their findings

Honestly hate playing all the other classes, have had a WD, Wiz, Barb, all with decent T4+ gear and I've disliked their styles enough to salvage them all and delete straight up rofl

Really excited for Cold DH and the RoV Rune, will find out a lot more when I download PTR this weekend (if I have time)

After scrapping the Poison DH all I have left is a Zookeeper DH build with Helltrapper, T&T, Garwulf, etc. Then I might move on to my Monk to finish the Raiment Set.

only play DH here rest of classes are boring

tried to play Crus Wiz and Monk but they're all boring lol

used to play barb in HC Vanilla tho that was fun although that build has disappeared
