Sentry is an Archery Demon Hunter skill unlocked at Level 21. It creates a mechanical turret that fires arrows at enemies, working much like the Wizard's Hydra skill.

Background
The Demon Hunter throws a sphere onto the ground that fires arrows at nearby enemies.
Skillrune Effects
The following is a very quick summary. See the Sentry rune effects page for a more thorough description of rune effects, or any of the individual rune pages for numbers, screenshots, blue quotes, and much more.

Skill Design
The skill works similarly to those found in the Assassin's set in Diablo II. It is a trap of sorts that fires arrows at enemies. It's not known if the Sentry will go into action as soon as it's cast, or if it only activates when enemies move into range, as the Demon Hunter's other traps do.
It is assumed that much like the Wizard's Hydra, players may only have a set number of traps and/or Sentries active at once.
Synergies
The following Demon Hunter passives provide a benefit to Sentry, runed or not:
| Skill | Unlocked | Description |

Development
Sentry was first announced in a Blizzard tweet in early January 2011. [1]
It was explained in a bit more detail later that month: [2]
The assassin sentries were more like stationary magic dispensers. The demon hunter sentry is more like something a spy would sap. --Diablo
Fuller details came in February 2011, when Jason Bender spoke about Sentry in an interview:[3]
I don’t want to get into too much specifics about the runes yet, because those are still in development. But you have seen what the runes can do to the Wizard and what kinds of things it can do specifically for the Hydra, but with the gadget theme we can do even crazier and funkier stuff with gadgets, because we’ve learned so much from running for the Wizard’s powers that we can take a lot of that knowledge forward and take some ideas off the shelf and put those into things like the Sentry.
Definitely though, there are a ton of traps that can shoot out ranged stuff that can track you and then there’s traps that cover the ground and if you step on it, it’s going to hurt. So, the vanilla version of the Sentry is just what you expect, it’ll just shoot arrows.Skill tiers were removed for the July 2011 Press Event, and Sentry became a level 22 skill, but was soon changed to 21. The skill system was once again overhauled for the Beta Patch 13, and Sentry was classified as an Archery skill (but still level 21).
