[[File:IconSentry.png|left]]'''Sentry''' is a Devices [[Demon Hunter skill]] unlocked at [[clvl|levelLevel]] 2225. It creates a mechanical turret that fires arrows at enemies, working much like the Wizard's [[Hydra]] skill. Sentry has not yet been seen or tested, only described in forum posts and interviews.

==Skill Design==
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==
Also, if using the Spitfire rune on Sentry, then the Passive skill Ballistics will boost the rockets' damage by 50%

'''Sentry''' was first announced in a Blizzard tweet in early January 2011. <ref>[http://diablo.incgamers.com/blog/comments/new-demon-hunter-skill-sentry/ New Demon Hunter Skill Sentry] -- — Incgamers 8th Jan 2011</ref>
<blue>Demon Hunter is getting a few new toys. One of the coolest has to be the Sentry. --Diablo</blue>
It was explained in a bit more detail later that month: <ref>[http://diablo.incgamers.com/blog/comments/diablo-on-demon-hunter-sentries/ Demon Hunter Sentries] -- — Incgamers 19th Jan 2011</ref>
<blue>So the Sentry was given to the Demon Hunter. Is this identical to the Assassin’s sentry? I’m dying to know how runes change it. --NocturneGS<br>
The assassin sentries were more like stationary magic dispensers. The demon hunter sentry is more like something a spy would sap. --Diablo</blue>
Fuller details came in February 2011, when Jason Bender spoke about Sentry in an interview:<ref>[http://www.diablofans.com/topic/23770-diablofans-presents-the-male-demon-hunter/ Jason Bender and Christian Lichtner Interview] -- — DiabloFans 18th Feb 2011</ref>
<blue>So like I was saying, there are different kinds of traps and they are sort of the usual to some extent and then we have weird some stuff. The Sentry is by default your standard trap as you would expect, it’s a lot like Hydra. I will say that the runes will change how that works. <br>
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.</blue>
===Beta===
When the [[beta]] started in September 2011, Sentry was still 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 stayed at level 21). For [[Beta Patch 14]], it was re-classified as a Devices skill and moved to level 25.
