I tried using helltrapper and I noticed a few times I had 6 sentries and one time I could swear I counted 7 active sentries.
Anyone else notice this?
edit: A bit of a confirmation, when I teleport to town it drags the sentries with me and I've seen 2 in town with me. I wonder if theres a way to really use this effectively.
I keep reading this about high dmg 2h xbows but i am just not seeing it myself. I personally have ran with a 2600 Buriza, 2550 Krider and a 2600 Calamity and Have found the calamity to out perform all of them. In fact I found that the buriza fail short of both. I get the Idea behind the weapon dmg and such but i don't think people fully take into account the sentry attack speed you gain from using a 1h or bow. Data is data i suppose but from play testing myself I just cant duplicate other peoples results.
I'm not talking about dps (the big number) but about the damage range (the little 2xxx - 2xxx under). Given the same dps, a 2hand xbow has way higher damage range than a 1h; sentries will fire faster low cost generators only (EA and chakram) while the CA and MS will keep their internal cooldowns independently from the weapon type.
This means that using a 1h will just make your MS/CA hit for a lot less, and the additional EA fired don't compensate for the loss until you manage to theach the 5 aps breakpoint, which requires kinda perfect gear to get.
