Quote:Maxing Death Sentry, and 9 to a few other skills for boosts? That boosts DS blast radius, which makes DS more efficient.I loved venom but in the end I went tri-elemental in the form of blade fury (physical and static), WoI (fire) and DS (lightning). To stop monster regeneration, I used poison charms instead which wouldn't restrict me to just 0.4 seconds duration.
Flesh out a Fire Trap? You'd only get WoI to 17, or WoF to 18 and then have no room for Synergy boosts.
Further leaving shadowmaster at lvl 8-12 will give you more points for trap synergies. Fire blast adds good damage to WoI and increase the number of shots for DS (lvl 15 would give DS 10 shots total). WoI would more or less be satisfactory at that point at 1000-1200 since DS also adds synergy damage to it. Rest of the points can then be spent between lightning sentry as a synergy for DS or shadow master for a beefier minion.
The 20 points spent into traps instead of in venom seemed more worthwhile since they effectively boosts 2 different elements due to synergy whereas venom would stumble against poison immunes. The use of some poison charms would also go a long way to effectively increase your damage by stopping monster regeneration.
