Charged Bolt Sentry - A synergy skill that makes our Chain Lightning Sentry much stronger.Moreover, it is also great for dealing single-target damage which makes it perfect for fighting bosses.

This is a synergy skill that boosts our Chain Lightning Sentry.

Shock Web - Throws a web of lightning to shock your enemies.

For this build, we focus on Chain Lightning Sentry and its synergies to maximize our lightning damage output. The abilities we take are extremely powerful and have some incredible properties (for example, they deal high AoE damage and 'aim' themselves at approaching enemies). This skill tree is the main focus of this build.

Energy - Adding points to Energy is an extreme waste - don't do it.

Vitality - You should put all your remaining points here - main stat.

If you do go for max block, you will have to spend enough points here to achieve it (don't do that without proper gear).

Dexterity - If you're not going for max block, you only need enough Dexterity to meet gear requirements.

Strength - All you want, in terms of Strength, is enough of it to equip everything you will want to use on your character.

Less mobility than its main competitor build - Chain Lightning SorceressĪfter the Traps synergy changes, it no longer specializes in dealing multiple types of damage You can also check our other Best Project Diablo 2 Builds Season 4 note: Because of the Chain Lightning Sentry synergy changes (Death Sentry changed to Lightning Sentry as synergy) the build has lost some of its versatility, however, it's still capable of dealing high damage and remains a solid choice for end-game farming/mapping. Despite this, it is a solid S-Tier Build according to our PD2 Tier List for Season 2 that can be found here. This build's main source of Damage is lightning-based Traps which means that it will be less effective in zones that are dominated by enemies resistant to this element (this weakness is not that big and can be overcome with strong gear). While everybody knows the Wake of Fire Trap Assassin, its brother - the Chain Lightning Sentry Assassin is much less popular, despite being more versatile and, in some cases, much stronger. They shine in all types of content and can achieve unbelievable clearing speeds. Trap-based Assassins are among the strongest Season 2 Project Diablo 2 builds.
