sentry watch damage clarification

[sammastere]

<p>when sentry watch activates when a group member "dies", do we actually take the damage from the "kill" shot or do we just intercept further damage the toon takes after the death save?</p><p>and does the hate position and hate increase proc on the actual kill shot or just subsequent hits after that?</p>

<p>The threat procs when the other player dies (when they get hit by a kill-shot). I believe you intercept the remaining damage after the other player has been reduced to 1 HP, but I could be wrong. I've never bothered to mouse over the other player's HP to see, but it seems they get down to barely a sliver of life. For example: I can't recall a time when Sentry Watch proccessed when a player still had 50% HP, I took full damage from a kill-shot, and they remained at 50%.</p>

<p>yah was just wondering how dangerous sentry watch was to cast against mobs that have a massive ae....</p>

<p>I'm not sure, but I think it only works for 1 person (even if 3 players died at once to an aoe or something), and I don't think it even intercepts non-melee damage, but I could def. be wrong about that. I've noticed it doesn't seem to save vs DoTs, physical or magic.</p>

<p>Actually, sentry watch will trigger for more then one person, as long as they die at the sametime, Ive seen atleast 3 people saved by it at one time. Also you only intercept damage after the person dies.</p>
