Blade Sentinel is most useful against tightly-packed enemies, or in areas with prolonged combat, due to its above-average duration compared to other traps.

Additional damage equal to 3/4 of the user's Weapon Damage is added to this skill. Blade sentinel does not trigger % chance to cast on striking nor % chance to cast on attack effects, and does not apply open wounds. It is dependent on attack rating although that's not displayed.

Importantly, Blade Sentinel damage is not calculated correctly by the character screen; the bonus damage is also multiplied by the equipped weapon's stat multiplier, as well as by off-weapon damage bonuses such as Claw Mastery(as long as a claw is equipped) or armor damage bonuses, but this damage bonus is not included in listed damage. Because of this, a high-level Blade Sentinel can do multiple times its stated damage. In addition to this, Blade Sentinel can Deadly Strike, boosting its damage further.
