Sooo...ive been away for quite some time and I understand Sentinels have had another (small?) pass from the devs? Maybe I am mistaken but if anyone out there has some build advice for sents that isn't over 3 years old, id appreciate it! Some things that I do need to have though: Fly, all of the elec powers if possible (though I can remove short circuit I guess but why do people skip lightning bolt? I love that power), all the Regen powers...that's pretty much it for the must haves. Anything else for the build that would make it better would of course be wanted. I am looking I think for a mix of Def and Res but will lean more towards Res I think. I primarily solo, but will team up with people if/when necessary. I am only lvl 35 as of this writing but im looking towards endgame and just dont trust myself with all the IO's and what they synergy with. Thanks in advance and if there is something that is unclear or needs to be clarified, please ask. P.S. I am relatively poor but can afford some IO sets but trying to play the ol AH never seems to go well for me. 😞 🙂

While I respect your opinion I already have a regen and would like to play as one. I also personally do not like willpower as a powerset. I tried it and just didnt like it. If it worked for you thats great! I have no interest in it myself.

Cant argue with that logic for the most part. Take them out before they take you out. Course then you fight that mob who seems to laugh at your pathetic attempts and waltzes on your faceplanted body...its rare but happens to me with alarming regularity it seems. :) i have rotten luck. :P

Oldskool, Appreciated (though I cant see the build being not near mids) but I will take a look later today. I get my budget is going to be a factor of course. As long as this build helps in getting to a point to do endgame stuff (or beyond) im happy. If possible, if influence isnt much of a factor, a build to go for would be nice but if this build as i said gets me to endgame and beyond I can work on building up my bank. :) I'll have to work on getting those accolades.

Ahh, so many things I forgot! Okay let me answer those. 1. Mostly solo but teaming when I'm able too. 2. I'd love to go toe to toe with AVs, though I know that a few can be nigh impossible without the right build or even powerset. 3. Mostly post lvl 50. 4. Powers I dont want...this char. is pretty flexible so I would say no. 5. Purples are fine but I'd like a alt for them if possible (they pricey and I'm poor). 6. Winter sets are fine if that's the only option. (See #5).

So here I am again after a pretty long hiatus but I came back when I found out they made some changes to Sentinels. I have been doing pretty good thus-far (only lvl 31) and I like how he's progressing for the most part but I need something with a end of game build idea. I really have no experience or in depth knowledge in how to create builds sadly with all the IO's available. Ideally I would like to stay at ranged but have enough +def to be able to avoid both melee and ranged hits. I want hover and fly in the build and I do have Combat Maneuvers. I plan on taking every power in the regen pool but if I should drop one it's not a huge loss. With the Elec powers though, I tend to have ALL of the powers unlocked. Frankly I like all of them and don't want to skip on any one of them if at all possible. IF I need to remove the first power however as long as I have the second up due to faster recovery I can work with that. Sorry if the post sounds needy/demanding. I just wanted to give anyone out there as much info as I could in regards to what I am trying to achieve. I would like damage to be as high as possible but if I have to sacrifice some for better defenses then so be it up to a point of course. Epic pools are totally open to whatever. Thank you in advance. :)

Yeah, i had thought about the performance shifter one...sadly its going for 4mil at the moment...way out of my price range. I probably will end up getting Tough though. I havnt checked on the Unbreakable Guard one though. I swear every time I try to play the market...it looks at me and laughs while taking the little influence I have. 😞

Hello again, I have been wondering when is a good time to start selling these SO enhancements and get into IO stuff...just regular IO things that is. Not the sets since, honest I cant afford a full set of pretty much anything at this point unless it drops for me. I have been told that lvl 25 IO will carry you all the way to 50 (not sure about that) or that I should wait till lvl 30 IO's. What does the Sent community think? Is there an IO set that is of low level that I should at least think about getting right off the bat? I am only lvl 24 and maybe have 1.3m inf due to a generous soul.

Yes, WS's do get a bit of an edge on them a bit. PB's though...have it a bit tougher.

Ahhh many thanks! I knew about the arrow but didnt see the +- ones...thats what I wanted.

I knew how to do this in the live days but I cannot for the life of me remember how to do it on Homecoming....how did you get more than three trays of powers on screen? Oh and congrats on the solo TF! 😄

Hey Sable, what would you suggest to place instead of the purples (im not THAT rich) sets you have in the various powers?

oh totally what with the XP mods you can "buy" and such. I already am sitting at 34 now.

Sable, Yeah, I think you might be correct in this. I think I will do exactly that.

ahh see that is the exact opposite of what I would want to do. I plan to be in my human form for the most part and only go into Dwarf form as a "oh crap" moment. I do not want to spend most of my time in dwarf form.

My budget is...a little bit above a Common IO budget I think. HOWEVER, keep in mind that right now I dont need something that is too expensive but as to your doing IO builds early its never to soon to start thinking about them. Right now I just am looking for something that is at my current level and a guide on what powers I should be taking now, and how to start slotting them. I guess the powers that must be in the lvl 31 build are Dark Dwarf, Gravity Well, Starless Step (i think thats the enemy teleport option) and any shields I might need for surviving in Human form a bit more. If I can start on the IO builds early though then sure!

So after leveling with a few teams and getting to lvl 31 on my WS I am now wanting to go bi-form. Problem is I have no idea how to build him currently so that he actually is survivable outside a team. The thing that I would like is the Dark Dwarf power. I dont want to do Dark Nova and as I am only lvl 31 cannot do endgame builds just yet. Eventually I am going to turn him into a HF WS but leveling wise I would like to go with Bi-form (dwarf). So can anyone suggest a good lvl 31 build utilizing Dwarf?

Yeah I might have to bite the bullet and use the tri-form until a certain point then respect to bi-form. I have no issue going lobster for a few moments but I HATE that squid look. 😛

Currently my PB is just sitting at lvl 14 and hes going full human form. I have not started up my WS yet though but want to.

Provided of course that you can hit the mob. My PB at one point was whiffing on ever single attack he tried and he had ACC enhancements slotted into his attacks and it was an even level mob. Whiff whiff whiff whifff while the quantum looks at me and says "hold my beer" fire *stun* fire *dead* I raged quit after that little experience. Now, to be fair, I was pretty low level but the fact of the matter is that I always have difficulty when dealing with quantums no matter what level I am. I want to play a WS since I still love their power looks but any advice for PBs will also work out well. I know they will be different of course due to powers they can employ.

So on live I played a WS for a good while, I loved the attacks and the look of the powers and got to a pretty high lvl with him before the game shut down (I think 42 or something). I tried to play as a bi-form (human/dwarf) build since I detested the squid look but thats my personal preference. One thing always got me though and those were those DAM*ABLE, FU**INK Quantum's that appeared in the mobs. So please, other then then answers of Get Gud and other such nonsense please help me to understand how you mitigated this threat to our energy seafood selves. I am looking for a strategy to help with dealing with these mobs as they can two shot us pretty fast. I was playing a PB at one point and I got shot, stunned and then shot again and died. The next time I kept whiffing the mob and it pretty much hit me constantly even eating greens it just kept hitting me all the time with no misses. Luck obviously had looked at me, laughed and discarded my charred remains into a nearby dumpster. So yeah, not having a good time with my kheldians this go-around. 😞

Good to hear and yeah I just wanted to get some opinions and I knew they would all be random and different depending on who is giving them. I am thankful for all the responses though as well as the advice. 😄

Hmm...what would it take to get Fire Breath and Fire blast back in there? I kinda like those two power choices or would it mess up the build to have them?

Interesting...i will have to get rid of Flight and sub in the speed but that isnt necessarily a bad thing (unless vertical movement comes into effect) but I will deal. This looks to be quite a cool build. Thank you!

So I am now lvl 38 on my Fire/EA toon and I really am having a lot of fun with him. I have not gotten any IO sets on him yet but was wondering when I do hit 50 what should I start going for (and saving inf for)? I really don't know how to do builds effectively. Obviously I am going for damage but want to softcap the def/res aspect as much as the powerset allows me to. Any build, even a startup one, would be helpful. I just need some direction to go in as what sets should I prioritize vs what shouldn't i even attempt to put into the powers.
