It depends what mobs/content you are facing. A lot of your toughness comes from your clickies. If they are constantly on cooldown due to lack of recharge or stacked slows you can go down quite easily.

How about some cosmetic options to allow weapon user types to have their weapons appear on their backs when not in use? Or at least add some cosmetic options to backpacks for sword sheaths on the back or scabbards to belts. Cross swords, spears etc strapped to backs/sides would look cool.

Some more ideas. How about... Offensive/defensive opportunity becoming Toggles. Offensive toggled on gives all of your attacks a chance to debuf mitigation/defence but reduces defence/mitigations of the Sentinel slightly similar to Bio armours Offensive toggle. Defensive toggled on gives all of your attacks a chance to proc a PBaoE heal but lowers dps by 15%. Gives a passive regen/recovery boost or defence or something. None toggled on would give no buff or debuf at all. Or something similar to above. Having lower AoE targets and lower range should warrant the sentinel having higher dps than it currently does though. I would go as high as 1.1 even.

I found the Cosmic corsair Belt seems bugged. The Decorated 1 and 2 option are not showing colours on the front side.

Personally i would up the Sentinel Damage to 1.1 or very close to Blasters/scrappers. Scrappers have Crits and Blasters have damage buffs. A sentinel would be decent single target then but would have reduced AoE and range as it is now. The AoE and range debuff is enough to warrant higher damage. Or Make them like a Ranged Brute. start them low on damage and let it ramp up to blaster damage at the peak. Or Put them on Stalker damage and let their Crit chance go up as they fight similar to Brutes Fury. 1-25% or something. Remove the Opportunity mechanic. Let the defenders/corruptors etc do the debuffing.

The build is fine for normal content. But for the harder content the defence cap is higher at 59% i think. Defence debuffers will break through your defence and your 90% resists will not be enough unless you have backup. I know i run a Dark tanker with over 50% melee defence and capped resists and in an ITF they will take my defences down to where i am using my heal, which is FAR superior to electrics heal, quite a lot. If i did not build for a decent amount of slow resists i would also be shut down by the Dark Dwarfs and would eventually die as my attacks and heal would be locked out. But other content will have its own obstacles. I would rather have exceptional melee defence to cushion the defence debuffs than trying to build weaker defence to all types.

I don't see 45% positional defences though, i see 35% melee defence. Even with Barrier it is still only 40%. Melee will be your primary targets most of the time. You have other ways to deal with Range. Barrier will carry you a fair bit though. The build is fine though, go with what you want. The best way to find out is try it out in some of the tougher content then readjust where needed. I have a shield Tanker that is great against most content. Throw some psi damage in and yes i have defence but no psi resists and wouldn't last long. I could build resists to psi but i wont as that will gimp the rest. My solution is to have back up for those missions or bring plenty of inspirations 😛

Personally i would agree with Hyperstrike. I would go for more defence to melee and forego ranged defence. The more melee defence the better. The ranged attacks you receive will hit your 90% resists and you can always Taunt them or just move towards the ranged or use line of sight. Overcap to give you a buffer vs defence debuffs, it will make a big difference. I feel your build is trying to do too much Sovera and will fail because of it.

A few tweaks to your build. More Defence, Slow resists but the rest is similar.

I would rather have higher defences than a damage proc and 10% recharge but thats my opinion. You aren't at 45% softcap defence. The slows in ITF will reduce your survival and dps. The build is ok though. With a team supporting it and outside buffs it will do content fine.

With no DDR it is best to overcap a little. Do an ITF and watch your defences break. Time spent surviving or dead is zero dps. You are a Tank after all. sounds like you are trying to be a dps and a tank all in one. If you want to dps as a Tanker roll a shield or Bio or even Rad tanker, they have bonuses to damage.

Slow resistance is a little low. Slows will wreck you. Mine has higher defence.

I will say i have a Bio and Dark Tanker and they have 45-53% defence with high resists. In an ITF you will have defence failure and they will start to hurt you but you have heals etc to cope. My shield/SS tanker with 90% DDR can stand in the middle of a horde all day long with only regen, even with rage crash. One last thing. Why does going from Agility alpha to musculature boost the resists? doesn't say anywhere that i can see, that says it does this. Bug?

40% AoE defence isn't exactly a hole but there is always room for improvement. S/L resists are every where in sets, easy to overcap. Took me 5 minutes to do that you can spend longer and build how you want it. I guess you want musculature? but dont underestimate +recharge it will increase your dps and survival. Sounds like you know what you want. Build it 🙂 I was just furthering Statics build. I will add this one.

Yes i just presumed it was a Scrapper as it is in the Scrapper forum. Shield defence is one set that offers good DDR. Other than those with inherent DDR in sets, ageless is the only way i know to boost DDR.

Nice. I do think you could lower some of your resists though as the Tanker proc will cover them and concentrate elsewhere like health or more defence maybe.

90%+DDR is achievable on my Shield tanker with double stacked Active Defence. If the DDR is same for Tanker and Scrapper then that is quite easily achievable. You don't need ageless to get this figure. I would think a Scrapper could build high defence but you won't have the Tankers resists, inherent and from their ATO. I build for Slow Resistance also as stacked slows will kill you fast and stop you fighting back also.

One thing i noticed on my Bio/SS Tanker was the offensive Toxic damage bonus did not increase when i hit Rage. The damage buff does not buff the Toxic damage, whether working as intend i don't know? Could be that Rage doesnt increase Toxic damage at all.

Shield/Dark melee would be good if you like dark melee.

Bio, Rad, invuln, dark etc are all amazing but so is Shield. 90%+DDR for Shield Defence and good resists(especially on a Tanker) is pretty nice. Not a lot gets through.

Could Shield defence be ported over to Sentinels also? Instead of Shield Charge it could be Shield Throw/Toss. It would be a ranged attack that bounces between targets similar to Chain induction in electric melee but with shield animation, longer cooldown and higher damage. Phalanx fighting could just be a small auto defence buff. Grant cover could work for ranged team mates. Against all the odds turned into a frontal cone +damage maybe or a +damage buff on a cooldown. Any other ideas that could work? Or bad idea? Some Shield throwing attacks would be cool also. A Shield Toss primary set to go with shield defence would be awesome. Captain america Style 🙂

Offensive for the extra dps boost if you have nothing to fear and no endurance issues. Efficient if you have endurance issues and want survivability. Defensive if you want to tank up but i find efficient is enough most of the time. You can switch stances quickly to get benefits if you want extra regen/recovery for example from efficient stance with your heals then switch back to offensive. Entirely up to you and what you need.
