My main is also an E3 Sentinel. Arc Havoc. Amazing toon. Tough. Good damage. Unreal sapper. Mobs just stand there blinking at me. Never understood the malaise around Sentinels. Yes, they are not UBER damage or Defence. They sure are fun though.
Damn. I’ll have to test that. Saw that when I was trolling around at Tank Secondaries. I got excited thinking I would finally roll a Staff tanker. So Sky Splitter isn’t doing any more damage?
This. My Elec Sentinel floors mobs. I can run solo missions without my resistance toggles running and barely notice. GM’s, AV’s and such don’t really work without help. Don’t really focus on it on teams because mobs melt to quickly. My build isn’t “optimized” for drain either. Pretty decent damage. Great regen and recovery. Fun toon. Something different than just SMASH!
Elec/Elec/Elec Sentinel is fantastic. I play one as my main/badger. The damage is fairly descent. Not blaster level but good enough. It is unbelievably tough. Added bonus, Aim improves your -end powers. It is a very fast sapper. Most mobs just stand around blinking at you with an empty endurance bar. Even Bosses. Enjoy.
