Cap speaks the TRUTH. I also think it comes down to what you want to accomplish. Do you want to just output a ton of damage right away? Go with a Blaster. Do you want to be a nearly undying Electric God who basically keeps entire groups endurance at zero so they can barely fight back? Go with the E3 Sentinel. In my (admittedly brief) experience so far, the enemies will slowly be "arrested." It will take more time than a blaster, but it is inevitable. All the while being MUCH safer. Plus, it's just a ton of fun to play.

Man, I just got my Invuln/SS to 50 and now you're making me want to roll a Invuln/DM 😂

haha you're a legend Infinitum, I appreciate all of your advice you give so free on here!

You’ve been an advocate of DM and Invuln pairing for some time, and it DOES make total sense. How do you feel the combo works on Brutes? Is it just a superior pairing to run on tankers?

I guess you can KIND of fill the Footstomp on the Invuln/EM with Mighty Radial? 😂

Also, do any of these combos (outside of /bio) fair better against AV’s? I could see Dark/Rad doing decent.

Thanks so much Cap! I’ve been scouring these forums a bit and have read a few of your posts, so super happy to see you chime in! I think Elec/Elec/Elec could be a good way to go if I want to build out a tankier Sent. Perhaps swap in EA. If you ever have any builds/recommendations for those combos, I’d love to see them =]

You’re a muse, Oldskool. Appreciate you!

It’s been quite a while since I’ve played MA, but I recently rolled at StJ/Bio scrapper and it is a beast. If you go down the forums a bit, you’ll find a thread discussing STJ on both a Stalker and a Scrapper. The long and short of it is, it’s great on both. Better burst on Stalker, more sustained damage on scrappers.

Hey all, So here I was, tanking for an ITF, when this Elec/Elec Sentinel has the GALL to leap frog me between camps and tank some mobs herself. All that being said, I was very impressed 😛 I'm looking to build a Sentinel myself, and I've settled on either Elec/ or Dark/ as my primary. Both are thematically cool, as well as seeming to have pretty good synergy with the Sentinel Archetype. That being said, I'm not sure what secondaries have the best synergy with either of those primaries! Elec/Elec sounds GREAT, but I just want to make sure I'm looking at all my options and not overlooking anything. Would any of you Sentinel Savants be so kind as to let me know any secondaries you feel have a really good synergy with either of those 2 primaries?

Quick Follow up on this: What incarnates do you usually take with your build?

haha yeah man, still so torn between the 2 primaries. I might just have to go into costume creator like you suggested and see what pops up.

haha I bet it was fun while leveling though 😛 Claws is fast and frenetic.

Oh nice. I thought, if I went with claws, I'd have to slot a KD ->KD in both. Good to know.

Appreciate this insight, ty! Good to know about the T8 and T9 in Claws. It seems like I'll get more AOE and control in claws. Bonus of Kat really seems to be the +defense for a bit more tankiness.

Good to know. I mean, a satisfying "crunch" is an important factor as well haha.

Hey heroes! Specific question for you Scrapper Studs and Studdetes (can I coin that term?) out there. I'm looking to build a second scrapper after LOVING my Stj/Bio @nihilii shared with me. I'm looking at /Rad secondary (since it seems pretty well rounded and has a T9 that is actually worth taking). I'm just trying to determine which primary to pair it with: Claws or Katana? Both seem really cool and could fit the build with what I'm trying to make. I've only rolled Claws once, as a Claw/Elec Brute. Haven't messed with Katana much at all, besides seeing a buddy play his one a lot. Do either one of these primaries offer a specific synergy with /Rad? Anyone have input on either or? I'm looking for a hero that will be good at general content, but also have a decent time against AV's/GM's. Thanks in advance all!

You mind sharing your build? I have an EM/EA Stalker who I love. EM/Bio scrapper could be solid as well

Appreciate this man! Mids isn’t working on my Mac 😕 do you have this extracted by chance so you could paste it?

Appreciate you sharing this!

Yeah, I feel like Kat definitely has a nice feel and flow to it!

Absolutely man. After that thread, I leveled a Water/Cold to 50 and I’ve been loving it. Ice/Cold would be amazing as well.

10/10 would read.

This is very similar to myself. It's nice being able to have a hero for every situation, based on what that mean may need for that particular TF/SF/Trial. Also, as a father of 3 now, I don't have as much time to grind every single hero to 50. I've PL'd a handful, and I have 2-3 heroes that I consider my "slow level" ones that I keep around for running story arcs with some buddies. I feel it's the best of both worlds!

Keep me in the loop on the Sentinels man! I've always been interested in their archetype as kind of a "ranged scrapper."
