[Fire/Storm Build Critique]

Hey all,

 

This is my first attempt at putting a build together in a long time. I was able to get Melee/Ranged/AoE defense all to slightly over 37%. Would just like to get feedback to see if anyone has any other ideas, preferably on eeking out more defense, although I feel like 37 shouldn't be terrible. I didn't realize how slot intensive it was to get some of those def numbers so high (especially melee).

[Favorite Sentinel combo]

I have a lv.50 Ice/Ice/Psy thats one of my favorite characters to play at the moment. I know people tend to hate on ice armor, and it does have its holes, but I've enjoyed my run with it so far. I did drop the two +3% defense IOs into it and run Maneuvers and Hover. With energy absorption up I run at around 37.5% defense to s/l/e/n and capped resist to cold. I took the alpha slot that boosts end. mod/recharge/defense. I only play on teams and usually theres multiple maneuvers or other buffs so I'm often over the 45% defense cap. I open with aim and blizzard+ice storm so theres usually not much return fire. 

 

I'm in the process of leveling up an Elec/Energy and its been pretty fun too.

 

I think sentinels are my new favorite class to play when I don't want to play my usual support characters. 

[/Ice Armor Sentinel Question/Bug?]

Thanks for that breakdown! I had assumed it would work as the original tanker version and that the defense buffs would stack. I guess I would more so look at this as an endurance bar refill power that gives 4.4% defense to all once slotted.

 

Thanks again!

[/Ice Armor Sentinel Question/Bug?]

Hi all,

 

Rolled my first ever sentinel as an Ice/Ice, I've always loved ice blast and wanted to give Sentinel's version of Ice Armor a try. However, I recently got the Moisture Absorption power. It says that it is a targeted AoE, with an 8ft radius, and a max target of 5. The ability also seems to be auto-hit, as it can't slot Accuracy.

 

Every time I use this power it only hits 1 target, no matter how close the targets are herded/grouped. From its description it seems as though it would be a 'Consume'-esque power...giving a certain amount of endurance and defence per target hit (up to 5). I have never gotten it to give me more than its base defense at 1 target (somewhere around 2.7/2.8% I think). 

 

Is this a known bug? Does this power really only affect one target? Does it give a defense buff only based off one target (would seem to be much less useful if so)?

 

Please let me know if I am doing something wrong.

[Returning Player Help finding Granted Abilities]

Thank you all for the great information! It is much appreciated. I definitely have a lot to re-learn and a lot of new power sets to try out. Thanks again!

[Returning Player Help finding Granted Abilities]

I am a returning player (haven't played since the game went down in 2012) and I was hoping to get a few quick questions answered.

1. How do you go about getting the fast travel/teleport abilities (Ouroboros portal; whole team teleport; fast travel to mission)?

2. Is there a portal to go to Cimerrora (sp?) -- I can't remember how to get there either.

 

Thanks for any help!
