I'm relatively new, having been running around on Everlasting as my first COH experience for the past six or so months. After reading through all the info from various folks on this forum about Sentinel, Dual Pistols, SR and similar sets, I settled on the following build with my own personal tweaks and it seems to have performed well for me. I run solo 4/8 Radio missions in PI and Grandville primarily and fared well against the factions you typically encounter for those (Arachnos, Council, Carnival, Circle, Malta, etc.). I'd like to share this build and also get some feedback on any blindspots I might be missing in optimizing its performance.
Preemptive note: I am running pistols currently, but for most of my time with this build I ran dual wield and had adjusted executioner's shot accordingly. Pistols appears to perform better on paper in terms of both damage and endurance, makes it easier to maintain the Assault Core stacking buff, easier rotation, etc. I do miss dual wield's animation, though. The order of powers taken during level up is personal preference - I am rushing having my single target rotation and most of the defensive kit fully realized as soon as possible. I always run recovery serum so endurance is usually not an issue when it comes to grabbing all the toggles early. AOE attacks are de-prioritized as I tend to focus down the biggest boss threats first, oftentimes with a good chunk of any given spawn slept.
Anyway, hope for some useful feedback. Thanks.
