Thorns would be a good start, maybe scaling thorns for the team based on opportunity bar? that would be a unique mechanic i think and might help tankers and brutes hold threat? Idk but it sounded cool to me.

Stuff like Touch of Lady Grey chance for negative energy damage. Parts of sets that produce a chance for damage on an attack. DP can slot a whole lot of them. If you are using mids you will be able to see that most abilities can slot 5 or 6 with dp.

To bring dp into playable damage numbers you will need to use procs for your attacks. That being said it will still be low dps compared to almost every other set. Almost.

I would think a grav/something with a sword dominator for force throw and such

Any dominator on a team with a threat anchor should only immobilize after the mobs have congregated just so you dont have runners. If you are opening up with it then you should take a step back and ask if you can be more effective.

Necro/thread

If a question in answered in a well fashioned manner then a necro/ is warranted.

The epic pools is where I feel the sentinels shine. We have the much OP mind probe/domination combo that does crazy st damage or any number of AoE heals/utilities.

I have a water/ice I run and it does incredibly well. /ice is a great noob friendly set. Can skip most of the abilities and the AoE slow aura is enough to hit people from range.

ranged def cap, almost perma haste, more resist than you can shake a stick at! also does great dps. I am not someone who has a whole lot to say at any given time but I do love to make builds and I do believe this one will serve anyone well. Blaster - Archery - Tac arrow.mxd

Yeah if you are going at it the fun way of leveling confront is about the only skippable ability.

On a tw/bio I skip defensive sweep. It just isnt needed once fully built.

I hate the rain skills a ton so I pick sets with AoE that better suits me like archery. Lots of AoE potential in the set and the nuke isnt one it is just a powerful aoe on a 14 second cd once kitted out.

Waaaaay too focused on D and not enough O

The chain mechanics are smart chains. If you start the chain on a pet then it prioritizes pets then people and vice versa. It is really easy to keep an absorb on all of my pets at once as thugs/elec at level 50 while doing 4x8 content. Also I am not sure where this misinformation came from but PETS USE ENDURANCE. Watching right now as my thugs end bar is being used up as they fight and cast. 1 energizing chain and they can all spam again.
