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.

Easy to cap s/l with 50% res on any build though so I don't see defense as an issue. Have a ele/kin and it it super strong. Just cant see archery doing worse than one of the lowest blast sets.

I have a archery/device blaster that is a ton of fun. It makes me want to try an archery/kin corruptor. It seems that the good AoE of archery would benefit nicely from 400% bonus damage.

Been watching my thugs all day and they 100% run out of endurance. So #2 is going to be a dps boost by proxy.

thugs/nature seems incredibly strong ill post the build i'm running if you +5 your enhancements for CD in haste then you have perma haste and are less than 3 seconds off Overgrowth which is a huge damage boost. So far I am finding it a very impressive combo. Mastermind - Thugs - Nature Affinity.mxd

Crab build- all ranged T4 muscle T4 reactive T4 hybrid 1:30- 553 dps straight up not my build. Arachnos Crab Spider Soldier.mxd

Hrm this is on my dark bio I made back in may name Destlin and he cant take it. I guess I'll have to wait and see if my dark/ea can once at 50.

Small update AG cannot old the purple proc. Do believe this is a server mistake and not a mids issue. Will adjust and report back.

See this is why I post things on here. Yeah I overlooked the accuracy issue but I'll make some changes to fit tactics. I'm going to try and get it to 50 and fully slotted with t3 incarnates this weekend. I will update this with a couple thoughts on it then for good or bad.

All this talk on the forums about proc builds I finally decided to make a proc monster.I started off trying to build this toon toward softcap defenses then thought better of it. It is dark after all and the to hit debuff plays really well for offense as weird as that sounds. The less defense you have to build for the more global recharge and offense you can slot. This is the current toon I am leveling and am very excited to test this one out on the pylons. There is perma Haste and Perma Fortuna pet. The numbers seem solid but I often overlook things. Let me know what you think as a dps toon. Sentinel - dark-EA-SOUL3.mxd

Necroing this thread but I wanted to put it out there for anyone reading this from the future. I have had amazing experience with dark/energy aura/soul. Getting to 40% all defense except psi and still doing more than my fire/rad sent. So /energy might be something to think about for dark.
