Most of the Assault sets have few AOEs and/or melee AOEs, so that just make them worse then they already are.  However, I'd -certainly- would like to see an Earth Blast set of some kind, eventually.  Although, I could see that might be a little.. boring?  'I'm throwing a rock at you!'  '..Now I'm throwing an even -bigger- rock at you!'  'Oh?  That wasn't big enough?  Well, here's an even BIGGER rock!'  'You get a rock!  And you get a rock!  EVERYONE GETS A ROCK!'

 

Perhaps, instead of the T4 blasts that most of the sets ended up getting, maybe an extreme damage melee control-type attacks might have been a better option.  That way, we could have 2 good melee attacks in the high-end and fill in with pool powers for filler, if we wanted.

 

 

Earthquake(fall PBAoE), earth fist(single target ranged pushback), earth impaling spears(erupting targeted small AoE, hold), earth saw (cone of blades sliding across the ground vertically), mudslide(cone pushback), Boulder crush (single target with damage to nearby characters), diamond sword attack(single target resistance passing attack). A lot can be done with earth honestly.

Saying that, I kind of wish Sentinels had more melee abilities beyond the 1 we can get from the epic pools. Something more like the Assault sets for Doms.  I mostly like Sents because of the near invincibility factor and I don't have to worry about hugging the mobs to do damage. But! if I have a few hard hitting melee abilities and they're weren't a major hinderance to get in range to use, I'd use them.

 

I thought the class would be a hybrid.  Hard hitting melee/medium range blast/a hold/medium defense/some support.  Kind of like a leadership class.  Not the highest DPS but can hit hard at times and hold and blast agro breaking MOBS, provide some support to a group. Like a leadership class. Not sure how this meta would work as I just recently started playing.
