Hey, As promised, here's a copy of the build I put together for my Elec/Elec Sentinel. For all I know others might have something "better", but this one is best for me. Mad props to @Scrapulous for helping me work this one out.

I have an Elec^2 I've gotten up to about 48 now. She's a lot of fun, and I've started kitting her out with set pieces so she's getting to be quite tough (or at least on the road to that point). I'll post a build later tonight. Short answer: you'll probably want every power out of the secondary, and almost everything out of Electric Blast (I skipped Voltaic Sentinel). Add in some travel pool choices and the Fighting pool (one presumes so anyway), and that takes up most of your "slack" for power picks. Fortunately, so far it's been my experience that the APPs for Sentinels are much more skippable than on other ATs. Later, Generator

I know one thing a lot of people like to harp on is "mitten hands." Which, yeah, don't look great. But if I'm being perfectly honest, when I'm out on the streets punching down bad guys (or, depending on who I'm playing, good guys!), I don't have time to stop and look at my characters' hands! That is all. Have a great afternoon.

Gods yes. I mean it's great that we can do what we do, get a fresh 50, give him any and all the IOs we could ever want, but if I want to just test out my guy as he is on Indom right now, an actual copy tool would be twenty times easier.

Of course, thanks. These are the perils of speaking when I'm away from my game PC and Mids. 😁

Ice Armor is all Typed defenses (as is Energy Aura, and the Defense portions, of Invuln, and most of the others I can think of). If you want positional defenses on a Sentinel, I think you're looking at SR or bust. (Melee ATs can also use Shield for that, but that's not an option for Sentinels.)

Thunder Strike is he only one of the lot I skip in my Elec^3.

Add my voice to what I suspectare the many who find this idea too counterintuitive. Fifteen years of thinking about slotting and recharge just got tossed on its ear.

I finally set this up over the weekend, and it's lovely. Thanks a ton.

Were these tanker changes discussed anywhere already? I'm quite curious.

Okay, next time Justin is in play-money mode, I'll try doing it that way. Thanks.

I was able to level myself to 50, get craptons of Inf, all the IOs I wanted. But I had no Incarnate threads/components/Merits, and couldn't figure out where/how to get them. I'm sure I just missed it, but I don't know how to get those pieces.

Sure, but last time I was on Justin, it wasn't release candidate, I just didn't know how to get Incarnate stuff.

How does one get free Incarnate abilities on Justin? I did try speccing out a 50 a few weeks ago but I couldn't get her any Incarnate stuff.

The only one of that lot from the Kahn TF that I find to be a problem is Misfortune, she seems to present as a MC/Psi, and the combination of Terrorize and Drain psyche is not good times. Beyond that I love this method.

Um, what?

Afaik that's just once per character.

WAY!!! 😁 Kidding aside, welcome back. Now, go. Hunt. Kill Skuls.

You kinda sold me on this, thanks.

It's appalling to me that that's a thing that happens here. If I get asked that one, the answer will absolutely be, "Yes, I have two."

Okay, where is it falling down? Can you get the Shield Charge to work, for instance?

I have a few unused concepts from back in the day that could certainly become an Ice Sentinel, but now I want to take a look at the powers and see what the specific difference is from Tanker version of the set.

Does the Sentinel version even have icicles? I think in a lot of the other similar sets, the damage aura is the one that gets lost on the changeover to this archetype.

I don't know from an update to mids' numbers. By the time I noticed this last night I was nearly incoherent with fatigue. Sapper tactics, I don't use them all the time but I find more use for them than some other folks do.

Hey folks, So I've got an Elec^2 Sentinel with whom I'm quite happy. She's a refreshing change of pace from my Elec^3 Blaster. But I noticed something late last night, and wanted some feedback before I made any changes. On the aforementioned Blaster, I always used Short Circuit slotted for End Drain instead of damage, figuring I had enough other attacks slotted for damage that I could use the utility there. But by definition the Sentinel is a bit leaner in availability of attacks, so I'm trying to be more "efficient" with her. While I was in Mids last night, I realized that Sentinels' damage value for SC, well I won't call it great damage, but it's not nothing. It's almost the same value as Rad Blast.Irradiate is for Sentinels, and you wouldn't slot Irradiate just for Def Debuff. So I guess what I'm asking is: for those of you playing Elec/* Sentinels, are you slotting SC for damage in the manner of a standard PBAOE attack? Thanks for your time. Later on, Generator
