A "full reroll retcon" already exists: just re-roll it. Not even gonna touch the insta 50 thing AGAIN.

It is truly a Sadie's Choice. 😏

Huzzah!

Hasn't helped @PeregrineFalcon 😛

No. We already had this conversation about summoned enemy things 15 years ago. No mas. Something about how the decoys work, maybe fix the despawn on defeat part sure. Also who the hell are you and why are you necro-ing the entire board? 😛

Oh and yeah, Forum Cartel was 10K posts. Which, if you got banned, you lost. RIP Friggin' Taser

Congo rats. I myself never quite made the cartel, so. Slip me some sugar while you're there ey?

Well, like Power Transfer and Synapse's Shock would be the template here: one goes more end mod, one caps damage.

Oooooooh. Good call.

Would you also maybe want two sets? One that skews more toward healing, the other damage? Maybe one with a DMG proc that does DoT (bleeding), one with a chance for...some status effect. I haven't had coffee yet.

Exactly! Provides utility to sents when teaming they don't currently have, and can only improve the soloing adventure.

I'm with you. I feel like I have to post every new build I try out as "yes, I know it's not softcapped. No, I don't care." Not everything has to be functionally immortal to be fun.

Did nobody see my "add taunt to the blasts" thing? I feel like I was really on to something there.

Uhmmmmmmmmmmmmm. Scrappers existed before IOs, I mean I'm not *that* old yet.

What, you don't speak Troo? That's kinda their SOP.

Moar knockback. Kidding. Sort of. For Sents...you can't increase the secondary effects of the blasts without including Energy's KB, which of course would lead to apoplexy. What about adding an inherent taunt to each blast power instead? Higher than other ranged DPS, Lower than any melee. That actually could establish this so-called "mid line" in a fight that I'd argue doesn't actually exist in any way right now. Obviously, taunt is dumb and complicated and that probably can't be done at the moment but it might prove spicy enough to work and fix the "my armors are useless on teams because literally nothing tries to hurt me" problem.

Sonic Resonance. Not sonic blast...

That's not how stalkers work now. Read up on their inherent and the Stalker ATOs.

Iron Man can blow up a building. Sentinels would be lucky to blow up a cardboard box.

I've played one sentinel, to 35. My take on this particular question is: ranged solo with Mez protection. That's it. Far fewer players; just like a lot of HC's changes, were implemented for a player base of just the tiniest handful. Folks wanted to pew pew by themselves and not have to deal with Mez. That's it. Sentinels were to pew pew while solo and survive. My sent couldn't generate enough aggro on a +0 ITF to die and it was frustrating as all hell. Soloing on low level but higher mob size took too long (and I couldn't die), and the same with high level but smaller mob size. Raise the DMG scale on all attack types (not target cap), give opportunity a scaling -res debuff on all attacks, and switch the blasts for Assault sets, and I think you have a quick and clean solution. The inherent provides value solo or teaming, and the player feels like they're contributing in a meaningful way.

As someone who stole the regional One Act Play of 2002 as The Player, I second this motion

Somebody's gotta get this man some fuckin' wassail before he burns the whole thing down.

Sure, you can hit a +50 mob 100% of the time...for 0.0000000006% of the damage you'd deal to a +0. There's your trade-off.

When would a squishy *not* need Mez protection, in the grand scheme of things? Yes, nerf it. Nerf it in the name of across the board evenness. "Permanent Mez protection at level 16!" Wouldn't everyone and their uncle be using this set if this power was *that OP*? Oh, there are hardly any Affinity users, I'd wager? Even if Clarion is standard for all Squishies? Ultimately it won't matter to me, personally, as I've shelved the toon and won't play it until Faraday is a toggle, but... Who honestly gives a shit if it's unique? Sonic's not unique from FF, other than the def/res part, and nobody seems to care.
