Hello all you wonderful brutes! I’ve been leveling a Spines/Bio Brute as an Alt so I can take a few hits to the face instead of just sitting back and blasting. I’m getting real close to 50 now, and i’m Starting to think about IO sets and builds. Unfortunately, I’m a bit out of my element... Does anyone have a strong Spines/Bio build they use and would share? Am looking to get a reference point to form my own build, but starting from zero in Pines has me just lost. Am looking to get myself tacky so I can sit in the middle of things with my 2 dmg auras. Am thinking Resist is the easier path for Bio, but am lost enough to not be certain. Any and all help is appreciated! Thank you!

One change to Opportunity which I think would make the AT better overall is turn it into a stacking debuff on target. Every attack gives a stack to the target. Each stack is a -Res/Def debuff. Get to X stacks on a target, trigger an offensive bonus just for you. Get to Y stacks, trigger a defensive bonus. Switch targets, lose all stacks. AoE attacks put stacks on only a mob with stacks already (if included I AoE) or your target (for targeted AoE) or strongest mob affected (if no stacks inside and no target). This rewards a specific style of play (“Keep focusing down one enemy”) while keeping the team play (“Hit my target for better attacks”) and keeping the offensive and defensive opportunities fairly intact (while taking them off of specific attacks for those that either skip those powers or actively use them).

Hello you fabulous Sentinels, I’ve been playing around with builds for my Water/Bio Sentinel and I came across a puzzling opportunity (ha) that I was questioning. /Bio has an Auto Power that increases movement speed and resists movement debuffs. A pretty ‘meh’ ability altogether, but the debuff resist is nice and being faster than everyone is cute. But when I was playing around with possible builds, I realized that I could slot travel sets into this power - Including the Stealth IO. Am wondering if anyone has tried this yet and found if it works or not? Does this give a semi-PermaStealth as the power is always on?

Would it be possible for a macro button to share the recharge timer for the power it's associated with? Aka - If I have a Macro for Whirlpool, it'll show the recharge timer for Whirlpool after I use it?

I’ve got a pretty toggle heavy build between Bio, Hover, and Leadership. Lots of endurance drains. Right. Ow, I use Defensive to fill my Endurance back up if i’m low after a few fights. I’ll typically need it once out of every three Opportunity procs.
