A bit late, but real life is keeping me busy. If you are going to be soloing a lot, then Smoke Grenade can be useful or you'll need to range pull more. Especially in Kallisti Wharf. Dart Burst is inherit problematic for a melee Fort, because you need to step out of melee to use it. I would swap it for Spin, which is much more useful in melee. Also, TK blast will randomly KB mob from you. I only take it for the Force Feedback recharge. If you want a good ranged attack, look at Gloom. I prefer the Guassian Build Up proc in Aim. A few tricks to increase defense. Two Blessing of Zephyr give you 1.25 ranged defense. Look at four Shield Wall pieces to give you 4.5 eng/n eng resists.

project Collaborative Project: A Guide to Sentinel Sets
KaizenSoze replied to Sunsette's topic in Sentinel
Nice write up on Psi Armor. I will quibble about one thing. Clarion Radial should be mention as it boost both the end drain, not recovery, and the absorb. -
Trick Arrow/Beam Defender. Not the quickest, but you can just stand back in hover and pummel the spawn safely. Lots of -tohit, AOE damage, -resist, and large AOE hold that provides status protection.

You have enough defense, I personally would prefer more resists. Fort are vulnerable to getting 1-2 shot, but that is preference. Unless you are only planning on playing this build at 50. I would move Psychic Wail to level 28. You want that as soon as you can get it. It will be the majority of your damage. Also, you should get Aim. Aim + Follow up + Psychic Wail = most of the spawn dead. On teams, I have found Confuse to not be worth it. The mobs are usually dead before it's useful, unlike Aura of Confusion.

Early impressions -- best AT/experiences with Psionic Armor?
KaizenSoze replied to lightpunch's topic in Archetypes
My Sentinel lives in melee range to maximize Aura of Madness. There is no reason is shouldn't work well on melee toons. Devour Psyche is great against groups that cone when buffed with Clarion Radial hits a lot of targets. The resists can quite good, except Toxic, plus the quick recharging large absorb backed by those resists makes for a durable build. An absorb which is also buffed by Clarion Radial. The defense is the only weak part, no enough DDR, which means is useless to build for defense. Build for resists and absorb and it works well. -
You're right, I do have it on my Sentinel.

I have a almost fully built out Elec/Psi Sentinel, with the four accolades, just missing one T4. Since, Sentinels get Electrical Blast they are uniquely able to benefit from Devour Psyche's long -recovery. The problem with all melee primaries is they don't have a strong AOE end drain. Even if you were to go for maximum endurance drain in Electric Melee's best draining power, Chain Induction, using Musculature Radial and Clarion Radial, you only get -30 end drain per hit on the primary target. The chain jumps do not drain endurance. So, it's going to take multiple hits unless you go full end drain on multiple powers. I think Elec/Psi Stalker would probably be the best option as a melee. Other notes from play the sentinel a lot. Building for defense is useless, you don't have enough DDR to survive any defense debuff. Especially with the ever increasing heavy -defense mobs keep getting. Build for absorb, resists, and controls. Primarily the first two. Devour Psyche is really good for pulling on Mother Ship Raids, the long debuff keeps them following.

Combat system Travel powers Teaming optional, but enjoyable Almost never mandatory tedious grinding like other MMORPGs

Yes, it's fun to actually be challenged by the content. I think there should be more random large ambushes in missions. There should be a more defend a point missions like the Terra Volta respecs.

Future plans to add to horizontal progression
KaizenSoze replied to hardicon's topic in General Discussion
Until the dev balance content against the current incarnates. I don't want any new ones. -
Added some LFG macros.
-
I only maintain Devour Psyche, Memento Mori is only for emergencies and a IO mule. You do have to keep Devour up with as much stacks as possible when leveling. You'll need to keep some blues on hand. I leveled this char without recovery amps or temp powers. Sentinel is probably the best newbie AT, since they are effective on SOs.

That's easy, it's the one you are in.

I have this tool that might work for you. It break each play session into separate files.

It's awesome with Electrical Blast on Sentinel. -
People will assume it's blue unless you state otherwise. Red side generally knows this and will put in "red side" or something like that.
-
The kinetic free of the combat system. Bad balance issues in the end game.
-
If this helps with calculation from my parsing tool. It is normal for Judgements to be number one damage dealer on any AT. Elec/Psi Sentinel. All IOs, but not all T4 incarnates. Apex-Tin mage TFs with a full team.

Let's talk about Sentinel's inherent (Vulnerability/Opportunity)
KaizenSoze replied to SenTheFortress's topic in Sentinel
Or they could the Trick Arrow route and make part of the debuffs irresistible. Say 5% of the debuffs. Or allow 2-3 stacks. There are number of simple changes, that might have big effects. Also, the Chance For Opportunity proc, should give more points towards the bar.
