Need advice on Water/Energy Sentinel

[Shock Star]

So far, I've crunched the numbers in mids for this powerset combination and tested it out on the beta servers. So far it looks good in testing, but I wanna know how I can make it better. The offensive powers are great with the exception of whirlpool, which promises high cold DoT but feels a little lacking. As for defenses, this character is very hard to hit and very formidable in the tests that I usually run on all my newly minted Lv 50 characters.

I feel like I can do better than this, but I have no idea how...

[Underfyre]

So Tactics, hard pass. I don't know if you took it to shore up some perceived chance to miss, or to 4-slot for the additional 9% accuracy and E/N resists. If it's for the resists, you skipped Power Armor. If it's for accuracy sake, you have 58% in global accuracy and everything but Dehydrate has ~59% in enhanced accuracy. You're not hurting for hit chance. Grab a Kismet if you're worried and get Power Armor back.

 

On Dehydrate, it's a shitty heal and a shitty attack unless slotted for procs.

 

Tidal Forces and all the other aim powers give very little back when slotted. Gaussian's proc and a recharge IO are sufficient. Or even just Gaussians.

 

Put 2 slots in Hasten.

 

Water is known for its AOE prowess and you skipped 2 of the big hitters, but you're also hurting for slots, so just dropping Power Drain and Overload will not do the trick.

 

Hydro Blast is pretty weak with a very long cast time. It can also be dropped.

 

Here are my changes. Still over defense cap, lost 20% recharge. Gained Dominate and tons more offensive output. Made sure all powers are maxed at 95% accuracy before defense debuffs are applied. That's why Dehydrate and Water Burst don't have 5 procs. Steam Spray has 1.2 base accuracy and applies a defense debuff, to technically opening with that would grant the hit chance to bring the rest of the team up to snuff. But it's there before that comes to bear anyway.
