So have they mentioned anything further about the passive?

I remember them talking about reworking the Sentinel passive midway through 2019, but I've been away from the game for a while and just starting to come back.

 

Have they mentioned anything about it since?

Not as far as I'm aware.

The passive is in fairly desperate need of a rework. On paper the AT sounds great. They are fun to level up. But once you get north of 40, life gets a bit frustrating compared to blasters, even with the defense.

 

Honestly I think this AT would be better served if the Primary sets were more like the Assault secondaries that Doms have, too.

Isn’t that a Scrapper?  Melee focused Assault primary, defensive secondary?

 

I may be missing the nuance of your suggestion, and I would love to hear it.

Scrappers don't get ranged attacks. Flip the powers a bit to make the assault sets have more range over melee and problem solved.

 

Either way, the passive needs a rework.

Dom secondaries are mixtures of ranged and melee.

 

I know some melee sets have ranged attacks, like claws and spines, but for the most part the Dom secondary sets have more ranged than that.

Focus and Shockwave from Claws beg to differ.

 

That said, I'd love to see an assault/debuff AT where the secondary is mostly PBAoE-centric and acts as armor.

I just want to run a Nature/Savage Assault Defender.
