Fire/Bio/Fire High damage.

[Nathaniel424]

Could someone help me out in mids? I Love blaster and tanks/Brutes, so why not mix the two?! I know sentinels can survive really well, but I could never get bio to be good unlike others. Could someone give me a build for a Fire/Bio/Fire with lots of AoEs and high DPS?

I can post the build I use, but it uses Psi mastery instead of fiery mastery, which has a ST hold on a shorter cooldown, and team def all buff. The psi damage also helps you to ignore enemy godmodes and hit them for full damage, such as minotaur/cyclops on ITF, marauder in Lambda, or Bobcat in Tinmage. The build focuses on recharge, hitting 125% from set bonuses, and does not build for S/L defense, because Bio armor offers so much in the way of healing, absorb, and regeneration that I haven't found it needed at all in practice. The build does have nearly capped Energy/Negative defense though. The greatness of Sentinel Bio armor really comes in with the unsuppressed movement speed which makes for a unique play experience compared to anything else.

If you want the Fire epic for thematic reasons, you can swap them out of that build 1 for 1 and get the same results stat wise. The damage will be less, but you don't come to Sentinels looking for damage.

Close, except for Link Minds, which will drop your all defense by 4.5% and 7.5% global recharge, but they're very similar. Fire Cages is very appealing in that pool though, as it expands your role and capabilities quite a bit all by itself. Keep in mind while it keeps the 30 ft radius, it has a 10 target cap compared to controllers' 16.

The nice thing about senti is you never really have to worry about your character being nerfed, unless they break them by touching the current iteration of PPMs, which has been said is something they plan to look at. Hopefully a buff will be coming to them at some point, either when they look at PPMs or by itself.
