Elec/Energy/Elec Sentinel

[PyroBeetle]

I was asked to post this by request. I am not seeking expert advice. As built it is softcaped to S/L/E/N/F/C without running Barrier, with permanent Hasten and Energize, and at least 25% resistance to all. When I have the ability to run Barrier, I remove the Recharge/+effect Winter IO from Charged Bolts and replace it with a damage proc, I remove the Acc/Dam IO from Zapping Bolt and replace it with a Decimation chance to build-up, and I replace all but the Acc/Immob from Chain Fences with procs (Trap of the Hunter, three ranged AoE damage procs and the Annihilation -res proc). Sentinel's Ward is used in the nuke because it will proc multiple times starting every fight with about 30% absorb shield.

 

As they didn't post, I use Musculature Radial Paragon, Barrier Core Epiphany, Assault Core Embodiment, Degenerative Radial Flawless and Ion Radial Final Judgement.

 

Also something to note, while leveling I used the analogous regular versions of the Superiors, I also flopped Power Shield for Super Speed for exemplar purposes, and pre-purples I used Positron's Blast in Ball Lightning, Decimation in Tesla Cage and Obliteration in Lightning Field. It may be handy to flip Chain Fences and Power Drain as well, so that drained enemies stand there helpless instead of running away.

 

Build-up, Thunderous Blast, Chain Fences, Ball Lightning, Chain Fences, Power Drain, Short Circuit, Ball Lightning is how I open most fights, then pick off stragglers with Tesla Cage, Charged Bolts, Zapping Bolt, Charged Bolts.

Oh nice. I run a pretty similar build, though a bit lower budget. Still, a ton of fun. Perma hasten really keeps the attack chain going, and lets you cycle through single target attacks or aoes.

 

Glad to see I'm not the only elec/energy/elec out there.

Chain Fences, why?

[oldskool]

8 hours ago, DarknessEternal said:

Chain Fences, why?

 

Any number of reasons: 

 

1) It is an AoE Immobilize which mitigates some enemies running out of other AoE. 

2) Duration on said Immobilize is quite long.  

3) It is additional, relatively low overhead, AoE damage that can compound with Lightning Field.

4) It has a 30ft radius which is pretty damn massive. 

5) It can hit more targets than the normal cap for Sentinels.  

6) It can interact with Interface Incarnates. 

7) The OP is using it to stack S/L defense to soft-cap due to the set that is in it. 

8) More focus on AoE damage than single target.

[PyroBeetle]

I had stepped away from the game for a while, but everything that @oldskool says applies, but the primary consideration was the AoE Immobilize. It fills a hole that is inherent to the Sentinel. 

[Riverdusk]

Yeah, I had to check twice when I saw that 30 foot radius on it.  That is the same as the controller/dom version, same recharge too, very surprising.

 

Don't have one of these yet (but it is on the list to try), but from my experience when a mob can't attack due to recharge slows or endurance drains, they tend to run,   Having an immobilize is a good thing.
