Icono04 Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 Months ago I decided to try a sentinel, and having never played with the Regen powerset on any AT this seemed like a good time to try it. Tried to find the best-possible ice/regen build here on the forum, but the only ones I could find were budget-ish builds. Not that there is anything wrong with building on a budget, but for this character I am willing to spend as much as it takes to get the best possible character. So I tried to make a high-end ice/regen build myself, and the result is that... well, apparently I suck at creating sentinel builds. 😞 Can any of you more-skilled-than-me players here in this forum please take a look at this build and suggest where it can be improved? The defense in particular is awful. A couple of design notes: - This character is mainly for soloing, in case that makes a difference. - Travel power should be Flight. - Needs to be usable for exemping down, so no incarnate powers included in the build.

oldskool Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 (edited) 5 hours ago, Icono04 said: The defense in particular is awful. Unfortunately, Regeneration is not a powerset that lends itself to high defense. The Sentinel is also somewhat handicapped by not having the breath of access to melee/smash/lethal defense bonuses that Scrappers, Tankers, Stalkers, Brutes, or Blasters have. In other words, your expectations on where this build can go may be a bit too high. What you have is about as a good as the defenses get without sacrificing your damage. Can you push more defense? Maybe a bit, but will impact your damage? Most likely, yes. If you want some more defenses, then maybe reconsider the slotting of the ranged AoE powers to full 6 slot Artillery for the 3.13% ranged defense. Try to build that one category vs all of them. Then leverage Hover to maintain range. You may be able to get around 28% to even 32% for range defense. If you really want to forgo damage, then you can probably push all the way to 45% of one type. If you want defense stacking, then this is not the secondary for that, sorry. Edited August 6, 2021 by oldskool 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omega Force Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 Tried not to mess with your powers too much. This build is different, probably not better. I threw away half your regen and recharge for +10 SLE resistance and 36% ranged defense (a small purple away from the softcap.) Hrmph. I never realized how defensively shit Regeneration is, and the sentinel version is supposedly the best. Maybe you can find a useful idea inside.

Icono04 Posted August 7, 2021 Author Share Posted August 7, 2021 Nice! Thanks a ton for the feedback, @oldskool and @Omega Force. I had dialled down my expectations to /regen already, but it seems I was still being too optimistic :) With the feedback you both gave, I can get a bit more out of my ice/regen - and now I also know what to expect, and that will help me enjoy this AT/combo more. My senti is quite fun to play - at lvl 20 so far - so I just need to understand what it plays like, instead of trying to shoehorn it into the same playstyle as the other, more common ATs. Thank you both 👍 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
