Bill Z Bubba Posted October 17, 2021 Posted October 17, 2021 Someone want to tell me why a pool power attack has better DPA than the entirety of the sonic blast set? Oh.. my bad. Mind probe is a better DPA attack than every single primary attack power there is for sentinels except zapping bolt, blaze, and bitter ice blast. I realize this probably isn't news to a lot of you but I find it horrific. 2 1

SmalltalkJava Posted October 17, 2021 Posted October 17, 2021 (edited) Yeah 😊. A lot do. The saying is that the best Sentinel primary is Psionic Mastery.

ThrillMill Posted October 29, 2021 Posted October 29, 2021 Far off topic and apologies for the thread jack but does there exist; in this thread, a group of Sentinel players willing or able to embark on the 801's? Just Sentinels.
Linea Posted October 29, 2021 Posted October 29, 2021 I'm really busy IRL, so I'm barely in-game lately ... but if you can catch me in-game (Everlasting and Excelsior)... I solo* up to 801.6 +4x8 with my Sentinel, and lead groups up to 801.A. I usually swap if it goes higher than 801.7 as teams get exponentially less reliable as soon as you hit 7 and above. *I don't have enough firepower to complete above 2 in the time allotted, but can tank 6 pretty comfortably, and take out one group at a time just up to the edge of 7. I can probably do 7 +4x4, but not full +4x8. 1 AE 801 (link) is a variety of missions for fun and challenge, and is designed for a team of 5+ Incarnates.

aethereal Posted October 30, 2021 Posted October 30, 2021 801s are a series of AE missions that @Linea created to be extremely high-challenge. They are VERY HARD. 801.0 is the easiest, and then they go up higher and I guess maybe after 801.9 they go to 801.A? Not sure, haven't been keeping up. I played one of them, once, in a group led by @Linea, with my twinked out ice/bio stalker and I faceplanted like five times before I adjusted to how to fight in an environment that was much harder than normal CoH, it was humbling. 3
ThrillMill Posted October 31, 2021 Posted October 31, 2021 Brothers, let us revel in the glory that will be our triumph over these 801 missions. Who among us will alter the fates and lead us to eternal victory?

Liable to get rekt in these sorts of missions but I'd love to try all the same. Toss me your global so I can find you? Maybe we could try a run tonight around 9 EST?

Bill Z Bubba Posted November 1, 2021 Author Posted November 1, 2021 ThrillMill, BillyMailman and I cranked up 801.2 at +2/x8 and, as expected, didn't have much trouble after several spawns, so assuming that these are designed for max diff, we dropped out, reset for +4/x8, hopped back in and made it through a few spawns before Billy faceplanted, I faceplanted and lastly ThrillMill's SD Tank ate some dirt as well. Always a good time taking new folks into those and I'm looking forward to seeing what the new hardcore mode will dish out for us. 1 1

Underfyre Posted November 6, 2021 Posted November 6, 2021 I dunno, generally a set needs a nerfing when it can be played poorly and still excel. I don't know what happened, but it doesn't sound like he excelled. Sentinel DPS Spreadsheet Sentinel Builds, fifth post down
