Share a Sonic/Elec sentinel build?

CFIndustries · December 19, 2021

Anyone have a sonic/elec build they'd like to share? Bonus points for flight as the travel power. 😉

CFIndustries · November 30, 2022

Well it's that time of the year again, time for Harpy Holidays to awaken from her slumber.

I see once again I have picked an oddball combination…no one here has a Sonic/Elec sentinel build they'd recommend?

Feel like I'm going to have to frankenbuild something based on two other builds; not ideal but wouldn't be the first time.

Anyone care to save me from that fate?

Why wouldn't that be ideal? Hell, I do this quite a bit when I am looking for inspiration on how an individual set works.

Because the reason I come here for builds is because I couldn't build my way out of a paper bag. Beyond simple SO/IOs, the rest is beyond me. 😉

Sure I do make small tweaks (I want a flyer, the build is a speedster, simple stuff like that). I know how to use MidsReborn to that end, but mashing two separate builds together always makes me feel like I may have missed a synergy or done something sub-optimal. And I don't like to respec alot, prefer one-and-done (or build as I go, starting at Level 1 so I don't have to respec), and builds posted in the forums have been really good in that regard.

To be fair, it's fine because I'm not technically a min/maxer and if I a build is slightly less-than-perfect I'm okay with that generally. I just like the fancier Set builds created by more knowledgeable folks because they are more fun than basic IO or SO builds.

In fact, I roughed out a Sonic/Elec sentinel last night based on power choice recommendations from the Sentintel Review thread. It'll do barring anything posted here soon.

A good start point as a build goals would be: S/L resist cap and also +Def (at leas ranged) softcap. Then i would go for +rech mostly to get your heal back as soon as possible. The only achilles heel of Electric armor is the slow recahrge for healing in my opinion. My TA/Elec Scrapper was built with the goals mentioned above and can run any end content without issues.

"Soon" may not be that soon.

If you want, you could post your build and others could help you navigate your way out of the paper bag. 😉

I think helping you with what your concept is, as it would be in MIDS, is going to be FAR faster than praying on one of the 5~ posters in this subforum actually playing your combo.

CFIndustries · December 1, 2022

The general gist is she is literally a screeching Christmas Harpy, so flight is a must. I didn't bother with Hover since one of the Electric Armor powers (Grounded?) requires being on the ground.

Honestly Havoc Punch/Paralyzing Jolt/Rehabilitating Circuit/Shockwave were because I didn't know what else to use those 4 powers (Shockwave was skipped on the advice of the other build I referenced, but I added it back here since I had room). So I'm not married to those four.

I am a very thematic player so trying to stict strictly to flying, screaming, and electricity for powers/visuals (hence Electric Mastery as my fill-in).

Not adverse to patron powers if necessary, though would prefer to avoid the whole "go from blue to red, run the patron arc on easy, come back to blue" routine if possible.

Not married to the order of powers except one: Flight at Level 4 (I always pick up travel powers there).

My first time under the microscope, so be gentle. And don't get numbers centric: I get the gist of caps and such, but I don't have any aspirations to learn the specfic details and memorize what all the sets do and spend hours on this. Specific suggestions (replace X with Y) or you'll only make my eyes glaze over.

oldskool · December 3, 2022

You may want to swap the sets in Scream and Dreadful Wail.

It looks like you did yourself a disservice in saying you can't build your way out of a paper bag. The build seems fine; good job!

CFIndustries · December 19, 2022

To be fair, I just used two of the reviews from the Collaborative Project: A Guide to Sentinel Sets thread and mashed them together. Most of the credit goes to @drbuzzard; the reviews were solid info I could use to make intelligent choices.

If I had to start from scratch, well…that would have probably made my brain explode. 😜

I did make some small tweaks right near the end, but she is basically just as the build above shows.

Harpy Holidays has now made it to 50 and is working on incarnate stuff. She's turned out to be quite a loud, enjoyable little terror to play. 🙂

drbuzzard · December 19, 2022

Honestly with the sonic updates, I'd have to go back and redo all my advice. The set has changed a great deal. Howl is now the weak sister of the cones, and you really don't want to skip siren's call (very good damage).

CFIndustries · December 19, 2022

Yeah, she still plays okay and I'm too lazy to respec. I also wish I had put Shockwave in sooner; with KB-to-KD I find it quite useful as a way to defeat all the low-health stragglers after using Dreadful Wail.

Considering my low-brain approach, I'm still very happy with how she turned out.

Meknomancer · December 19, 2022

Its not much but some def is better than none, looks like you skipped reactive scaling piece 🙂 Might look like recharge is worse but theres an ff+rech in shockwave. Resists look about the same. Tried to stick with your picks but sirens song is superior to howl now and buys you breathing room:
