I did not build for Ranged Defense on this because I started from a different mindset.  Yet there is little doubt he will be trying to avoid melee, he will be in close.  I also PROC'd a couple powers, another thing I usually do not do.

 

Any opinions are appreciated.

So Lancer Shot and Disintegrate are your bread and butter attacks. I'd put the Apocalypse set in one of them to draw more damage out with the proc. Reason being that Lancer Shot has a 100% proc to trigger the Disintegrated spread damage, so you should be using it often.

I'd drop Piercing Beam unless it's purely for muling. 

I'd move Sentinel's Ward to Overcharge.

I'd move Opportunity Strikes to either Lancer shot or Disintegrate. You should be using both of these extremely frequently and they have a higher chance to trigger that proc than Charged Shot.

I'd drop Tactics entirely unless you intend to exemp down a lot, Invincible gives you a +10% To Hit buff and you already have Kismet. You'd probably be better off with Assault, especially since we now have a juicier base damage.

No Gaussian's?

Though one thing to note on beam rifle is that the DPAS numbers listed in character creation are dead wrong. They assume disintegration is active. It looks far better than it actually is. 

I never go by those.  I do randomly look at MiDs when deciding the best spot for sets.  I obviously chase set bonuses. Are MiDs more or less accurate?

Mids uses the same numbers as the in game character leveling stuff. It's derived from the same DB, but just makes certain assumptions. 

 

I managed to make and level to 50 3 BR sentinels before I noticed that other primaries did a lot better. BR isn't bad for AOE work, but the single target isn't all that hot, even though it looks like it. I guess I need to update my DPAS spreadsheet now that sentinels have been upgraded. Theoretically I should be able to do it with just a simple multiply damage by 1.1/.95.

Here's the spreadsheet updated. It's mostly just single target attacks (unless the AOE has good DPAS).

So something you're not accounting for is that Beam Rifle has 2 bonuses going for it. Disintegrate grants a stacking 12.5% bonus to damage (probably a bug from the copy+paste coding like the smashing damage bonus in Ice) (I probably shouldn't have pointed that out), and both Disintegrate and Single Shot have a regen debuff. Obviously one is only relevant in single target situations, but every bit of health a mob isn't regenerating is an indirect increase to dps. These two bonuses plus the Disintegrate mechanic make Beam Rifle a top tier set.

First: I don't play Sentinels, I'm no expert, but with the changes recently, I think it looks fun. 

 

I took a stab at some of Underfyre's suggestions. Here is what I came up with. I feel like I missed some things, suggestions are welcome, and thanks in advance.

 

A few explanations might help.

Single Shot slots a Force Feedback. I think here it will actually get used, rather than in Kick. And if you wanted, you could slot one in Kick also.

Aim gets Gaussians, but is there maybe a better place to put the second slot? 

Dull Pain: I don't usually use the special enhancements, but this looks interesting.

Leadership: I felt like it drained too much endurance, so I took it out. Made a small difference to DEF, but not much. Was that a mistake?

Hasten: Try as I might, I can't get it to Perma-Hasten unless the Force Feedback in Single Shot Procs. I think I'm ok with that. I think Single Shot will be a regular "filler" attack.

Refractor Beam looks interesting with all the procs. 

Invincible: Suggestions for a better way to slot this? Does it make much difference? Is this ok?

Hover: I think I could free up a slot if I didn't go "Hover Blaster" and just use it to mule the 7.5% recharge. Where is a better place to  use the second slot in Hover, or is "Hover Blaster" perfectly ok for a Sentinel?

Electrifying Fences gives me a slow, but decent PBAoE, and I can slot in another 10% recharge reduction set (and the Chance for Hold might be funny if it works).

Unstoppable is either a wasted power or an "oh s***" button. Suggestions and guidance here is welcome. 

And last but not least, what are suggestion for the Incarnate Powers?

The problem with regen debuffs is that you need to know the inside baseball before you count them much. AVs resist the heck out of those rebuffs. Thus a 12% debuff is fairly meaningless. Against mooks, it doesn't really mean much either, they don't live long enough to regen. It's pretty good against EBs and monsters, but that's about it. Though really, just go buy some envenomed daggers if you want regen debuff. They are a much higher number and are quite cheap. I imagine the -regen is considered important in the pylon crowd since they don't resist debuff and are not subject to purple patch since they are always even level. 

 

Actually the most interesting thing from the patch notes, that I've not seen discussed is how the vulnerability debuff is listed as not subject to purple patch. That's really quite a huge improvement over before. Considering +3 is .65 and +4 is .48 for your debuffs and damage, not having it almost or more than chopped in half is a big deal. Not having your effect chopped down hard means it's always a good buff to your damage. I used to do the math to math for sentinel/blaster comparisons and when you've got stacking purple patch applications it really hurts.

Personally I am running in alt circles again (when i play).  Beam/Invul Sent, no wait AR/Dev Blaster….but then Dark Blaster, but then Dark^3 Corruptor.   Each seems to logically (for me) to lead to the other.  But then I am unsure where I ended up or why lol.  
 

Ah, the game is still adding new twists

 

And still frustrating the crap out of me with Dark not being what I want it to be lol

I haven’t played my beam/inv since the changes. Beam is fun though. 

The damage was lackluster.  I alted back to a Dark Dark Corruptor.  This is where I see myself over the next year mostly.  

 

Just last night I joined a PUG Penelope Yin +1 "crawl run"  There were issues.  People maybe (definitely) not playing optimally.  We get to the last boss fight and the team starts dying.  Now, again, I'm on a dark dark Corr.  Not a heal bot, plus this team like to spread like they were all Brute players at heart.  (I should talk) Anyways half the team is dead and I go into overdrive, pop a purp, slamming debuffs, dropping AoEs.  Then all the team is dead but me.  And there is a WALL of Freak Tanks and the AV.  Literally jogging toward me.  I actually lasted a couple minutes (at least more than one!) before they put me down.  We all Hosp, reformed and lazily finished it.  

 

My point in bringing this up is the survivability of the Dark Corr, in that and most situations, will be average with a Sentinel.  In my opinion.  To Hit Debuffs are very real.  Stormtroopers cannot aim.  And the Corr does more damage than the Sentinel.  But it has been pointed out by smarter minds than me this game can be run by 7 Corruptors and a Tank.  Anything else is slightly less than that.  I paraphrase, but you get the idea.
