You picked a nice sent combo to begin with. Second (this is just my opinion) the sentinel At is basically just a scrapper running ranged attacks instead of melee one. Its easy to get sidetracked into thinking it should be played at range but the epics once taken usually change your opinion and you realise they become much more effective in melee. Open mids, click slots/enhancements- set all relative levels to +5. Now look at meltdown (which you left running) and you'll see the 3rd rech io is wasted once its boosted to +5. Toss that in hasten. You want a lot more recharge. You skipped particle shielding, its a great power for the aborb-taking alphas, and the bump in regen you get which means you don't need to use the heal as often. Looks like you used a full set of annihilation, good for e/ne res but the f/c/aoe def does nothing for you when its not stacked with other sets offering the same defence. Seems like you went for a lot of ranged defense using thunderstrike and artillery pieces, 2 of my least favourite sets which sacrifice the ability to slot procs, which you want in sents as damage isn't great and slow resistance which /rad armr really needs. I still run psi epic on mine but i play it as a scrapper first rather than a blaster so my melee def is up instead of the ranged def. I don't think much of the fire epics on sent's, its nice to toss out cages and rain of fire but if you compare the recharge and radius of powers like fire sword circle to psi shockwave you realise how some are far superior to others. I'll post the build but with different epics+power picks i'm not sure how much help it will be: Spoiler This Hero build was built using Mids Reborn 3.4.7https://github.com/LoadedCamel/MidsReborn Level 50 Magic Sentinel Primary Power Set: Fire Blast Secondary Power Set: Radiation Armor Power Pool: Fighting Power Pool: Speed Power Pool: Leaping Power Pool: Leadership Ancillary Pool: Psionic Mastery Hero Profile: ------------ Level 1: Flares (A) Superior Sentinel's Ward -

Raserei Posted April 24, 2023 Author Share Posted April 24, 2023 (edited) Thank you for the notes and build.. it's much better. The thunderstrikes are extra I have from another toon, I figured I would replace them down the line, plus they are cheap. Honestly the character is still mid level. In general, should I be going for resist/recharge/defense/damg? (in that order?) Edited April 24, 2023 by Raserei Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In general, should I be going for resist/recharge/defense/damg? (in that order?) Depends how you play, i'll pick the powers/travel i want first then start tossing in sets to see what i have before shuffling stuff to get what i want in this case melee defence high enough not to go splat when i hop in a mob with resists to back it up->slow resistance+recharge, you want enough recharge for an attack chain and enough slow resist so that you can keep it running (there's tons of in game mobs that can apply slow debuffs)->damage procs because sent damage is underwhelming if you straight 6 slot full sets. If you look closely at the set bonuses you often find the 6th is essentially useless unless its stacking with other set bonuses providing the same thing. Found an old fire/rad/fire build, you could swap cremate for rain of fire with a ragnarok set for same bonuses but it loses the single target attack chain, fire blast/blaze/cremate, i just don't find fire epic as good as either psi/dark/elec but its a better fit thematically. Inferno slotting is just leftover pieces and could easily be changed/swapped over with fire sword circle or maybe a full set of oblits for more recharge and melee def: Spoiler This Hero build was built using Mids Reborn 3.4.7https://github.com/LoadedCamel/MidsReborn FIRE RAD FIRE: Level 50 Magic Sentinel Primary Power Set: Fire Blast Secondary Power Set: Radiation Armor Power Pool: Leaping Power Pool: Fighting Power Pool: Leadership Power Pool: Speed Ancillary Pool: Fire Mastery Hero Profile: ------------ Level 1: Fire Blast (A) Superior Sentinel's Ward -
