sentinel Sunsette's Guide to the Energy Blast Sentinel

[SmalltalkJava]

Wonderful Guide.    I see you have Radiation Armour listed as a NO-Crash armour T9.  I don't know if it actually does or not, but the character creation screen leads me to believe that it does.  I've never had a actual T9 armour set. so i don't know if it is a small crash or even a crash at all.

 

"When this power wears off you will lose a small amount of endurance"

 

-10.00%% endurance on self after 1m 0s delay

Ignores buffs and enhancements unresistable

 

-10000.00%% recovery rate for 10.00s on self after 1m 0s delay

Ignores buffs and enhancements unresistable

 

100.00%% resistance to recovery rate for 10.00s on self after  1m 0s delay

Ignores buffs and enhancements unresistable

Heya, Smalltalk -- thanks for the kind words.

 

I will update the guide to be a little more clear on what I mean by a crashing T9. While that can be reasonably understood as a kind of crash, traditionally what is meant by a crashing T9 is one where 100% of endurance is lost at the end. While you need to be careful using Radiation's T9, it is not a near-guaranteed death sentence for your character if it ends while you have the focus of an enemy's attention.

To add insult to injury, Super Speed -- unlike the free Ninja Run -- is subject to travel power suppression.

This is incorrect. Ninja Run is subject to travel power suppression, just like any other travel power.

 

I present this poorly-encoded WEBM as evidence.

All the recent talk of T9s and crashes made me reread that part of the guide.  Dark Armor and Fiery Aura are listed as having "soft crashes" for their T9s.  For other versions of those sets, the Tier 9 is the rez power.  Did something change in their conversion to this Archetype?

 

Thanks to everyone who's posting, as I'm learning something from the conversation.

You're absolutely right, I forgot to fix that earlier, thank you. I confused the animation still firing with the power still being active.

Dark and Fiery are listed as soft-or-no crash. They're in the 'no crash' side of that, and they're still resurrections, yes.

When reading over the Ice epic, slotting Frozen Aura with Call of the Sandman chance for Heal Self makes it a very reliable self heal while also adding to your aoe damage. I’d highly recommend it if you’re going Ice.

That's not a bad move at all, thank you for recommending it!

Updated to add a section on Force Feedback. It's possible I just talked myself into making an Energy Blast/Radiation Sentinel.

my girlfriend loves the Energy/Rad sentinel. Thanks for the build btw.

 

Why specifically have you might have talked yourself into Eng/Rad? is there something good?

It's very possibly the best possible combination for EB to take advantage of Force Feedback, and EB can use every advantage it gets. The added damage bonus from Rad's T9 would be a big improvement.

Glad that my build was able to help!

Nice guide Sunsette. I hope other people who write guides follow this format.

I thought I would post my build. I made this up for when I finally get around to playing her.
