Electrical Blast-Psi Armor Sentinel, capable of soloing 4x8 Kallisti Wharf

[KaizenSoze]

First Sentinel in awhile, but this one has turned out well. Born out my frustration trying to build a blaster that could handle 4x8 KW mobs.

 

Leveraging the power and long duration of Devour Psyche's -recovery, 45 secs, combined Electrical Blast ability to zero out endurance quickly this is a good, fast, sapper, with good durability outside of sapping.

 

Good on teams, because you can be very aggressive and be right in the thick of things.

 

Solo at 4x8 do have to play smart, corner pull, and use inspirations sometimes, but it's better than several other non-Sentinel squishy AT combinations I have tried against KW mobs. 

 

Durability is a combination of fast recharging absorb, decent-good overall resists, some control through Aura of Madness, and rapid long duration sapping. I completely ignore defense, as the available defense is small and no DDR. So, most KW group just drop me to negative defense at 4x8 in one hit even when I tried to build in some defense.

 

Downsides, you need to watch your endurance while leveling and keep as many Devour Psyche stack going as you can. Build has some expensive sets, but you can slot up build over time. SOs work just fine leveling and at 50 while farming Incarnates and sets.

 

You might note I use Clarion Radial, it boosts the absorb, endurance drain, and the controls.

 

I'll post some video of it in action soon.

 

7/6/25 Update, I have the four base accolades. Finding out MIDs is off on several values.

Max HP: 1873

Max HP with Memento Mori: 2088, Clarion doesn't effect it

Psychokinetic Barrier absorb: 713

Psychokinetic Barrier absorb with Clarion Radial: 1002

Smashing resistance: 71% rather 60% from Mids

Switched to Combat Jumping and Super Jump. Just didn't like Teleport.

Two videos of the build in action.

• I don't think I used any inspirations
• Mistakes included, like forgetting to fire Opportunity and having trouble getting back through a door 🙂
• Took on two groups before everything recharged. To show the build works without having to wait for incarnates
• Mobs that get sapped and hit with Devour Psyche stay sapped for a long time
• A number of mobs are mezzed including bosses
   

4x8 Freaklok

• Note the Eidolon on the right hitting with radiation attacks. Each hit would have gutted my defense if I cared about defense

 

4x8 Vanguard

• 15-20 Energy resists, so takes longer to kill

Please, post your build when you're done. I am pretty new at building Sentinels. I mostly play VEATs.

Does Aura of Madness actually do anything you notice?

It's only about 1-3% of my total damage. I do see the mezz effects quite often. It has a host of debuffs too.

 

You can see it stun a Vanguard boss in the video all by itself.

How would this powerset be for a newbie?

Electric Blast is pretty straightforward, but Psi Armor can be annoying with needing to continuously refresh two different clickies to maintain the buffs and debuff resistance.

I only maintain Devour Psyche, Memento Mori is only for emergencies and a IO mule.

 

You do have to keep Devour up with as much stacks as possible when leveling. You'll need to keep some blues on hand.

 

I leveled this char without recovery amps or temp powers. Sentinel is probably the best newbie AT, since they are effective on SOs.

Would it be good for a speedster?

Do you mean speed running content? Or the concept of a speedster?

Sure. Not the concept I have for mine, but I think something like Synapse or Neuron would work.

Almost fully built out with T4, all four accolades. Really fun effective build.

 

Updated the build slightly and posted some numbers that MIDs has wrong.

[Heatstroke]

They need to have an option remove those stupid skulls on the powers.. Not everyone wants that. nor does it fit every theme

[tricon]

IMHO the Electrical Blast primary on a Sentinal is soooo good that it can carry any armor set through the game.  Bonus points if you have extra powers which further enhances the endurance drain and negative recovery  effect.

Vet 37. Devour Psyche is a great pulling tool. The long debuf duration means the mob keep aggro'ed. Works well on MSR.
