Worst-case scenario (you're using, say, a Combat Rifle against a maxxed Amarr fattie), Sentinels can have up to 15% more EHP than they have currently.
That's a sizable chunk, but it's not as much as when CCP bumped total Heavy HP up by 20% a patch ago. (Shield and armor went from 400 to 480.) People didn't seem to think that made much of a difference at all, and there was zero QQ on the forums.
Could the new Sentinels be FOTM? I dunno. I hope not. I hate seeing impostor fatties in my suits.
But I guess we'll see...

I totally overlooked that. So it isn't even a 15% EHP bump.
I can't be considered an impartial opinion... I've specialized in Heavies for all of DUST... but I'm really not seeing anything overpowered here.

TBH 1.8 is going to be a ShitShOW You've GOT to be joking... heavies are stupid slow. Killing a heavy is as easy as out ranging and out flanking them. If they take cover just toss a couple core locus at them and watch em try to waddle out of the blast radius and snag an easy +50.
I'm pretty sure Reg is talking about fighting toe to toe using nothing but juking and gun game. Which, while a respectable display of skill, isn't the advisable way to kill a fattie...

Actually, depending on the suit it will applie to armor or shield, both the 10% and 15%.
That's correct. Both Slen and I were specifically referring to the Amarr projectile bonus, though.
