Sentinels with light weapons GÇô necessary? - Thread
Something we might consider once we have a full set of heavy weapons.
Link or it didn't happen.
I'd personally prefer if Sentinels were limited to Heavy weapons, but that won't even be in the consideration set until there's a full complement of fattie boomsticks.
So RR Sentinels, consider your fat selves in the clear until 2016.

Indeed. It's mostly RR and the odd Duvolle Fattie. You can tell the ones who have been doing it for a while, still plugging away with that plain old ARGǪ
Scrambler Rifle Heavies are ever rarer. Which is odd, since it carries the most damage without needing equipment resupply.
Oh well. More fodder for my HMG.

I went on a murder spree with my Templar ScR free "Commandon't" fit last nightGǪ
Once I got the hang of how many shots I could pop off without overheating, it was a bit terrifying for having zero SP in the weapon.
(Of course, I immediately felt a pang of guilt for not using the HMG or FG instead. I made the sign of the Khumaak and said five Hail Fatties to make up for it.)
KAGEHOSHI Horned Wolf wrote:The RR heavy issue is really a product of the RR's poor balancing, not the heavy's ability to use light weapon. Basic heavies and sentinels should not be nerfted because there are problems with one weapon (also applies to CR).
Almost total agreement there. I just think it'd bring an interesting balance to the game if Basic Heavies could use near everything, but then Sentinels and Commandos each become more specialized to a weapon path. (Heavy and Light, respectively.)
I've seen some good arguments that basic frames should just be removed from the game entirelyGǪ in which case I'd waffle more on my opinion that Sentinels shouldn't use light weapons.
In any case, it's kinda settled: CCP says all fatties get light weapons. And that'll probably lasts for a good long while.

Not to ruin your day, but you may want to look at the Sentinel bonus changes coming in 1.8GǪ
Unless you already lay down 2x REs per fattie, then carry on.

I think you need to give HMG a shot again, good sir.
It's a ferocious meat grinder now. It reduces everything to a fine red mist inside 20m, and can make CR/RR users cower out to 40m. I'd say it's in a good spot.
Even the Alldin Kans of the world bail out and use different tactics rather than fight toe-to-toe against it.
I'd say both Heavy weapons are both damn good now, they're just both damn old.

I think that has more to do with the HMG being a joy to use again than anything else. At least, that's my personal experience.
In mid-long range maps I still whip out the ol' AFG for some infantry blapping and harassing dropships.
