There's no question that Minmatar Commando is going to be best at swarms (not sure if explosive damage affects AV nades.)
But what I noticed is if you look hard enough at the hybrid-blaster armor damage resistance, it means Minmatar Sentinels will resist blaster turrets.
Get some proto AV nades and a proto breach FG on that suit, and I can see it wrecking tanks all day.
Do you think the DPS resist from blaster tanks will be enough though?

You guys are right about the Minmatar Sentinel; it's trash.
But if grenades count as explosive damage, then Min Commandos get a boost to AV like ****.

I'm sorry dude, but being a Min Logi with an AR has really deflated my pride in the Minmatar.
Calm down and stay on topic.

Yet again off-topic.
And Ryme, sorry I forgot to edit sentinel out of the OP.
I heard a rumor that Iron Wolf Saber said there's no talk of any change to AV, so it'd have to be a hotfix.

Not sure about the Min sentinel theory tho. Would've thought the AV grenades wouldn't get the bonus damage (don't think bonuses apply to grenades), and even with the blaster resistance it will be less tanky versus blasters than other sentinels.
Then there's the fact that CCP seem to be determined to reduce all AV to a plasma cannon-esque comedy sidekick role. The Minmatar Assault is only good at Swarm AV.because we can stack damage mods. In 1.8 stacking damage mods will be useless.
Not if your goal is AV. You'll at least want two complex damage mods on that.
Edit: I know what you're saying though. Everyone is worried that they will nerf AV in 1.8
