bamboo x Eternal Beings Proficiency V. 171	Posted - 2014.03.09 03:51:00 - [1] - Quote 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? Hanging up the Min Logi, going full Amarr Sentinel with HMG, Ion Pistol, and Forge Gun. My record high KD about 47/14
Lorhak Gannarsein Science For Death 2001	Posted - 2014.03.09 03:54:00 - [2] - Quote Nope. Low baseline HP means Cal Sent with its larger tank and comparable mobility will be more useful IMO. It should be taking 95% from blasters, IIRC. Also, AssForge is better for everything than BFG. Assault ak.0 w/ScR+ScP 4LYFE

Nope, Amarr Sent is the ultimate AV suit. 2 highs for correct number of damage mods (still worthwhile even after nerf), high armor for good natural blaster resistance. Respec in 1.8 due to huge battlefield role shift for MinLogi! All my posts are respec posts (Gò»°Gûí°n+ëGò»n+¦ Gö+GöüGö+ LockmeBro!
bamboo x Eternal Beings Proficiency V. 172	Posted - 2014.03.09 09:11:00 - [5] - Quote 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 ****. Hanging up the Min Logi, going full Amarr Sentinel with HMG, Ion Pistol, and Forge Gun.

Yeah, because putting two kin cats on and being faster than my assault, while also having over 1000 eHP and a doom machine HMG is trash. Get real. Shield regeneration bonus for Gallente Assault is about as useful as Sharpshooter for Nova Knives. DUST514514

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.

Ryme Intrinseca Fatal Absolution General Tso's Alliance 888	Posted - 2014.03.09 11:12:00 - [11] - Quote Minmatar assault has always been the go-to swarmer due to their OP SMG. 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.

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.

In 1.8 stacking damage mods will be useless. Taco Cat backwards is still Taco Cat

It'll be funny to watch the people who think that sentinel resistances will allow them to headbutt a large turret I am your scan error.
