You only have 626 shields on a proto cal sentinel?

My basic cal sentinel has 850 shields....

One second Shield depleted regen.

Energisers? Don't you already have a 1 seconds shield delay before recharge....?

Energizers give a bonus to shield recharge amount and penalize shield HP. You might be thinking of regulators, which give a bonus to shield recharge delay and depleted shield recharge delay.

Ah, I stacked 2 complex extenders

And ya I find it lacks a little, but it's workable

I dont think that the cal sentinel is weak. I use it myself and think its awesome due to its high regen capability. And i still have over 750HP shields. The thing is if im low on shields i get into cover and wait to recharge. Armor heavys have the problem that they are only good for 1 serious encounter. And then it takes ages to repair back to full. You can say what you want but a good player in a caldari sentinel is more effective then a armor suit. Simply due to the fact if you let that heavy have only a few secs he will have full HP again. A armor suit can be overwhelmed much easier. Another thing is shield heavys are better for strafing.

I am a Mass Driver user so I can barely put a dent in those things.

Are you:
1) Being Fluxed?
2) Being Shot with Plasma and/or Laser Weaponry?
3) Not using cover to take advantage of caldari insane shield regen?
4) Running into full squads of people and wonder why you aren't owning them all?
5) Being hit REs

If you answered YES to ANY of these its you and not the suit. Even the minmatar will turn your underwear brown if you meet him in an alley.

Then its just down to the way it feels, a lot of people run scrambler rifles, the sound of loosing shields makes sound weak and many other reasons, but trust me its not as weak as it feels to you.

Learn to stick and move

Cover is your friend

Engage more carefully

etc

You have more total HP than my scrambler can put out before it overheats. I think. I know most heavies have more HP than I can put out before I overheat.
