I just created another character and plan on going the "heavy" route with him. I've been looking over the Dust Wiki and am trying to decide between Sentinel and Commando. I know the Sentinel has more defenses, more PG and CPU, and a higher shield recharge rate. They also have more module slots across the board other than light weapons and also get grenades plus a sidearm.
However, on the flipside, the Commando has a higher rate of speed and higher melee damage (which I'm starting to realize comes in REALLY handy getting up close and personal.
Looking at everything, I guess what I'm trying to figure out is what they benefit of going Commando over Sentinel would be. It seems Sentinels just get more of everything (other than speed). However, I see A LOT of people who are all out cookoo for Commando.
I'd appreciate any information you can give me on this. I'll probably be ready to buy the skillbook in the next couple of days so it's not urgent, just kind of wondering. |

The Sentinel seems more appealing to me as well. The idea of running an HMG and just mowing people down gets the hair on my neck standing. And I just checked that page and realized the Commando is showing a Light weapon while the Sentinel is showing a Heavy weapon. Yeah, I think I'm decided. |

Thanks for all the info everyone. I think I'm going to go the basic route and level 1 on both just to test the waters. If nothing else, having both will allow me to diversify myself on the battlefield and change fittings as the situation presents itself. |

So, it's been about 5 days of running with both (just specced into Caldari level 1 with each). I am noticing myself running almost exclusively commando because of that versatility. I'm level 5 for Combat Rifle so I run that and pair it with 1: Charged Sniper & 2: Shotgun (militia). I love both of the combo's. I also get an equipment slot on top of it. I'm really starting to see what everyone is talking about with the versatility. I will admit I LOVE the Sentinel's defenses but until I get my Heavy weapons to the point I can run HMG, there is really no reason. |
