The three guys who I play with often and use the Caldari Sentinel all hate the suit now. IMO, the Amarr (and even Gallente) is superior in every way when it comes to CQC (where the sentinel suits really shine). But, heck, if you're getting 30 kills a round with it, you must be doing something right!

Anyone with even a fraction of talent can wreck face with a Sentinel and HMG combo. As far as Caldari vs Amarr, well my opinion would be to use this accelerated SP week and skill into the Amarr Sentinel as well. That way you have a shield and armor heavy to see which style you prefer. If you are just looking for the most eHP possible, then go Amarr. That's awesome your wife will play Dust btw. My fiance hates it, lol.

The wife playing Dust is not what is all cracked up to be. We made the mistake of using the same logging account so now we have to share the passive SP which have become an issue a couple of times. We had to made up rules to keep it fair. Then there is the available play time. We have to schedule the play time other wise we fight over whos turn it is. We also have kids that like to play other games which also cuts into the play time. So, yeah it sounds good on paper but, it has its drawbacks.

Also, she sometimes takes the bonus material. I often asks, hey how did you get those free suits? and she would say, they where offered when I logged in so i took them.

In Ambush (not OMS) most all you see is heavies. Do you know why? Its easy. They took out tanks. Heavy suits are the next best thing.

So everyone runs a heavy and if you choose to be different and run a scout or a medium suit....you're out of luck because all the heavies and their prototype HGM's own the battlefield

People are mostly petty and shallow and play like babies. Its the same crap as dropships taking people to the top of the tallest tower on the border gulch map and dropping them off and them putting 3 nanohives and 3 drop links down and sniping the objective in domination while everyone else can do nothing about it.

Here's an idea; Spend 28,000 isk on a Gorgon dropship, learn to fly that sum'b!tch and drop in on their heads and then drop down, wipe out their droplinks and nanohives and put an end to that cheap petty ass baby sh!t

Well, not 30 on every single round. There have been rounds where i have gotten prison raped to put it crudely, But, for a suit that I have very little invested on and rarely used (plus running solo with no logi) I'm getting 30 kills quite often. Consider my caldari scout which i put a lot of effort on and my best run was 24 a long time ago and it only happened once.

Caldari Heavy is the cutest looking of the heavies. Like, a chibi version of the Caldari Heavy should be CCP's unofficial mascot.











Minmatar is the ugliest.

What are you talking about?? Just LOOK at that sexy unibrow!!!

Andrew Garfield has a sexy unibrow... I guess... as far as unibrows go.

But if transformers were mascots, the Minmatar heavy would be like UPS' mascot. It looks like a box. A mean looking, evil box that will kill you just as soon as look at you... but still a box.

(-_-; )

Now that really did make me laugh out loud!

I still wonder if it would had been better to go Ammar or eve Gallente.

So, the question is, what is your opinion on the Caldari Heavy? I like that it heals really quickly but men!!!, 1 flux grenade and you are done.

My wife had this alt account which she created for experimenting purposes. After a while she kind of abandone it so I told her let make that guy a heavy I mean with a name like BullDozer Bubba he ahs to be a heavy . (She plays assault I play logi and scout). Anyways, I asked my corp for advice and they said to go Ammar Sentinel. Lo and behold I talked to my wife about it and she told me "Oh!, I made him a Caldari Sentinel". She is a Caladari sympathizer. I'm like aarrrggg we should ahd gone Ammar!!! anyways, i tried it out and at the beginning I didn't like it, but after like 4 rounds I started getting like 30 kills (I usually get 9 to 12 with the scout and about 4 with the logi since I'm repairing).

As people have been saying it's pretty great with a forge gun as it won't have the armor weighing it down making it even slower and the shields regenerate very quickly. In CQC with a hmg, it's all about the incredibly fast regen in comparison to other heavies. If you can get a breather you can wear down the enemy and if you have back up that is forcing them to stay back, you should be able to hold on. For Caldari and likewise minmitar, it's all about knowing when to engage and when to disengage. Brick tanks are slow, so you use that to your advantage. Also as a side note, don't use the assault. I thought its higher optimal would be useful but with having used it for a while the higher optimal is pointless since it does about a 3rd less damage than the standard and that higher optimal is often pointless since the gun will fire wildly at long range, I think it doesn't overheat as fast either but this is moot as the other heavy that will kill you with a standard hmg won't overheat either.

Also as long as you don't stack too many shield extenders your recharge delay is near instant, (I think it's one second.) So if you stack damage mods and rechargers on your Caldari sentinel you are probably better off than if you had put on extenders. I'm often greatful when I get fluxed from around a corner because it makes my regen immediately kick in instead of when my shields were at say 100 waiting for the longer tick.

The biggest let down on the Caldari sentinel for hotfix charlie was the slot layout modification. The Standard sentinel is basically useless as it doesn't have a low slot. With no low slot you have no way to passively rep your armor so you will be worn down. Some may say that you could get a logi, but the entire appeal of the Caldari sentinel over the other sentinels is the fact that it is the most independant. Able to regen at insane rates in comparison to the others allowing it to tank without a logi.

yeah no low slot is also the bane of the calmando too till adv or proto i believe

Show me on the doll where the HMG diddled you

What in the actual **** did I just read?

But as for my opinion on the caldari sentinel: I like it. You have to remember it's caldari, so it's meant for fighting at long range with a forge gun (out of flux range)
When used as intended, it's actually very good.

It's meant to be an AV suit, not HMG cqc. Using a forge gun with it at long range makes the caldari heavy very hard to drop.
