Sentinels are OP at their Role?

Working as intended...

Logi's are OP at their role

Scouts are OP at their role..

Assaults are OP at their role..

Commandoes - we warned CCP that they would have the hardest time finding a role for this suit and then balancing it.



You get a sentinel out to a field and they are useless...

You can have more health and do more damage with any suit except the logi.

You scan out a scout with a gal logi and they are squishy and useless...

You can try to get an assault to push an objective defended by sentinels and are largely easy pickins...

Commandoes die anywhere except in toe to toe fights with some distance.





Sentinels are strong at their role but are near useless on any map without closed internal structures..


Nerfing something because it is too good at it's role is about as stupid as these forums get.

That heavy who is on the attack - is he backed by a logi? Is he speed tanking? Because, a heavy isn't attacking on it's own. It will require an uplink close enough that he isn't ripped a part trying to get anywhere. So if heavies are giving you issues in PC the other side has an excellent support player putting their heavies there.

The heavy has a singular purpose - kill. Assaults, Logi's, Scouts, they can do a multitude of different roles and have many more variations of play. So it goes to show that the heavy whose only role is carry a big gun would dominate confrontations handed to him up front.

The trick in PC is to get your scouts to find out where heavies are coming from and circle around and kill up-link. Just ignore the heavies till the point is secure for a push - heavies don't live long.

I think it's becoming obvious why you've been on the losing team for so long.

You don't understand this game at all.

It doesn't take a genius to understand that the assault role is DPS - and that the city is mainly a rooftop/catwalk confrontation. This gives the assaults room to breathe and be useful in holding points and positions.

On certain maps - such as Towers map with the playstation building - you will want to bring many more assaults then scouts or heavies, as they'll be DPSing everything down from the shrooms and roofs. And you'll want Mincommando supporting them.

As is everything in this game - it's all situational. The only map that is played in PC these days is the Rings map - and heavies dominate it because everything is shootable within 35m and there's plenty of corners and crates to hide behind.

Seems like OP doesn't understand the role of the character he is playing.

In PC you are already more than likely going against some of the best in the game. Add that you don't understand the role that you chose to play and you have a recipe for disaster.

Seems that you want an assault to do what the Sentinel is doing. Not going to happen bud. Either accept your roles as Sota stated what they were and he was being brutally honest or respec into a heavy role and really see how limited they can be. Unless of course you use your imagination and try different fits and get the lulz from it.

So what your saying is that you can't hit a slow moving...barn???

No, I want the Assault to assault, the sentinel to... Sentinel. How it is now the sentinel defends and assaults and the Assault (as sota said) can escape and Camp roofs, but since you are so Wise, tell me what is the role of the Assault and what I am misunderstanding..

I can hit him... The problem is he has 2x the hps and 2x the dps I have. Even if I hit him with 100% of the bullets and he hit me with only 33% of the bullets he will still win... Seems legit.

When you say you want the Sentinel to Sentinel, you want it to just be able to sit there like a turret spinning in place, correct? You could hit it then.

According to this, http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/sentinel what I say above is EXACTLY what you want.


Sota gave you the blue print for playing with the Assault character. Because it SAYS assault doesn't mean it should be used as a head-on vessel. Use it wisely and it is an awesome killing machine.

Look dude. Don't try and take one head-on or by yourself. I've ran hmg/forge since the day I logged on to this game. They are very weak and hard to play with. Very limited in what they can do and without city maps, basically useless in this game aside from AV.

Get the **** out. Heavies do their job, don't try to take them one on one face to face within arms reach and maybe just maybe. You wouldn't come to the forums and whine like a little *****. I've done PC by the way and they do their job. And this is from a minmatar scout.
