So i tried a caldari heavy for the first time although it was only militia, threw one complex regulator and recharge delay is .62 seconds  What?! do any of you guys run cal heavies? are they worth speccing into? I was fking over the amarr proto sentinels I came across because in the half second he lost sight and he had to turn i had already regenned 1/4th my shields back, that and HMG does bonus to armor and less to shield, so dropping his small amount of shield pretty much told both of us who was going to win.
but damn it was actually fun to play a heavy again  |

All of the heavies do something that make them unique. In my opinion and take this for what it is worth, the Gal heavy is the most balanced for me. You can make him a speed heavy, tank heavy, shield, hack, dual damage mods and several other fits I prefer. I use FG mostly so it works well for me considering. Two main fits, both dual damage mods, one has 2 complex plates with complex repper the other 2 kin kats with armor repper. Armor reppers are big if you play solo most of the time.
Just my opinion and nothing more. Study each Sentinel and see which one would work best for you.

Actualy this 'depleted shield' bonus .. is not so bright as you think. Usualy if you are at armor dmg you are at finishing move.
You don't have time to 'run out' (lol.. heavy run out ^^) and recharge. At cqc seeing scout that start recharge shield in fight .. but my shields dont go up... is very disapointing (remeber your 0.6sec depleted recharge? BS) My is about 0.82 sec... but I say 2 sec is abut to right. So... best that you can do is use this heavy for AV. Assault forge, some ew moves and you can manage fight on same time with tank and snipers that point you (but not charge and thales).
So - good for AV, not so to cqc.
Not much time left...

I only use the Calsent for forging. It might look appealing at first since its shields are naturally resistant to projectiles and hybdrid-rail and then both of it's bonus resistances are on the shields (laser and hybrid-blaster); but one flux and you're cooked. So it makes a poor choice for and hmg sentinel; especially since it seems projectile and hybrid-rail are the most common damage types used (at least to me, lot of hmg's, smg's, ACR's, ARR's is what I see). So you won't stand a chance against an Amarr or Gallente sentinel even if you're getting repped (assuming you only have one logi and he has none) unless s/he's a crappy heavy.
The Amarr has a projectile resistance on it's armor and the Gallente has both that and hybrid-rail on it's armor making them the obvious choices for using the hmg, especially if you've got a logi lover with their higher potential armor hp.
Why does everyone ignore the point?

also Im not going to be in the open as a heavy because that would just be straight dumb, im always fighting near cover no matter what suit im in, so even ducking at a little hill for half a second will get my shields recharging again |

If you look at the Calsent you'll see its base depleted shield recharge is 1 second and with a complex regulator it does indeed drop to 0.68. But that doesn't mean anything when you're getting shot.

At my fit: 2.7 sec recharge shield, 0.82 depleted shield with complex shield regulator.
If you have both 0.62 grats.
You can fight with scouts and don't take any cover.

All heavy suits are worth it.
The gallente heavy has best passive reps meaning you can fire when you peak around the corner, retreat then peak again and the other heavies just get slowly beaten down cause of shield regen delays and having less armor rep.
flux grenades are the bane of caldari sentinels. that's why the caldari sentinels have only a 1 second depleted shield delay. It helps the sentinel recover quicker from fluxes cause you cant run from them, he is too slow. |

Passive reps are not why the Gallente heavy is good. Inherent reps are negligible when you're running around with a thousand armour HP.
The Galheavy has excellent resistances, to the point where it can actually compete with the Amarr sent for EHP.

The 1 second delay still does not work 99% of the time. If you take damage while your shields are down (i.e 2 bullets) - it switches to the shield recharge delay of 4 seconds, very crippling. |

Caldari sent is only good for.. forge'ing and snigle live runs [go and kill what you can before dying]
gall sent is straight up not as good as Amarr [my anti gall side speaks here]
Minmatar sent.. i have to say that they tried. They used multiple duct tape layers but it's not as good as gold.

Yes that's true .
Not too many even talk about this point .
We seriously need a bug patch where they make sure everything is " working as intended " .

I don't understand why people say "Caldari Sentinel for AV." The damage difference is not insane.
4 Damage mods is 14.28% damage.
3 would be 12.69%.
2 would be 9.56%.
1 would be 5%.
Is spending 2,487,360 worth doing an extra 4.72% damage if you use a Gallente Heavy?
Anyway, I can say that the Caldari Sentinel is inferior to the Gallente and Amarr. The Gallente and Amarr pack so much armor that a Logi standing behind them with a Repair Tool is pretty much the most powerful combination in the game for both defense and offense. It isn't even just "Repair Tool exists so Armor is better", Armor has a lot more HP so it is simply better at performing the role of Stand and Deliver. I know people always like to say that Shield is close or equal to Armor because "you just have to be far away and not get hit" but a Sentinel is incapable of doing that reliably. They could use a long range weapon like a Scrambler or Rail Rifle but than they might as well just be a Commando suit.

Shield tanking, like armor tanking, means you shouldn't allow your main tank level to reach 0. It's also a silly argument when shield tankers say "people only need to spit on you to prevent shield regen, it's unfair" mercs don't spit and no weapon is designed to specifically prevent shield regen. 4 seconds? That's 1 less second than it takes for me to drop a remote...
The Caldari sentinel is the best solo heavy out there, it doesn't even need logi support. If the min had a little better regen delays it would be soooo good.

Flux is rather medicore threat, because of depleted bonus. Two sec backpedal and you can start thinking about to back to fight.
And ppl throw flux very often befor engage... so you have time to react.

I run a MinSent and a CalSent. MinSent for offense, and CalSent for defense.
You can't stand and deliver with a CalSent like a Gal or Amarr, but if there is even 1 piece of cover in a room you can warfighter peekaboo fight like a boss and actually hold off more guys.
1 regulator + some Extenders will put you right at .70 depleted. So pop out, (run a burst HMG as that HMG is more suited for peekaboo play style) pop off some shots, duck behind cover. Circle around the object if they rush you.
It's actually quite good if you can jump behind some cover. Also -- you don't need a logi tethered to you on a rep gun! |
