Been a sentinel for two years and I'll tell you this right now, if you were using it as an 'I Win' Button then you can leave your sentinel badge at the door.

I only went negative once today with all the new changes and that was because I was f*cling around in a minass suit with stacked myofibs.

Sentinels are in a bad spot however Rattati has helped us with this lastest hotfix. Our range has been increased and us AssHMG users now have decent DPS. Sure we are still slow and have giant hitboxes still but if you can't go positive in a skirmish or FW then you are doing it wrong.

BTW Gallente Proto Sentinel if you are wondering.

Ive been dedicated heavy for about a year I used the freedom hmg, then they need it so I used the sixkin I don't like the standard as I always stated it had to much range. I also go positive in skirmish and doms even ambushs but now? The sixkin is in a really bad spot people hated it after they nerfed it when it was broke. I loved it.
I play heavy 90% of the time always played the role kill him infant before you die if you die after? Yous till killed someone.
I have gone toe to toe with some of the the best heavies in the game. And I have spoken to a few and we all agree min sentinel has been hit hard by this.
I play to win not my KDR butmy suit does not fit the role it use to which was heavy assault.

You fail as a SENTINEL if you were using it as a heavy assault. Sentinels are point defense. Hell its even in the name.

You fail at not understanding the min sentinel

Actually I do understand it quite well. It has enoughs highs and lows to either hybrid tank or shield tank with kin kats or armour tank with stacked damage mods. It is also the fastest of the sentinels.

However their role on the field is not heavy assault. That is what commandos are meant to be. Their role is to defend the objective by moving within the area as opposed to Amarr Sentinels (which is the stand and deliver suit).

In proper heavy environments, jumping won't save a target anyways, such as indoors. I use a Gal Sent though, so YMMV. "You see those red dots over there?

They kill fine and take a lot of DMG still, but they have more counters than just re's which is nice. Removed inappropriate content - CCP Logibro

Izlare Lenix Pub Stars 1394	Posted - 2015.03.14 07:59:00 - [35] - Quote Hmm. I have zero issues using my min sent. It still wrecks pretty much everything fast. The burst is amazing at killing scouts and medium frames and the reg hmg still chews through other heavies. I just used the assault hmg last night and I killed a militia tank before overheating, which was AWESOME. (I fluxed it first) I agree with you that min sent is a flanking heavy, which is how I use it. I have found when flanking you often get the jump on another heavy so flux it first or drop its shields with a Scr/Ion pistol before engaging with hmg. Cal sents melt like butter when you do this. I think the main problem for you Jade is you run your heavy a lot. And heavies are not good in every situation. I only pull out the heavy in its optimal situation since I can use my assault and scout in the scenario where a big slow target is not the best choice. Hmg heavies are still very strong in their domain. Outside of CQC they pretty much suck. The only real truth in history is that it was bloody.
