Ok I'm here.
I am THE sentinel.
All sentinels to 5.
I use all of the suits.
I can tell you the strengths and weaknesses to each and how to make each one badass if you are unaware of the unholy secrets of our order.
I am also an avowed hater of the previous sentinel meta and will challenge anyone when they proclaim the days of the sentinel instablap were good.
I do not expect you to agree with me. But if you want me to respect your opinions, use facts when you provide evidence, and if you use an opinion as justification, please do everyone the courtesy of proclaiming it as an opinion. I like debate. I like argument.
More important I like INTELLIGENT arguments. A battle of wits with the unarmed leaves a sour taste in my mouth.
So let's play a game ala Jeff Foxworthy: Are you smarter than the barbershop?

I have an honest question that I would hope to discuss.
With all the nerfing done to the HMG in the past, have you guys considered or even tried using a shotgun on your sentinels in CQC?? Having not used the shotgun myself, only familiar with it's reputation, I sometimes think that if I played sent, I might want to at least give it a try.
Thoughts?
My thoughts are it could actually work if you drop Kincats on cal and minsents, and ran kincats/reps on the am/gal sents.
the only problem is the people who actually pay attention to the radar will see you coming a mile out

Thanks for the welcome gift! Claims to be head honcho of heavies. Uses nova knives. Double kincats. Three sidearm damage mods or three LEX mods.
Minsent.
His name is "Tiny."
I challenge you to introduce him to as many people as you can. Tiny also loves shotguns. He also believes in skipping weapon use, stacking three myofibs, running up and punching scouts in the face.

Any tips for how to use a Sentinel properly. I normally love being a mid-long range support gunner and Anti-vehicle player in other FPS but in Dust I loathe the HMG aesthetic.... Get good with a forge gun if you want to range. HMG's are quite good but at shorter ranges. You will learn to love bolt pistol / breach scrambler pistol / flaylock. I appreciate the advice Mina but that's not a particularly an interesting play style more me. Are there no option for a medium range suppression player? Not really. There's no other heavy weapons. You can stick a scram or laser on but people get all sorts of butthurt about sentinels with light weaps.
all we have is wang range and extreme range. Nothing in between.

Camping, in general, means staying in one place and waiting. So camping an objective is possible. I'm not really against the whole defending a static objective... I mean my honest go god dream scenario in Dust 514 would be a siege (and they are amazingly entertaining when they occur) but to properly defend the objective I want and need a weapon with some moderate range and suppressive capability. That's the primary reason I like the AHMG as it now but even then that's not really enough range to be a proper support gunner. I'm also not a fan of the Sentinel being relegated to point defence. I always saw them more as Breaching Tools. The rock/tank character that holds an attacking force together.
Breach and bulwark.

Megaman Trigger wrote:HMG proposal would replace the current HMG, right? If so, it certainly looks fun. Tactical Forge is a Heavy Rail Rifle while Tactical Scrambler Lance is a Heavy Scrambler Rifle? Or did I read wrong? edit: could you post your AV one too?
yes, these would be long-range weapons.
and the Scrambler lance would be the anti-infantry variant of the AV weapon I submitted for review. the normal scrambler lance would be like a heavy laser rifle, where the the tactical would be more like an Asscram.
No, I'm not ready to post the AV stuff, because I am not ready to invite the brown sea of shitposting to crap all over it just yet. All of this was part of a greater proposal to rebalance HAVs with AV and sentinels with the rest of the game.

I'd be a bit worried about how gunnlogi's perform in the face of madrugars with their insane retardoblasters that let them dps down almost anything. The document treats the shield nerf on fittings as reverted.
In order to be able to balance the tanks off the av the shield nerfs actually have to go away in order to make shield TTK similar ro armor vs. Appropriate weapons.
This is why I keep saying the shield nerfs need to revert.
The cannon issues have been better addressed by other people thaN I can.

Mobility issues can be better addressed by adding range options to heavies in order to eliminate the need to use the wheelchair heavy schtick.
the wheelchair is compensation for a lack of options, not what I consider a viable and desirable tactic.

Most of the vehicle community is tired of the polarity between HAVs and AV. BLUNTLY I don't blame them. Tanks pendulum back and forth between god-monster and warpoint pinata.
Regardless the answer needs to be somewhere in the middle. And bluntly the price tag on HAVs is the killer for use regardless of whether they are balanced or not. A million isk a fit is a bit much IMHO.

A million isk a fit is a bit much IMHO. Even several hundred k a fit is a bit daft. A single vehicle loss puts someone in the red by quite a bit usually.
If rattati pulls additional match rewards and reimbursement for lost fits to one degree or another this may cease being as huge an issue

Megaman Trigger wrote:Spent the morning looking over Breakin's AV proposal and I like what I saw.
Definitely agree that the base Forge Gun needs a damage buff to bring it in line with the general convention of Breach > Base > Assault in terms of alpha damage. Overheat would stop Forge snipers camping rooftops and waiting with a charge shot. Heat build would kick in once charge is full, not during charge, correct? Would this apply to the Breach too?
Reticule charge meter would make it a little easier, IMO, to monitor the charge level while exchanging fire. Any chance of the Breach FG getting that too? And on the subject of the BFG, I wholeheartedly agree with removing the immobilization.
HMG change would be interesting and would remove Sentinels from objective camping, tho I'm not sure the Scouts/Assaults et al would approve of a Sentinel that could fire back at 70m.
Proposed Heavy Weapons look like they would be fun and interesting. I like the idea of an Anti-Material Rifle.
While you are looking for things you all like, please be on the lookout for things you don't and math errors.
And yes the charge overheat limit should apply to breach so long as the root effect is gone. Forge sniping and charge holding douchery was why we lost splash to begin with.

My problem with crouching in the case of heavy weapons is it is extremely immersion-breaking for me and doubles your chances of eating headshots.
Immersion breaking because if you take a kneeling shoiter stance with a rifle you can set your body for additional stability thus with a sniper or battle rifle it makes sense.
Doing the same with a hip fired heavy weapon is physically impossible because of how it's carried.
I object to rewarding the behavior on heavies because with HMG fights, unless I am in a no-tank minsent with 50% damage I will always win standing and moving against an HMG Crouch. It's bad behavior for little to no return. It makes you an easy target unless you are at sniper ranges where the diminished visual profile helps you do the job.
Bluntly CCP should have put a prone position into the game for snipers and ambushers with rifles.
Making a heavy weapon do the turret moron thing encourages stupid behavior. In fact I onobject to any idea that tries to make fatties behave like turrets. Why?
Did it work worth a sh*t for the breach forge?

Run the magsec whenever you are battling idiots so they can understand how bad they are. Alternatively it's gggood for comedy fits. It's outperformed in close by al of the other sidearms. When it's far enough out that it should shine the recoil rapidly vomits utself all over the place, forcing you to stop and recharge every few seconds. This cuts your DPS in half.
Less recoil or less charge time is needed for the magsec to be anything but an opportunistic "f**k you, you're bad. HOW bad? You got killed by a magsec!"
Bolt pistols are pretty much the best counter to nova knives on AV fits.

Cal/min sentinels are my favorite.
I routinely exterminate Gal/am sentinels In 1v1.
The other two cannot match the potential DPS output and the shield ssent EHP vs the HMG is higher than the EHP of the other two.
Play a little smart and the quafe/APEX shield sentinels are self-sufficient death machines. Most of ththe complaints about the downsides of shield tanking simply do not apply.
Either hot-rack tge damage mods or on a cal run an energizer, extenders and a regulator for sustained operations or hot rack an energizer with damage mods and a repair module for fast damage and recovery output.
On minsents run rechargers and extenders with eitger two kincats or a kincat and a rep for sustained action or run two kincats along a full top rack of damage mods for speedy Gonzales murder fun.
Anyone who says LEX mods are bad is an IDIOT. When BPO trading comes out, if you don't have one, then beg, borrow or SCAM one because it's 1% less than acomplex heavy mod, boosts sidearm damage and has almost the same fitting requirements as a standard grade module. They are hands down the BEST fatty mods in the game.
Further when looking at STD BPOs vs APEX do not dismiss the STD fits. I repeat:
DO NOT DISMISS THE STD FITS.
Standard fatty BPOs can be fit to hit harder or tank harder with less effort because their fitting allowance covers less slots than APEX. This means you can fit a proto attack OR a proto tank much more easily Than APEX.
There is no discernable advantage to APEX over quafe if your fitting skills are spiked up to the max. In fact the performance is almost identical.
Unless someone here who can run everything sentinel can verify a claim made by someone in GD or F&I discussion you should assume that they have no goddamn idea what they are talking about.
A lot of claims about how sentinels work are gleefully made by people who never ran them or haven't run them in the past 3-5 nerf cycles.
I don't mean people crying OPness. I mean people who try to explain how the sh*t works.
Verify everything with other fatties before listening to the mob.
By the way, If you want to rrun cal/min effectively?
Max your cores. Max out everything, including armor skills. You cannot run shield fatty successfully unless you have no inherent weaknesses in your skill set. This ishard mode but at level 5 in all support skills min/cal is no harder than running am/gal.

My preferred loadouts by race:

Minmatar: Hot rack 3 damage mods, drop a kincat and a cardiac regulator (sure your stamina regenerates, but this way you can keep up with the assaults) OR 2 extenders, 1 recharger, a rep and a kincat. Depends on the job, and the enemy. if the bads are rocking a lot of viziams you're screwed no matter what you do.
Gallente: This one I'm still tooling around with, it's the hardest and yet easiest all at once. easy to just make a fit, but hard to tweak a fit tailored to yourself. I usually drop two damage mods, a plate and two reps.
Caldari: Vehicle hunter: 3 damage mods, 1 energizer, 1 regulator HMG: 3 extenders, energizer, regulator
Trust me, screw the plates, screw the armor reps, drop a goddamn regulator in the lows. Recharge delay at less than two seconds and around 60/sec recovery and you're sustainable. more importantly you will recover from depleted shields IN ABOUT HALF A SECOND and begin regenerating. The regulator trumps all armor mods forever.

Unlike most weapons in the game, the forge gun is NOT hitscan. You actually have to learn to lead the target.Use the assault, because if you miss, you might hit them with the splash damage if you're aiming low.
Nevermind the comedy that happens when you shoot one and kill his two buddies stacked next to him behind a blind corner.

Energizers penalize your shield HP by 6%.
If you're going to stack regen use rechargers. Never use more than two energizers. ever. In fact the only time you should ever use an energizer is if you confirm NO ONE is using a laser profile weapon on the enemy team, PERIOD.

The standard variant HMG is outclassed by the AHMG at any range in a face to face, blast each others face until one of you drops confrontation.
I beg to differ. The Range issue is absolutely HUGE, and the HMG in CQC was quite bluntly the worst design decision ever made.

Burst is more situational, and unfortunately the range nerfs have relegated it to the role of overheating shotgun.
The burst and standard HMG pretty much require camping in claustrophobic places.
The AHMG actually has a better mix of usability in more areas. When you're fighting in line harvest the burst and standard have about zero utility. But by the same token, when you pick a fight in the orbital artillery socket, there are few things better.

Honestly defenses is almost universally better than stackingdamage mods. Even the cal and minsents are more survivable rocking the shield extenders and rechargers or energizers.
A calsent In fresh 1v1 vs an amsent is roughly equal even with the amsents damage mod because the HMG doesn't play well with heavy shield stacking.
The galsent and amsent are similarly set up. Realistically the weapons absolutely are capable wreckingball DPS without mods. But the armor gumbies can run mods.
The caveat is: if you let a calsent duck behind cover for longer than one second it is already recovering. If you let a minsent get behind cover your ass ain't catching him.
Now quafe forge guns? Damage mod that sh*t up.

Categorically disagree on the calsent assessment SoTa.
I'm routinely using calsents to demolish people. It works incredibly well, and if you square off versus a scram, you're going to kill them before they kill you.
Downside is without ten seconds of recovery the next guy will paste you with minimal effort.
It's hard to describe but I can get more mayhem out of the calsent than I can the amsent.
I also like the minsent. Believe it or not cardiacs are an incredibly good choice on minsents despite what everyone else thinks.
DPS mods on a ahmg fit are hilarious. No one expects you to glass cannon a sentinel and blaze.
Use LEx mods to bust out sidearms effectively when too close to overheat.

You cannot break shield regen.

I've always loved the heavy suit, and we used to have a strong community back in the day. Good times.
But we seriously need a ranged heavy weapon, idc if the DPS is crap because it's AV focused, just something to give it to snipers once in a while :(
EDIT: You're right, I am pessimistic after re-reading myself. lol, being a heavy for a long time has made me bitter, but I think scouts have had it worse :3
Try the two following combos for calsent:
3 extenders, energizer, regulator, AHMG
3 damage mods, energizer, regulator, AHMG.
Do not waste your time or isk on armor plates or reps of any kind in the lows.
The former is excellent general purpose.
The latter is for hunting amsents.
That 15% reduction to shield damage on the HMGs matters quite a lot.
Gallente heavies shine in armor AV because the extra 2.5% DPS you get from a third module means f*ck all. You get more mileage from the WB bonus. And you have more EHP than a calsent or minsent.
Minsent is the best assault suit in the game.
Amsent is the wade in and smash suit. Calsent is the ambush suit/wade in and smash shield suit.

Funny enough, a speed heavy on a roof is the most annoying target for an ADS as it can't hit us, lol. 3 mods is about a 2.5% increase over 2.
Realistically for AV mods are purely psychological value. Tankers and pilots who see the really big hits panic badly.

Finding time to reload with a minsent is never a problem. Fighrs with them are binary.
Either you and your buddies are dead, giving the minsent time to reload...
Or the minsent is dead, eliminating the need to reload.

I think you'd be giving every ADSer a chubby with that sort of update. I disagree on losing splash just on that point - ADS's would reck us afterwords, lol.
Let 'em get a chubby.
For hardcore Av gunners, how often, exactly does the average ADS pilot get within shot range of you and light off before you put a forge slug into him? I think I get caught what, once a month?
But then I'm also actively hunting the vehicles. And honestly, ever since rails lost the splash, fighting HAVs is just a straight up firefight, who hits who first.
But if you think the average ADS gunner is going to reck anyone who is an AV lunatic over HMG (me, You, half of the people who post here) you are sorely mistaken.
We're the guys the ADS pilots complain about being OP. Because they never get close enough to blast with ze mizzlz.

I think Gal Sent should have 6 HP/Sec native reps to give them a max of 28.5 HP/Sec. The Amarr Sent could still get more total Reps, but the Gal Sent's extra high slot has value.
Gal Sent is supposed to be a Rep Tank specialist, yet it only has a 0.5 HP/Sec advantage in native reps over Min Sent presently and only a 1 HP/Sec advantage over Amarr.
A lot of the fits I use, use 2 low slots for something other than rap (eg. Armor Plate + Kin Cat) so lets compare Gal and Amarr Sent using that scenario:
Gal Sent with 1 Rep module: (Now = 12.5 HP/Sec) (Proposed = 13.5 HP/Sec)
Amarr Sent with 1 Rep module: 11.5 HP/Sec Amarr Sent with 2 Rep modules (still 2 open low slots): 21 HP/Sec
As for Cal and Min Sents, I am balancing everything against the Amarr Sent, so as long as the Gal Sent is not made more powerful than the Amarr Sent I don't think it effects the viability of the other two suits. Fox, you forgot the rep module skill bonus.

Running neck and neck with assaults for the most part.
The only two major problems are lack of weapon variety on cal and amarr.
The cal suffers solidly from craptastic shield regeneration stats.
The minmatar is :okay: because of similar crap regen stats.
Right now after a couple days to percolate the information, the gallente and amarr overshadow both the minmatar and caldari overall PURELY because of survivability. The raw HP is fine, but by the time cal/min commandos begin recharging an amarr or gallente commando could have already recovered upward of 100 HP and neither of the shield 'mandos breaks 20 regen/sec.

Tacnet is worthless. Even with range mods and precision mods maxed in all slots nothibg appears unless it is within your inner ring. This means that they always appear superimposed on the center icon represening yourself.
Unless the radar is adjusted so it ONLY covers the outer/main/inner ring the radar is useless. Bluntly you'll never get your detection radius beyond an HMG or AHMG optimal depending on the sentinel, so running the mods is almost never worthwhile.
This was pre-nerf.

Even the Assault HMG does not have enough range to be effective in that massive open building, and it is hard to find cover when people with rifles are constantly shooting from 3 or 4 different angles. I LOVE that map. The calsent and minsent shine there. It's a deathtrap for am/galsent though.
Most of the people camping the rooftops rock rail rifles and combat rifles. A solid shield fit on a calsent and a speed fit on the minsent with either DPS spiked or a shield buffer tends to hit the corners and run up the pyramid outside like a bulldozer. They have a really hard time breaking you on the way up.
Play the calsent like a human shield for a squad charging up the pyramid then when on top drop down directly on your targets through the hatch for some straight d**k moves.
The minsent with a kincat and a cardiac combined with shields or DPS mods can keep pace with most assaults and logis. The amarr and galsent are relegated to ambush camping on that map because the cover is sparse enough that they are almost always exposed to fire from at least one angle.
Fast regen is key for sentinels on that map.

Hey remember when I said its difficult to chabge over to a new play style completely? you went from speedy suit to the slowest suit in game so lets slowly get used to being slow. Try this speedfit sentinel I built for ya Lows: Complex ferroscales x1 Complex armor rep x1 complex kincats x2 highs: complex shield ext weapons: Boundless ahmg Boundless BSMG so with this you have,assuming you have maxed cores, 522 shields,832 armor,11 hp/s armor regen and 6.7 m/s sprint speed. Fairly tanky,medium armor reps and quite speedy too. With the AHMG you have lower DPS though but higher range. May not be perfect build but it sure is fun
This. Fit new suits as close to your playstyle as possible and wean yourself into new suits.
I have been playing mostly sentinel for YEARS. Running ferros invariably gets me massacred. But when i run plates, reps and cardiac regs or what have you, matching my sentinels closely I am able to basically play a "diet fatty" and because it's my normal playstyle I do better running that "bad fit" than I do with a meta fit.
Your experiences will of course be just as unique.

I can understand your enjoyment of the shield regen - but it's easily countered, you'll have mods for either faster reps or faster rep delay. where as Armor regen there's no counter but a OHK :D
Calsent at 20-30m + AHMG 1v1 vs amsent or galsent...
In my experience the calsent wins.

Amarr assault is what I do it in. Trick is to remember that plate suits don't get remotely similar bennies as ferroscale from kincats. Throwing a single cardiac regulator on instead helps the mobility issues. Not being able to sprint insanely fast is heavily mitigated by being able to sprint forever.

My Shogun and my normal Cal fits have been surviving Republic REs, so maybe that was resolved. That or just luck. Well, the Cal Sent has the most shields. On top of the Sentinel's 25% resistance to Explosive damage, the Explosive damage profile means it does less damage to shields, so Cal Sent is likely the most resistant to Remote Explosives of any suit.
Actually it was the calsent being instagibbed with three shield extenders or more by STD REs that brought the bug to light originally

Actually if the gallente assaults mass swap to assault rifles and BAR, etc then they should balance out well for CQC and fast attack.
The galmando was already pretty solid after the slot changes if we can get all the commando CPU/PG issues sorted.
Galsent will have to wait a little longer for it's day of parity. But I think we have found a way to put it even with the golden fatty.
If rattati decides he likes it, then we might see some progress there.

Standard HMG needs a rework of some kind that doesn't involve merrily sh*tting all over the gallente as the CQC race.
I'll bring it up with Rattati once I get an opening. I want to get some other things pushed theough, like making sure the shield changes are balanced and potentially finishing the next step we have planned before I declare op success and start pushing things for sentinels.
The calsent will be completely unchanged by the current hotfix in case you have not noticed. It was used as the baseline for shield suits.
I'm trying to get the things that affect the highest number of people adjusted fairly first. After that I will see what we can do with the HMG. I have a few ideas. If you nerds want to help me cook numbers It will help my case a lot better.
But a couple requests:
1: it cannot obviate gallente assaults and commandos. If it renders them pointless we have a problem.
2: I would like to simply normalize the heat across tiers for simplicity. This is optional. But it might help our case.
3: we don't marry ourselves to "king CQC" as the only options for rework. The burst HMG is an amazing example of what a heavy weapon in CQC should be. When it's functional. I'm not enamored with shoot a couple times then sidearm as the meta. Powerful is good. Requiring fire discipline is better.
4: I don't want these requests/guidelines to be percieved as demands. But I guarantee you if we can't figure out how to work with #1 we won't be taken seriously.

But this back and forth BS really needs to go. We're ... already fire support... Unless you stand in front of us, other weapons DPS are higher, at longer ranges, in maps that mostly favor such play. Against suits capable of escaping our broken firepower. If it wasn't for objectives themselves being CQC territory heavies wouldn't even have a purpose on the field. Scouts can't say that. But even as it is - scouts finish up what heavies push back. or Assaults. Without the fire-power to do the pushing then you're better off never fielding it. TTK is still too low to justify it's existence. even with high DPS we have such limited range that most of us are forced to put some kind of speed mod on. Take away damage, wtf do we next? Killing is the only way we get WP's too - so how do you off-set the WP loss that we already don't get compared to classes with equipment? I'm not liking this direction at all >_>
The point. you missed it. Right now the sentinel is a mainline brawler, not a suppression/support suit.
Anyone who says that we're a support class right now doesn't understand the concept of supporting or suppressive fire.

Sentinels aren't that common after the HMG nerf bat. Rarely see anything other than proto amarr or gallente suits when I am able to make the pss3 work
WoW has taught me that Purple means Legendary. This means Quafe suits are the optimal loadout for killing all of you.

If you don't kill them outright, you're probably going to die.
This doesn't bug me at a core level.
It's not a shield profile weapon.
But there's a lot wrong with the sentinel IMHO. Has been for a long time.
The first mistake was trying to balance them like the farking TF2 heavy in a game that has mostly open space. Then most of the objectives got moved into cqc clusterf**k areas where fatties were balanced to solidly dominate.
Now we have the current mess.
And I can't lay any of it at the feet of the current dev team.

I'm actually going to find time to be on. We should make fatty squads with logistics players and roll down hills onto people.
Screw that camping points sh*t. Sentinels, commandos and our logibros, on a glorious rampage of murder, assault, fire and pain.

We should gather our logibros and explain why this is unacceptable.

I mostly run calsents and Minsents.

Fox Gaden wrote:I think they should introduce a weight factor, where each frame size has a total weight it can carry at optimal efficiency, and as they go over that wight their movement speed and jump height are reduced proportionally to how much they are overburdened.
It would solve the problem with Brick tanked Scouts, and much better than putting the speed reduction directly on Armor Plates. With weight factors the suits could equip appropriate amounts of armor or shields without penalties, or trade mobility for health to brick tank. (Shield generators for Extenders would be fairly heavy although lighter than plate.)
So your resistance mods could have larger wight factors too.
For that matter we could take the Heavy Only restriction off heavy weapons, and just give them a large weight factor (one that would overburden a naked Scout).
It would provide another balance factor to control fit types by frame size without restricting them completely.
Only problem I have with that is stat spam, honestly. DUST is excessively calculation heavy for an FPS. Making it moreso isn't desirable IMHO.
Because why not?

Is your concern in regard to the load on the hardware to make the calculation, or the effort for the player to make a fit that is not overburdened?
Bit of both.
I'm a firm believer in the rule:
Keep It Simple, Stupid.

Gal Sent looks more like a Gorilla. Gal looks like a bipedal, armored assault rhino that has an impact plate instead of a horn.

I'm not joking when I say hit detection is more forgiving to low RoF weapons. Increasing HMG RoF won't help.
Thaddeus did some work on the burst HMG. Bastard loses somewhere around 67%, sometimes pushing towards 80%, of it's DPS to misses.
Even with a reticle centered on the target.

Nope.
Only the caldari sentinel shield stats are unchanged.
Heavy Frames weren't touched on that passthrough, but all the other sentinels and commandos got adjusted.
