Fox Gaden Immortal Guides Learning Alliance 6352	Posted - 2015.04.22 13:29:00 - [1] - Quote The Bastion is a place for Sentinels and other Heavies to discuss the issues that affect them. A Bastion is a strong point in a fortifications wall, just as a Sentinel is a strong point in the Infantry line. As such I feel The Bastion is a good metaphor the Sentinel. I thought that if Sentinels were to hang out in a bar, The Bastion would be a good name for that bar, so since this is meant to be a place for Sentinels to hang out and discuss the issues that affect them, I felt that was as good a name as any. The Bastion is meant to be to Heavies what The Barbershop is to Scouts, and the Triage Ward is to Logi. Hand/Eye coordination cannot be taught. For everything else there is the Learning Coalition.

Fox Gaden Immortal Guides Learning Alliance 6354	Posted - 2015.04.22 14:52:00 - [6] - Quote Here are a few things worth discussing: Amarr and Gallente heavy weapons using place holders. What should they be, and what art assets in game now could be reskinned to act as a place holder for them? Is the Plasma Cannon the medium frame counter to Sentinels? Does it work well enough for them to stop crying when they canGÇÖt take us 1v1 at 10m with a rifle? Ok, some will always cry, but can we use the Plasma Cannon as a counter argument? If we had a mid range HMG (or Heavy Laser) would the range reduction to the normal HMG be acceptable? How much do you notice the range reduction to the HMG? Was there an effective range reduction, or did the range reduction simply reduce the range on paper to what the actual range due to dispersion actually was? Hand/Eye coordination cannot be taught.

Maybe give it twice the amount of feedback damage I would like to see it do Vehicle Damage as well. I would like to see it be a viable way to strip the Shields off a tank so you can follow up with AV grenades. I would think it would require a lot of time on target, so viable if a Tank got stuck, or on a vehicle in the open if you are able to keep the beam on it long enough. I was thinking it would primarily be an anti Infantry weapon, but with some AV capability, just as the Forge Gun is an AV weapon with some Anti Infantry capability. What I would really like is to have the heat buildup on the target rather than the weapon, so that you could set the damage to build to AV levels after 2 seconds on target. Since any weapon can kill Infantry in 2 seconds on target this would not be OP. However, that would require the addition of a new mechanic to the game (debuffs), so it probably can't happen right now. Hand/Eye coordination cannot be taught.

It won't make sense sure but less tears induced in the process How about we start with the current Laser Rifle, but give it 100% damage against vehicles? If we want the Heavy Laser to have a little more stopping power than the light version we could allow it to heat up a bit more before seizing up. This would mean the potential for higher damage, but it would be delayed (requiring you to pre-heat longer) and it would do more damage to the users (Sentinels have the HP to absorb it). Then you would be able to do Burst HMG level damage at range if you have time to prepare, but when reacting to someone suddenly appearing, or when you are forced to use cover, so that you don't have time to pre-heat, then your damage is that of an UP light weapon. Having no desperation on it would mean you would have to be precisely on target to do damage. I think that would make for an interesting weapon that would be very effective in some situations, but with enough balancing factors to keep it from being OP. Hand/Eye coordination cannot be taught.

I was not really going for novelty. The Barbershop serves a purpose for the Scout community, and the Sentinel community needs to hold internal discussions for similar reasons. Over the last several months the DUST community was crying for nerfs to HMG Sentinels and discussions among the Sentinel community about what should be done were happening in random threads all over the forums. But those threads would be around for a couple of days, and then sink out of site on the General forum. There was no unified and persistent discussion for the Sentinel community to debate issues among ourselves over the long term. I decided that we need a place to gather. That is what I hope for this to be, and as soon as Breakin Stuff gets his ass in here, this thread will start to have some credibility. Hand/Eye coordination cannot be taught.

What should they be, and what art assets in game now could be reskinned to act as a place holder for them? Me and my mate had a discussion about this the other day, and we both agreed that depending on what the heavy weapons are going to be would impact which weapons get reskinned and given new stats. Take the rumoured Plasma Flamethrower, I was thinking about reskinning the Heavy Machine Gun and increase the speed dramaticly to make the plasma coming out seem like a flame. However the rounds should arc downwards and the damage per round would have to be low for balance The Heavy Laser could be a reskinned Forge Gun. It needs to take time to charge up but once it is charged, it fires a concentrated beam for as long as you hold it, it overheats, or you run out of ammunition. Should be used mainly as an AV weapon. We also talked about the plasma mortar but felt the flamethrower would be cooler. Also I am a huge advocate of the Gatling Laser, which is just an HMG reskinned to look Amarrian and fires lasers. I wonder about using the Plasma Rifle art assets for the Gallente Heavy Weapon. That thing is fairly large already. Or the Shotgun. If you see a Sentinel with a Shotgun, it is a safe bet that it is not the light version. Heavy Laser should heat up rather than charge up, so it would do damage as soon as you pull the trigger, just not a lot of damage at first. Just like the Light Laser Rifle. As for the Gatling Heavy Pulse Laser I can't help imagining each barrel using a different spectrum. Hand/Eye coordination cannot be taught. For everything else there is the Learning Coalition.

The Krin's LEX-71 Damage Mod is equivalent to an Advanced Heavy Damage mod that also acts like a Standard Damage mod for your Sidearm. You are losing 1% damage on your heavy weapon, but gaining 4% damage on your sidearm, compared to running a Complex Heavy Damage mod. On my SMG/Forge Gun fit I could not fit Complex Heavy Damage mods with a Proto Forge gun and still have the Proto Kin Cat, but I found I could fit the Krin's LEX-71 BPO Damage mods.

If im near people i normally have a few blues to let me die or a depo close to pull out a gk0 with a proto hmg :D and 1% is a pretty big difference on a forge gun tbh. i would rather have that tank killed than him having 25hp left... well im not gonna reply im gonna go out for a bit I can understand that school of thought. You are a true min/max'er, squeezing water from a stone to get that little extra damage. I tend to go for versatility over min/maxing. Instead of trying for the maximum damage in one area, I prefer to max the overall fit. I even considered giving up a bit more on the forge gun to go with complex sidearm damage mods (that +8% damage was tempting) but I could not make it work without downgrading the Forge Gun, which would have hampered the fit's AV potential too much. I ended up going back to my original fit as it give bonuses to both weapons without sacrificing too much. In a way it is as much about the fitting costs as it is about having damage bonuses for both weapons. Am I correct in guessing that the fitting cost on that BPO Damage Mod is lower than an Advanced Heavy Damage mod? I neglected to check. Hand/Eye coordination cannot be taught.

Fox Gaden Immortal Guides Learning Alliance 6421	Posted - 2015.04.27 12:30:00 - [20] - Quote MINA Longstrike wrote: I have extreme problems with how tanks function currently and would much rather see a system of high raw hp (6000-7000 armor) lower hardening values (~20-25%) and MUCH lower reps (~50-80 or so) so as to develop a system where tanks can be incredibly durable when they need to be but damage inflicted sticks to them and when a tank is forced off it's forced off for a reasonable chunk of time. A big part of the problem is that with the way armor tanks are set up they have absolutely insane effective reps per second and their low health pool isn't a terrible detriment due to the bloated EHP that high resistance hardeners provide. Your suggestion sounds a lot more like a "Tank". Medium HP with higher reps would be better for a MAV. Hand/Eye coordination cannot be taught. For everything else there is the Learning Coalition.

Part of what annoyed me so much was that despite being positioned in a good spot, my full round of shooting did little more than scratch the paint of the tanks. It was argued that this was "Balanced" because (to summarize in a very sardonic manner) "I occasionally scared him a little and made him have to retreat. If there were 4 of me though we could alpha him and that totally isn't fair!" Anyways endrant. I cant wait for vehicle talks to come up again because I'm not very happy with the current vehicle model. My take on it is that you should not be able to solo a Tank with 1 hand held AV weapon unless they are targeting the weak-points on the Tank or the Tanker remains exposed too long. (Excluding from the discussion other tanks, turrets, and Jehad Jeeps.) However, I have no problem with a Scout with a Swarm Launcher, AV Grenades, and Remote Explosives soloing a Tank. I also don't have a problem with a Forge Gunner soloing a tank by shooting it in the Engine block, as long as it requires multiple shots, or taking out a Tank from range as long as they have to reload before finishing it (as in the Tank remained exposed too long.) So, I am ok with AV soloing tanks, but it can't be easy, and it must require multiple factors supporting the AV to make the kill. Hand/Eye coordination cannot be taught.

I have to say, I like it! Of course if I was not specifically trying to test the AHMG I would have switched to a different HMG for that map. It is definitely not what you want to use vs a Cal Sent and his Boundless in CQC, so I died a lot, but I did manage to get into a few running ranged fights and I loved it. After one match it is too early to say for sure, but it did not seem OP to me. You have to aim carefully, and I overheated a number of times, so there is definitely some skill involved. It will take further testing to determine if Rattati got the balance right, but if it is overbalanced it does not feel anywhere near what the Burst HMG felt like when it was first reworked.

Yes, but because of map design. We have to stay either in CQC, or WAY out in the open depending (HMGs/Forge) or we are at a disadvantage in every engagement. The vast majority of hack points are in CQC. Hence, we stay in areas where people will be and where we won't be farmed like giant radishes. Ie. The hack point. If there were more hack points out in the open where we have little to no cover, but roads to and from said points were all CQC, then you would find assaults goal keeping and heavies pushing. Defending a point is not camping. It's a job that someone has to do. Whether it be an HMG heavy, a very good rifle using assault, a mass driver logi, a sniper, or a RE/Shotgun Scout. Someone's got to do it, and there is no shame in it. Killing in their ground spawn so they can't get out of the red line is camping. It is pretty kitteny and ruins the match for everyone on both sides. Hiding in a point where it's hard to get to, and killing people who come by when you are not at all near or related to the hack point is camping. It is somewhat unsportsman like -- but this is New Eden. HTFU. Also no shame. I would like more options as a heavy -- at the moment I don't even pull out my HMG anymore because heavies are too weak for a gunfight (luckily I like forge-gunning) and I WOULD like to go out and do other stuff besides forgegun and HMG near the point.

Some movement might be okay as long as you're aimed down sights and I imagine moving at short range might even be nice as it could allow you to really punish people who are twitching around. I think for any prospective future 'long range anti infantry' weapons there should maybe be some sort of balancing mechanic that makes you want to rely on the sentinels strengths of high hp / decent regen but allows for counterplay by opponents through capitalizing on a sentinels want to stay 'still'.

I tend to prefer a Complex Energizer over an Extender if I can fit it. Amarr has a lot of stamina, so you probably don't need the card regs. I find that 1 Armour Plate makes a big difference on the Amarr Sent for some reason. I think it is just enough to keep you from getting one shotted by a number of things, such as Charged Sniper head shots and such. The Kin Cat mostly makes up for the movement penalty. On my Amarr Speed fits I like to have my Shields and Armour repair at about the same rate if possible. I would go with: *Lows:* Complex Rep, Standard Plate (upgrade if you have fitting capacity), Complex Kin Cat, and then your choice of a second Rep or a second Kin Cat. *High*: Complex Energizer, or that BPO Damage mod if you use your sidearm a lot. That being said, your fit is not bad. Hand/Eye coordination cannot be taught. For everything else there is the Learning Coalition.

Is strafing as important for Sentinels as it is for other classes? I'm considering making a Sentinel alt... Strafing is important if you don't have a Logi repping you. If you do have a Logi repping you, then accuracy is important. You want to take out your opponents as quickly as possible using your buffer to absorb damage and your Logi to get you back up. When your Logi is losing ground to the incoming DPS then strafe back to cover to give your logi a moment to catch back up. Strafing when you have a Logi on you is still a good idea if you can do it without it effecting your accuracy, but applying damage is more important than avoiding damage when you are being repped.

Fox Gaden Immortal Guides Learning Alliance 6	Posted - 2015.06.03 13:46:00 - [86] - Quote The joys of Distraction. This morning I ran a Domination match on the Train map. My Squad Lead and I dropped onto the balcony opposite the Objective and ran to the back of the chamber. Just as we dropped in a Blue Dropship flew into the chamber and proceeded to land near the back wall. So when my Squad Lead and I dropped off the catwalk at the back of the chamber we found 5 or 6 Reds standing around the Blue Dropship starring at it. None of them were looking at us. I think I took two out before they even realized what was happening and I took at least one more down before they downed me with the help of rifle fire from the opposite balcony. I respawned on a nearby Uplink and came charging back. The RedGÇÖs had respawned at the same time and 5 or 6 of them started chasing my squad Lead who was running APEX Scout. As I was running on the catwalk to the back of the chamber my Squad Lead was running the other way in the passage below, ducking from cover to cover. The last of the Reds ran under me just as I was dropping down at the back of the chamber, so I turned and mowed him down as soon as my feet hit the ground. Now as it happened I had spawned in a Min Sentinel fit with 2 Kin Cats, so I took off after them. Since my Squad Lead was firing back whenever he stopped at cover, the chase was not a flat out run, as they were stopping to fire as well. So gave chase and started picking off the stragglers one by one with my Burst HMG. By the time my Squad Lead had reached the Train I had taken out all but one of his pursuers. The last guy had gotten too far away, so I turned around and headed back toward the point. I think the greatest join of being a HMG Sentinel is when you drop in behind a full squad who are distracted by something in the other direction, particularly if they are on the move and you can pick of the stragglers. It does not happen often, but soloing an entire squad has got to be the highlight of a SentinelGÇÖs day. Hand/Eye coordination cannot be taught. For everything else there is the Learning Coalition.

I dropped the whole idea behind having an alt. i mean at some point you are just splitting your ressources and giving yourself a headache going back and forth and wishing you had x skill that you have on your alt. I had 2 alts and i deleted them. ppl might say i should of kept them. If you think about the fact that you get sp per match, in the long run, it's more beneficial to have a single character. and the longer you have an alter, the more you are stuck having that alt permanently. it's easier to kill off an alt with 2-3 mil sp then one that has 20-30 mil sp. When I created my Alt, Crash Gaden, the weekly Skill Point Cap was still low enough that I would hit it once in a while, and then it made more sense to play on an Alt. The other reason to have an Alt is so that you can try different play styles with the Passive Skill points they have accumulated. (All my alts are on separate accounts.) Fox was always my main, but I used Crash to try HMG Sentinel and it turned out that I was better as a Sentinel than any other Class, even though Sentinels were not that great in Uprising 1.3 when I created Crash. As a result I played Crash Gaden almost exclusively for about a year, to the point where Crash had more skill points than Fox. I had been using Fox to experiment with other play styles for a while, but eventually I got around to skilling him into Sentinel so I could play him as my main again.

The pitiful damage and/or the rapid heat build up is a problem IMO. The burst is useless if 2-3 guys are coming at you and one of them is a sentinel. 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. The damage on the normal HMG may have been nerfed a bit to much, but not enough to break it. The HMG is still an effective weapon in the right situation. To use the Burst HMG against multiple targets you have to repeatedly switch between your Burst HMG and your sidearm in the middle of the fight. Generally 3 bursts and switch, use your sidearm for a few seconds and switch back to your Burst HMG. It takes practice to get used to it, but it can be quite effective. At 10m I am fairly sure the normal HMG will still beat the Assault HMG, but at 25m the Assault definitely starts to have the advantage. When using the Assault HMG I often find just backing up a few feet makes a big difference. If you are the one with the normal HMG, back around a corner and make them come to you.

So instead what I'd like to see is something more akin to the tribes plasma mortar, crossed with a plasma cannon from the dawn of war / space marine games. Essentially I'd give it two firemodes, differentiated by charge-up times. The first mode fires like this gameplay which is just a straight mid-range non-hitscan projectile that say, does about 500 damage, with 200 splash in a 2.5m aoe at a ~50-60 RoF. This projectile wouldn't have much 'weight' to it, and would probably travel out to about 50-60m (1second travel time?) before disappearing or contacting ground. Then to make things interesting, I'd allow it to be charged and charging it dramatically increases damage and to a lesser extent increases splash range&dmg (so a fully charged shot would increase damage to something like say 1500, with 350splash in a 5m aoe), but it also makes the projectile heavier so you have to lob it at your target. A fully charged shot would probably look something like this bit of gameplay and while it would do much more damage, it would be about twice as heavy and a little bit slower (cutting its range to about half and requiring it to be shot upwards to achieve the same total travel distance). The charge would require about three seconds. This mode of fire could in theory be used in open areas and shot out to say, 200m if arced properly. As for ammo in magazine, it would have maybe 9 shots in magazine but charging it would cause it to consume 3x the ammo - so you'd either get 9 uncharged shots, or three charged shots. It either fires uncharged or charged no inbetweens. Uses modified forge-gun projectiles and... i dunno for a launcher Thoughts? I like it. So by charging it in this case would mean how much plasma is pumped into the containment field of the round, making the charged shot heavier but also making it do more damage. The charged shot would be good for lobbing into sniper nests on top of structures, using the arc to hit them even when they pull back. Shooting the thing would require some skill, as the charged shot would probably have even more arc than a mass driver. Hand/Eye coordination cannot be taught.

It took me a moment to realize that I had run entirely out of HMG ammo.

I don't use meta beyond STD in pubs, so I've been seen in all 4 races suits trying out different things, and on alts I've proto out and have done everything possible a heavy can do between 50 different alts. I'm a tad out of date, though, as i've been gone for several months. Seems HMG took a range nerf, AHMG is now AV and better vs Infantry with strafe nerf it's about to get another boost. But for the most part everything else is the same which means... Minmatar is still a public only pub stomp suit, it's strafe makes it ideal for casual players looking to pad stats and grind as quickly as possible, as i don't believe any other combination of any other suit or weapon beats the Min/HMG out-put in a pub game for cost vs effectiveness. But it's limited actual use in competitive play makes it more vulnerable then the Amarr or Caldari who are capable of keeping sustained fire on themselves and then rep themselves. It is, however, the best heavy for players who want to pretend they're a glorified scout on there objective - you'll be more useful then any assault suit, but if your enemy knows what they're doing you'll be grinding your teeth as your speed amounts to nothing thanks to your hit box. Caldari would still be the hardest hitting of the heavies, with the best AV. Shields are pretty weak atm with ScR use everywhere, so this suit probably is better left for situational AV roles. The increase DPS with high slots is very unhelpful tbh. Gallente - has no role, has no use, has no purpose. It's better then the Caldari or Minmatar for point defense and survability, but is so completely out-classed in every way by the Amarr that its pointless to pick this suit. Amarr - the do all suit. Best health, best reps, best speed, and if you know how to AV you'll realize a very fast moving forge gun is dangerous as hell to ADS and Tankers. So I should put you down for all 4? I have to say though that this is probably one of the most pessimistic reviews of the Sentinel suits I have seen from a Sentinel in quite some time. When the Shield mechanics are buffed a bit (requiring a minimum damage to interrupt shield recharge) the Minmatar and Caldari suits will compete better with the Amarr, and the Gallente is really not that far behind the Amarr in usefulness.

Gall Sent only had 2 lows at STD, but now you leave the High slots empty and use 3 Lows at STD for Brick, Regen or Speed. Or you can make a damage fit and leave some lows empty. Min Sent gets access to those two low slots at STD, so you can leave the highs empty and rock the fastest Sentinel at a reasonable price.

The Sentinel with the most low slots will be the best for Armor. If the slot layout was switched back the Gal Sent would be best for Armor and best for Reps. I think we are in a better balance position with the current slot layouts and giving the Gal Sent a larger native rep bonus. The Min Sent already has a speed advantage over the Amarr Sent, as Kin Cats have a stacking penalty. Currently a Min Sent with 1 Kin Cat has the exact same speed as an Amarr Sent with 2 Kin Cats. (Because of the difference in base speed.) Due to stacking penalties the Amarr Sent can never compete for speed with a 2 Kin Cat Min Sent. (I often run a 2 Kin Cat min Sent, I know.)

More base HP, more native armor reps, and resistance to RR and CR, which are popular. I might put a Kin Cat, a plate and an armor repper in the lows? Kin Cats are an old habit of mine bc of solo reasons. Habits hard to break. I don't really know much about fitting it. I like my warlord but don't know anything else so... But I'm open to suggestions. While the Min Sent is a fun fit which I play a lot, it is somewhat limited to the one play style. If you need to stand and deliver while defending a point, the Min Sent is not your best choice. The Gal Sent can be fitted with a Kin Cat or two to play a bit like a Min Sent, but can also stack Plates if you have Loti support, or fit out a combination. Although fitting a plate does negate some of the advantage of a Kin Cat, I find one Standard Plate seems to do a lot for survivability. (Not getting 1 shotted by Snipers etc.) With 3 low slots the fit I would run most would have a Proto Kin Cat, Proto Rep, and Standard Armor Plate. Use cover as much as possible, and don't reengage until your shields are starting to regen. An ideal rep balance will have your Armor finish repairing at about the same time as your shields are fully up. If you have the fits to play with you might have one with 2 reps and a Plate for defending a point, and have one with 2 Kin Cats and a Rep for hit & run tactics (with two Kin Cats you will be slightly faster than a Min Sent with 1 Kin Cat.) Have an Assault HMG fit to use on more open maps, where you expect to be engaging enemy at 30m to 40m range rather than 10m - 25m where the standard HMG works better.

You might consider dropping one Myo in exchange for a precision mod. I'm still playing with it myself to test out but a bit more TacNet awareness can (for me at least) really help Sentinel play. Some of this will of course be personal taste, but I think it's something that folks will have fun with. This morning I saw an HMG Sentinel walk into the objective slot to hack. I came around the corner behind him and since he was hacking I took an extra moment to try to line up a head shot with my burst. But he stopped hacking, and turned to engage before I even got my first shot off. I was like "How did he know I was there?" Maybe he had a precision mod. Or maybe he was using a trick I sometimes use, which is to start hacking for a second or two and then turn around to see if a defender has come to prevent the hack. It is a good tactic when you are ninja hacking a point without backup. The people defending the point will show up in the first couple of seconds. If you can kill them, you should be able to get the hack in before they respawn and get back to stop you. Of course if you interrupt you hack you may be giving up an opportunity, so I normally only do it if I suspect there are defenders close by. Hand/Eye coordination cannot be taught.

By the time you are done the eggs and toast should be just about right. HMG toast, eggs and bacon. Now crack a stout and you got yourself a Sentinel's breakfast.

That would give the suit plenty of options with its low slots without having to fit a Rep, or be able to compete with Amarr as a full Rep fit, although, I find that full reps is not as effective as mixing things up a bit. A green bottle fixes the stamina problem, and if Gal Sent had enough native repts, they could afford to use a slot for a biotic. Also, resistance to Rail Rifles, Sniper Rifles, and Bolt Pistols is nice, even if it does not help against other Sentinels. Amarr Sent: For general use I suggest 1 standard plate (it seems to get you over a health threshold and you die less to snipers and don't seem to get one shotted by shotguns). The movement penalty is less on the Standard plate than the Proto. Then fit at least 1 Proto Rep mod. Finally I like to put a Kin Cat on there, although sometime I run extra Rep mods instead. This is how you fit an Amarr Sent for self sufficiency. Just don't forget you got to duck behind cover for longer periods to regen if you don't have a Logi. At least wait until your shields are mostly back up before reengaging. If you don't pay attention to your own health bar, don't come complaining to me when you die a lot. Min Sent: 3 Myos and 2 Kin Cats is hands down the most fun Sentinel fit... but I die at least twice as often as I do in the Amarr fit, and I don't get all that many more kills than in the Amarr suit. That being said, I get more opportunities to kill, so a really good player who could consistently land rounds on target, would probably get lots of kills in this setup.

That is a good scenario, however it is rare that the enemy will rush the point if they don't control the roof, so usually if you guard the point you are either getting shot from above, or you are standing there twiddling your thumbs with no action.

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. You are right of course. Maybe I should try pulling our my Caldari fit next time and try to stick to the roof. Part of my problem I think is that I mostly play an hour before Down Time, so I am mostly fighting Lord British, Nyan San, Nyan Chan, and assorted other good players. I seem to do way better in PUBs if I play in American Prime Time rather than Japanese Prime Time. There are a lot more bad players on to make me look good. Hand/Eye coordination cannot be taught.

We can have a great discussion without the need to constantly crap all over the Gal Sent, it just depends on how you go about it. And for the record, I'd go with Fox's buff if we did push for one. Fox's idea with rep buff isn't thought out enough. If Gals get a rep bonus then they'll need to lose a little of something else - there is a 'somewhat' balance CCP tried to hit between the suits, and you have to consider how OP reps can be in the right hands. the EHP value of the suit would need readjusting and considering. And, honestly, all the suits need a rep buff and armor nerf, over-all. Bring each suit down by 70-90 health, add 1-2 reps, then give Gal and extra 2-3 more and replace some of it's shield for more armor to level out it's EHP values. This would level the playing field between it and the Amarr, which would in turn make it more viable over-all in the few roles it can properly set itself for. It doesn't have the stamina to put the lows to real use - so it's only real purpose would be holding a point. Gal should be the most self-sufficient of the heavy suits - but it's the opposite, and any solution that we can think of should consider that as there 'speciality' role to achieve for heavies. Your proposed solution has merit, but changes a lot of variables. The four Sentinel suits are quite well balanced right now, with the Gal Sent just slightly behind the other three. Changing so many variables will likely have unforeseen consequences which might well lead to a worse balance situation than what we have now. Adding 2 HP/sev native rep does not need to be balanced with a nerf. The lack of Stamina balances it, along with several other factors. If you want to be more mobile, add a Cardiac Regulator (green bottle). Gal Sent has enough low slots to add a green bottle, but you have to give up something else to do so. Versatility comes with sacrifice. You can stack lots of Rep or lots of Armor, but you will be stuck with point defense, or you can sacrifice some rep, or some armor, and have enough stamina to move between objectives effectively. Shadowed Cola wrote: In all honesty the best solution is switch back the Amarr and Gal slots - it would pretty much even the playing field between Gal, Amarr, and Cal.

Would make more sense to drop their shield HP. Switching back the slots would just enrage the AmSent users unless the base armour was buffed to offset the lost slot. The Amarr's EHP is actually the highest atm. Amarr Sent users have no room to complain if they made this switch back on those basis, they'd still have the highest EHP values, they'd just lose there ability to overspecialize. And i find that a good thing for the meta of the game - heavies really take away from the fun of this game when spammed because it can be mobile or overly self-sufficient with the best DPS and health in the game But the Amarr suit has plenty going for it - and having the highest stamina + highest armor + 4 lows was always, always a bad idea. Sometimes i wish i could have 1v1's with Rat to figure out what direction he was heading with some of these changes. It made more sense with Gal - it still wouldn't be a viable armor stacker with low stamina, and it could finally achieve reps that, with 640 base armor, wouldn't feel too OP or un-counterable. CCP could even take a bit of a risk, replace the Armor for Shiled on the Gal instead, make it's total armor HP 450, and give it a base natural 10 reps. With it's hitbox, speed, and low health paired with high rep and 3 lows you could have a very interesting yet not OP suit. An argument could be made that any Sentinel with 4 low slots will have the advantage over other Sentinels. I would be fine with giving both the Amarr and Gallente the same 2 high / 3 low slot layout at Proto, but giving the Gal Sent 2 more HP/Sec native Rep, and giving the Amarr a bit more Armor (yes I know they already have the most, but by losing a low they would be losing their current max potential). This would allow both suits to follow their Factional preference of Reps for Gallente, and Armor for Amarr, while taking away a little of the Min/Max potential and flexibility that the 4 low slots gives the Amarr Sent currently.

Fox Gaden Immortal Guides Learning Alliance 7	Posted - 2015.10.15 12:58:00 - [181] - Quote I forced myself to run the standard HMG (Construct) this morning. I was running Amarr Sent at first, and switched to Call Sent half way through due to a good Mass Driver wielding Min Assault who I was having trouble with. Most of my deaths, aside from that Min Assault with the Mass Driver, was to a Corporal and 2 Privates from NPC Corps who were running Shotgun Scouts fits. They were probably alts of experienced DUST players because they played well for the most part, but I probably had the gear and definitely the Skill Point advantage. My only kills against the Shotgun Scouts was during the brief time when I switched to running the Burst HMG. I find with the Burst HMG vs Shotgun I have a 50/50 chance of winning and most of it is based on player skill and luck. But I needed to test the standard HMG, so I switched back to it, and I donGÇÖt think I won a single close in fight against the Scouts with it. Even when I was getting hits while causing them to miss, or was fighting them from beyond their optimal, so that it took them six shots to kill me, I still died before I could kill them. I went 9/16, with one of those kills being with my new Magsec and at least 2 being with the Burst HMG. My conclusion is that the standard HMG seems rather anemic. Sure it is easier to use than the Burst HMG because you can spray while aiming and are more likely to hit strafing or jumping targets that way, but it barely seems any better than the Assault HMG in close combat. And I was comparing the Proto HMG to the Advanced Assault & Burst as I never run Proto with those two. While yes, I think that a Shotgun Scout should have the advantage against an HMG Sentinel in CQC, if the Scout can't kill the Sentinel in 3 shots the Sentinel should have a good chance of winning the fight. If the Sentinel can't win the fight when the Scout has to take 6 shots to kill him, then something is wrong, and I don't think it was my pore aim that was to blame this time. I was getting hits.

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).

Fox, I still need help learning the ways of the independent min heavy even after reading the guide about the assault heavy. Any more tips or possible fittings? Currently when running Min Sent I run a fit with 3 Myos and 2 Kin Cats. I had to drop the sidearm to make it fit. I use a standard Assault HMG with the fit, as the jumpy speed fit does not lend itself to the precision required for the Burst. It is also fun to jump on top of tanks with this fit which only makes sense if you can do damage to them. If you stack 3 Myos, don't forget that you can one punch kill almost any light or medium suit. (Fun with Nova Knife scouts.) If you have it, the Quafe skin is totally appropriate for this fit. If you want a more serious fit, keep the two Kin Cats in the lows (or a Kin Cat and a Armor Repair or Shield Regulator), then put an Energizer and some Extenders in the high slots. Remember that jump height is proportional to speed, so even if you don't have Myos equipped, a Kin Cat will make you jump higher if you jump while sprinting, which is important if you get stuck on terrain.

Min Sentinel version has 7.44 sprint speed (If I remember it correctly). Min Heavy Frame version has 7.71 sprint speed. It performed well during the 5 minutes I had to test it in an Ambush before down time. Obviously not enough testing to draw any real conclusions yet. On paper it does not seem like that small speed difference would be even noticeable, much less giving up the role bonuses for, but sometimes there are practical thresholds in the game which cause results to differ from expectations.

Mass drivers are a much bigger problem when you don't have the 25% resistance, but with the jumpy fit you can reduce damage by jumping away from the center of the explosion which is usually on the ground. I had some really fun 1v1 fights with a Plasma Cannon/Nova Knife scout. His was also a jumpy fit. I could jump over his head, but he would try to jump up and slash me mid air.

Or you can drop the Grenade. Stick to Basic Plate to reduce movement penalty. A Basic Armour Repair may be good enough as well, as you don't have a lot of armor to repair anyway. Go Proto for Energizer and Kin Cats. Everything else can be downgraded if necessary. Of course with Proto and Officer suits you don't have to make as many sacrifices. HMG's: HMG: Good for fighting multiple targets in close quarters. Good for a tough fit with logi support, or if you can get in close using cover to avoid long range engagements. Burst HMG: Good for close to mid range 1 v 1 fights. Good use of cover can break down a multi target engagement into a series of 1 v 1 encounters. A sidearm is important, as you may have to switch weapons when you are being pressed and the Burst HMG is heating up (more of an issue on the Advanced than the Proto). The Burst can kill very fast, so I recommend it for low health fits such as the 2 Kin Cat fit. Assault HMG: Good for Mid range combat and anti vehicle work. Try to maintain some distance between you and your target. Functional, but not great in close quarters. Try not to let Scouts get close. Vary effective at 20m to 30m. Works with fast fits that can control range and access cover quickly. Good for tough fits that can stand and deliver. Good with Resilient fits if they use cover to recover mid engagement.

I also like to put a single basic plate on my Amarr Sent fits, as it seems to get me over a HP threshold that prevents me from getting one shotted by Snipers. The Min Sent fit I have mostly been using recently has two Kin Cats and no armor repair, other than the native reps. It is important to play this fit as a Shield suit. Dipping a little into armor once in a while is fine, but if you lose a lot of armor it will be a long time before you get it back. This fit becomes dramatically more resilient if someone has been dropping Rep Hives, as the mobility of the fit allows you to sprint over and top yourself up when needed. So I usually fit Amarr Sent as: Resilient, Tough, Fast, Mobile; or sometimes just: Resilient, Tough, Mobile With Min Sent I fit: Fast, Mobile (2 Kin Cats, 3 Myofibs) This is a very good flanking fit as it can actually jump over rails (Something that I hear is inherent in all suits in Nova), but it has less than 1000 HP and very poor armor recovery. I use an Assault HMG and make heavy use of cover. These two approaches are at opposite ends of the spectrum. Hand/Eye coordination cannot be taught.

I don't mind the inate speed of it and think it's still fast to flank around. On the low's I'll run a Enegizer, myo to get over thosre curbs that mock heavies, as well as a ext. I quite like it and if my armor gets hit I can still have a good chance of surviving with that rep working to help. That is a solid fit, and more versatile, not to mention survivable, than the glass cannon fit I use. It is more like the fits I used to run when Fox was only skilled into Min Sent.

It was bad enough when my character jumped every time I started to sprint, but when I called in a tank and found myself switching seats in the middle of a tank battle without pressing triangle, that was too much.

Sadly I'm one of those try hards that uses the keyboard and mouse when playing the game. Do like that about ccp allowing use of it. Guess it's from playing internet spaceships almost every day. <3 I expect I will ware out some mice if Project Nova gets green lit. Of course once I am playing with a keyboard and mouse I will be giving up one of my best excuses for why I suck. I never used a console before DUST after all, but I have been using mice since 1985.

This is good, as that is the role that Cal Sent was supposed to be best at. Amarr Sent is still good solo, but is no longer the Best in that role. It still can be made to be a lot more mobile than the Cal Sent though, so it is still a good suit for solo play, but overall, I think the Sentinels have been better balanced since the Shield Recharge on the Amarr Sent was reduced. It just took me accidentally spawning in my Cal Sent fit for me to realize it. Yeah, I know this is the last days of DUST, but since NOVA will likely use the stats from DUST to save time on balancing, balance in DUST, even in the last days, is still a relevant discussion.
