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....

I believe that point defense is the way to go with most sentinels. I'm going to assume because of your corp that you will be going Amarr Sentinel. Best run with a logi and do the fat man shuffle (strafe side to side) in fire fights. Today's special: PAIN Comes with a side of salads and mash potatoes.

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. Hnolai ki tuul, ti sei oni a tiu.

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. There's never enough sh**posting going on, so let's add a few more teaspoons of the guy posting after me to the recipie!

Mass Driver on Sentinels, even the Amarr Sent, can cause some scary supression. The Lazer can keep you out of most assault ranges, so you can take less damage. Make it a more hulking assault. Really the Sentinel can use any weapon to some extent of auccess. Despite the HMG being it's only heavy weapon (besides forge) it isn't bonded to it strictly. I use the Amarr Sentinel, until i spec back into my beloved Scout. I use 2/2 armor/reps. The Amarr suits are very close to the Gallente, in regards to armor that is. It is still the OG. And i only use the AHMG if I have to. It is deadly, but other stuff can be more fun. So really, have fun with the fits. Be creative. "I bring nothing; I bless nothing, I save nothing, I just; erase. Completely. Shatter."

Another option is to make a flank and gank heavy. If you want to avoid light weapons, which you really don't have to do, try a MinSent with some Kinkat love. You can move shockingly fast and can flank groups, drop a guy or two with a burst HMG (hardest to use, but most rewarding once you learn it) and get the hell outta dodge. It isn't the same as long range suppression, but often has a similar effect of keeping groups of people from changing locations easily.

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.... First I am just going to go out on a limb here and assume you are using the Amarr Sentinel. 1) I always enjoyed putting a Kin Cat or two on my Amarr Sent. Makes it a little less slow. (I liked a Rep, a Plate, and 1 or 2 Kin Kats depending on the level of the suit.) 2) Keep pressuring Rattati for a placeholder Heavy Laser. If we get it, and it works good, maybe we can argue for one little bitty art asset. If not, we would get the new art asset for any placeholders when we move to a new platform (probably in the next 18 months). Hand/Eye coordination cannot be taught. For everything else there is the Learning Coalition.

Megaman Trigger Ready to Play 329	Posted - 2015.05.13 15:50:00 - [319] - Quote All suit classes should be able to do two things without restriction; kill and hack. Denying Sentinels the ability to hack, so they become defence only, would be like denying Scouts the ability to kill so they become recon only. Purifier. First Class.
Jonny D Buelle Mors Effera 1412	Posted - 2015.05.13 16:22:00 - [320] - Quote I hate that idea. It takes away WP gain and (IMO) makes our job as point defence harder. Let's say they hack the objective, my squads kills them but I'm the last one standing. Well I wouldn't be able to do sht until my squad gets there. And if there isn't an uplink or CRU nearby... Point is Sentinels need to be able to hack. Today's special: PAIN* Comes with a side of salads and mash potatoes.

Its actually a very legitimate strategy. You wouldn't want to leave it defenseless and let the other team capture it and win it. Sentinels are best at this because of our high eHP and the ability to use the HMG. Camping would be sitting by an enemy uplink, going into their spawn or sitting by a CRU they have.

It's why I want a medium range heavy weapon, I want to move around the objective and hunt people from different spots.
