I stay out of trouble by only playing DUST when my wife is playing video games. And I do all my theory crafting at work. Cool

What races does SoTa PoP run?

Amarr, mostly. 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I'm a tad out of date, though, as i've been gone for several months.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. (Of course I would probably give Gallente a bit more native rep if it was up to me.)

Fox Gaden Immortal Guides Learning Alliance 6	Posted - 2015.06.29 12:42:00 - [581] - Quote I finally got to play a bunch of games on the weekend, so I was in the groove this morning, actually managing to hit what I aimed at, which has not been happening consistently for a while. I was just about to take out two HMG Sentinels. I think my new Skin and the success I had against them earlier in the match may have been physicking them out, since they were having trouble hitting me. The one I was shooting at was well into armor and the other had just finished a fight with a Blueberry and only had about 3 notches of armor left. I had just switched from my sidearm back to my Burst, which was fully cooled and ready to rumble. ... then my HMG stopped firing... no reload sequence... nothing! It took me a moment to realize that I had run entirely out of HMG ammo. By the time I realized and switched to my SMG I had lost the initiative and did not quite manage to kill the first Sentinel before they both zeroed in and took me out. Hero to Zero... just like that! Watch your ammo supply folks! Hand/Eye coordination cannot be taught. For everything else there is the Learning Coalition.

I have more issues with heat management, to be honest, I sometimes forget the limit when dealing with groups or other sentinels. I'd like it if the heat gauge was moved to the side of the reticle. Would help a lot. Purifier. First Class.

Would help a lot. My issue was not having to reload. It was having nothing left to reload with. I agree on the heat gauge, although I have been using the Burst consistently enough to keep track of heat through counting bursts and watching the color of the gun barrels. I find I overheat more with the Assault HMG, as I don't use it as often and don't instinctively know its limitations yet. Hand/Eye coordination cannot be taught.

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. WoW has taught me that Purple means Legendary.
