I'm a merc, I'll use whatever I think works best. Loyalty be damned, I'm a Sentinel first and foremost.
One day there will be an Amarr heavy weapon, and on that day I will be blind to CCP's blunders up until that point. But alas, such is an ever-distant dream I hold onto so dearly...... The day I get the Sentinel equivalent of a Buster, or the Dust equivalent of an SG1 Staff Cannon, everything dies. Then how about a deal, IF we do get our racial weapons, how about we go on a hunt for each other? By the time that happens, I'll probably be playing Eternal Crusade on PS4
At least you did not say PS5... you still have some optimism.

Well EC was confirmed for PS4, just sometime after the PC launch.
Sentinel weapons for Dust? We'll see.

Cannot like enough.
I probably should try using a mouse for Forge work. I use the DS3 and having hipfire only makes aiming the AFG a pain sometimes.

Eternal Crusade you say? Yum.
I really should play that Alpha, I'm just left with such a bitter taste in my mouth about steam that I'm not sure it's worth it to me (especially considering I have almost no free time  but in my theoretical dreams I can play it).
Ah well, I'll try it out after release at the least. It has a lot of the elements - or is slated to have - that I've enjoyed about Guild Wars 2 world vs world play.
On a more Sentinel related topic, have you guys checked out the shield thread?
I've seen some scouts and logis in there but I'd love some more heavy voices as well. o7

I'll be last into the Alpha as I only have the warrior pack.
I've been checking the Shield threads, just haven't had much to add that hasn't already been added.

When i first started forging i wanted to master the breach but I realized that I would've done better with the assault variant.

I'm working an an equipment overhaul at the moment. From my own play as I heavy I tend to adopt a "as long as I have reps and hives to feed on I don't care" experience. But I'd like to hear the input of my fellow sentinels as as not to overlook something.
Presuming the nanites keep flowing are you folks worried about anything?
Concerned you'll start getting scanned alot? (Oh wait, that's right )
On edge about how often you'll be able to run a Proxies, or REs? (oh, um... sorry, moving on)
Outraged by the notion that you might not be able to carry all the nanohives you'll ever need on your own suit? (okay, gee, looks like I'm bad at this lol)
Anyway, point being I don't want to assume. Give me your thoughts my FG and HMG toting kin

Maybe if maps actually supported team play and not camp heavies could find another use for ourselves.
I honestly blame a good amount of balance issues on practical uses because maps enable cheap and uncounterable positions if there other side knows what they're doing.
What exactly is the heavy counter, anyways? I can pay good amount of money for my suit - so is there another suit someone has to pay in too to compete fairly with me and not copy me?
Those are the issues with heavies that I have, currently. If you could supply me with a chart of HMG/Forge/Heavy suits I'd like to do some number crunching too - and the value of all weapon types, armors, etc. |

Breach, IMO, is the best at range because you have time, which you need. Assault is great as shorter ranges because of the charge time but requires better aim since you can't hold the shot.
I favour the vanilla for general play, use the BFG for first shot of an AV team strike and the AFG for solo AV.

Scans aren't a concern, since we're practically perma-scanned anyway.
REs are less of an issue now, they don't get thrown around nearly as much.
My main thought as a Sentinel is ammo, reps are a secondary thought unless my HP is critical

I have a question. I started using my burst hmg and I LOVE it. What side arm are you guys using with it? Normaly I use a bolt pistol for range with my hmg's. With the burst however, I have been using a breach smg. Since I am switching back and forth in cqc, to manage heat. Seems to work. Just wanted to get advice from my fellow Sents on their experience, and see if I am over looking a weapon.
Thank you

You have the right idea - 2 bursts then switch to side arm. Get used to that and you'll feel like a boss. |

Lead with a Flux if you can, so your bursts don't have to hit the shields first. Squeeze of three bursts max then switch to your side arm.
Which suit are you using?

So I've been running my Gal Sent with an AFG and BSMG, with two side arm mods in the highs, and it's been holding up very well in CQC firefights. Using a Plate and two reps in the lows, giving me decent HP and rep rate while having enough firepower to defend myself while (slowly) moving into positions.

AScR and breach AR will do it. AScR is faster.
PLC.
Roden Sniper can one-shot your ass with a headshot.
REs will still instagib any sentinel.
Assault SMG and Breach SMG if you get the drop on the fatty and can strafe with any speed.
Shotguns and NKs from behind.
Scrambler Pistol headshots (fatties have a larger hitbox for the head)
there's several ways to counter heavies. the problem is most heavies are either on a logi leash, or they have buddies running flanker.

Yoooooo, locked immediately. I guess CCP can't handle the goon in me. Best CPM.

They're hardly bane's of our existence when it requires getting into our optimal range to use against us.
Those weapons are lucky to get the heavy kill if the heavy notices them |

Plus even the APEX Sentinels have enough HP to live through a basic RE. Hardly anyone uses anything above basic REs, so we can hack a mine'd point without too much worry. I've lost count of the times I've been hacking a point in my Forge-wielding Shogun, had an RE go off and just kept hacking.

not true. Basic REs oddly will kill a heavy outright even though the math says otherwise.

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

Issue is that the resistance doesn't trigger with REs, possibly because the resistance is for weapons and REs are classed as equipment.
Shields resistance to splash damage still triggers by the look of things. Both my APEX Cal and Gal fits have just under 1250 total HP but can eat one basic/Republic RE blast and live.

Just seen the Hotfix info; anyone else concerned about the grenade damage or is it just me?
Also, did I read right and all explosive weapons, including Locus Grenades, will deal full damage vs vehicles? Might have to start carrying the Packed Locus if that's true.
