Yeah, on my Amarr fits I like to have enough armor repair that if I am almost dead and get to cover, my armor hits 100% around the same time as my shields. 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.

Been logi'ing since release. Need to give those needles and self proclaimed king of logi hugs ^-^

Fox Gaden Immortal Guides 7626	Posted - 2016.04.18 13:39:00 - [1443] - Quote I played a match this morning. I joined a game where my team was already Red Lined. My KDR for the game was only 0.5, but I am fairly sure I won the game. It was a Domination match. I hacked twice and counter-hacked once. Despite the other team having twice the clone count for most of the time I was there we managed to blow their MCC before they could clone us. Our clone losses seemed to slow once I had hacked and we switched to defending. Anyway, I mention it because it was one of these games where I felt like my team would not have won without me, even though I had a pitiful KDR. (I had not played in a few weeks, having just gotten back from the Caribbean, so it was a good 4 or 5 minutes before got used to the controls again and could hit anything.)

Since I went with the Min Sent I would imagine that a number of these would naturally take priority over the others, but if I were to rate these independently of the suit I was using: Tough Resilient Fast Mobile (I imagine this would just be Myofibs) If you could also give a fit for: Fast Resilient Tough Mobile I would love you long time <3 I mainly went with the Min Sent because I saw I had 38 Duke's

Lows: 2 Armour Plates Weapons: HMG, or Burst HMG Tough, Resilient: Highs: Complex Energizer, 2 Complex Shield Extenders Lows: Armour Plate, Reactive Plate Weapons: All 3 HMG types work with this fit. Resilient, Tough, Fast: Highs: Complex Energizer, 2 Complex Shield Extenders Lows: Shield Regulator, Armour Repair Weapons: All 3 HMG types work with this fit. Fast, Resilient, Tough: Highs: Complex Energizer, 2 Complex Shield Extenders Lows: Complex Kin Cat, Armour Repair (can be basic) Weapons: All 3 HMG types work with this fit. Fast, Fast, Resilient Shields: Highs: Complex Energizer, 2 Shield Extender Lows: 2 Complex Kin Cats Weapons: Burst, or Assault HMG Fitting: If you don't have enough PG/CPU and you are not using a Burst HMG it is safe to drop the sidearm. 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.

Lord Vahzz 323	Posted - 2016.04.26 14:57:00 - [1450] - Quote In my opinion, repairing is always beneficial over more bulk. I know from experiance how to preserve 20HP of armor on a brick tanked Amarr Sent with no ***** logi in sight on your tail in an important PC, and it is ***** hell. Always have a form of recovery, never stay out in the open, alleyways and rooms are your best friend. You will marry your point, and let no one touch it at all cost. Being a Sentinel is both the best and the worst, just like being a scout. And dammit fox, that Resilient, Tough, Fast fit is downright sexy There is a fine line between not listening and not caring, I like to think i walk that line every day of my life.

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. Been logi'ing since release.

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.

General Vahzz 732	Posted - 2016.04.28 15:36:00 - [1454] - Quote Most of my fits usually have reactives and reps, unless it is a scout. I used to adamantly run nothing but an AHMG, but the Burst and the Forge Gun changed my mind. Whenever I actually do play, it is usually with a MLT Forge. Fun as hell.

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.

Fox Gaden Immortal Guides 7744	Posted - 2016.05.19 14:50:00 - [1460] - Quote Since the shield recharge was rebalanced on the Amarr Cent (Yeah I know that was quit a long time ago, but I have mostly been playing Min Sent since then) I find the Cal Sent is best for point defense without Logi support. 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.
