No more buff's to armor, only Medium suit's got shield stat changes (and commando), buffing the Gal Sentinel mean's buffing the Cal Sentinel, and by all mean's, both are pretty freakin' hard to kill already.

OR:

We could reevaluate Sentinels as a class, so that they all get more than a buncha LAME BORING PASSIVE NOT ACTIVE TRASHY resistance bonuses.

Co-signed...

But then again I've specced into Gal suits only, so my opinion is biased...

Minmatar should have a bonus over the HMG, increasing its rof like gal assaults for ARs. This is a sentinel made for attacking a point, but not holding it^^ Rest of your propositions are fine, and should be implemented IG.

Traditional minmatar tanking is going fast and killing people before they kill you using excessive amount of bullets and explosives

Shields and armor optional

So anything that makes them shoot longer, faster, or harder is a cool bonus in my book

The gal sentinel is better at surprising other sentinels from behind. Because the gal sentinel has 1 extra high slot for a DMG mod. (quicker surprise kills compared to other suits) The low slots can be used for speed or damps or reps or a little armor. It is a very versatile suit that would mesh well with a gal HMG. But we dont have that weapon.

the cal sentinels usually dont use DMG mods and minmatar sentinels usually have shield mods or PG mods in combination with speed mods.

Compared to minmatar sentinel, the gal sentinel can have high DMG and high armor.
The minmatar sentinel cant do that in the same way, it can be similar but not the same. DMG moded gal sentinels with reps are better at killing gal aslts compared to a minmatar sentinel (in CQC environments).

The minmatar sentinel shines more within slightly more open environments because it can use its speed to quickly get close to enemies with rifles (gal sentinels can do this, but to a lesser extent).

The galsent can have higher reps and high DMG while slightly stealth tanking, the minmatar sentinel has trouble doing that. Works well in pubs sometimes. (planetary conquest usually has some active scanners on battlefield so that kind of stealth level is usually not good enough)

Your supposed to kill the logi from behind and then kill the sentinel from behind while the logi and sentinel are occupied killing other players. (while you are repped by a logi)

Bringing in situations of 2 vs 1 is not highly productive to this discussion because it has already been highlighted previously and not a good base for this discussion.
2 vs 2 situations might be ok to talk about.

no, they don't, get a logi for armor.

all that needs to happen is un nerf regular plate strafe penalty or lower it, i never use non ferroscale.

The gal sentinel can rep tank and slightly ewar tank at the same time, while having higher DMG or scan precision as I mentioned previously. That is one of the strengths of the gal sent that the amarr sentinel cannot do because despite the amarr sentinel having an extra low slot for HP or rep mods, extra DMG or precision on the gal sentinel gives better benefits when trying to surprise opponents.

The gal sentinel can be sneaky with high DMG and shines within environments where it can sneak behind the enemy heavies. The amarr sentinel can attack head on within a firefight when stealth is difficult to take advantage of (when there are high precision active or passive scanners, or the environment is very open with little opportunity to sneak past the enemy)


The amarr sentinel can have dampeners and reps but it cant have higher dmg at the same time. The gal sentinel is just a slightly different version that can perform that stealth role a bit better.
