Jonny D Buelle The Warlords Legion 2	Posted - 2015.10.09 23:44:00 - [1] - Quote ...can we please get a buff to my favourite Sentinel, the Gallente Sentinel? As it stands, this is now the weakest Sentinel. The Amarr can out tank AND out rep us in armour. The Caldari (with changes to their shields as of the recent hotfix) now have a better chance and with their better speed and shields, can rip us apart. With the Minmatar, I feel that comes down to player skill as well as fitting, though it can out perform the Galsent if it is built to speed/shield tank. I don't have the numbers because I am a useless pr.ck and got stuck at work on a Saturday, however I think its time to buff the GalSent. Maybe increase our reps and make us the go too rep suit by adding a bonus to rep module and reactive plate efficiency. Edit: In no way do I think shields are fine now, they still need work. They are just on the right track. Director of T-W-L Keeper of the List Lord of Scrubs
Zan Azikuchi G.R.A.V.E The Ditanian Alliance 285	Posted - 2015.10.09 23:47:00 - [2] - Quote 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. When there is light, shadow's lurk and fear reign's... Yet by the blade of knight's, mankind, was given hope.

Not really, a Caldari sentinel can be easily taken down by a flux grenade, and a Gallente sentinel can be out tanked by the Amarr and Gallente assault dropsuits (if armour stacked) add the range of rifles vs the range of an HMG and the Galsent is in a bad place. Not to mention the Amarr Sentinel does it way better than the Galsent. I am not asking for an armour buff, just a rep buff for the Galsent as it is supposed to be a rep suit.

I am a dedicated Sentinel who loves the GalSent, but I don't see the point in being a Galsent when the Amarr can have the same amount of rep and more armour due to have more lows. Hell we dont have enough highs to effectively hybrid tank like the Minmatar and we sure as hell dont have enough to shield tank like the Caldari. I'd suggest running Amarr Sentinel if you want to be an armour sentinel and pretend its pre Uprising 1.8. Director of T-W-L Keeper of the List Lord of Scrubs

ROF increase sounds reasonable, however the numbers have to be perfect or it will break the different variants, some in a OP way, some in a "not worth using" way. Take the Burst HMG, on average it can fire three-four bursts before over heating and making the sentinel vunerable for 10 seconds. ROF buff will make it unusable. AHMG is a powerful weapons against Vechiles and Infantry, ROF increase will make MinSent FOTM. The regular Variant can go either way. Why not a reduction to heat build up for the HMG instead?

WeapondigitX V7 The Exemplars 444	Posted - 2015.10.10 01:42:00 - [12] - Quote 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.

Lightning35 Delta514 The Warlords Legion 2	Posted - 2015.10.10 01:52:00 - [14] - Quote Imo opinion, Gallente all need more rep to "counter" caldaris new shield stats. Only problem is that I am see it being abused now with 2 plates and 3 reps. Maybe a base of 6 for the assault? And work down from thier? Or even better a Gallente rep bonus.

Except dropsuits can't have active resistances. Well, they can, technically, but "it's too hard" and actually requires work from CCP. In other words, just give the Gallente Sentinel better innate repair and be done with it. *Scouts United* Gk.0s & Quafes all day.

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.

However as I said before, the tankiness of a Galsent is moot. If you want to armor tank, either reps or brick, you are better off using an Amarr Sentinel. Yes the GalSent can out damage the AmarrSent, but if a logi was strapped to either Sentinels, the Amarr woukd still come out in top. Even without the logi the Amarr would still come out on top.

Also stop trying to pick my argument for boosting reps on Galsent apart. The truth of the matter is we are out performed, our versatility is okay but pointless if others can do it better.

Caldari should have a bonus on its forge gun as well, shields already have fine delays so the bonuss you propose would be kinda useless.

You do realize that the Gallente prefered method of tanking is Armor repair right? A logi with a repair tool is nice, but the GalSent can't tank like how its suppose to unlike the other sentinels. Caldari can Shield Tank (needs a few more buffs) because of their highs Amarr can Brick tank because of their lows Minmatar can speed tank and hybrid tank and perform hit and run tactics because of their highs and lows And Gallente, can do more damage and thats about it. Can we rep tank? Sure, but the Amarr can rep tank too with the same amount of reps and more armor. Can we do hit and run? Yes, but minmatar can go faster and hit harder. And we sure as hell can't shield tabk. Gallente need more reps. Changing plate movement penalty won't help improve Gallente Tanking Methods. Which, people seem to be missing, is the point of this thread! Director of T-W-L Keeper of the List Lord of Scrubs
WeapondigitX V7 The Exemplars 444	Posted - 2015.10.10 07:51:00 - [27] - Quote Jonny D Buelle 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.

And again you are wildly deviating from the point if this thread, which is the Gallente form of tanking: Armor Reps. We can't out rep anyone as everyone else does it better (except Caldari). Which makes no sense as Gallente method of tanking (don't know how many times I need to repeat myself) is Armor Reps. Edit: Everyone else can tank their way, why can't the Gallente?

Why not make it so each one gains a boost to their style of tanking? Sentinels are supposed to be point defense and walking meat shields right? Amarr Sent - Bonus to Armour Gal Sent - Bonus to Armour Reps Caldari Sent - Bonus to Shield Recharge Delay Minmatar - Bonus to Ferroscale? I really dont understand Minmatar tanking tbh. Yes. So much this. Although I'd refine it further as thus: Amarr - 3% bonus efficacy to all Armour Plates (not ferro/reactive) fitted per level, 10% reduction of speed penalty for armour plates fitted per level (so a -3% penalty from a plate would, at rank 5, become -1.5% per plate) Caldari - 5% bonus efficacy to all shield extenders fitted per level, 10% reduction of recharge time penalty for shield extenders per level (mirrors Amarr) Minmatar - 2% bonus efficacy to all shield extenders and ferroscale armour plates fitted per level, 5% reduction to heat build-up from HMG per level (dual-tank, hit-and run style, lowest overall EHP, no specialities in either tanking style) Gallente - 4% bonus to efficacy to all reactive plates and repairers fitted per level (both armour and rep rate), 2% increase to HMG RoF per level. (Above-average EHP compaired to other suits, potential for massive rep rates and clearly the hardest-hitting of them all; classic Gallente combat doctrine.) Dedicated Commando.
