Im a Forge Gunner and to be honest I see absolutely no reason to ever use the Sentinel Role suits. The Advanced Heavy Frame seems to be the best suit available for a forge gunner.
Its cost effective at 28k isk vs. 85k for the proto heavy frame variant.
It has 2 High powered slots for 2X 10% damage modules (very important for an AV fit) and 2 Low powered slots.
I can fit a Proto Assault Forge Gun, Proto Flaylock Pistol, 2X Complex Heavy Weapon Damage Modules, Enhanced Armor Rep, Enhanced CPU Upgrade, and Advanced Flux Grenade (and I am only level 3 in CPU and PG skills)
The Sentinel Advanced dropsuit is slightly cheaper at 13k isk. (57k for proto)
Only 1 High power slot so you lose 7-8% damage (not sure the exact number)
1 Extra low powered slot instead.
Has the same CPU and PG and every other stat as the Heavy Frame version.
You get 2 role bonuses for using sentinel suit - Feedback damage reduction which is completely and utterly useless for Forge, and 2% reload speed increase per level which is ok but id rather have the extra damage increase from a second high powered slot on basic frame. (10% reload speed vs. 7-8% more damage, pretty sure the extra damage would increase DPS more)
So my conclusion is Amarr Sentinel is pretty rubbish and pointless to waste SP in (which is why I haven't). You can better spend those SP on other areas such as max armor/shield and Forge/HMG proficiency. Unless CCP plans to add feedback damage to heavy weapons, or adds a damage bonus to one of the other races sentinel suit type (when they add them) I see no reason to give up that second High powered slot. |

Sorry but you wasted SP on Sentinel suit. All I read to know this is you saying you're a Forge Gunner.
Why...WHY would you spend SP on that suit then? It has 1 high slot. Sorry to say, but that mistake is on you, not CCP. You can ask for a respec if you want.
People making mistakes like this and trying to pass it off like it's CCP's fault. I didn't put a single SP into it cuz I knew the suit is rubbish for what I plan to use it for. |

Yes but I explained the obvious in detail with clear English.
Also if it was so obvious, why are so many mistakes made with people skilling into it. |

People not paying attention and mis-allocating SP is never CCP's fault. I haven't allocated any SP into heavy dropsuits because the other racial suits have not been added, although I may be forced to spec Amarr Heavy Frame due to the limitations of the MLT Heavy dropsuit, in which case I would want my SP for Amarr Heavy Frame back as it is CCP's fault for giving us only 1 option for anything except MLT or to wait for soonTM. |

I think *ALL* specilized suits need to be more specilized. The only one doing good right now is Logi, Assault is crap, Sentinal is crap, Scout is crap. |

cuz people don't read and check the stats out on stuff. Was it hard to go on Sentinel suits and see it has 1 highslot, and a couple ****** racial "bonus".
I'm all for helping new people out, but if people can't check suits for themselves and decide if it's worth it or not, then DUST isn't the game for them. This handholding stuff that people expect from CCP is a lil too much. |
