I main sentinel and it's great in everything... The only problems I have with it are I want an exotic to give me Blessings back and I need better hit detection for PvP and that's it. Sentinel is an amazing super if you know how to use it. Which no one does. No one knows they can block and my one friend thought if you were running bubble that's all you had. Not the option between the two

    I main Sentinel [i]top tree[/i]. The issue is how weak Ward of Dawn is. Also, the bug involving Suppressions. The top tree is great other than Ward of Dawn, which is the definining point of the top tree They basically nerfed the Defender from D1 heavily and then added the bottom skill tree as an option. The “option” should be taken away so Ward of Dawn can be a great super rather than an “optional choice” that nobody uses. Honestly, ive mained Bubble since Day 1 of D1. I’m dissapointed with it now. I wreck in PvP but thats just skill by itself, no assistance from the crappy bubble. That’s the point, they gutted what wasnt even that powerful in D1. It was good in the right hands, but supers are meant to be good in anybodies hands

  • [quote]I main sentinel and it's great in everything...[/quote] Uh, what? Sentinel is so bad that the guys doing the max difficulty Nightfall videos are taking Striker over Sentinel even when using the Void singe. No one uses it in raids either, since Striker has better add clear potential and Sunbreaker has better DPS. I'm not sure of any scenario where Sentinel is actually worth taking. I guess PvP? Maybe?

  • Sunbreakers I use on argos cause they are equivalent of cluster rockets. I never touch striker cause in high high end activities I'll die before I kill anything with it. But ppl use the crutch grenades in everything. Now if we're talking top tree (bubble) it could use some buffs sure. Disintegrate is still a great perk to use with your teammates. The bubble itself is lacking. I wish blessings were on it instead of armor. The bottom tree with double shield throws is great for add clearing and PvP. Combine that with mask of the quiet one or doom fang and it's great (PvP and pve respectively). Sentinel is also a great or generating super. The only reason people use striker is cause it has double pulse grenades. Without that and armentarium back it would've be go to Titan super

  • Calling one of the only things making another subclass viable a "crutch" doesn't help your case. It only reinforces how far behind the Sentinel really is. Sentinel is terrible for add clear. Shield throw doesn't do enough damage, guarding drains your super energy, and the standard attack requires very close range and only hits a single target. The super doesn't even have a way to extend it's duration like Arc Staff and Daybreak do. Look, I've never seen you play, but I assume you aren't soloing prestige Nightfalls every week. People who are much better at the game than you or I never use Sentinel, even to the extent of deliberately passing over the damage advantage provided by singe to use one of the other two subclasses. What can you say to that? Are you going to assert that players like Esoterickk don't know their business?
