I can’t even adequately express to people how much of a nuke Sentry is for questing.
You get him ramped and OH BOY
What.
Just what
LOL
First fight, and it’s not great because you start with no ramp. That’s a fair criticism if anyone chooses to express that:
That being said, “Halt” is a freaking awesome mechanic for Juggernauts and other Unstoppable clowns:
I included a screenshot from inside the fight to show what happens with the L3 Regeneration — it’s pretty sweet:
As you can see, I now had all 10 Reallity Warps. I cooked that Vision so fast, I forgot to Screenshot the final.
Now, when you look at the Black Panther fight, you see the time at 1:28 and you’re thinking, “That’s not great.”
But here’s the thing: I was using a 5/65, right?
So, no Adrenaline. Chip damage, right?
It only took 1:28 because I chose to get the Regeneration from the L3, not because the DPS isn’t there. I would have cooked that BP just like Vision if I didn’t want the Regen:
I think Sentry over Aegon as the new long form king might be a worthy convo
Duped my 7R1 Gorr today, and tested him…for comparison…idk…Did they do Sentry dirty, again ?!?
But post 12 og sw with quicksilver is still amazing and way faster in all of those fights.
Still gonna rank up Sentry though lol.
When you get it ramped, all that DPS in this kit is “just there.”
It’s not on a timer. It doesn’t expire.
The mix of Crit Damage and Red Numbers from Energy Damage is just crazy to watch — and the damage caps aren’t gonna contain it.
I get it: Battlegrounds isn’t where you take this kit. OK.
But I am Paragon. What fights am I taking that are less than, what, 200K health?
If it’s 200K, you are coming out of it with at least two Reality Warps, maybe three, per fight.
You get to five Reality Warps, stuff starts melting.
Six/seven? Closing time.
Eight or more Reality Warps, so you start fights in Absolute Strength? TIME TO COOK.
You have control over some utility in Wither or Exhaustion.
Halt is tremendous.
The debuffs can be refreshed, with three Reality Warps.
You have controllable Regeneration.
Here’s the thing: Nobody has to rank particular kit. This isn’t perfect — the first fight can be long and boring.
But that’s no different than Aegon. People use Aegon for specific things and not for everything.
This buff to Sentry is the same kind of thing, and the DPS, utility and sustainability is there and supports being used in today’s content
