My sentinel took shotgun training last night. No regrets so far (except that I don't really find sentinel all that fun).

The GPS isn't the best against armor, but it's insane against everything else. I think I prefer the Eviscerator overall.

Why should you take shotgun training? Because shotguns are more fun at close range, and sentinels are able to get there. Sure they work at long range too, but that's playing it too safe when you have Tech Armor.

I REEAAALLY wanna know.... why the hell does everyone take this stance with the sentinel? WHY is it boring? It is by FAR my favorite class, and yet 3/4 of the community seems to just shrug at it...

i'd be ALL OVER sentinals if they had an offensive class unique skill instead of the SUPER DUMB looking hologram armor. seriously, i HATE the look of tech armor, but i'd love to be a tech/biotic character. though i was toying with the idea of being one and only investing enough points in tech armor to unlock everything then just never using it lol

Speak for yourself.  Tech Armor is *the* reason I like the Sentinel.  It is, IMO, the most effective tech power in the entier game.  In fact, I love the Sentinel's tech power set.  I usually take Reave as my bonus power, and it will literally be the only biotic power I have any points in.  Tech Armor + sentinel's tech powers + Mattock after collector ship mission = human bulldozer.

Well, the GPS is practically 3 battle rifles strapped together, so you can argue that way for it as well, lol.

Bah.  The rounds seek their targets and are dependent on impacting together to maximum damage.  And you can't lay suppressive fire with it.  It's closer to an RPG than a rifle.

M-96 Mattock, the rifleman's rifle

Sounds like Tech Armor makes everything too easy. I'm not complaining, though. I'm having way more fun with the Sentinel than Soldier. Have never seen what's so fun about that class.

I like them both because I view them as being similar.  Sentinels don't have the raw damage output or weapon training, but compensate with powerful defenses and survivability.  Once a Sentinel takes AR training, he's a lot like a combat engineer, bringing good weapons and tech powers to the battlefield (I tend to concentrate on my sentinel's tech powers, and really only use one biotic power, Reave, which I take for my bonus power).

What makes the Soldier fun is 1) the Widow and 2) the Revenant.  I never get tired of blowing badguys in half with the Widow, or sawing them in half with the Revenant.  It never gets old.

That part is actually very far from the truth. It does more damage if the 3 projectiles each hit a different target. A bit strange maybe, but that's how it is. It makes firing the GPS into a crowd very effective, although it certainly also does high damage against a single target.

Same here, I much prefer the look of Barrier. Tech Armour looks like something out of Tron.

That said, I'd be willing to put up with it if there was more to the Power Sentinel than just spamming powers. The only class I found more boring was the Soldier.

I remember when I first tried on the Capacitor Helmet. I was like 'WTF is this, Mars Attacks?'
