There have been a couple of threads about this already, but I’ll start this new one in the hope that someone at bioware may read it and even consider it.  

So, if you don’t already know, there are quite a few people (me included) who aren’t that in love with the heavy melee attack the Sentinel has in ME3.  We just don’t think that it’s as cool as the other ones and would love for it to be changed (but accept that it most probably won’t)… But here’s the thing – it doesn’t need to be changed, it only needs to be tweaked… This is all you would have to do:
  • Shep’s right hand stays omni-blade BUT his left hand becomes a ‘glowing biotic fist’, and he supermans himself two-fisted as usual into his enemy… 
Wouldn't this look a hundred times more visually exiting than the dual omni-blades? Plus, a Sentinel is a biotic and tech hybrid and could use a biotic and tech hybrid heavy melee attack…

Most important of all, however, is that it wouldn’t take much for it to be changed to this.  The current animations for the Sentinel heavy melee (Shepard’s two-fisted lunge, the enemy’s unique reaction etc.) stay the same – you just change his left hand
Thoughts? :whistle:

I'm more inclined towards a 1-2 tech/biotic combo
Left hand: Slap which cryo freezes the face
Right hand: Biotic punch to shatter it.

Just a teeny weeny graphical effect... I was thinking that both blades would become covered with biotic energy. It still hurts whatever the effect will be.

See that turian?

He's a Sentinel. Using his special melee attack. ;)

Reminds me of Green Lantern, but you know...yellow. Looks cool though.

That is a very good and subtle idea OP!

I like your idea, it's simple and makes sense.

Why do people complain about the Sentinel attack? It gives you ample of reasons to shout "GAZE INTO THE FIST OF DREDD!" as you're melee-attacking your opponents.

Biotics are so overrated, anyway.

This right here, but have the attack freeze and shatter their entire body.

Omni tool in one hand, biotic power in the other. Omnitool freezes/burns target chest, biotic power either: Rips right through armour, pushing them away, or goes shreds through 'em...

granted that'd be slightly more gory then the game calls for, but would still be fun.

Sheperd uses the same attack at 1:07 (and is a sentinel).

Either the tech punch was removed and reused for multiplayer, or they replaced the double blade punch thingy with the original tech punch altogether. Even though this is better than the original dual blades, and works well with the tech armor concept. I would still like to see a 360 biotic punch.

The Sentinel already has point-blank AoE covered with the Tech Armor explosion.  More burst attacks run the risk of seeming redundant.

Well, if we go dual blades it needs to be more dual wieldy, right now it's just plain clumsy.

I like the idea of a biotic/tech 1-2-punch, which fits the class better being the tech/biotic hybrid class (Something the devs seem to forget sometimes given the disproportionately large focus on the "tech" part of tech/biotic)

Hitting someone with two hands is impratical most of the time.
