Equip one weapon (your favourite weapon) and focus on maxing out one power whilst having the other powers for back up. Stay close to other players. That's my adept strategy but I think it applies to all classes.

With my Turian Sentinel I go in with a Widow and Mattock/Avenger not being to bothered with cooldowns. I throw on Tech armor at the start and focus on tanking and taking out enemies with guns and throwing out an overload on a Centurion or Nemesis when needed(mostly never as a widow headshot takes out both shields and health).

Human Sentinel is a piece of crap compared to the Turian, who gets +50% health and shields, the amazing Overload, boosted accuracy, and can potentially use an assault rifle while still having +200% cooldown reduction.

For the Turian, I've ignored Warp because I don't have the points or cooldown for it. Tech Armor is specced for max defense. Overload is set to chain twice and have low cooldowns. Spam overload to stun things, then shoot them in the face with an assault rifle. It's stupidly effective and you're a walking tank while doing it.

I have a level 11 Turian Sentinel. I use a pistol and AR, with Predator(Phalanx fires WAY too slow for my taste) as my pistol and the Mattock as my AR(Avenger works too). First thing I do is boot up the tech armor. Turns you into a tank and bullet sponge. I like to use Overload the most because it A) Gets rid of shields, and B) Stuns and damages any unprotected target.

I occasionally use Warp if I see a pull or singularity that needs detonating, but I don't use it too much because of the slower cooldown. Also, the sentinel's heavy melee is boss sauce.

I'll gladly answer anymore questions you have. :)

Full warp, and avenger with a scoped pistol

L20 sentinel, tech warp training and fitness full

Job is to watch and hold the flanks and with warp to weaken tougher enemys for a quick takedown, no power spam class, but with a true aim you can be quite an asset

Turian Sentinel. Widow Sniper Rifle and Avenger Assault Rifle. Ignore powers. Do better than soldiers. Boot up Tech Armor at the start of the match 'cause it looks so fine.

But uh... yeah. Every so often I'll use Overload on a turret or a Centurion. Haven't really leveled enough to fill out any of my powers but Tech Armor, which gives me some fantastic benefits. I don't really focus a whole lot on the powers with the Sentinel because the Turian's the only Sentinel I've had interest in playing and it doesn't have any abilities I particularly care for. So I just kind of romp around the map as an extra soldier-type.

Probably not an ideal strategy for somebody wanting a true "Sentinel experience," but it works out for me.

Overload is amazingly good. Chaining twice, you can spam it to lock down a room. Combined with the high resilience from Tech Armor, Fitness, and being a Turian, and you're extremely hard to kill.

I'll probably dump a lot of points into it; I seem to run into a lot of Biotic enthusiasts online and Warp is pretty common so no real need for me to go that route. Would be nice to have something to break down those stupid turrets, too.

Turian Sentinel - Throw on Tech armor, use highest damage and fire rate Assault Rifle, use abilities at range and just charge in an lay waste with rifle and exploding tech armor. I've only had to be rescued a few times, mostly head shots from snipers and an Atlus or two.

So what I'm seeing here seems to suggest ignoring the sentinel until I unlock the Turian?

You can play it to level the class some, but Turian Sentinel puts human to shame the way Krogan Soldier and Asari Adept do. There's just no point to the human once you unlock the superior race.

I have a Turian sentinel. I've been leveling him up lately and I think this class is quite useful. Most of the matches I've played people are either Adept, Engineer or Soldier. That's when the Turian Sentinel becomes very useful. Overload is just great against enemies with shields. It will take down most, if not, all of their shields, and they become easy targets for you and your teammates (saving time as well) :D Phantoms can take a couple of hits though but the Overload stuns them.

I rely a lot on my powers so I equip light. Right now I'm using Phalanx with scope and Tempest. This allows me to do long and CQ combat with pretty quick cool downs. I usually do Warp and shoot because that yields more damage to them.

My Turian Sentinel has his health and shields maxed out, with tech armor maxed for damage reduction, and I'm going to max out the Veteran skill for damage.

All and all, my strategy is get warp and overload to a rank that can stun or knock anyone out of cover, then headshot them with a camifex (sp?) pistol. You can literally sprint through bronze, and be a really good supplement to any squad in silver and gold.

Turian Sentinel, maxed out DR% on Tech Armor (40%). Go full stability via Turian passive, then I use a max Avenger with scope and increased capacity. Basically gives me 54 stable, accurate shots at range I can keep trained on any target easily. Reloads super fast, the Turians enhanced shields + Tech Armor 40% DR gives him prolonged survivability allowing for that kind of sustained fire.

I got Warp to lvl 5 for the sake of increasing damage on target hit by it for 10 seconds. I have shields maxed in Fitness for, again, survivability though the last rank is 25% weapon dmg for 20 seconds after a heavy melee kill.

Basically with that combination you have high survivability, high accuracy at any range, and if you can get in a heavy melee kill (not to hard with that kind of power) you can boost your weapon dmg by a considerable amount. Which makes killing stuff that much easier.

Really helps when your getting swarmed as you can get that HM kill, and keep pumping out Avenger rounds into the group as you back up. Toss Warps at bigger targets to increase damage further. I like a lot of stacked effects like that in general.

I still haven't unlocked the Turian Sentinel after 25 or so Veteran packs and being a level 20 Sentinel -_- With human I normally go Revenant with Scope and Stability Dampener, and the Carnifex with Scope and Extended Barrel attachments.

At the beginning of a match I normally activate Tech Armor then I use Throw most of the time to get enemies out of cover so either I or my teammates can kill them. I use the Sentinel more as a Support/Combat class with increases endurance rather than focus on Tech or Biotic skills.

My Turian Sentinel has tech armor, warp and overload maxed out a bit in fitness and rest in shield/health thingy. I run with a phalanx, scope and heavy barrel. I can suck up a lot of damage, 2 shots from nemesis before my shields are out, 2 shots from atlas before my shields are out (bronze) I only use 1 weapon because i like to use my powers, warp and overload both stagger everything i encounter except for atlas, and when they're staggered, i just need 2 headshots with the phalanx before most enemies are dead. Also this way I can quickly take down shields and barriers.

Playing with adepts is awesome, singularity / stasis and i throw in a warp and we take down groups with the biotic explosion...

The sentinel is an awesome support tank, just dont weigh it down with unneccesary weaponry.

Fully aware of what makes the Turian Sentinel great after reading this thread, I've come to wonder about the Krogan Sentinel. Are they not also amazing? I'd think Krogans would be just as tough and durable, and Lift Grenades seem like they'd make for some great occasional CC when needed.

Is it that chained Overloads are that superior to Lift Grenades being that they're unlimited use? When I first glanced at all the races/classes Krogan Sentinel was the one that made me go "oh s&#% I want that," so I'm wondering if my first impressions were wrong now. Any further info would be greatly appreciated.

PS I hear a lot of mention of the Krogan Soldier being an absolute beast so I'm also wondering what makes THAT Krogan class better than the Sentinel version (if such is true and anyone can explain why). Thanks again!

That's why I maxed out Rage on my Krogan. HM kill, reg melee kill, go into Rage and you can melee oneshot anything but an Atlas. If you blow fortification in addition to the HM bonus and Rage bonus, you get like +130% melee damage.

I hit 20 on my human sentinel yesterday. I've started gravitating more towards melee for the +75% buff, and only carry the Mattock since it's such a good all-rounder.

My groove is mostly to throw on tech armor, warp+throw detonations at range, run in for a heavy melee if they stagger, continue meleeing anyone nearby if I land the kill.

Not having much luck with setting off my armor's explosion, but then again I haven't levelled that aspect of it. It barely seems to stagger even basic guys and I can count on one hand the amount of kills I've gotten with it.
I do use it right after rezzing guys, to try and give the other player as much of a fighting chance as possible.

See, that was my thought process too but I see so much mention of Krogan Soldiers ad Turian Sentinels that I've been wondering what's wrong with the Krogan Sentinel lol. I mean I assume they have the same sort of 6th rank Fitness evolution that the Human has throwing another 30% damage reduction on top of what the Tech Armor offers after heavy melee kills, which I also assume they'd be amazing at getting. I dunno...

I don't believe they can be unlocked in the MP. I'm currently lvl 120, have unlocked countless Veteran packs and haven't encountered it once. Neither have I gotten the Quarian Infiltrator, or ANY of the human counterparts for any of the classes.

Pretty sure its just 2 per class stuck in the demo. Maybe my lucks just 'that' bad? I dunno. I got all the weapons but the 5 gold ones to 10, all mods to 10.

Anyways that's what I wanted, Krogan Sentinel. Planned to go 40% DR on Tech Armor, then pure melee via Rage stuff. Ultimately in rage that would be 60% DR, at 1600 shields that comes out to a psuedo 4k shield total heh. Plus mass melee damage potential with 30% constant bonus with Tech Armor on.

Alas it is not to be till the full game. Just pray we can fully customize are skill loadouts cause the current Krogan Sentinel set kinda blows hard for what I want to do.
