At first I thought this class was absolute rubbish. But I had a couple gold runs with it and found out that the net thing is actually quite usefull as a support class. The net is good for slowing down geth hunters and setting up tech combos provided you have the correct teammates.

As for their armor ability it seems a little lackluster although I love the falcon punch heavy Melee. If anyone else finds a way to effectively use this ability I'd love to hear it.

Also all these runs were on gold.

So here are the specs I used

Blade armor -6 melee damage/damage returned/durability(shield buff)
Shockwave - 5 force & damage/increased detonation power.
Sumbmission Net - 6 incapacitate/recharge speed/shield and barrier
Enforcer - 6 capacity/power damage/damage ammo
Fitness - 3

Loadout
Carnifex - AP/ barrel mod
Geth smg - ULM/ extended mag

The net is a base for tech dets and works well with engineers.

I haven't tested the Sentinel much. I do love the Soldier though. Suddenly I find myself playing Soldier and not Vanguard or Infiltrator. And yes, the heavy melee is pure awesomeness! Wish it was a bit faster, though. Seems like you've got a couple of invulnerability frames there, which is nice.

Then do you have an Idea for a good support build? I've been a bit perplex at this guy. I like the net, though the BS has a really painful cool down.

Yeah I'm at work but when I get home I'll post my specs for the sentinel

I haven't managed to unlock any of the new classes yet. I have a real thing about Batarians, can't bear them, but I'm intrigued to get a look at completely unfamiliar powers and try out a build. Would definitely be interested in seeing your specs when you have time.

Hm, wasn't thinking about the Sentinel, just the Soldier. I'll keep that in mind if I ever get em.

Never liked the Batarian's much and i have to say they were the one species i had no interest in playing.
Figured i'd give the sent a go since i got the unlock anyway.

Activating the blade armour for the first time and seeing the holo-armour effect materialise into actual blades had me squeeling for a moment, looks so damn badass.
Add to that a striker with extended clip and barrel turns him into a BAWS.

Haven't gotten the Sentinel yet. But I'm honestly shocked at how fun the soldier is to play especially with explosive blades.

In my experience, this class is highly dependent on the quality of your weapon. And that weapon is not the striker, IMO. I doubled my score by dropping that stupid gun and replacing it with a Vindicator X. Dead enemies > dazed enemies.

I don't have a Mattock X, but I think it would also be a killer weapon for a batarian slaver.

Thanks, I'll take a look and see if my earlier match with him was a fluke.  I scored so badly I literally left in embarrassment after the match.  It has a lot of potential as a defensive melee player (especially with the ability to reflect melee damage to Brutes/Phantoms)  But I just haven't gotten the hang of it yet.

Wanted the Geth or the Krogan, but knew it'd give me a Batarian instead, was just a question of which one.

I don't think it gets invulnerability during the heavy melee animation...anyone else confirm this?

I haven't experienced any invulnerability while charging up the punch. As cool as the heavy attack is, it leaves you at such a disadvantage.

I think it's intended to be used while you've got something in your net.

I would assume the same, as the batarian soldier's ballistic blades also provides them with an opening (though its a stagger effect, not a net/stasis kinda thing) to use their heavy melee. It's just a tad inconvienent when there are multiple enemies around.

I love my batarian sentinel, before even putting points into the armor I maxed my net. First game I played got top score. From there I think i'm going to max my passives then worry about the armor, since they already have a pretty decent shield bonus and i could careless about shockwave.

i prefer overload from my Turian Sentinel over the net, but the Batarian heavy melee is amazing, you can melee geth pyros and hunters pretty easy.

Net is good but the uber long firing time stinks. The armor sucks since it stops melee but that's not an upside for me. Shockwave is always a shakey power. I disliked the class immensely.

Net is really fun. You should try aoe upgrade at rank 6, it will throw overload at nearby targets. When the net hit, shoot all nearby targets first since the net victim will just lie on the floor for a good amount of time. You can go for 2-3 headshot kills for each net with a carnifex on gold geth run. The net cannot wrap pyros but the aoe upgrade can stun bunch of them.

My ideal spec would be 0/6/6/6/6. Shockwave is quite handy since you don't wanna spam nets some times.
I really want a tech armor for this one so I can trigger the tech burst by myself. BA is far worse than TA...

You can detonate tech burst by your self with shock wave

First instincs are usually the right ones.
