A sad day for the Saboteur indeed. I guess Sentry Turret is best used as a level 6 primer.

[tonnactus]

Well, only enemies get decent turrents. We got peashooters that not even distract anymore. Very nice...

[Mr.Flibble Lv2]

So if I understand it right the best ways to use the Sentry Turret are:
A: Spec it to just lv4 shock evo and throw it at enemies to try and stun them.
B: Spec it to prime cyro/fire explosions, evo 4 speced to taste.
C: Spec it to shields + damage/ ap. ammo/ rockets for best overall damage.
Anything I'm missing here?

Does cryo ammo on the turret prime for incinerate freeze combo?

Did not test the cryo ammo evolution... (my tests were done with the TSE not QFE)  
It should ...

I use my sentry turret as a rocket launcher anyway. serves it's purpose as providing another gun and drawing fire

[Dilandau3000]

I don't a crap what the numbers say. I love my flamer turret regardless.

Just the whole concept of pets feels right to me. Why risk your own neck in the super-advanced future when you can use a drone instead?

The only thing wrong with the turret is its name. It's a pretty poor sentry, but pretty decent crowd control.

Thread deserves a bump.

[Bayonet Hipshot]

Thanks for the info OP.. It's official..Sentry Turret is CRAP.

Buff suggestions :-

-Make it fire bullets & spray flame OR fire bullets & shoot rockets in quick succession, like the Engineer Turrets in TF2. OR modify the turret design so that it has 2 firing ports, one for bullets & the other for flamethrower / rockets
-Make it able to rotate 360 degrees on its own axis & fire an enemy, not just fire in a forward direction

[JaimasOfRaxis]

I did my part.

Save the Sentry Turret.

[SoundWraith]

Time to respec the saboteur after reading this thread.

[Cryos_Feron]

thanks for the tests done.

 

But could someone give a more "monkey-proof" conclusion for following questions?

 

 

GE  purely damage-wise:

would it make sense NOT to take flamethrower ?

(gold-platinum with a lot of armored opponents)

 

... and if we now factor staggering and distraction in:

I noticed that the flame-thrower is capable of reliably distract and engage the enemy.

is this something the flamethrower can do better than the normal laser-attack?

 

 

 

FQE  purely damage-wise (disregarding staggering and distraction):

Would it make sense to go until 5 and till then take damage+armor piercing? 

Or would the upgrade for rockets be worth the 6 points. 

"The flamethrower definitely won't increase the dps" - is this correct?

(on gold-plat with a lot of armored enemies)

 

 

Thank you!

Good question. But most things have shields in the game, so I'd imagine having flame on powers would greatly contribute to butt hurt dps.

 

That and flame on explosions devastate the armour off a Brute butt, anyway.

[Quarian Master Race]

On sentry turret, pure DPS would be to take 4a and 5b. The rockets do less damage than gun bursts (especially if the gun gets headshots) but still use a full 2.5sec attack cycle. Of course, this assumes that all rounds are hitting, which isn't always the case (especially at long ranges, the rockets may be more reliable.). Flamethrower is weak on its own, and its priming window is extremely short and difficult to get explosions out of without a hitscan detonator.

Won't answer definitively for the toasturret because I can't be bothered. I guess flamer could make more sense on it because of overload but IDK if it's reliable enough to be worth the points.

[Alfonsedode]

DPS sucks so much on the turret, that boosting it should never be a discussion ...

Running against a marauder does more damage to him than a full turret life span

 

On the other way, the distraction can be good

The flamer turret on the GE can reliably prime for FEs every few seconds once one develops the right sense of timing with which to hit overload.

I disagree, my evidence being that the challenge goes pretty quickly as long as one keeps tossing it into spawns.

so math are wrong? Maybe the shock evo has no target cap

 

Anyway, i havent praticed the fire turrent, maybe ever, when wld u recommend it the oveload button ? Start of the fire burst ? end ? medium rare ?

[Brannigans 1ove]

Never done any testing, but experience has told me that the sentry turret does a fair bit of work.  QFE flamethrower turret thrown into spawns seems to get the challenge done in next to no time.  I tend to use the GE turret for healing, and don't spec into Juggy turret.  Turian Sab is setup with rockets at Randall's behest, seemed to work pretty well.

I always go for damage over the shock evo on the Sentry Turret, so I don't know. I just know that it will kill a Gold Brute from full armor if left alone with it for a while.

 

On the GE, toss the Flamer Turret, shoot while waiting for it to flame, once the flame starts, take one breath and hit Overload. The FE is, as I've said before, predictable and reliable.

Thank you!

 

Based on theorycrafting for pure damage, the Geth Sentry Turret is best off taking flamethrower which does 65% more DPS against shields/barriers and ~47% more against armour due to superior damage modifiers.

 

The Quarian Sentry Turret however has a much better AP evolution and main gun in general which makes the flamethrower a DPS loss. Rockets are primarily for the stagger that they bring rather than wanting more damage. If it's purely about damage, I would say you might as well just take 3 ranks in Fitness instead of the last rank of Sentry Turret.

 

On a side note, the Turrets aren't completely worthless in terms of damage(especially the Quarian one). Their biggest problem is you not being able to control which target they go after.
