I've successfully played through Normal and Veteran mode, both as an Infiltrator, and now I am venturing into the hardcore level. I've played a Sentinel thus far, gathering Jack and Grunt early into the game. However, I'm not sure whether or not I enjoy the class. Rumor is, Sentinels become stronger later on in the game, unstoppable even, yet I'm still not feeling it. I'm taking a slight interest in Engineers, but sadly there is little feedback about them. Whatever class I decide, I will more than likely carry over to Insanity so I want to make sure I make the right decision. If you guys can voice your opinion or offer any type of insight for both classes, that will be truly helpful in my decision.

Wait until you are level 16 or so..Sentinel becomes one of the best classes in the game.

Tech Armor is the best defensive skill in the game. Warp is one of the best offensive debuffs in the game. Overload is also one of the best for shields. Guardian/Raider both provide some of the best cooldown reductions in the game -30/20% respectively. And then you can add in any bonus skill you want.
Overall the Sentinel is not the most powerful class in terms of DPS but there is not a single situation that they cannot handle effectively. Be advised that there are a few frustrating moments as a Sentinel but they are few and far between.

Hello,
I believe the Sentinel to be more fun to play simply for the versatality. You get the best of all classes : Overload, Warp and Assault rifles if you choose them on the collector ship.
As stated, the tech armor makes you close to invicible, and you rarerly have to use anything else than your own power, especially if you use Reave as special power.
Finally, in a recent poll by a forum member, they are twice as many people preffering Sentinel over Engineer.

its not level that makes sentinel strong its upgrades.
Basically you'll want the tech cooldown upgrade and hard shields or anything that has to do with shields.
You should also be using power armor and guardian specs for over powered tech armor.
