 I'm gonna take the initiative and start a thread for Sentinel class videos! Post along the guidelines Christina mentioned in her thread. 

Sentinel Insanity Mambo (might still be processing) 

[Darnalak]

Bah! beaten to it. I'm still working out the studio angle. Is your sentinel a Commander or a commando? (commander = Uses powers to brush off defenses then orders his troops to finish off the health, Commando, supes up his SMG and takes it to them himself)

[sp8cemonkey83]

Kinda a bit of both. I don't like sticking to the back in a fight but I try to utilize my squad as much as possible (ie: The Concussive Blasts after my Overloads in my video). Insanity is a bit tough for me at the moment. I think I focused too much on Tech Armor because no matter what it always seems to explode.

Heheh, in my opinion, exploding Tech Armor is a good thing just remember to keep your cooldown free! (when I'm in "Commando" mode I treat my tech armor like charge).

i wish i could record on my xbox. guaranteed awesome videos.



for a long time i thought i was the best ME1 player who ever lived. launching enemies into space. throwing them across the map. snipeing from 250+. i guess playing a biotic sortof makes you feel that way. oh well, you can come over and watch me play if you want.

Hell yeah, Xbox videos ftw. Granted most of our fights on Xbox require pause since we're not fortunate to have enough bindings for all our abilities. :/

Comeon peeps! I know there's gotta be more Sentinel footage out there!

[Darnalak]

I'm working on it. Getting my software set up. heh haven't done much video editting, fortunately I have a friend who's big into it.

 I am trying to decide what class I will be for my next playthrough. I am looking forward to some more vids here to see what a sent is all about.

I really need to get Fraps.  Anyway, after playing two Adepts through Insanity (first one stopped after Horizon, second finished), I didn't want to play the Sentinel exactly the same as an Adept without Singularity so I've been trying to use the armor aggressively.  At least half of the time it would be better to have built up Warp to rank four and spam that, but the other half lets me play like a wannabe Vanguard and I can run right into something and shoot, melee stun it, armor stun it  and one or two of it's allies to death.  

Sometimes the Sentinel really feels like god mode, other times his master of nothing really sticks out, but I'm only just now finishing up Horizon and I don't even have the Tempest yet, so I'm sure things will change soon enough.  I'm still not sure what weapon I want to get off the ship though.  It's either going to be an assault rifle or the shotgun though.  Sniper is just too wobbly without any dilation abilities.  One thing is for sure though, after beating Insanity with a Soldier, the Sentinel seems much more durable, and that's when always having Adrenaline Rush up when shooting anything.  Less damage due to the lack of a Revenant, but a lot more survivability.

I think I focused too much on Tech Armor because no matter what it always seems to explode.

Which did you take?  I took Assault and whichever passive reduces the cooldown the most.  The only time it seems to explode "too much" is if I'm running through an area with 3-4 collectors plus a harbinger focus firing on me.  Otherwise it usually explodes with not much more than a second left for the cooldown on a recast.  My biggest problem with the Sentinel is that my allies just die way too much, especially the brain dead Miranda and it doesn't matter if I park her in a corner.

loved it. I think Sentinel has more potential with the shotty than most let on.

I really need to get off my lazy butt and set up fraps

[ShoNuffarian]

Here's a vid of my assault sentinel on the last section of Grunt's recruitment. I tried to go as fast as I could, so it's not perfect. I should probably take it slower with this class I think. And take Miranda for this one. Next time, maybe.

[Average Gatsby]

I missed this thread earlier.

Here's a montage/teaser for a possible Assault Sentinel Guide

Man, you got mad skillz

I thought the SMG was crap, but after seeing that video, I might have to change my mind.. 

I'd like to see you do the same level with a Vanguard.

So since insomnia seems to be keeping me awake tonight I decided to go ahead and do a slower run of Grunts recruitment level. Here it is. It's a large part of the level starting just after the hallway of Krogan and going up until Okeer's lab so it runs a bit long. Took Miranda this time. I don't know why I have such a fascination with this mission tonight...

[sp8cemonkey83]

Yeah, great vids people! Keep them coming.



@Gatsby: Your videos have been quite inspirational! My biggest complaint with the Sentinel was lack of CC but you've done well to show how effective Assault Armor is.



I tried to go the whole Power Armor, max out Warp and Overload, AP Ammo bonus power path... but Power Armor is just not strong enough to last long periods of time to get the additional damage bonuses and it's cooldown is quite long.



I think maybe Energy Drain would help with that. I know I'm losing out on two points here but i think this build could be quite effective:



10 - Tech Armor (Power Armor)

10 - Warp

10 - Energy Drain

10 - Defender (Raider)

6 - Cryo

3 - Throw

[xiiz]

Good vids, after 2 sentinel playthroughs with Power Armor I'm finally trying out Assault Armor, and I have to say I'm finding it so much more fun. The boost to shields after it goes down, and the explosion radius really helps.

I'll see if I can get my Vegas working again then I may post some vids later.

[Karlojey]

Wow these vids makes me wanna play Sentinel on my 3rd playthrough. I tried Soldier and Infiltrator so I think this is gonna be next.



Thanks all!

Keep in mind, you can't put points into Cryo without having 3 points in overload...

[SmilingMirror]

Its actually 2 points. Anyways its best to max out any skill you put any points into 90% of the time.
You should also consider an ammo power with that build since ammo powers increase in damage with power damage bonuses i.e. raider.

3 skill points, Rank 2: 1 point for rank one overload + 2 points for rank 2. Check it: http://masseffect.wi...m/wiki/Sentinel

pfft i look like an idiot now. I thought you meant rank for some reason.

[Frostknight187]

to space monkey I had a build similar to urs on my first playthrough with my sentinel.

Throw 3

Heavy Warp 10

Power Armor 10

Overload 3

Cryoblast 3

Raider 10

Energy Drain 10



To what you said I did use energy drain to keep my shields up and as you can see it replaced my overload ability. I only put points into overload so I could get cryo blast. I love that move and it has saved my but a many a times. =)
