Balance - HP vs Ward

Not asking for a nerf. Asking for a buff to sentinel HP.

When I first started playing you guys had just nerfed ward because people were getting 40-50k etc. It was good but this season feels a little uneven again mostly due to that primordial armor that we can use as rogues. It requires 1 x T7 hp slam and we can get 8-9k and more ward when adding a few more life drained converted to ward slams. Combine that with shrouds, smoke, glancing blow and high dodge we’re basically tanks who can also 1 shot uber due to the highest single target output in the game by a gazillion miles.

Sentinel - the tank class. Where most players right now if they’ve been lucky will have 5k HP , a lot of people with 4 and a lot of others with less. You might get outliers who early on have more. Last season the most I saw with a lot of T7 slams which you’ve lovingly taken away was about 7k. But generally a lot less. You gain ward quicker than HP regen (unless primalist stacking) and with 2 handed weapons you don’t get block, glancing blow or other effects.

I think an easy fix is more base HP for sentinel as the “melee” class. Sentinel can do big damage once geared but nothing like rogue (no clue about caster classes but I’ve seen some CRAZY ward there too) - Sentinel should be looking on average without slams and corruptions everywhere not at 5k but 8-10 due to a balance in defensive layers.

The game right now in this season feels a little POE’y with engergy shield rangers etc.

This will no doubt trigger rogues players but IDC cos I love rogue and don’t want it nerfed and am not asking for a nerf. I am asking for a sentinel HP buff to give it more survivablity. Rogue can push just as high with corruption as seen last season and already this season.

Sentinels are very tanky. They have easy access to lots and lots of armor, which is direct DR. Not only that, they are among the best for leech in the game.
And let’s not forget endurance, where they’re second only to primalist, which works on health and not on ward.

As for using 2h weapons, that’s a choice. Lots of builds don’t use them and the ones that do tend to rely on leech/armor/endurance.

If you look at the arena ladder, you’ll se that there are way more sentinels than rogues there. Because in arena your defenses matter more than in pushing corruption.

The problem with rogue pushing higher corruption than other classes has nothing to do with defences and everything to do with being able to clear the whole screen before defences are even needed.

No one cares about arena. I’m talking in general sentinels should have more HP regardless of what you’ve just referenced about armor, armor means absolutely nothing when you’re running say 5k correction but standing in smoke with maxed out dodge and also VERY high armor - yes, infact rogues get insane armor when they’re doing this there is no competition. Take chadilaos fight vs Shade at 10k corr where he face tanks without being hit with max dodge and 50% armor. Rogues have endurance nodes in their trees as well.

You constantly talk like you have superior gaming knowledge than anyone on here and in reality you dont even have a seasonal character and out of your 15 chars on legacy you dont even have one that’s at 100. You’re not in touch with game play by experience. God I knew I shouldnt have unblocked you to come back to yet another pointless post where you’ve just tried to start a debate becase

YOU DONT EVEN PLAY THE GAME MATEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

https://imgur.com/LxLOse6 but just because I love ward, my dodge is maxed out and I have armor, 24% DR from node in tree, 10% more dr from red rings, 8% more dr from shattered world and oh did i mention ALSO I have armor and dodge and glancing blows and shrouds. Some builds are at 7-8k ward already this season aswell.

In reference to 2 handers - most rogues use dual which is more damage taken on top of that but are still tankier. You’re a whack job mate.

Once again

YOU DONT EVEN PLAY THE GAME MATEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

I stopped playing online last season, so you can’t actually see my characters. You do know that the game has an offline client, right? You talk as if you have superior knowledge and you don’t even know the game.

See how you sound?

You don’t even play. Stop talking in every single thread trying to cause arguements with other people and every single suggestion someone makes you try shoot it down. Go away troll boy.

Where did you hide the webcams? You know it’s illegal to spy on other people?
I play LE. It’s still my favourite ARPG. I just play offline exclusively these days.

Honestly, you sound like Abomb when someone has a different opinion to yours where you just start dismissing them as inferior human beings and insulting them, rather than have a discussion. It sounds like all you want, like him, is an echo chamber and people saying “You’re so clever, you’re absolutely right”.

Have fun in your echo chamber.
