Can I just simply play a Sentinel and not rely on any paladin, void knight, or forge guard crap?

I’m a casual player, and I just do not like the mana stuff nor casting I just want pure melee and go slashy slashy… I don’t want to spec into either or… I guess I am nit picky but I just want simple cause i’m simple man that likes simple things no fancy… Melee in your face…

You could try rive - but you do have to pick a class and BIGGGGG shock void knight is the strongest for this build too. It seems most sentinel stuff has links to void damage and the void tree has the most damage multipliers AND the best idols - well the only real specific idols that do insane damage are also void ones. It’s kind of bonkers.

Anyways you won’t need to worry about mana, its purely move around slash your axe / sword / spear etc. It can do some pretty good damage too. Has kind of a small AOE compared to Warpath and Erasing strike for some reason (very weird considering it’s added dmg effectiveness is 125% and Erasing Strike is like 600 )

As previous speaker said, go Void Knight. And go with a two-handed sword or axe, because then you also can use Void Cleave which is the hack n slashiest travel skill you can find.

If you wish to lean more into the melee fantasy using Sentinel, I would echo the sentiment above. Check out Void Knight and maybe VOID CLEAVE!!
While you’ll discover these skills requiring MP, you can find yourself not worried about the MP between skill nodes and gear you might find along the way.

My rule of thumb would be to try each mastery to see what resonates but I’m thinking you should give VK a try. Good luck!
