[Rant] Love to see the upteenth major overhaul for Sentinel

I’m genuinely disappointed. I started playing this game in the first beta wave and since then I came back to LE for every major update. This is the first time I read the patch notes and it feels like a slap in the face.

Shaman got literally one bullet point in the whole 12 pages of patch notes while Sentinel is at its umpteenth “major overhaul”. At this point EHG might as well rename the game to Last Sentinel.

Sheesh … like I wasn’t expecting much but overhauling Sentinel AGAIN, instead of giving some new tools to the rest of the classes seems like an odd choice more than anything.

If I had to guess I’d say Primalist is getting major changes next patch

9 months later… :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Next season is Lich and possibly necro. Don’t know if they’ll also do Shaman.
Lich was actually planned for this season, but didn’t make it.

Some of the classes in this game still need MAJOR work with a lot of skills. I am disappointed that there doesn’t seem to be much priority put into that.

Sentinel needed it, shaman has also gotten buffed/changed recently, its just shit.

Shaman will likely remain unliked because the current vision for what shaman is, does not line up with how most people want to play them.

Shamans theme is “hit guys with stick, and make elemental effects happen, with totems”

they are not a nature caster, they are a hybrid character meant to empower themselves with totems and nature.

Necro/lich still dont have threshold passives on their passives. thats how old they are. They need work badly.

To be fair, to me it doesn’t really feel like “one more Sentinel rework” but simply the continuation of the rework from 1.1.

Sentinel is the worst class in the game and propped up by 1 skill. They absolutely needed a complete rework and can’t wait to finally have build options. Finally Sentinel might actually be competitive and in a decent spot like other Classes.

You seem to be confusing the words overhual/rework with bandaid.

Sentinel was trash design. I’m sorry you didn’t get what you wanted but lets be honest everyone knows how badly and how long Sentinel has been waiting to be fixed. It definitely was top priority. This is really the first major rework for Sentinel since they finally addressed the actual problem.

Primalist were in a good spot and you will have some new items/tech to play around. I hope you get what you want in a latter patch though maybe put up some suggestions in the forums for what you would like to see.

To be honest… once they announced the launch I was suprised because I thought they need at least another year to get everything done without modernising the classes and the game. This fell on their feet already because from my point of view they are still a year behind of where they should be given the game is fully released.

Then again they need to start somewhere and it takes a lot of time and people want everything yesterday. If the game gets better I’ll play it and if it gets stale or down the drain I skip it. This time they did a lot given the time frame they used for it and I’m lloking forward to play it.

:roll_eyes: :roll_eyes: :roll_eyes: Yes, because not being able to offscreen the entire mono at c10,000,000,000 is just bad design & clearly makes him the worst class in the game…

Except it’s not 'cause it’s not a “major rework”, that was a few years ago?

Yeah, that’s fair.

You think that, but you’ll have to wait & see…

You seem to be confusing the words overhual/rework with bandaid.

I am not confusing anything. I literally quoted the announcement video.

Sentinel needed it, shaman has also gotten buffed/changed recently, its just shit.

I am not talking about buffs/numeric adjustments. I am talking about new skills, new tools to play with. In that respect Shaman has been unchanged since the beginning of time while Sentinel got several passes over its toolkit.

You said they Sentinel is receiving their upteenth major overhaul. They are actually receiving their first since launch. Huge difference so you are actually confused on terminology.

As I said…

Okay so then if you understand this. Then why are you upset that Sentinel just got their 1st rework/overhaul?!! Everyone has been waiting since pre launch for Sentinel to be fixed and it’s been promised by the Devs forever. Now it’s finally here.

Again Primalist is in a great spot they didn’t need an overhual where Sentinel was the worst class in the game because of it’s design. I do hope they give other classes some love but you are going to be fine for this update. Gotta fix top priority first.

Or, you know, there’s a teensy bit of hyperbole involved. Though you’re probably right, nobody ever uses hyperbole online.

Im telling you, shaman got a reworked tempest strike, reworked avalanche and buffed/reworked storm totem, as well as storm bolts all in the last two patches.

As well as a reworked/buffed passive tree. Shaman is missing a skill that much is true. So is paladin despite this “sentinel” rework. lots of classes are missing skills.

it does not matter how many sentinel has gotten tbh, its been a long time since sentinel got changed, FG had seen changes to its passive tree, which is got almost no changes other then a keystone ability.

At the end of the day, if you are not happy with shaman after 2 major patches of changes, then the class just isnt living up to its fantasy, and thats because you and the devs dont have the same fantasy.

like paladin isnt fully reworked, it just got its passive tree changed, for hte most part the popular paladin builds will be the same, some kinda spinny, smitey, ailmenty thing.
