Sentinel - Overpowered? Naked and not afraid!

This thread is just “wah sentinel op”

Wow the class that has a really good defense floor can get resistance and health and armor without items? THATS CRAZY.

This entire narrative is “wahhh my passives dont give me defense nerf sentinel”

meanwhile you got shamans who can cap 3 resistance and potentially even 4 while having thorn totems up, and you got people goin “ewww imagine getting 200% cold damage, and capped 4 res but its sooo situational, i need to have a totem up!”

It got derailed by some, who thought that it just wasn’t possible in any way and had to be cheated or at least be altered.

The derailment makes sense.

because the baseline narrative is stupid.

You know paladin could cap 5 resistances with no items last patch too, but suddenly now paladin is broken.

Paladin also had 400 flat armor while using a shield last patch 90% of what paladin did last patch, they can do this patch. All thats changed is people have theory crafted builds better because paladin is the new hotness.

Mom, I am on video :smiley: Okay, now I understand why you can do that, blessings gives to much advantage :thinking:

I think it’s not fully naked at some point, but nice try.

I wasn’t implying you cheated. Just found it odd to get that high without gear and wanted to see your build.

he didn’t get that high without gear, just undressed

???
You can clearly see the whole run with inventory, stat screen and skills, even the process of entering a monolith. Like, it’s visible, fully. I even provided the link to the Build, where you can compare stats and everything. This has to be the worst attempt to troll, or this exceeds your capacity.

No, you clearly did: “since you’re playing offline and have admitted to using mods.”
Or what would you call this? Asking for the Build would contain a different combination of words.

They are getting there. Sentinel was the worst class in the game and now they finally have competitive builds.

nah, I am telling you leveled up with gear or you telling us you did all up to lvl 100 without gear at all?

and blessings count as gear, if you don’t understand what I am said before, no trolling man. I am dead serious.

Tbf, that’s only surprising if you’ve never really played sentinel.
The class always been one of the best (if not the best) in terms of raw defense it gains simply from passive tree. And I’m talking pre 1.2 here.

As far as my reply goes, nothing changed.

I told you - we’ve seen this already.
Your naked damage, naked clear speed and naked survivability still aren’t amazing by any standard. Your average gamer with bad gear will outperform you. So calling it overpowered is simply misleading.

If you think clearing a map naked is some kind of achievement you want - go for it. If you think you should record it on youtube and post it to LE community, feel free to do so. Just don’t call it something it isnt :wink:

According to he who must not be named, the Sentinel was the worst of all classes, so you are clearly wrong!!

To further the point Psojed is making: your video would only be relevant if you were to take all classes into consideration and how far you can push all of them. And then came to the conclusion that Sentinel was the one that went much further than all the others.

To be fair, I doubt it is. I’m quite confident that either a glass cannon build like dive bomb or a ward generating one like warlock can outperform sentinel. But I don’t actually know.

I’d actually like to see something like this, rather than a simple clickbait video that doesn’t actually say anything.

Maybe the starting boots should also be included. Might be wrong, but I remember you cannot use dodge roll if you have no boots on.

My uneducated bet on the final standings would be:

Builds that can clear off-screen > Minion builds > Ranged builds > “Ranged” Melee builds > actual Melee builds > Reflect and other Meme builds :smiley:

to be fair, defense floor is good, but defense ceiling has always been different.

I think honestly what made sentinel better isnt actually the tree changes. A huge part of it is being able to 100% slam t7 block chance on a 1lp shield. Suddenly making a 50%+ block shield is literally day 1 experience which means block has suddenly become so much of a better defense mechanic for sentinels to get into. 100% block is actually quite easy to maintain these days if you are dedicated.

The problem is when you play sentinel without shield :slight_smile:

Sentinel was good and now he is good too, idk what you guys talking about. This is best defence class in game

He can outgear some bosses now with particular setups, example on 1000cc:

Still having so much fun with this class now though. So, is it time to nerf in your opinion? Some things are too OP? Or are they ok for the time spent to build around, getting all this items? IDK :tipping_hand_woman:
