See... I'm a Djinn main. Everyone gets to play their companions just like me now, and that's actually awesome, lol. Except, Djinn is still better than the rest of the sentinels for solo runs, which is what I primarily do, since he revives faster than any of the others, and can get my dumb butt back up if I get caught in whatever group bullet shower appears.
Advice? Learn what the mod Sacrifice does, lol. Because your sentient just gave you a revive, and will see you again in a minute, lol.
