Suggestion: Let us replace Sentinel weapon with a portable nullifier bubble generator for sentinel

Suggestion: Let us replace Sentinel weapon with a portable nullifier bubble generator for sentinel.

Reason: Most people don't use sentinel weapon to improve it's survivability, they do not care about it's offensive power and the slot is wasted. Also sentinels need defense against huge eximus enemy attacks that are the main reason why they die in a mission - my tanky frame suffers 0 consequence while sentinel dies the moment it gets respawned.

I would love to see this idea implemented.

I would much rather not drag a nullifier bubble around with me... I like using abilities!

Losing the weapon is not a drawback unless you are using Helios and Deconstructor. It isn't a sufficient sacrifice to allow Sentinels to do the only thing they are useful for, for longer. Their utility is based on their survivability. Raise one part without a drop in the other and it is not even remotely reasonable.

Maybe?

It's a wasted slot if almost nobody actually uses it. From game development perspective, what's worse? Something that is not used at all or something that is more heavily balanced to one side (defense) than the other (offense) ? Personally I think that a completely wasted slot is worse than an unbalanced one, unless it breaks the game. Not that easy to break warframe with bad balance thou.
