Stupid Sentinel Ideas

[Hallorann]

Now that i have your attention, can I interest you into buying a timeshare?

 

I know what you're thinking, this is a scam. First, I get you to play a game, then I force you to pay in order to win.

 

Well, that's where you're wrong.

 

 

Anyway, sentinels should get some loving too.

 

We can undoubtedly agree that Shade is the best sentinel in the game right now.

There's really no point in getting any other sentinel. Dethcube may do some damage, but Shade just increases your survivability by too much to give up. Shade is your best friend in solo runs as well, allowing you to safely hack data consoles against infested, grineer, and sometimes corpus.

 

Anyway, Sentinels should be like Auras, in that they should benefit the team, not just the Tenno equipping them. 

 

In a squad oriented game, or one that's trying to promote that style of gameplay, why not have a shield sentinel?

It acts like those corpus shield drones. It gives a shield boost to you and allies around you.

 

 

Or have Sentinels encompass skills of warframes. Have a Sentinel randomly mark an enemy's weak point, like Sonar, at random intervals. Instead of AoE, however, it will only mark a single target. This would be kind of useless against mobs, but great for bosses.

 

Hell, these don't even need to be new Sentinels, they can just be a new sentinel skill. Something more useful than Sanctuary, maybe. To be honest, Guardian is more useful than Sanctuary. Max out Guardian, and you'll see.

Words cannot describe how absolutely correct you are, in every aspect.

Wyrm master Sentinel

 

 

We need passive bonus mods for Sentinels so we can have an excuse to potato them.

If it includes pet control buttons like WoW (eg: press 5/6/7/8 for a pet ability) , count me in.

 

Seriously tho, would love to see sentinel abilities that require user input. Add more Skill to the game.
