In your opinion, what is the best sentinel weapon? Or are they not worth the bother?

In my Opinion its Artax. Simply because the guaranteed Cold Proc meand 60% Bonus Damage on all my Condition Overload Weapons :D

What if I were to have a sentinel weapon which is more for dealing with enemies by itself, any recommendations for that? Or are they not really worth it?

 

[Vlasinyr 238]

they barely do anything, so they'd take a long time to kill anything. you're better off with none or artax.

I have noticed Deconstructor killing enemies when I am ignoring them.

Deconstructor Prime is lethal even to sortie enemies.  I just traded for a Deconstructor Riven too.  Unfortunately, only Helios can use it.  Sweeper Prime is the only other weapon of note.

I should mention the reason Deconstructor is so effective is that it's making use of melee stealth multipliers. Least last I tested it.

It's technically a bug.

I use a Blast Status build Sweeper with a Rank1 Striker mod. It forces Carrier to only attack enemies within melee range using AoE CC and otherwise not attack anything which minimizes it's risk of being attacked and prioritize close enemies only. Status is generally the best you can hope for in a Sentinel weapon.

The Prime Laser Rifle isn't bad with a crit/status hybrid build. I use it to pick off weaker enemies at medium range, and for the heavier enemies strip armor with corrosive.

Is it truly worth putting Forma and a catalyst into it?

Is it worth getting a carrier prime just for the weapon?

[hooperinius 221]

Carrier/carrier prime is worth it because it has high health and holds ammo for you. Also it converts ammo to your weapon type. Only other useful sentinel is Helios for the scanning.

 

Artax is the most useful weapon especially with vile acceleration and some mods. You can forma it for 2-3 damage types and you will notice enemies that are frozen+going bananas with radiation all around you. Great for condition overload melee.

[Oreades 8,382]

None, I haven't had the space to equip an attack precept on my sentinels so no point in equipping weapons :P 

Plus not having one equipped leaves a bit more XP on the table to be split into other gear.

Vulklok is hands down the best one. Modded for corrosive it takes out level 100 curropted in one shot. Modded for gas/electric it will do the same to infested.

 

Artax would be the second best for condition overload users

Seriously? That sounds far fetched...  What build do you have on it?

I have bad fps so forgive the stuttering, but here u go

You said something about killing level 100 corrupted in one shot, these are infested, they aren’t armored. I’m not saying that the build is bad, im just wondering whether or not it does the same to corrupted.

Sweeper Prime and Prisma Burst Laser are both pretty nifty ranged Status spewers
and can - especially with a good Riven - deal a not-insignificant bit of damage, to boot.

BTW, try those on a Sentinel that actually has some range (woo Diriga),
CC-ing / outright killing enemies up to 70 meters away without having to do a thing,
it's like you've got some high-Range World On Fire action with you at all times :D
