Stardusk's Guide To The Human Sentinel

Nice to have you and your guides back. Will check out once I get home.


Editing in:

Alrighty that was a nicely enlightening video.  Human sentinel was the first kit I ventured into gold with in ME3 and you got me inclined to do the same in MEA.

I'm probably still stuck in a late stage ME3MP state of mind where fitness was not that big of a deal; spawning mechanics, RHA, and III-IV cyclonics, etc all got hardwired into playstyle (mine at least). All of those factors and more are much different on the new battlefield.  Between my 10 hours of gameplay and your video, I've been convinced to focus more on the fitness tree. 

Solid point about the barricade power, pun mildly intended. Are they solid with respect to enemy position?  That would be a significant change form the ME3 equivalent Geth Juggernaught shield -- and would have implication for camping strategies.  There must be some locations on the map where barricade placement would block enemy access, maybe by extending a wall past their jump jet height.

Hey, glad to hear that you are making MEA related content. Looking forward to it!

It's good to be back.

Your video about life and death of Mass effect 3 mp left sour taste.

Didn't you already run out of time last time around?

Also: dat screenname.

Nice strat videos. It's good to see the character vid's again. They were helpful as hell for people just getting into MP.

My thoughts on the barrier exactly. If you're givin to me for nothing, ok. But I sure ain't dumping any points into some homemade cover.

Whats second best weapon for casters? I dont have that one yet.

Stardusk, now thats a name I have not heard in a long long time. I've forgotten how deep your voice was. Must get the ladies all excited!

Nice vid. I gotta add to this because barricade to most players is an overlooked skill. I did the opposite since combat mastery registers barricade use or damage output. On my barricade skill tree, beginning from rank 4 I chose duration>weapon buff>electric defense. Got up to fourth skill tree on throw and 2 skill levels for energy drain.

Electric defense is where the fun begins and you realize how powerful it is! Aside from the points mentioned, barricade can also be used as a choke point to deny enemies entry into an area. Also, with electric defense, it discharges 100 damage, stuns, AND primes targets for combos all in a 360 degree. So, with sentinel already having a biotic and tech, you can detonate the enemies. It is a really powerful skill. In fact it practically stops all enemies non-armoured enemies in their tracks.

Example: I've ran up to a group of enemies, dropped barricade and all of them are now stunned and primed. Despite my back being exposed, the dog enemies will lunge at me sure, but once they enter my perimeter, they too become stunned and no longer attack me. I've just sat there in my barricade, watching the enemies get shocked. Really, it stops them.

Instead of becoming a defense, you become active in offense as well. At least I was.

Also, once you unlock a buff that benefits your teammates and yourself, you will begin to earn support points which eventually becomes a medal. If you're an offensive aggressor like I am, these points quickly stack up not to mention the combo points you earn from priming and teammates or yourself detonating AND the damage output from the detonations.

It's a REALLY powerful skill. With the stun effect, I won't be surprised if it gets nerfed.

Sweet. I'll watch this in a bit. Unlocked the Asari sentinel, and need to step my energy drain + throw game up.

Your shadow guide is what brought me to BSN, so I guess people can blame you for that.
