The Asari Sentinel is now a goddess

All you gotta do is check the Passives bullet list on the Character screen and compare the Asari Sent to the Human Sent. The Asari Sent is obviously more Powers-centric, whereas the Human Sent is more Weapons-centric.

Aside from Backlash vs Barricade, these Passive bonuses are what really differentiate the two. And the Asari Sent's Cooldown reduction evo got buffed another 10% this patch. I heartily endorse speccing her for as fast Cooldowns as possible, and wearing a Cooldown Booster. The Human Sent should wear a Weapon Rail Amp, and optionally hug their Barricade for even more Weapon bonuses.

Both should use your choice of Cryo or Incendiary Ammo.

Fav kit and yeah she was a beast but now... Godly.

I always always use cryo or incin ammo on her. The trick is knowing the rotation of which explosions you want to use.... Obviously prime with ammo... If you throw first you can detonate a fire explosions then if you have throw a primer detonate a biotic explosion that a team mate can then detonate a tech burst on.... OR trigger the fire explosion with energy drain then tech burst with throw for cc stun that a team mate can detonate a BE from the throw.

Run with a power efficiency 3 or 4 and she is really top notch explosion queen!

Okay that Backlash gif has made me curious. What should I drop to put into it though? I love her combo explosions.

I agree that you can skip Backlash 6.

Mobs mostly stop shooting at you while it's up anyway, so unless you throw it up against Anointed or Observers, you won't really be gaining much from the buff.

I'm not concerned about ammo detonation, so I don't put more than one point in throw. It gets the job done.

Those Observers definitely don't give AF. They are always shooting at me when the Backlash is up.

edit: I am with Kenny, I don't seem to have that issue.

Observers and Anointed don't stop firing once they start, so they will not stop shooting at you when Backlash is up.  These are the easiest mobs to kill other guys w/.  Most other things, like Chosen, fire in really short bursts, so if they are already firing, they'll finish their burst and then find something else to shoot, in my personal experience.

I haven't played w/ it much since the patch, but pretty much every other mob in front of the shield will just pick an easier target if I put Backlash up.  Mobs behind you give zero fucks, of course.

I don't honestly mind; Backlash is there as a defensive, and a room full of enemies deciding to stop firing at me is pretty damn good as defensives go.

I love Backlash, I use it in my SP build as well.  The mobs stop shooting you in SP too.

Apologies for being late to the party. Decided to try this Sentinel. Over a period of a few games I have been trying to reflect the Destroyer's super charged bolt but not doing very well. Am I bad with my timing or is it a futile effort. IIRC you can reflect Ascendent's red ball correct?

What weapons do you guys normally run with this kit? I run the Ushior

I find her not as aggressive as the Asari Adept (perhaps its my L2P issue) but she is more than viable for gold difficulty.

So I'm not clear on something. Is she dependent on ammo consumables to be solid or a particular weapon? Those of us who are completely new to her could benefit from more specific info.

Could someone that does well with her on gold breakdown her playstyle a bit please?

So she is consumable dependent then?

She benefits greatly from ammo, yes.
