Human Kineticist: Wow she is underwhelming

It does SIGNIFICANTLY more damage than Throw.

Stack power damage, use ammo primers, and Lance all the things.

She's okay, but don't play her if you're going to lose Ascension mode every 5 seconds.

Dat ass tho...

That's like saying Rosie O'Donnell is SIGNIFICANTLY more attractive than Rosanne Barr.

3/10 would bang.

But...um, she's hotter...tho...I dunno man...

She's dope af. Who gives a shit if Johnny infiltrator can dps circles around her with a Vanquisher? Do any of you play for fun at all? She can launch motherfuckers (and gas cans 'n shit) into each other for combo explosions and hurl enemies off the map assembly line style. She's been shown to be totally viable on Gold, which I'm sure for the most part none of us have any trouble succeeding on anyway lol. Ultra Rare doesn't have to mean S+ tier broken godmode characters; she's unique enough to warrant the distinction.

She is awesome and does fine on gold. Need priming ammo and fast firing weapon but still a solid character and an absolute awesome one to play. Tons of fun. Might be the funnest in the game. But if all you want to do is cloak and shoot shit with a vanquisher or spam nades or face tank melee stuff while blind button mashing have at it...

Sentinel's Energy Drain primes all targets including shields and armor and when it detonates it leaves a long lasting AoE electric cloud that can stun everything including Berserkers, except for boss targets.  It even chain primes Hydras and Destroyers, while Kineticist looks at them uselessly. 

On top of that Sentinel's Barricade primes multiple target and re-primes them too after explosion. Also, Energy Drain is both a detonator and a primer, which allows you to do ammo > ED detonate > Throw detonate combo of dual detonation and CC on all targets - armor, shields whatever.

Finally, Sentinel has +42% weapon damage and +45% accuracy passive inside barricade, meaning automatic guns do actual damage and can kill shit.


I have Kineticist and it's like nowhere near Human Sentinel when it comes to effectiveness and to add insult to the injury - Sentinel is a common class, so you have it at X pretty much by default.

Like that shit guide with Kineticist where he uses ammo and explosions? Sentinel is times better at this, simply because of chain priming and detonating on top of awesome defenses AND gun damage, so you can actually gun tough shit down, instead of of praying for your team to save your ass and hoping you won't drop Ascension.


And if that is not enough - every time I ED, allies near me regen 50% shield and Barricade can block frikkin' Fiends from going through or just about anything if you place it at the door. This kit does excellent gun damage, CC, multi-primes, multi-detonates AND supports at the same time, Kineticist is not even half that.

Lulz, I think you do not understand just how powerful Sentinel is... ability to literally AoE prime and stunlock and blow up a whole spawn or the fact that you have +42% weapon damage making your weapons do actual damage and insane defenses are on a whole other level compared to Kineticist.

Let's see Kineticist do this:

It's cool you're trying to make this about you like in the old Krogan Sentinel thread, but the FACTS are her gimmick is slow comnpared to others and a gimmick and she's a straight middle of the road character, and we don't even know what the precision output on that is yet, that's how blatant it is.


You can continue to try to take apart my diction to gain argument points, but all you're doing is highlight you actually don't have a cogent counter argument other than 'I can player her real goods'; well yay for you, congratulations, you are the capo di tuti capi of kineticism.

Meanwhile in the real world, she is squarely middle of the pack effective and reliant on a non-gold-clutch worthy mechanic that is pretty ok at best during issue/clutch/two ascendants and a fiend times. She's fine for silver and when fully screened by bros and sisses in gold, and that's about it. She's not even in the top ten and probably not even in the top fifteen, and for a character you're expected to grind about 50 hours to max out, that's the rote definition of mediocre.

You continue to use phrases like "gimmick", "a straight middle of the road character", and "reliant on a non-gold-clutch worthy mechanic" without any explanation what those words mean. Name-calling isn't an argument.

All I did was asking questions to understand what you mean by those words, and point out possible inconsistencies in your reasoning.

I don't give a damn about topping the scoreboard or any such nonsense. All I'm interested in is having fun, and with ME games that means killing space aliens with big guns and cool abilities. I love tossing enemies around with biotics, it's one of things I like best about ME games. Yet every time someone points out how much fun that can be, others jump in with: "but it doesn't work against armor #NotAllEnemies - so it's bad!", or "doesn't have the highest weapon damage bonus so it's crap", or "my GI outscores your build on Platinum so you suck!"

P.S. The Krogan Sentinel is my favorite ME3 Krogan & VegasFlash is the best capo di tuti capi player in both galaxies!
