Curse

I just bougth my Kurzik armor 15k: helm +axe, knights gauntlets, rest sentinel's.

I can see in the other threads that glads rules mostly and ppl say sentinels sucks... i hardly disagree!!!

i use:
Eviscerate,cyclon, executioners, DS, wathc yourself,For greate justice!, mend, hammer bash

its my build for the deep.

ppl say that +10 armor vs elems is not worth 13str.. it iS!!! but not only against elems. When u have 13 str u get 100 from armor + 36 DS + 20 watch + 16 shild = 172 armor... ds is nonsense with low str. so i u go for armor not evading hits go for max! if i get something else instead of elite attack i could use defy pain and have +20 armor more!!! i just get 0 damage mostly...

when i use ds and wathyourself i can lure lots of elems in the 4 room. ive seen ppl in glads(80armor + 16 shild) doing this and dieing faster than healer could heal!!!

I go for signet and adrenalin and need energy only for 2(one mainly used 5 en, for greate justicy 10 but last for some good time) skills so 27 en is useless...

but 172armor is good against everything.

my stats:
healig prayers: 8
str: 13 (12+1)
axe 12 (9 + 1 +2)
tactics: 5

3 absorption, +41hp runes, +30 hp shild, + 30hp axe. i was thinking over +10gp leggings but 10 isnt much...

and HEAR ME mostly im the last standing!!!

anyone else has good experiences with sentinels????

Yeah, it's nice having a constant AL, but what do you do when you discover some new uber farming build that doesn't use 13 Strength? IMO it would be better to just go with a 90+10 set if you wanted that high defense.

+41 HP = Major Vigor, and no they don't stack. Though if you use say...two Superior runes of the same type, the effects do not stack, but the cost (-150 HP) does.

i said:
3 absorption, +41hp runeS!. one for 3 absorption, one for 41hp= 2 runS!
read carefully.

ive noticed that in factions groups of enemies are mostly variant, there is some monk, some elems, mesmers or necro, assasins or(and) wariors... say all sort of combination. If u go for tactics u cannot evade spells all of them wuld hit u. almost all stances end if u use skill or they slow u down. if u go for energy this way u can loose all of it for taking of conditions or hexes. if ur on str and axe, u go for adrenaline and u use the energy for ever defending yourself. if im not the one who kd i can take remove condidtions instead of hammer bash.

platemail armor is like between glads and sentinels... ive choosen one site not the middle bacouse +10 armor traded for +7en isnt good enough, but +20 armor is IMO.

i think that as a glad u wont to evade attacks with stances so u mostly evade normal attacks not spells. so not even u dont evade spells u olso have minimal armor against it!

in factions solo farm is limited and as a tank u should take on yourself as much damage as possible to let the others do rest...

If there would be some new build for some farm i will buy glads from grotto, imo its the best looking glads armor... glad should look like glad.. and its cheap enough... only 60k + materials... only kurzik chest costs 15k+ 60k amber + materials

I just finished factions a week ago and found at the end game trader energy +5 weapons(without 15^50). This along with a zealous mod I think would be a slot alternative for sentinal or platemail warriors who question the energy vs AL dilema.

Hi there.

I like your build!

I have recently posted a build based on the Sentinel armor too (see 1000hp W build topic). It was slightly different, based not only on armor but also on Defy Pain + Endure Pain.

Have you considered going for E secondary and using one of the Armor spells?

Riccari · Jun 11, 2006, 08:53 AM // 08:53

Couple of things to note - You have Hammer Bash and Eviscerate in your build. Also, people don't dislike Sentinals Armor it's just that Gladiators has a + Energy Bonus which many often prefer. 100 AL Doesn't mean much due to the high strength requirement. I myself use a mix of Ascalon and Gladiators, due to damage reduction and energy bonus.

You are using strength, which is okay, but many like myself prefer the tactics line of defences and support skills from Strength.

Your build for the Deep is okay but could be improved. My standard build for the Deep is a W/Rt

Drunken Blow
Wild Blow
Gladiator's Defence {e}
Shield Stance
Doylak Signet
I Will Avenge You
Healing Signet
Flesh of My Flesh

Doylak Signet for the increased armor level and the fact I can't be knocked down, good combination with skills like Drunken Blow. Gladiator's Defence is a favourite. I Will Avenge you is an odd one, many people call me a noob for using it, but last time I was in the Deep I was left with 7% DP and most had 60% and started Ragequitting. If many party members are dead then it can be quite powerful.
