Guild Wars 2

Hi,
Just wondering if we will see the return of Sentinel’s gear in the Tower of Nightmares patch, or any time soon?

I’ve just put together a build I would really like to try out, but at the current cost of… 490 gold, I think that’s a bit rich :-(

Cheers

once they introduced ascended armor, sentinel’s armor insignia will be available.
probably for purchase via guild commendations.

Oh wow. That really went up in price.

Nice to know my T3 Sentinel I made for 200g is now retailing for 600g. If the DPS wasn’t so sub-optimal, I might think to wear it more often, and parade around like a King.

I hope not, why anyone would pay so much for a useless stat set I don’t know.

You.. You’re a carebe-ehem! PVE player right?

If you need sentinel gear in PvP/WvW then I don’t know what to say… There is no content in this game that requires anything that defensive.

Isnt Sentinels just pvt? Just AC it…
And @Adam – what are you smoking? I hope you’re not implying zerker should be the way to go in wvw as well…

Sentinel has a higher Vitality stat

Been playing for 8 months and I did not know that… Thanks.

I didn’t say that, but sentinels is too much defense. I’ve never had any problem in wvw with knights armour and zerker trinkets, be it zerg combat or whatever.

You obviously don’t play an Elementalist! With Knights and Zerk, you would take about 75% HP damage from one backstab.

However, Sentinel’s gear is major Vitality, with minor power and toughness (aka ptV) where Soldier’s is Ptv. Since this gear was for my ele, with a build I made aimed at a supporting staff roll, the ptV gear would provide greater benefits through extra vitality than it would any power or precision.

Unfortunately Toughness gear has no minor in vit, and the only other Vitality gear (Shamans) has no toughness.. so Sentinel’s is great, but not available.

you can already buy the inscriptions with guild commendations and make the weapons.

I would also be interested in seeing Sentinel armor make a return. ANet, any chance of this? An official reply would be great

I’m sure that when Ascended armor is released, Sentinel armor insignia will become available from the Guild Commendation trader as well. We will probably also get an Azurite node in the home instance at the same time.
