Ultimate Sentinel PVE Build - Dealing insane damage with Greatsword & Staff!

[@radyradkov973]

You really impressed me. Very well tought and well explained build. You've won a new subscriber

[@grobs4678]

nice :)

[@denislanthier4907]

I've been playing Sentinel since launch and it is a great class. I'm never changing.

[@nekukageyami4560]

i would love to see your take on Longbow Dagger. Ive been contemplating what weapon I want to use with longbow. Been a longbow/wand, longbow/staff and getting bored of spamming longrange spells and not moving much. great video as always!

[@Phrismo_Vekanandre]

Im a SNS/GS player but now you gave me real interest in adding staff as a possible choice in my build once i have the resources

[@grobs4678]

nice :)

[@FX-POC]

Alrighty really eager to watch it ! I've been thinking​ about it more and I feel like using wand for big sleep with the Xbow AOE could do some big bombing in PvP as well as pve. I just dunno how good of a healer it is.@@grobs4678

OFFMETA is the way, Great Job men

[@grobs4678]

yes :) and thx :)

[@bigcat514]

I picked up the Karnix Bow and main SnS/GS. Would be cool to see a Ranger build that works well in PvE and even PvP situations. Cool stuff!

[@bryanmackay8732]

Love it. I've been using Sentinel and Paladin myself. I am a lot more focused on STR, 50. Using the Field General Body and Feet for the additional melee heavy chance.

[@grobs4678]

I thought about that but I think attack speed is too important in the build... but I think your build will be way better in PVP :)

[@bryanmackay8732]

@grobs4678 currently 50 STR / 50 DEX! Unsure what my H attack is. It's high. Honestly the build is great, MP a big issue but Imner Peace solves that.

[@grobs4678]

@@bryanmackay8732 yeah maybe if you are complete BIS you dont need inner peace anymore but till then its for sure a must have

[@Bongstahable]

Is fun for sure. Hope you keep it updated Grobs! +1

[@grobs4678]

yes for sure :)

[@wilmerluigi3135]

Excellent video, how efficient would it be in massive wars and how would you use the build?

[@FX-POC]

All of your vids are so good ! You making me want to try some off meta build but I don't think I got the knowledge for it. I do wonder how good would wand/Xbow be as dps or healer 🤔

[@grobs4678]

thanks mate :) good question ... I will doe a healer comparison video in the next weeks. the video will take some time but there I will test it :)

[@marcelnohren1756]

Danke für deine ausführlichen Erklärungen, mit deiner Hilfe verstehe sogar ich alter Sack dieses Spiel immer besser! :) Wenn ich einen Wunsch frei hätte, dann würde ich mir wünschen du startest eine Serie in der einzelne Waffen wie z. B. die Dolche erklärt werden. Denn ich lese mir die Fähigkeiten Beschreibungen durch und verstehe teilweise gar nicht was da alles beschrieben wird und welche zusammenhänge entstehen können. Oder ein Video in dem Gift / Feuer / Sturm / Donner etc. erklärt wird, das würde mir unheimlich helfen :) VG

[@Justin-yc8ff]

This build is insane!

[@grobs4678]

thats what I thought :D

[@pragmaticeagle4832]

I like off-meta builds. They prove you can be effective & have fun without being a lemming.

[@grobs4678]

yes :)

[@salvaz]

Serial Firebombs is Faster to shoot yes, but Focused Fire Bombs turns it into a massive AOE with a lot of Splash damage, easily tripling the amount of damage what the Serial one would do, serial is 10x Better in PvP because of the Mobility and no Charge time. For Comparison : A Fully Charged Focused Firebomb can do up to 12k damage on my Character, the serial firebombs combined only do 3,7k Also, yes attack speed is also important, but getting that heavy attack chance up is like S-Tier important with that class, especially once u go into the PvP direction, so neitherless its good to have it straightaway, since that class will be played with Endurance and not Evasion later on, u need long endurance time to charge your big impacting attacks. Staff/GS is so easy if not one of the easiest classes in PVE if well combined, theres totally no need to keep PvE and PvP content apart for now until T3 Gear, u can simply go for your PVP setup from the start, and still be one of the top 2 DD's in your dungeon.

[@grobs4678]

with this built you have so many abilities to use. the time you charge up the skill you already used 3-4 more skills. and shooting the 3 fireballs with so much attackspeed goes so fast like is an instant skill. Big numbers look nice but they dont give you DPS. In PVE its just about damage per second. But additionally there are 2 other problems with the upgrade: 1st you dont get instantly you 10 fire stacks. probably have to play with meteor? meteor again terrible DPS. damage is ok but cooldown way too long. 2nd you have to cancel the skill sometimes and when this happens then of course DPS drops even more We really need a DPS meter in the game... But yeah I like the spells also but there is just not good PVE. It just PVP upgrades :S

[@myrkshideouts6020]

i think the 4 set bonus shadow harvest is better than 2/2 phantom/harvest cause u get 10% attackspeed which is beneficial for all ur skill gs and staff but the bonus dmg is only good for all the staff skills i got alrdy lvl 9 plate of feldgeneral should i focus on getting this setbonus ? but stacking to much heavy is deminishing the return ( 500 heavy = 33% chance and 1000 heavy= 50% chance ) and isnt it better to use staff on mainhand cause it gives u 8% cdr because of mastery ?

[@grobs4678]

the problem is you cant change the gloves because you need the attackspeed from the gloves. you could do chest and boots in addition. so boots are super hard to get and chest has no good stats for PVE. yes you can do it but I think the attackspeed in my build is enough. maybe if you a couple of deadly markers in your team having more attackspeed is better but in general I wouldnt recommend 4 peace. for my build only melee heavy attack is for sure not worth it. If it would be general heavy attack its almost always good to take it but only melee heavy attack is not good enough. so dont go general if you want to play this build

[@myrkshideouts6020]

@@grobs4678 yes only melee heavy is not good cause it focus to much on gs skills and on the other side bonus dmg is not good cause it focus to much on the staff skills which hit alot but to be fair not as much as xbow so i think we can keep the gloves for the attackspeed + 2 set shadow harvest and the rest maybe strong stat armour or another 2 set bonus like the cdr one but ye this is minmax talking XD

[@grobs4678]

@@myrkshideouts6020 true that. But I was also testing different foods for the build and I noticed the biggest damage increase against the screct dungeon bosses with "bonus damage" food ^^ the good thing about the 2 peace is also its just fits stat wise really good

[@Triten81]

Could a Paladin build work with Greatsword/wand, where it focuses on using the Dots from wand along with the sword skills as a pure dps instead of the defensives and heals? Great videos btw! Your tank video helped out soo much!

[@bryanmackay8732]

I run Paladin for my solo / aoe farm build. Also use it when I have questionable healers. Works well, great self sustain and decent heals/ buffs.

[@grobs4678]

can it work? Yes. will it have competitive damage? No ^^

[@emeukal7683]

What about gs and xbow how does it compare? Im looking for a third weapon, gs sns is so hard to even beat 3minjte at secret boss

[@grobs4678]

I saw a lot of GS/XBow and it seems also really strong. But I have never played it myself. So its really hard for me to tell. Both will be fine. XBow is for sure more meta.

[@emeukal7683]

@@grobs4678 Nice, so ill get base skills purple and somehow loot that frickin rex xbow to finally be at the same progression or close to dps players XD.What's nice is that staff can act on that frozen bound effect.

How is the class for large scale pvp? ive been thinking of swaping from GS/dagger to GS/staff.

[@glorymmo]

its bad. video is pve bait.

[@jagd2031]

Would you say this build has even more damage than the greatsword and daggers? And what about the crossbow and daggers?

[@grobs4678]

greatsword/dagger: pretty sure... need to do more testing but I am almost 100% sure it will have more damage. XBow/dagger: Probably not in T1 gear... maybe in T2 gear... because generally XBow/Dagger T2 weapons are not so nice... but usually Xbow/Dagger is the king in PVE... but maybe ^^ I have to do more testing with this build :)

This looks like a lot of fun! For something like soloing Abyssal dungeons, how is the sustain? I see you getting health back but I'm not sure what ability is providing that heal. Thanks so much for making this video!

[@ralphgunzel4329]

Werde mal deine Skill-Kombi testen, da ich GS/Staff als Farm/DD-Variante für meinen Tank nutze, der ansonsten als SnS/Staff unterwegs ist. Da ich deswegen eher Heavy Gear habe und eher auf Stärke gehe als Geschicklichkeit, werde ich auch nie an den Schaden rankommen, aber eventuell wird mir der Build helfen das Farmen etwas erleichtern.

Nice we have a similar set up. Im suprised you didnt bring the constitution passive for hp boost to tie it with vital focus.

I thought about it but its just 6 skill damage boost ^^ thats not worth it for PVP I think.. what would you change for it?

[@botdog78]

@grobs4678 I currently have that in place of the mana regen per hit passive. But right now my buld has those charges on the firebox and the two greatsword abilities. Might change that with the info here.

definitely not how you optimize your dmg for GS/Staff in the slightest, looks fun but is highly ineffective missing out on guillotine doing upwards of 140k instead its hitting like a wet noodle in this build for 5-10k. Yes gs/staff can be amazing if you build around the right things mainly Guillotine I do think your take is interesting though

[@grobs4678]

yeah I have my opinion on the chargeable skills and I said it in the video :S

[@rizzlybear204]

140k? Remove that zero lmao. Guillottine charged is just too slow for this build. it-s only good in pvp when enemy is stunned or GS Dagger player

[@snowflakeblanket2924]

@@rizzlybear204 clearly you haven't seen a properly hit guillotine charge where deathblow hits around 70-80k best-case and guillotine hits literally 70.1k x2 heavy attack so yes 140k+ at around 3.1k gearscore already (let alone when we hit tier 2 gear) its preference of course in playstyle but its really not hard to hit insane numbers on guillotine
