The Unwavering Bastion

As this warrior doubles down on physical defense, they become like a castle wall that encircles the entire party, firing back strong retaliations and shielded attacks. Able to draw aggro from the entire battlefield and temporarily increase their own defenses, in the battle for sturdiest class, there is no competition for the Sentinel.

Clad in the heaviest armor and wielding massive shields, Sentinels are the living fortresses of any battle formation. They are trained to anticipate attacks, deflect blows, and create openings for their allies. A well-played Sentinel can single-handedly turn the tide of battle by controlling enemy movement and absorbing punishment that would fell lesser warriors. Their presence on the battlefield is both reassuring to allies and demoralizing to foes, as they demonstrate that some walls simply cannot be broken.

Unlock

Sentinel is a tier 3 class that is unlocked by leveling the Knight class to level 50.

Pros and Cons

Comparisons are made considering classes from the same tier

The main point of Sentinels is to control the battlefield and protect allies from harm. They can self sustain incredibly well with Stalwart Fortitude making meat and other potions heal a lot, and of course Unyielding Resolve healing back a huge portion of their HP whenever it's off cooldown.

Of course, they lack the damage output of other classes, and are vulnerable to magic damage. But the utility with Shield Smash and Shield Boomerang stuns and the capacity of keeping enemy aggro is extremely valuable.

• Strengths:
  • Unmatched defensive capabilities
  • Exceptional crowd control with stuns and displaces
  • Taunt protects allies from harm by redirecting damage
  • High HP and damage mitigation

• Weaknesses:
  • Low damage output
  • Vulnerable to magic damage
  • Small MP pool

Stats

Sentinels primarily scale with VIT for maximum survivability. STR is important for maintaining threat and dealing some damage, while WIS helps with MP regeneration and magical defense.

DEX is useful for accuracy, and AGI is generally the least important stat for Sentinels.

Recommended Builds

• For a pure tank Sentinel:

 Focus on VIT and WIS, with just enough STR and DEX to maintain threat. This build maximizes survivability and support capabilities.

• For a more balanced approach:

 Distribute points between VIT, STR, and DEX for a mix of defense, threat generation, and utility.

• For landing stuns and taunts:

 A lot of DEX for the S.Atk, and then VIT for HP and defense. A little bit of WIS and STR to still be able to deal damage and have MP to cast skills.

Gear

Recommended gear for Sentinels

• Weapons
  • One-Handed Swords: Balanced option that allows for shield use, good Hit rate
  • Maces: Provides S.Atk for stuns and additional control, as well as True Damage

• Armor
  • Heavy Armor: Provides the best protection and synergizes with Ironclad Endurance
  • Tower Shields: Essential for maximizing defensive capabilities and dealing more damage with Shield Smash and Shield Boomerang
  • Light Armor: Maybe throwing in a piece or two for a good balance of magical defense and MP as well

• Accessories
  • Focus on accessories that boost VIT, S.Atk and MP Regeneration so you can sustain

Ideas and Suggestions

These are all suggestions, you can't have 1 script which is perfect for every hunt and every gear

• Challenge is great for grabbing aggro and increasing damage but it's range 1
• Taunt is your choice for a whole battlefield aggro. Check how many enemies are left to choose which you want to use
• Keep Unyielding Resolve active for survivability
• Shield Boomerang helps interrupt enemy attacks and maintain threat, even from afar
• Adjust a script step with how many Retaliation stacks you want to basic attack with. If you want to try and stun, use all 15 stacks (self: retaliation stacks higher than = 14)
• Moving Fortress is excellent if you want to invade the enemy lines, but also to avoid damage when you're low on HP
• Healing items that drop from monsters, like meat, are very effective for Sentinels with all the Fortitude skill line increases
