Usage
- Gain health when in shroud from , gain life force when not in shroud from , siphon health on attacks from and , siphon health and gain life force in combat from and respectively, gain health when not in shroud from .
- Also focuses on dedicated attacks for rebuilding health and life force with , , and , and since health is generated on hit with so many hits is effective too.
- Lots of boon rip with , , , and . Interrupting npc enemy heals is easiest with , can also use , an unreliably long windup for the charge of makes it hard as a reaction, and although it can be used pre-emptively it's more useful as a huge defiance bar break.
- with plus the improved reviving of makes saving teammates a snap, throw in active for dire situations.
- and even one use of makes for effectively perma swiftness. Red borderlands especially are annoying due to big drops on some paths putting character in combat, which activates the siphon health and can put the character in longer combat by ticking yellow monsters.
- is the only stun break. Shroud cleanses conditions too and conditions rarely trouble the healing anyway, but stun lock builds are dangerous.
- F2P cannot craft Sentinel gear without Guild Commendations, and cannot buy them or the needed components from AH, but WvW PvP and fractals all offer easy access to customizable gear that can choose Sentinel, and the build functions well in PvP and fractals too. Soldier gear is easier to get and a reasonable substitute while gearing. As of September 2023 there are no good relics for the build, Fireworks is at least graphically festive without being graphically obnoxious.
