Crusader & Close Combat & Sential Armor ?

[Julius_213]

i play a level 50 Crusader with two hand power sword and Thunderhammer as weapons. and i think normally its better to play it with a attack or demolition armor. But it is also possibile to play with sentinal armor ? they look soo more better than the other typs....

you can use any of the crusader armors, your not restricted in what you uses, just like you can use long range weapons, you just cant use cross class armor or class only weapons

Yes, you can use Sentinel armor, but you'll have to sacrifice all the bonuses to damage mitigation bonuses, since the damage mitigation is lower.

I've did that for a lot of my leveling using armor with the "Suppression and Health Regen % equal to missing health" Relic buff and it worked really well.

The best build I ever ran with that armor had the Artificial Organs II perk which essentially meant my character was stuck at 50% health all the time, and then used a lot of +Dam%=%missing health .... it's rather effective.

I use sentinel armour on my endgame crusader with self-flagellation and augmented body II, each jump on the amour heals around a fifth of my health with the heal on focus spent attribute and passive, if you keep block on a suppression shield it also tops up your health (more slowly). With 4+ focus regeneration it hardly ever runs low.

Out of curiosity, if you are going the Augmented Boby route, why not just upgrade to Augmented Body 2 at end game so that Suppression is always 100%?

I've been tempted to try an Augmented Body II build but I just can't give up my practical immunity from stacking regen and Artificial Organs II plus damage mitigation from Crisis Management. I lose health quick down to 50% health and then nothing can kill me.

heh, apparently. Have you ever played around with the Artificial Organs II + Crisis Management pairing? If not, give it a try some time. Talk about tanky!
