So yes, it's doable without...but only because other people in the party cover for you. (PS, it costs a healer less mp to let you die and raise you...esp since another DD should raise you since the healer usually can't reach you as easily nor should they waste MP on you) And if you are playing as a mage...you pretty much DO need it...

...or wait until after patch 1.20 goes live

Actually it only takes one mage to toss a cure on the tank after hellfire, and that's if its needed (as he often starts jumping). Any of the other mages could get the heal off on the DD, or the DD could heal themselves (they shouldnt be taking any extra dmg right after Hellfire anyway). That's not what I'd consider a burden on the party. And no, a mage doesn't need it at all, in fact that's primarily what I was talking about.. I usually go as main heal, and haven't used Sentinel once. Too many wins to count.
