Changes to Sentinel

[Brightshadow]

I know Sentinel was designed as a sub skill, but what im suggesting is a possible way to make it its own class. Plus by making it its own class it offers many benefits, and a new class never really used before in a MMO, imagine fighting with a tower shield I see it pretty interesting, and it offers new skills that can also be used by the other classes.

Benefits
-New shields
-New skills
-New guild
-Additional Benefits to users of shields that decide to go pass rank 25
-New class
-New tank option for those that don't feel the current option fit them
-easier to implant than a brand new class.
-etc

I still don't think you should make it a subjob by reducing its skill level to half of whatever your main is. That would make it pretty useless for gladiators.

Fencer and Flayer were in the data mined class list from Alpha I think, those would also add something that hasn't really been done in other MMOs and would actually be a viable combat class.

A spiked shield WOULD be awesome though...
@Alexia.. i hadn't heard that... that is very interesting

I actually think sentinel should be removed as a class. Give Gladiator and the mage classes their own shield skills (and 2hand skills while they're at it).

The concept of sentinel as a second class is pretty stupid, to put it bluntly. It served no useful purpose, and there isn't any compelling reason why it needs to be that way.

It works plenty well as it is. I'd say this would be a waste of development resources much needed elsewhere.
