==Description==
[[File:Sentinel_Ratings.png|thumb|227px]]
This class has a [[Tribes: Ascend/Drop Jammer|Drop Jammer]] as its [[:Category:Deployables|deployable]]. The Drop Jammer can be utilized for hiding the Sentinel's sniping location or placed on the flag stand to reveal [[Tribes: Ascend/Infiltrator|Infiltrator]]s from [[stealth Pack|stealth]] and camouflage friendly defenders. The [[Tribes: Ascend/Claymore Mine|Claymore Mine]]s can also be used either for personal, asset, or objective defense while the [[T5 Grenade]] is more offensively oriented.

The '''Sentinel''' has a few choices when going onto the field. Both the [[Tribes: Ascend/BXT1 Rifle|BXT1 Rifle]] and the [[Tribes: Ascend/Phase Rifle|Phase Rifle]] will restrict his movement ability, the [[Tribes: Ascend/BXT1 Rifle|BXT1 Rifle]] requires he remain scoped for 3 seconds to get the maximum damage on his shot, while the [[Tribes: Ascend/Phase Rifle|Phase Rifle]] Will use 90 of his energy to fire a maximum damage shot. In accordance to his rifle choice, the Sentinel may also want to consider his pack choices, opting for more energy generation with his [[Tribes: Ascend/Energy Recharge Pack|Energy Recharge Pack]], or going for more team support with the [[Tribes: Ascend/Drop Jammer|Drop Jammer]]. It should be worth noting the charge up time on the BXT1 Rifle; a fully charged shot will do 500 damage, and it takes 3 seconds to fully charge a shot. The Phase Rifle, on the other hand, does 510 damage scoped or not, but it requires 90 energy. If you choose the Phase Rifle, it is recommended to take the Energy Regeneration Pack.[[File:SentinelBundle.jpg|thumb|300px]]

In order to give [[Tribes: Ascend/Capper|cappers]] a bigger time frame before they get shot by Sentinels again, killing a Sentinel adds five additional seconds to his respawn timer, regardless of him switching to another class while dead or not. Therefore, in order to give the team capper enough leeway to escape without damage, killing the Sentinel in conjunction with the capper grabbing the flag is usually essential.

== Tactics==
=== Recommended [[Tribes: Ascend/Perks|Perks]]===
Perk Slot 1

*'''''[[Tribes: Ascend/Perks#Bounty Hunter|Bounty Hunter]]''''' is ideal for you in just about every way, considering Sentinels have the most reliable way to kill people in the game. With an extra 200 credits per kill, you can get ammo supply drops in record time and keep the enemy flag clean with tactical strikes.

*'''''[[Tribes: Ascend/Perks#Looter |Looter ]]'''''is another option if you want to be able to be all over the map, instead of staking out in one place. Problem is, once you kill someone, you actually have to get over there to pick up their ammo drop. Fortunately with looter you'll only need to do this once before you're basically back to full.

*'''''[[Tribes: Ascend/Perks#Safety Third|Safety Third]]''''' makes your claymores deadly and numerous. If you often get hunted down, this will help you cover your exits. Also fantastic with the Motion Mines; additional death to cappers is always good.
*'''''[[Tribes: Ascend/Perks#CloseCombat|Close Combat]] '''''is a useful passive ability if you tend to camp out in one particular area, where enemy light units, particularly Infiltrators, will target you. Normally, single hit from an enemy melee will kill you instantly, and spending long periods of time scoped in makes you more vulnerable to being flanked in this fashion. Having this melee resistance will allow you to either make a successful escape, or repel your attacker.
*'''''[[Tribes: Ascend/Perks#Rage|Rage]] '''''is a decent choice for capper-killers, as it instantly refills your energy with the Phase rifle/SAP20, allowing you to get one full-charge shot off without having to wait.

Perk Slot 2
*Both the '''''[[Tribes: Ascend/Perks#Ultra Capacitor 2|Ultra Capacitors]]''''' in general gives you a bit more maneuverability, also gives you extra damage on the Phase Rifle/SAP20. There really aren't any "essential" things in Slot 2, though.
*'''''[[Tribes: Ascend/Perks#Survivalist|Survivalist]]''''' gets an honorable mention since it will allow you to get away from the ammo drop faster. The health gain is not substantial enough to make a difference though.
*'''''[[Tribes: Ascend/Perks#Quick Draw|Quick Draw]] '''''is also an honorable mention since it will allow you to quickly respond to attackers such as backstabbing Infiltrators. It also allows you to place Claymores much more quickly, allowing to return to your camping spot ASAP.
