=Thoughts on {{PAGENAME}}=
==={{PAGENAME}} in a nutshell===
The Sentinel is a cheap and tough shield guard with some anti-infantry shooting. You take it for shield guard and get some work out of it because it's a warjack.

Because of its variable shots and output it’s quite difficult to work out how much focus to give it, 1 is always the safe bet as with power up it can then boost both attack and damage rolls if it rolls poorly on ROF. Alternatively a jack marshal or junior warcaster can get a lot of mileage and personal protection from a Sentinel.

===Combos & Synergies===
* Any jack marshal. There's no reason giving it extra focus is worthwhile - and both Drives and adding a bonus to hit with all its shots works.
* Like almost all of the casters, [[Caine%27s_Hellslingers|Caine3]] needs a Shield guard - and why not one which can profit from Calamity and his feat? All of a sudden, your shots' strength are on par with a Defender's cannon.
* The [[Journeyman Warcaster]]. Need [[Arcane Shield]]? Don't want to splash out on a fancy warjack for them? Do you want to keep your Journeyman '''really''' safe behind the lines? Let the work experience guy/gal polish their hand cannon while the Sentinel keeps your warcaster safe from guns.
* [[Sloan]] although she doesn’t have the focus to load up the sentinel she does need protection and loves guns.
* [[Kraye]] doesn't mind one hanging around (often on a Journeyman Warcaster) as his large base makes him that bit harder to hide.

===Drawbacks & Downsides===
* It has one of the worst melee games of any non-[[Rhulic]] warjack. It's ranged game isn't much better either; its RAT is average, its POW and RNG are terrible, and nobody likes rolling a d3 for ROF.
* Both the [[Battle Priest]]s and the [[Trench Buster]] are cheaper shield guards and the meta calls for mass over class in Shield Guards.
* With random number of shots, it's already bad damage potential can be even worse than expected. Don't expect it to hold off too much infantry on its own.

===Tricks & Tips===
* Remember it can slam. And is better slamming than in normal melee.
