Who you callin' four eyes? [Batarian Sentinel Build]

Hey. I'm the Batarian Sentinel. Remember me, from way back in Resurgence? Yeah. I've been sitting on your roster for months waiting for you to pick me up. Now, I may not be the best-looking character in the game, I'll fight anyone who says I'm not the toughest. Sure, you've got the Dead Space Murdertrain and the Captain America Paladin, but who wants to argue with my Enforcement Gauntlets? Hm?

First things first, make me look good. You have to compensate for my four eyes somehow. I'm a big fan of all black. And for Pete's sake, don't name me "Captain Falcon."

I've got some pretty sick powers too. Bet you didn't know that I can take down a Phantom in less than 5 seconds.

Fitness: Go Durability, Martial Artist, Fitness Expert. Congratulations. Now I can crank out 75% more melee after a heavy melee. I also have almost 1500 shields and health, enough to tank like a Krogan.

Batarian Enforcer: All the way, baby. Damage and Capacity/Power Damage/Damage and Ammo. Most people forget I have that extra mag stashed away somewhere (I'm not telling where I put it). Usually ends badly for them.

Now comes the fun part, the abilities.

Blade Armor: Not that I'm going to be using the return melee feature, no one is going to make it that close to me. Hit Melee Damage/Recharge Guess what? I'm now taking 35% percent less damage. Turn this on at the beginning and don't turn it off.

Submission Net: You're gonna want to use this a lot. Bet you didn't know this is effective against armor, did you? Spec it Damage/Damage and Slow/Shield and Barrier. Armored Targets now move 30% slower. Great for those pesky Dragoons. Submission Net also works like a trap. You know how those stupid Phantoms take cover a lot? Shoot it next to their cover, and watch them get caught as soon as they step out. Then unload into them. They're gone within a few seconds, thanks to the Shield and Barrier evolution.

Shockwave: It's my panic button. See two pyros, you smash that shockwave and get out of there. Nothing good comes of those guys. Save them for SubNet. Also, to detonate any explosions from the various ammo types, you hit Shockwave, you hear me?

Moving onto weapons. I'm a big dude, I carry two. The N7 boys make fun of how mainstream the Cerberus Harrier is, but with the extra ammo that I can pack, it's real nice. In addition, slap on an M-11 Wraith just in case you run dry. Don't forget ammo bonuses!

Now, you're gonna ask, how do you use this class? I'm best described as a wall. I can stop or slow down ANYTHING with my SubNet, stop mooks with my cryo ammo, and stagger most things with my melee. Phantoms become the easiest boss-type to kill. Watch how they melt. Almost brings a tear to my eyes. Shoot your SubNet at Brutes and watch how their armor collapses under your Cryo Ammo/Net combo...beautiful.

If this doesn't convince you, check out these numbers: Heavy Melee: 2175 damage vs armor+40% increase from blade armor+75% more if 10 sec after heavy melee= 5328.75 melee damage. That falls just short of one-shotting a Ravager on Silver. Mind you, this is against armor, and there's a damage reduction penalty on that.

Just don't name me Four Eyes.

Edit: Puny humans advised the use of Shockwave. Despite not having enough shields, this human had a good idea. Added Shockwave to the powers. Edit 2: Was advised that I was not added in Rebellion. Interesting.
