Dondagora 832 Share Posted September 1, 2015 Based on the recent announcement video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VsWcAjQ2pow&feature=youtu.be), it seems Sentinel will not have bow but rather have axe, which is just speculation of course, and the footage was from quite a while ago. However wanted to put it out there that it is a possibility and that it does not necessarily mean melee, since throwing-axes are a thing. It also seems like that all of the Knight's promotions seem to keep his shield. Thought this was relevant and felt a discussion was needed.

Dakyn 206 Share Posted September 2, 2015 The axe may be the Primary weapon of choice. I also noticed that the Knight has been stealth nerfed already in that it looks now that they cannot dual wield swords. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noc. 809 Share Posted September 2, 2015 I think throwing weapons would be a nice change of pace. Give a sort of mid-close range effect. Curious to see the explanation of how the Sentinel would have so many throwing axes equipped at a time (assuming the whole fight they are just chucking the things) But I'd like to see that. Opens the door for other throwing/projectile weapons as well in the physics game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jihan 5,468 Share Posted September 2, 2015 "Nerf" is a silly thing to say about a design change this early in the development process. Getting rid of dual wielding (and/or the bow) may have been a consequence of the decision that promotions would not change an archetype's core role. That isn't a nerf, it's just fleshing out the design philosophy.

Dakyn 206 Share Posted September 2, 2015 I was mainly teasing. But they did alter the artwork on this site that showed the Knight dual wielding swords while fighting a Champion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mankong 22 Share Posted November 25, 2016 I think he uses a crossbow and an axe w/ shield. I think he would be like the ranger in that regard. Sunderin' is my specialty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
