I have NEVER noticed an enmity loss whilst using this, in fact i have hit my macro once as my RNG friedn had drawn aggro from using Barrage and the monster just turned around back towards me as i used Sentinel!
So is the enmity lost over time as the ability is up? Because I KNOW from personal experience that the use of Sentinel generates hate (however big or small) and I am just trying to fathom out this trait?
Hmm the only way I can make sense of this is as follows:
when the mob hits you it releases a certain amount of emnity or hate, perhaps with this ability, when Sentinel is active, that hate release is reduced. I am not saying this is true because I'm only a level 48 PLD but it is the only way I can figure this skill to make sense as i also find Sentinel a useful tool for grabbing extra hate.
just was moving around and i heard your problem, i think it stops all your hate loss. another words sentiniel freezes all your hate loss from abilities ect ect. this just makes it last longer.
Was wondering if its really worth lvling it... id like to lvl shield skill more.. but if this ability allows you to keep more hate.. then im all for it.
I got 6 merits now and going on 7 with 2 shield skill ups and chivalry. Not sure weather I should put more into shield. Overall I want to be able to get lots of hate and survive for the time being without depending on a mage as much as we did at low lvls.
