    To all noobs with sentry 4x setbonus.

    Like my title said. If u run 4x sentry and think thats the ultimate setup for pvp u are sadly mistaken.

    U can run a few pieces of striker and a few pieces of sentry and this will give u 30% headshot damage and 50% crit damage since u get bonuses from both sets.

    45% damage from headshot sentry bonus is not as good as 50% crit damage.

    So sad that noobs dont get this....

    Tell me that when I do 93K damage to your head against 65% armor cap... Sentry adds 30% to your overall headshot damage therefor my M1A is at 468% headshot damage, added to my sentry talent bonus, and lets not forget that I have 165% critical hit damage and proficient on my M1A... Please, Striker isn't horrible, but Sentry's Call is where's it's at.

    It depends on your play style and what weapon you use. If you're using an smg or assualt rifle then maybe Striker would suit you best. However, if you are accurate and especially if you use any marksmen rifle then you're shooting yourself in the foot by not using Sentry's Call.

    You seem to be forgetting that there is an initial 30 percent head shot damage plus an additional 45 percent damage that apply to the whole team.

    That's 75 percent more damage on headshot and if all teammate shoot the same target an additional 210 percent total.

    Your 50 percent crit damage is nothing compared to this.

    You know what's up. I have hit for upwards of 120k wirh my m1a.

    Striker is great paired with another sentry player. Once marked that striker can do some real damage and that's cool but for 1v1 or 1 v anything sentry is where it's at for sure.

    4 sentry set pieces plus 2 striker pieces for me is fine. I run balanced stats and hit 190k-265k headshots with my vector, 800k-1.5m head shots with my M1A for PVE. In pvp i can kill almost any player in a few shots with my vector

    you do realize the 4 piece sentry increases all damage dealt to the target not just headshots by 45%, just takes 3 headshots to apply which is about 0.24s of firing a aug/vector with an RoF mag on it to apply all 3 stacks. after that you have a flat 45% dmg increase against that target for 10s. that far outshines a 50% increase to crit hit dmg from 3 piece striker.

    Edit: replied before reading the rest of the replies, general consensus is that OP is an idiot that doesn't know what he is talking about haha.
