Suggestions
I actually wanted to make one of this some time ago, but didn't get around doing it. I'll throw in some of the skills I have designed and you can use them if you wish (and if you can make them?)


Knee Shot - Fires a single shot that reduces target's mobility by up to 8, depending on damage dealt. Cooldown: 3. Does not end turn.

Focus - Requires one action. Increase the aim of your next shot by 20, and your damage by 2.

Tempo - Every shot fired this turn increases your aim and dodge by 5%. (Includes free actions)

Head Shot - Fires a single shot with bonus crit chance, but reduced aim. The critical damage is doubled for the shot. Cooldown: 2. Does not end the turn.

Ammo Mastery - Once per turn, if you run out of ammo, you can reload. If you can launch an reaction fire, but has no ammo, you will sacrifice the chance to reload. Your overwatch action is not removed by the reload.

Stun Shot - Fires a single shot with double crit chance. If the hit crits, the enemy is stunned. Cooldown: 3. Does not end the turn.

Clutch Shot - Fires a shot that cannot miss. You gain 3x crit chance and 2x crit damage for the shot. Cooldown: 6. Ends turn.

Armor Breaker - Fires a shot that shreds 4 armor. Cooldown: 3. Ends the turn.

Reaction Mastery - Reduces reaction shot penalty from 30/40 to 10/20.

Bullet Rain - Fires 8 shots at an enemy. If the enemy is not dead, the user can fire another 8 shots for a 1 turn stun (Not removable). Cooldown: 4. (After every shot, if the enemy is not dead, gives one free action that can only be used to cast Bullet Rain or End Turn. If End Turn if chosen, or if the enemy dies, the unit is stunned)
(This skill was actually designed as a MSGT ability with a dual pistol user in mind)

Blazing Bullet - Fires a shot that burns a single target if it hits. Cooldown: 4. Does not end the turn.

Freezing Bullet - Fires a shot that freezes the target if it hits. Cooldown: 3. Does not end the turn.

Thx for the input, defenetly some interesting things there although i think that the last to should be on special ammo.

The plan was for a limited use ability. Maybe about ~3 uses per battle for free, and maybe more depending on the items you bring. (It's more of a "Load the special ammo and shoot it" type than "Change all your ammo into something", which is more logical imo)

Trick Shot - Special Shot that reduces target cover by one step (Full Cover to Partial, Partial to None). The idea is that the bullet ricochets around cover to strike the target.

Extra Conditioning might also be a nice thing to have, but then again Gunslingers aren't as dependent on RnG (not RNG) as Assaults are.

I think "Hitman" is more suitable a name than "Sentinel", considering the perks.

I do get the impression that the Sentinel tree should either be a stealth/assassin build (aka "Hitman") like the Saboteur (Shinobi), or leverage the fact that Holotargeter doesn't break concealment and be a stealth/support build (aka "Spy").

Swapping out Covert for Phantom might also be a good idea, since first tier perks are pretty role-defining.

Speaking of which, I wonder if the Silent Takedown skill from mods can be made a Sentinel perk?

Overall, I really like the Pistol/Holotargeter concept. When I run with Sharpshooters I almost never use the Holotargeter, since I lose out on so much damage output. But the Gunslinger's lower damage output makes using the holotargeter a viable choice.

I also think Gunslinger as a tier 1 perk is not good. Essentially, it's a much weaker version of Light 'em Up (Ranger), as pistols do not have the range, accuracy or DPS of rifles. I recommend removing Gunslinger entirely and replacing it with something on par with the other Tier 1 perks.

Center Mass is a solid choice. Hit and Run is also good. Lightning Relexes is also attractive, but there may be a bug if players can pick both LN and Shadowstep.
