Destroyer Or Sentinel?

edited May 2015 in The Militia Barracks
I'm levelling a GWF specifically for PvP and I would like to know which one is the better choice. I like tanking and taking damage but I want to be able to kill things. The destroyer looks tempting but I don't wanna be squishy, which one is recommended? Also which armor enchant should I use and what stats should I go for, I'm using a lesser plaguefire also at the moment so I sont have to worry about the armor pen stat.

    sadly destroyer is very squishy indeed. remember as GWF you dont have dodges, etc so you are an easy target and specially pugging, people will jump to attack you rather trying to find a rogue going dodging and stealth. so I would stay with the survivality.

    some feats on sentinel gives you good sinergy to do some extra dps, you can kill anything but strong DCs, or some chars being healed by these DCs.

    i go sentinel with mine, not only does it give you nice survivability, but it also buffs your aoe attacks nicely. also make sure you pick sword master for the steel defense class feature. +5 sec invincibility after daily attack

    Thanks for the feedback, I think I will try out the intimidation sentinel with full grim sentinel build. Does anyone know the power level for intimidation to be effective? I will be using not so fast, indomitable battle strike and front line surge.

    If you're looking for the long term build, go Destroyer. Sentinel will be nerfed to the ground in mod 6. So hard that no-one uses it at all. While Destroyer is the new meta of mod 6. In both PvP and PvE.

    mod 6 is still far away for xbox, and even mod 5 is different on xbox than pc so its not guaranteed itll be nurfed

    I have gone with IV for that reason. In my past experience Swordmaster can be kited very easily and I found it hard to catch up. IV's mark bonus looks very good also. However I still don't know which armor to use as a sentinel to get a good power rating. Grim sentinel looks good but I want decent power, will I have to wait for Black Ice sets?

    at the moment I am using sentinel grim and I got 4k power. it is decent for pvp in damage.
    of course i will try work in adding more but hard. If you want some DPS but dont want to eliminate all your survivality heroic duelist is a great choice over destroyer or instigator grim.
    decent dps, and the healing bonus makes up for the lack of defense/deflect a little bit. Of course, it is behind sentinel grim and you will die sooner, specially against multiple foes.

    guess we have to wait for black ice;(
