I have both Warden and Sentinel. The day i crafted ''Frostfang'' never played with my Warden again. I can't remember how many times i saved the shieldwall by killing a bot who slip trough or saving the minmax ranged players by killing assassins/tricksters.. Of course Warden is much better for shooting but as long as you headshot you won't feel the difference. The only thing i've noticed is the Stag Bow feels slow on Sentinel.
I can attest to this. Once I started getting into the sentinel locked swords, I've played less and less on my warden.
Still, Sentinel is a perfect class my kiting, and can hold it's own in melee. Warden is fantastic for events where you have quality shields and don't expect to go into melee - fire faster, hit harder per shot, kill more. But wormbane won't exactly protect you from a Jotne

I would hope the team helps aswell in killing a Jotne, unless your on normal killing low armor bots, A head shot is faster most of the time anyway.
I do see why people like sentinel but i find them ruing in to battle and not coming back way to often

AB, FE, and EK are all expensive and most players won't own one in the time that this mods is still up for warband lol. Sentinel is a great support class in melee - actually can put enemies down. Super helpful if enemies slip past the shielders. If players are charging out as a sentinel then death is a risk they are willing to take

Also a fair point. While you do have good 1h skill as a sentinel, you don't have really any armor or ironflesh to protect you, so you can take at most 1 extra hit on Rag before you're dead. If you like to run out into the front lines you're most likely gonna get killed off pretty fast, but killing things behind cades is so much easier.

[/quote]Using a 1h in kiting dose that mean you hit a wall? Maybe if there 1 to 3 guys but i would not call that part kiting.
May as well play leg and put 30k armor on and buy cts.
Btw SS bow and bronze arrows are cheep add warden or ranger to that and just some skill in race lines and kiting and you can solo normal and get to wave 16+ in hard.
