Healers can summon 3 pets Why Engineers cant summon 2 offensive sentinels?

Well, healers can summon 3 pets at a time, like 3 skaarjs, 3 mercenaries, 3 brutes or even 2 warlords,, and the instagib stone thrower the Titan with one of this is enough to kill a bunch of monsters >

Engineers can only summon 3 defense sentinels but we cant use 2 lighting sents or 2 sentinels, I guess having 2 offensive sentinels will help us a lot when we are creating bases they will kill any enemy that comes close to our bases, and will act as Protectors of our little base, I know 3 def sents are good for enemy fire but they will not help to reduce the number of monsters attacking our base.

Having not 3 offensive sentinels but only 2 will help us a lot.

What you think?

Oh please no ! those of us that were around when the engineer class first came about will attest to the ability to spawn 2 offensive sents (look up the old posts)

and that is 2 is too many, what ends up happening is that you end up with sentinels in every room, and no engineer to be seen except in between wave to heal them.
with medic monsters the pets try to follow the medic and move around with the medic, but with sentinels they just stay put and tend to hog kills.

Also medics have to spend tons of points to make monsters effective, engineers don't need many points to make sentinels effective. Engineers have many other constructions besides sentinels...medics just get pets.

Monsters even at the highest intelligence level are pretty stupid. When is the last time you saw a sentinel stuck in the fish tank in the breakfast map, or trapped in the pool in anubis, or walk off the edge in megawoot?

Medics burn a ton of adren to spawn these "intelligent" helpers that end up just being extra targets for the monsters to shoot at. We cant tell them to stay in one room hogging all the kills there while we range around killing. We cant tell them to use their teleporter to get around the blocks trapping them in a hallway or "base" room. The rockets they use take their sweet time getting to monsters unlike the offensive sentinel projectiles I have seen.

Engineers can summon like a dozen blocks, a turret, a vehicle and sentinels. Compared to that, medics can summon a maximum of three weak pets and one infinite weapon (which now does not include a link gun so we can't effectively link up engineers in the higher levels).

I would say that there is no disparity favoring medics.

Well looking at your posts, you made my mind clear,and im agree with you, its a bad idea after all.

Sorry for the inconvenience

You can now.
make a keybind and set it to the command stay
I think this is new and don't know how well it works yet.

I thought that was for the Extreme Monsters SubClass only? Does it work for all medics?
