Overview

Usage
-
Gain health when in shroud from
不洁庇护, gain life force when not in shroud from 
无尽生命, siphon health on attacks from 
吸血出击 and 
吸血光环, siphon health and gain life force in combat from 
吸血纹章 and 
不死纹章 respectively, gain health when not in shroud from 
芒果馅饼. -
Also focuses on dedicated attacks for rebuilding health and life force with
生命虹吸, 
恐怖之爪, and 
灵魂抓攫, and since health is generated on hit 
迅捷蝗群 with so many hits is effective too. -
Lots of boon rip with
黑暗契约, 
噬灵盛宴, 
刺骨恶寒, and 
蝗虫纹章. Interrupting npc enemy heals is easiest with 
末日哀嚎, can also use 
厄运降临, an unreliably long windup for the charge of 
召唤血肉魔像 makes it hard as a reaction, and although it can be used pre-emptively it's more useful as a huge defiance bar break. -
生命转移 with 
鲜血输送 plus the improved reviving of 
生命仪式 makes saving teammates a snap, throw in 不死纹章 active for dire situations. -
暗影疾速 and even one use of 迅捷蝗群 makes for effectively perma swiftness. Red borderlands especially are annoying due to big drops on some paths putting character in combat, which activates the siphon health and can put the character in longer combat by ticking yellow monsters. -
威力法池 is the only stun break. Shroud cleanses conditions too and conditions rarely trouble the healing anyway, but stun lock builds are dangerous. -
F2P cannot craft Sentinel gear without Guild Commendations, and cannot buy them or the needed components from AH, but WvW PvP and fractals all offer easy access to customizable gear that can choose Sentinel, and the build functions well in PvP and fractals too. Soldier gear is easier to get and a reasonable substitute while gearing. As of September 2023 there are no good relics for the build, Fireworks is at least graphically festive without being graphically obnoxious.
