It is arguably the worst path of any subclass and with the addition of Well of Radiance it seems even more worthless. In D1 you'd need two Titans to achieve the same affect as that super, so I have a solution. Make it to where you can shoot through the bubble and it gives a slight damage boost not as much as Well, but close enough. Well should offer more damage and bubble should offer more survivability.
This leaves the new commander path as useless, but just giving that a massive damage buff would justify using it over the new Ward of Dawn. (Even in it's current state it is worthless, since you do more damage by shooting) As it stands two thirds of Sentinel subclass are "useless" (very gimmicky) in PvE when they should be the strongest for the Titan. Either one of those would work, but both would be preferable.

As a Titan main since D1 I say: NO! [quote][b]Excuse me, WHYYYYYY? [/b] ~ JonTron[/quote] That's easy Jonnyboy, because the most people don't know how to play the bubble properly. A sentinel bubble is in basic gameplay not for buffing your team like in D1 (this role has the Warlock now). The bubble is, how I call it, THE BACKUP PLAN. See, there will be the situation at some point where the enemies will kill you. Maybe with AoE, maybe as an Invader in Gambit. But nope, you pull out this shiny violet glowing bubble and it will save you and possibly your teammates. The only thing the bubble is designed for is TO HOLD A POSITION FOR A LONGER TIME. In control the bubble can help to capture point B (or any other zone under fire) while providing protection inside of it. With the Saint Helmet you can also engage your enemies with Blessing of light. In PvE the bubble can help for example, to block massive amounts of damage and thrown debuffs. Maybe while you are reviving a teammate in a nightfall. To list up the advantages: - Can provide very good protection. - Can allow to hold a tactical position in combat. - Can grant overshield due exotics. - Can't be destroyed easily. Since you are comparing Well of Radiance with Bubble, I will do it too. Pro's: - Provides rapidly fast heal and overshield charge. - Provides damage buff - Can reload weapons due exotics Cons: - No burst damage protection ( A rocket in pvp will probably kill you or destroy the sword in the ground) - No damage block - Lower duration than bubble - No possibility to grant overshields on range due exotics - No possibility to blind enemies in it due exotics - The sword is destroyable and has only crit hitboxes
