Can someone explain the advantage this has over Guardian?

I mean, if I could put Dig and Protect on the same Kubrow, maybe. But right now I just fail to see the advantage of this over Guardian. I know Guardian has a longer cooldown, but it's also a FULL restore of your shields, meaning your shields have to drop TWICE in less than 30 seconds for the cooldown to even come into play. If that's a problem for you, either your own modding or your own playstyle is to blame.

So I just don't get it. Unless or until they rewrite Kubrows so I can put Dig and Protect on the same Kubrow, they have no advantage over a Sentinel, and the inferiority of this mod just proves it.

(And before everyone mentions it, yes, I am well aware that Sentinels die easily in T4-anything.  On the other hand, if you aren't using something like Frost/Mesa/etc tactics and killing everything with powers long before they touch your Sentinel, then once again, it's your playstyle that's broken.  Sentinels don't NEED to have 4k health because you should be killing enemies before they can get a chance to take your Sentinel out anyway.)
