I used her all the way through ...well till u had to use T7 at the end (necessary spoiler,gear him) ... And mobs n' other players dropped fast if the both of us focused 'em down

sometimes i apply both, especially if its a Marauder or an Assassin, slowing them down helps u take them down

since my IRL friends and CoD clan got jealous of this game i had to take a bit of a hiatus so thats why i havent updated my Sentinel Journal in a good minute haha ! So as before this isn't a QQ thread, nor a thread to demand my class become the next OP-FOTM, this thread was meant to share my experiences, tips on killin' mobs and offer 'suggestions' to areas we 'could' use an 'adjustment' too. when i finally hit lvl 50 (a month and half after release, hey im as casual as they get) i noticed that things did indeed get tougher, although still completely manageable. Usually being a lvl or two above the mobs i was killing definitely made me feel like the Terminator plowing through a group of Oompa Loompas, although if there were more than one strong or an elite in the group then i'd definitely suffer a few good gashes haha! But now that the mobs are the same lvl as i, things have scaled in difficulty more, but, if i keep an eye on my cd's and use my abilities wisely i can still cut them down and leave a bloody mess. One thing to never do is underestimate the stopping power of trash mobs, just cuz a few swipes of ur glow stick can take them down, don't mean they hit like a b*tch! If theres 2 trashies and 1 strong/elite, i send Kira after one trashy and i kill the other, afterwards i just focus bomb the strong/elite then done. If however theres more than two trashies and/or strongs then things get tricky, but very doable. I send Kira to attack one of the trashies, then i leap to another, hit Zealous strike, Force sweep, then use either Pommel Strike or Oppurtune Strike, then finish ... the next dude u hit with Blade Storm then again use either PS or OS, finish him (pun intended) then kill the Strong/Elite, and yes ur defensive CD's will definitely be used! When facing two Strongs or Elites i start off with using Awe, then me and Kira just Focus bomb one of them, then proceed to the other, two strongs WILL go down, two elites r gonna put u to the test! my lvl 50 WZ experience has been a bit rocky i must say, facing down others who r all decked out in champ/BM gear will definitely tear u apart if u happen to be less than better than them! i only have two pieces of Champ gear, a relic and implant (yay me ) and on more than one occasion I have been beaten down by other Sents/Maras who had the gear advantage! since the lvl 50's have been put into their own tier u no longer have the ability to kill lowbies and rack up kills, cuz lets face it the scaling dont help much if theres a substantial difference in lvl between u and the guy who's putting ur head in the toilet! So now that a majority of my opponents have all kindsa crazy gear it definitely has become much more difficult... but not impossible, so dont start tearing up haha! Now onto class ‘adjustments’ ~Now I have been seeing some complaints about our Merciless Slash, which I too agree that in comparison to the endline abilities of other class trees is rather lack luster! -Merc Slash as it is is 'ok', it gives us burst and reduces it CD but i think it should also accommodate our DOTs since thats what the Watchman spec is all about. Merc Slash could have the ability to reset whatever DOTs have been placed on ur opponent, this is something that would be beneficial w/o going overboard. ~The CC issue has been ongoing for quite some time and it really is the only thing that keeps my Sentinel/Marauder bruthas and sistas down! -Force Leap/Charge should have a CC/knockback defense for 3 seconds or so. -Rebuke and Saber Ward could be given something like a 40% chance to resist CC's and knockback -or perhaps make our Stances have a passive CC defense: Ataru Form- x% chance to maneuver through a knockback; Juyo Form- x% chance to power through Stuns/kites; Shii-Cho Form- x% to resist stuns/kites/knockbacks (obviously lower than the other two forms) alright everybody please /sign if u agree with my 'suggestion's haha. peace

The second saber is a stat booster stick so yea there is some inherent gimping there

I'm lightside and I still obtained a red lightsaber from comm vendor on Belsavis

that's cuz every side is ur good side when you've had a lil liquid relaxation LoL

like most of my picz I was buzzed when I took this haha http://m.facebook.com/home.php#!/photo.php?fbid=201439939893359&id=100000820642837&set=a.144353122268708.22490.100000820642837&__user=100000820642837

compared to many other AC's our endline ability on Watchman is a bit lackluster, however if it did something as simple as re-setting the DOTs placed on the enemy that would make it fine

heres where the real issue lays, because we are in fact THE hardest class to play, over 80% of the people playing a Sent suck (and i think im being generous when i say only 80%) and this is the stigma that rest of us have been branded with! i myself have been denied on several occassions, but those who've grouped with me before have always hit me back up. so dont give up bro, BW will give us the love we need, but im hoping not too much cuz then we'll just end up getting nerfed into submission!

trolls the NPC's maybe haha?

i live like 10 min from there in good ol' Santa Ana all business over here then?

ok so for an update after the last patch here is my experience on PvP killing fields, in other words Warzone: The 'ability lag' although not completely fixed, has actually gotten tremendously better! My instant abilities still don't fire off right away, but at least it doesn't take 10 button presses and a 5 second lag to execute anymore! Keep up the good work. In addition, because my WZ PvP was so terrible I avoided it for almost 10 lvl's! But last night I was topping damage charts, and once was even on top! Heck even those pesky Assassins were even beatable, something that for 'me' anyway, wasn't possible. CC is still our worst enemy, and being stunlocked for a good duration of ur fight is still prevalent, but hey, this goes to show u that were VERY capable fighters and should be feared, peace

one thing that would be beneficial would be to implement the ability to scale down to an ally's lvl incase either A) u want to do the lower lvl quests still in ur quest log or B) a lower lvl'ed person cant seem to find someone else (and wont have to suffer XP penalty for grouping with someone of a higher lvl).

as far as killing power goes, we've got plenty of that, however, our extremely weak defense against CC makes us feel VERY underpowered!

/signed (usual scenario) close gap, knocked back, rooted/stuned, snap out of it, close gap rinse and repeat

i dont mind the challenge and hope to get to the Emporer before he undergoes another nerf, so i can say i beat him when he was still tough

BUMP BW please give us some CC/knockback defense, i cant tell u how frustrating it is to be knocked back, CC'd, close gap, rinse and repeat. applying a defense to our moves such as Rebuke or Saber Ward(should be both) or possibly to saber forms that would reduce the chance of us being affected would greatly be appreciated Thanks for listening. peace

keep ur head up bro, besides do u really wanna raid with ppl who dont know what were capable of?

yea pretty much LoL

I too am a Juyo Form User and prefer +crit over +power for the reason u've stated and because crits on DOTs show the great burst potential of the Watchman Tree... My 3 cents

since this is my Sentinel Journal I try to keep this updated frequently not only for myself but for those interested in stuff besides 'theorycrafting'. Now this bit of info is for the JK New Jacks out there, this applies to all, AND is a 'slight' spoiler. When ALL JK's hit lvl 40 put 'some' effort into gearing T7 as I'm hearing that the final story quest will require him. Just a heads up

looks A LOT better than that gold crap at lvl 50!

I use it for PvE, PvP I never bother with it, which sucks cuz that IS our nuke

as stated in one of my threads, its 'defense' against stuns, roots, snares and CC's that we desperately need!

a Jedi/ninja look is more appropriate for a Sentinel IMO, not a member of Liberachi's Samurai Gaurd
