I'm currently levelling a sentinel, and from the looks of it, melee have a really rough time. So much cc to contend with, would an ability much like the Bounty Hunters 'Hydraulic Overide' Make Combat Sent/Marauders too OP?

Nice necro...

i guess i'll keep my mouth shut about my juggernaught friend who can crit for 6k .........

relics dont break stealth, i use them all the time before my opener. At least not the crit/surge one anyways.

You won't need a stealth bar, you have like 2 stealth only abilities. Sleep Dart and Hidden Strike.

And if 'Jarring Strike' doesnt work, they probably have cc immunity already. Bare in mind, when you use Hidden Strike with it talented, you will fill their immunity bar with your opener.

Not bad, but why take Surgical Strikes and leave out Laceration? With the amount of TA's your pumping out it could be a very nice dps boost for just a 1 point investment. I would personally take out the 2 points from Pin Down and put 1 in Laceration and the other in Medical Therapy. But thats just me YMMV Don't get me wrong Pin Down is nice, but in Warzones they're probably already Resolved to the max.

Lacerate can be trained to get a 50% chance to get a TA back, on a poisoned target...once every 10 seconds...

^^ what he said, for ONE ability?

Don't forget the 50% armour pen

Why not Acid Blade, Hidden Strike, SHIV, Backstab, Lacerate?...your backstabbing with 1 TA (2% damage bonus) as oppossed to a possible 4% from having 2 TA's up, and are also giving your lacerate a 2% bonus too from your remaining 1 TA. Not only that but your getting your next Shiv off of cooldown 1 GC faster for yet another TA and a Lacerate with bonus damage.

you'd think they'd at least give us knives as our weapons so we dont end up rolling on blaster rifles that snipers may like...
