Wow guys! I hated the changes you made in the latest patch i thought you had it right the patch before BUT THIS! This is the best of both worlds! we have a choice! good job and good idea keep up the good work

Ding is old school the new way to say you have leveled is................*drum rolls*.................WOOTINI! <3

good luck! the set pieces are blues and not oranges anyway for certain parts so you will out level their usefulness pretty quick

you do not get them very often - i normally upgrade her with any greens i pick up and some blues. Fights do start to last longer when your levels increase, it may be a dps thing because on my sentinel ALL fights are close even with a blasted healer. Try upgrading makos armour from the GTN may help - if all else fails respec shieldtech, i love the spec coz i never have down time

Also i have always picked upgrades for mako instead of the commendations if they are available. Normally i get around 24comms at the end of the planet which is more than enough to buy the main pieces

My Bounty Hunter is speced shieldtech and i have no problems since level 10. I havn't felt gimped at all. I kill mobs slower than most people but my survivability is through the roof! The only time I have any down time is after 4man herioc mobs. Standard mobs im close to full health all the time with mako healing. I havnt tried the dps spex so am unsure if they would be any good but shieldtech <3

Okay so i have played my Sentinel since release and can say I LOVE the class. At first i thought the class was broken like you guys and had a hard time but now (lvl 44) i feel epic! Once I released button bashing wasn't going to work and actually thought about what i was doing everything became a lot more fun and easier. Now I hardly have any down time (using doc) i use kira or Rusk if i just wanna nuke stuff but prefer doc because i dont have any time between fights. Its all about knowing ALL your moves. I tend to build a lot of focus and then nuke them with all my dmg moves. If ever i get to low health i use force camo and carrying on dmging whilst receiving no dmg and getting healed with doc or using kira as a tank. IF you can play the class how its supposed to be played you WILL feel epic. There are some problems in PvP i have found but PvE = no problems.
