Words cannot express just how out of touch with your game you seem to be. By any statistical standard, taking ranked PvP win rate and using that as a benchmark is just a poor metric. How about, as several have already mentioned, taking into account how many of the top ranked players are actually playing Marauder or Sentinel at a high rating? I'm entirely sure the landscape will cause you to draw an entirely different conclusion. Players are always prone to complain about something. Scissors beats paper, nerf scissors. But I can't comprehend that you're willing to completely disregard the mountain of requests and helpful suggestions that people have spent time coming up with. You really don't understand the meaning of balance do you? GG Bioware.

Might be a bit of a threadjack, but I can't just let this one slide. Not only have I played a Watchmen Sentinel to rank 66 prior to the patch which increased valor gain and also almost complete Rakata, I've since moved to another server and levelled to rank 61 on an Annihilation Marauder. Do not presume that I don't know what I'm doing. Drop the pseudo sense of superiority. As somebody kindly pointed out, that whilst the only real solid increase to our class was that of Master Strike/Ravage, coupled with the changes of expertise, and nerfs to other class, 1.2 has made us overpowered, relative to other classes. Secondly, Undying Rage is not pivitol in our class. It is a nice skill, one I use often, but not one which would break our class on removal. We are not tanks, we get focused, we die. Simple. I'm still shocked that people are saying we don't need a nerf, it's clear as day that we do.

I coincidently played on both servers that the OP did, I can vouch that he certainly knows what he's doing. A damn sight more than most in fact. I was a Sentinel from launch, and more recently a Marauder after a server switch. We are currently over-powered, anybody saying otherwise is either fooling themselves, or is putting up false bravado. Prior to 1.2, we was amongst the strongest PvP class in the right hands. We were good, not unbeatable. We're just outright OP now. The 10% buff we recieved to Ravage/Master Strike needs to go. We can still keep the Rage/Focus trait that allows us buff it's damage, but it needs to be reduced 10%. Undying Rage and Guarded by the Force are similarly too powerful. Adding a -99% healing debuff to go along with it would balance it, whilst it still remains a viable, last ditch effort. Otherwise scrap the skill entirely, make Force Camo a 100% damage reduction (like the trait), but have the damage reduction end if we attack early from stealth. It therefore retains its use as an escape skill, can still be implemented as a gap closer, and stops being an 'I win' button. We probably wouldn't need it often anyway if we weren't seen as OP to the point everyone focuses us down. We all know the nerf is coming, I'd rather they just get it over with now. I just hope they don't nerf the wrong things ala Sage/Sorc.

We had downed the first three bosses on normal mode before the patch came, and since having gone back in afterwards we saw that the boss still had the same health. Also, his shield buff did not appear either, but the damage he took still diminished like it was still stacking up. Is this just us?

I'd heard of how difficult it was and that the puzzle chest was bugged and I also listened to the tips about interrupting casts, LoSing and using Awe when his clones appear. I'd got some gear for T7 on Corellia, but he was still miles off what he could/should have been had I kept him up to date. The first attempt I made went pretty reasonably, got him down to about 40% before dying. The next few attempts went worse and I was losing hope of being able to solo it, until the fifth attempt where I entered his room to find that he had bugged, didn't have the 34k or so health but instead had about 800. He died from the damage of my Force Leap. Extremely anti-climactic yes; but I'm at least glad I didn't have to ask a guild mate to help out, which would have ruined the JK storyline for them if they rolled an alt in the future.
