This OP looks like an idiot. "Hey guys I beat emp 5 secs flat no joke 0 attempts lawl L2P scrubs" Sentinel is a good class, and it is hard as hell to play. However, there are some issues with our survivibility and flexibility that need to be ironed out. And no, it is not just an "L2P scrubs" issue.

I also noticed a huge increase in my centering building. Was there an issue before that I was not aware of? I figured it was just due to a changed talent spec for me.

Currently a level 50 sentinel (watchman). On my way up in the levels, I found some of the class quests extremely hard. I never had to call in for a buddy, but each fight normally left me with sub 10% health on the class bosses. Also normally needed a few attempts. The final fight I managed to solo with under 5% with no tricks, insanely difficult. I feel as I played my sentinel through EV and some hard modes that I am doing at least 10 more things than anyone else in the group. I rarely even look up from my bars, and honestly could play the game without the graphics. However, I know that a well played sentinel is very high DPS. But playing my guy well shouldn't take key binds with my whole keyboard mapped. In PvP, I watch my trooper friend hit like 3 abilities, out damage me by about 100 k each game. That being said, I normally do about 250k to 300 k damage each BG. But managing to do that much is such a hassle. Monitoring all my CD's is such a pain I already want to re-roll. Not to mention since every ranged class has such good CC, I am lucky if I get to beat on one for any significant amount of time. TLDR: My sentinel is almost to hard to play and have fun at the same time. I feel like I do the most work but get the same rewards as other classes.

It is solo able, it is just a lot harder than your normal quests

As Watchman, I find that I do probably the most single target DPS in my op. The only way you can really gauge this just by how fast you kill things compared to others in multiple groups.
