I believe they changed the tooltip. Last night I too noticed the loading screen info on accuracy said reduced defense while I swear the tooltip used to say otherwise. You only need 1 pt in Close Quarters as 5m will do just fine. If you're leaping to anything below 5m you're using Force Leap wrong. Use it to either close the gap or to put some distance between peeps smashing at you.

This is the most stupid thing I've ever heard. If you're a decent sent you'll deal out +200k damage. You don't even have to be lvl 50. Destroy the ball handler or tie up your opponent elsewhere. If that's not contributing then I don't know what contributing is. Also, nobody mentioned Guarded by the Force (99% damage reduction for 5 sec), who together with Transcendence, Force Camouflage (another 100% damage reduction for all Watchmen, not to mention increased movement speed), Saber Ward and Rebuke will help you carry that ball over the line. It has for me on numerous occasions.

I'm surprised you "will have about 100-125k damage while the other can have upwards of 250k damage" as a lvl 50 sentinel when I deal out much more. I don't even got Merciless Slash yet (lacking a point). You even have 4/5 pieces of the T2 PvP gear, I'm just happy I could finally buy the lvl 40 PvP gear. Lvl 24 Focus PvP (yet I could never deal more than 150k with Focus, even when I was lvl 39): http://img835.imageshack.us/img835/2003/screenshot2011122009502.jpg Lvl 40 Watchman PvP (tough fight): http://img843.imageshack.us/img843/4982/screenshot2011122615261.jpg Lvl 41 Watchman PvP (easy fight, Osiris is sentinel lvl 50): http://img141.imageshack.us/img141/4230/screenshot2011122705364.jpg

Nah. What tree did you put your points into? I'll tell you this, I went down the Focus tree (supposed PvP) but was having a hard time during WZ, dunno if I went for the wrong stats etc. I choose Crit as my secondary stat as according to the tooltop STR is supposed to boost all melee and force damage. Yet Power as a secondary stat seemed to boost my damage way more than crit and surge and so on, which made me go huh? I had to work hard in WZ to deal out 150k damage as a lvl 40 Focus sentinel. I'm currently lvl 42 and while I'm still one point away from Merciless Slash, I can now deal out +200k damage with ease and tend to be a top damage dealer during WZ. The number will go up and down, mind you, depending on your opponent and if they're premade, target you etc, but the point is I'm having way more fun as Watchman. At least my STR + Crit build is finally starting to shine due to all those burns (who also heal you). When I went down the Focus path my build was just wrong (or it seemed so) as Power seemed to be a better secondary stat than crit. Point being, the game is brand new, there is plenty to learn, but I'm sure you'll figure it out. But sentinels are NOT broken. Just harder to master/figure out than other classes. Or that's what I'm being told. Yet, it's all pretty noob friendly compared to hardcore MMOs so there really isn't a reason to QQ at all. Give it some time!

If I recall correctly Angral was lvl 33 which I also was when I faced him. It took a couple of tries but in the end he went down, no upgrades or nothing. I do recommend hitting his lvl when you face him though or he can prove to be a pain in the arse.

The other day I was exploring the open world PvP zone in Tatooine with my lvl 40 sentinel and Doc when a bunch of lvl 20 and 30s jumped me. They couldn't even drop my HP bar to 98% lol which was kinda surprising given how a low lvl player can take out a higher player with no problems in WZ (due to the massive boost). They turned on Doc but not before I had finished off all of them. I think they dropped his HP bar to 70%. Point is, having a healer as companion is fun!

New content already, nice! But pls fix the current bugs first (laggy PvP, UI etc).
