Just curious what early parses and theorycrafting is showing for max theoretical DPS and stat weights. Sorry if this is posted somewhere already and I missed it. Thanks a ton guys.

Hello all. DPS (prefer melee (jugg, marauder, sentinel, but have ranged, slinger, sniper) looking for a Republic (but if necessary can play Sith) progression guild in preparation for upcoming expansion. I am a pre-launch player, and am coming back ready to experience the hardcore raiding scene in SWTOR. My progression experience is mostly in WoW (since wrath) and consists of multiple roles, raids, and difficulty levels. I am a min/maxer and do my best to know everything about the classes that I play, which includes a lot of research, parsing, and doing the little things to be great That includes raid research and excellent mechanics, knowing the progression fights inside and out. With BiS, you can expect my DPs to be close to the best in game. Looking forward to everyone's replies.

You are correct, pretty much exactly what I asked in your last line of that post. +1 for redundancy

My understanding was to use Sabo Charge only after activating BV, because of the high energy need and increased regen from BV. And are you saying dont use flyby after the opener?

Im confused.... you're complaining that a dot based spec, which watchmen has been from day 1, has better dot damage now? Kinda grabbing at straws there. Also, even if what you say is true about Merciless Slash.... it still changes nothing. Not the rotations, not the purpose of the spec...literally nothing.

Hello all. I'm familiar why each spec and what dummy parses come out on top. However, I've been gone a long time and currently have no experience in the current raid content. How are the specs shaping up in a realistic environment (not dummy dps) when movement, raid mechanics, etc. come into play? Thanks in advance.

I'm well versed on both marauder specs, anni and carnage, for PvE. I played anni exclusively until RotHC, and have leveled as Carnage. My only question is, is anni a better spec to start out with at 55 before you get specific stats, or is carnage still top DPS, even for an undergeared 55?

Just to preface, jugg really doesn't need another ability. But a great idea just came to me, and im sorry if it has been mentioned before in the past. Juggs could always use a pull, so: Force Pull: The juggernaut throws his lightsaber, impaling a target's torso. The jugg uses the force to retrieve the lightsaber, and the impaled target follows with it. Sorry if this has been an idea before, but it would be awesome!!

So i may have had a little to drink and quoted the wrong person. My b yo, my b. EDIT: Haha, this post kinda made my day. Wake up hungover and feeling like an ***, good stuff.

3 year old trolls huh? I was just calling you out on what you said that was wrong. If thats something you cant accept, then thats ok. Thats your choice. Just know that there are many sents that dominate in all aspects, and arent complaining about what they "dont" have. Every class cant have everything in the game. If that was the case, there would be no classes. There would be a singular avatar to play, and all would play the same. Ill say it again, based on the things you want, you need to play a guardian. All classes have their pros and cons. The rest of us weigh the pros and cons, and based on what we find important in the game, we choose a class. Maybe you should do the same. Or at least play something you like, and stick with it through and through. Keep in mind, that the "worst" classes as percieved by the majority of an mmo population, can still dominate, given the right player. EDIT: And no player worth his salt plays combat? Once again, speaking with not much knowledge of the class. Combat is a viable option, and chosen by many players because of its ability to perform in pve and pvp.

Correct. But if you think that makes up for the other slowing abilities that sentinels have, then i dont know what to tell you. And if you think that the AOE slow really is that game changing for guardians, i also, dont know what to tell you.

This entire post to just made my day. This is a result of not understanding ones class, and certainly not understanding the guardian class. 1. You dont need a push. Youve got slows and roots. The guardian has a push because it has none of these. the push, plus the reset on force leap after use, targets this issue. Sentinels have a much easier time staying on target with the slows, roots, not too mention lowered cd on force leap (if watchmen specced.) 2. Get rid of dispatch? Are you *********** kidding? Get rid of an execute, that hits like a truck, and is great for finishing off enemies? The reason guardians have an extra throw is because mainly because of focus generation. Yes it adds 3 focus, but guardians also dont have Zealous Strike. Their 6 focus generator is on a 1 min CD. And honestly, do you really think it makes that big of a difference? it doesnt. You use it once at the beginning of a fight in pve (in an ideal situation) and just randomly when you want to slap something in pvp from a distance. 3. Just not anything gamebreaking. Master strike shouldnt be used that often, except when abilities are on CD, and then only for first 2 strikes (except combat of course.) Force Statis is also nothing special. Situational, at best, and even if on a 20 second CD, it would be a waste of 3 seconds trying to stun a target, instead of slowing it and dpsing it down. Zealous strike's CD is lowered, in the combat tree. Learn your class man. Lots of focus generation in combat, if you knew the spec. Also, is sounds like you want the sentinel to play like a guardian. There is a better option......play a guardian. It has everything you apparently want. So instead of petitioning for the devs to make sentinels exactly like guardians, do what the rest of us what do and roll a guardian.

I know this is a repost so I apologize. Is she a smuggler or commando heals ? Shes wearing aim armor but comes with a cunning pistol. Thanks in advance.

The bad in this thread is astounding.......

Oh my god ****. Sssssoooo tired of unwarranted claims of dps numbers. Guess what???? We don't have meters!!! You have no idea who is doin what dps.
