Hm I don't know. I noticed a small improvement only to be honest. When you're trying to hectically chain abilities together it still gets stuck and you feel delay and stuttering. I'd say that this was fixed 20%, not 80%. PS: Blade Storm and Zealous Strike still get cancelled sometimes, defensive cooldowns and Zen don't work instantly all the time either.

Didn't fix it really for me. Delay, stuttering and ability cancellation are all still present when trying to chain skills together. This really didn't do much, you guys probably just haven't noticed yet.

Sorry, but this was not fixed. I may have noticed a small, tiny difference but chaining abilities together on a Sentinel still makes half of them not go off when you press the appropriate ability, a lot of them still stutter and quite a few were cancelled during the animation. Pretty much the same as it was before.

Completely agree with OP. I hope devs can start making something unique, especially Endgame. Gear grind is so 2003.

This does not help at all

Fights before Doc usually ended with <70% HP. After Doc I end at 100% HP and I have much room for errors, just so much easier. Also Doc is funny One conversation in my ship with him comes to mind, where he said something like "imagine how many women we'll get when we save the galaxy, you better get some sleep now".

Agree with OP. BioWare should do as Mythic has done with Warhammer Online - give increased xp/valor gain for the lacking faction.

This a million times. Please, give some meaning to PvP, not just mindless fragging. Take a look at DAoC for example. Make some bases that we are able to take control of to control the whole zone or something.

The class story and planet story are both quite short, 1 zone only.

Another blatant L2P screamer, nothing to see here.

Uh I've done 300k without a healer below lvl 40. What's the point of this thread?

Yeah, you really don't notice it on other classes that much. I played my Bounty Hunter Merc first to 30 without EVER noticing ability stutter.

Good read. Can't agree more on these two points, especially stuttering and having to press the same ability multiple times to go off. Hope it's really fixed in the next patch.

It's good because by the time you're done with Cauterize you'll have 2 stacks of Overload Saber already on the target! Leap Overload Saber Leap lands, does damage (don't think it stacks OS though) Zealous strike (1 stacks of OS) Cauterize (does direct damage at first too, so 2 stacks of OS)

Does Pacify even work in PvP, cuz I don't think it does.

Having abilities not going off after you pressed the multiple times is anything but "silly".

Try not to skip side-quests or heroic +2s/+4s. Also do a flashpoint or warzone now and then. Keeping 2-3 levels above content will make your leveling a lot easier.

Watchman is great from my personal experience. The DoTs really hurt once you pop Zen and they also heal. Since they ignore armor (I think) they are even better, probably best for sustained damage (PvE). As for PvP it's awesome too and once you get your rotation down you have a very short build up time till you start dealing some real hurt. Also great for classes who like to kite or afterdeath kills

Overload Saber makes your next 3 melee (white damage) attacks put a dot on the target. That DoT stacks 3 times max, 1 melee attack = +1 to stack. Mind you Overload Saber has a time limit too, so you can't enable it then wait a minute to start stacking. As for your specific problem, the DoT should be up after 3 melee attacks. Problem is, the DoT icon on your enemy is the same as Cauterize (unless it's stacked, in which case it shows how many stacks it has). Also note: Overload Saber doesn't always work when you press it (specially mid air), so you have to press Overload Saber hotkey MULTIPLE times for it to trigger.

Technically, your dps as Sentinel should never drop as your resource is "infinite". Make sure you spam Zealous Strike when it becomes available.

Use Overload Saber while you're in air Force Leaping Just an advice. Leap > Overload Saber > Zealous > Cauterize then as you please. Works wonders for me.

Yep, well known problem. Hopefully fixed soon.

Probably because of this. Any skill that is labeled as "instant" but has a build up animation CAN be cancelled due to a bug. Atleast for a melee.

Question, are DoT ticks from Overload Saber and Cauterize "Force" attacks?

Roll Republic is a good advice. I rarely get hutball.
