Pacify, rebuke, saber ward, transcendence and doing your combo better will probably fix all your problems.

Going completely into one tree will always give you more synergy than a hybrid spec. Just look at what you are missing out on in the combat tree and what you picked up in focus, I wouldn't say it's particularly worthwhile. If you are doing more damage using this spec than you are by using a full combat spec then you were obviously playing combat spec wrong.

It wasn't sentinels that needed a nerf it was just surge as a stat being too powerful. Needed change tbh, don't get your panties in a twist.

Did it without T7 and medkits. Was extremely easy.

My normal playstyle for my sentinel is: WARGARBLARGHBLARGH I'M ON YOUR FACE WARGARBLARGHBLARGH You only need to run away if you team isn't supporting you properly, which is unfortunately nearly all pub games.

I'm not going to bother reading your posts until you use a colour that is actually readable.

A lot of sentinel survivability comes from killing people very quickly, which they do very well once you get your head around all the keybinds.

I've got my defensive CDs on the right side of wasd so fgcv, stims and relics on shift+fgcv, offensive CDs on the numbers and q+r. So even if I miss a keybind I still hit something vaguely related to what I wanted to hit. Thanks for the comments!

No it's not insignificant. Look at my vod where constant use of zen saved me many times.

PvE gear has substantially more HP than PvP gear, but you should be aiming for ~15-16k

Heh, cheers. I really need to scroll out more.

Being inspired by other people uploading/broadcasting their sentinel games I've uploaded my own! One 15 min action packed game on Voidstar, hope you enjoy. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vZp2zp6IqMk&feature=plcp&context=C3359addUDOEgsToPDskI7KJij1kkBrco4KWgWIHNF

I did it without T7 as the puzzle bugged out for me. Just hid behind the pillar, one shot the clones and use zealous -> overload -> cauterize on him every time he got near. Didn't have to use a medkit.

For the sentinel it's actually an 12% health gain if you got the Merciless Zeal talent. 6% is the party health gain from the zeal procs. Combined with Valorous call you get an additional 12% giving a grand total of 24% health regen in a fight along with a 12% health regen to party members. It's nowhere near insignificant.

Champion and battlemaster are hoodless. They look awful though.

Are you kidding me? A DPS class with self sustain that comes about FROM DOING DAMAGE is friggin awesome. You know that your flame crits actually do a LOT of damage as well right? Even if you don't like zen you can use transcendence which gives you a flat 10% damage reduction AND 50% speed boost, whats not to like?

Champion headpieces are terrible, so yea you are going to be stuck with a hood most of the time.

I think it is intended this way. Remember that those crits heal your party for 1% of their max health (so a total of 6% health gain). I frequently get 75k healer medal in a WZ if I pop it every time it's up.

Go focus, run into blob, force sweep and it's guaranteed to make you smile. Every time.

OP is a surely a troll?

I have a degree in maths, it's not my comprehension of maths that is at fault here. What you are saying: Mainhand -> lots of DPS -> important Offhand -> not so much DPS -> not important. Thats just untrue as you still need to have a really nice offhand to maximize your damage. Fine it's not as important as your main hand, but if it was equally as important (both hands do less damage instead of one doing less) then you would be complaining even more as it's really hard to keep two lightsabers fully kitted out. Especially end game where it can take literally weeks to get your proper equipment.

Your mainhand is also just a stat stick. I have no idea what you are trying to convey.

The second lightsaber does matter, a lot. Saying that it's a stat stick is stupid because everything in this game revolves around stats. Your main lightsaber is a stat stick as equally as your offhand is. The fact that your offhand does less damage (so that we aren't roflstomp OP) doesn't mean you get to neglect to upgrade it or that it's in any way less important to our DPS.

Remember you have valorous call for even more zen if you are in a sustained blobfight.

Watchmen is a single target persistent DPS style whilst focus is more of a AoE burst style. Watchmen requires you to manage your focus so that you can use your abilities when they come off cooldown, while Focus is more about managing your cooldowns so you can combo correctly. I'd say Focus is more fun but playing watchmen correctly is more rewarding.
