Ah the rage of ignorant people. Sentinel is not the weakest dps by any means first of all. And surge should not be a high priority stat. I have 100 surge raiting didnt effect my overall % too much. Focus on power and win..all you need to do..

Lol what? We did this with 2 sents earlier a while ago. You do not need a knockback for the stun droids just kill them off not hard...Cant always put dps on the boss he gets too many stacks. Stupid stupid guild leader imo.

400-500K is cool and all but you can do better as watchman AND it has better utility. Also I don't like basing damage on Warzones at all.

Well I've pulled aggro and pretty much get one shotted so if that says anything. I haven't actually tried it and like I said I wouldn't.

No no and no. Yes you build it fast but you're gonna waste Zen stacks on 1 stack of Overload saber. Wait the 2 more gcds and then pop in with cauterize up. You get mad crits leading to higher DPS.

I really wouldn't suggest it on a lot of the bosses on HM they hit pretty hard. I dunno bout normal's never really did em.

Thought you were trolling at first but guess not. So uhm is it that hard to find a tank? I mean as watchman I would be able to keep aggro but I don't see it as a viable option at all honestly.

So you want OS to eat up zen with only 1 stack of OS on...hmmm...I'm not math wiz but 3 stacks of OS and THEN Zen would crit for me. Hmm Math how do work?

I have no problem with our number of CDS doesn't bother me at all. I love it really, but just the UI is killing me I still can't get used to it...

Now I love combat but it is really bad atm imo. Survivability; It just doesn't feel like its there for combat, I'm a good player at this game and absolutely destroy people as watchman it just isn't there with combat. I never lost a 2v1 as watchman I CAN'T seem to win one as combat. Defensive forms for Juyo form is SO big, 4% reduction to internal and elemental, there's so many DoT specs that this is so big. Damage; The damage output just isn't there I'm at least 100k under my watchman damage. Now don't come on here with your Screenshots of 'Oh hey look I did big numbers as combat in an Assault match' whoop de do 20 min game will do that. It's just not there Blade Storm doesn't hit for near as much as merc slash and ataru proc is just bad. 150? Doesn't scale with anything, cool story Bioware. Zen; This kinda falls under survivability but oh well. Zen for combat is kinda bad as well. Blade rush cost to 1 is nice and all but meh, and inspiration has a 5 min CD, don't forget it takes forever to build centering as Combat while watchman can have it in 1 rotation. These things also rollover to PvE combat just doesn't have it. Watchman is where it's at I'm sorry for you combat people.

Using leg slash wastes a GCD when you can add a snare on an ability that you're always gonna have on CD. Using leg slash in watchman is a waste, losing the DPS and that DPS lose could lose you a kill if they get healed.

I don't even factor strength honestly. It's our main stat it's on every piece of gear. That being said Power > surge > crit for me, our Zen should be up like 90% of the time so a lot of crits on our DoTs, and merc slash crits a lot it seems.

No, and watchman was kind of a nerf. But all combat needs is a couple tweeks to be back on par with watchman. If they fix the ataru bug and make scale in some way, anyway really, it would come to rival watchman. But until they do it's gonna be a trash tree. And if they can't address simple bugs they're not gonna look at changing a whole tree.

Above poster got it right. Ataru pretty much takes place of sprint when you go into combat, they won't stack. And I always had to toggle it off and on after load screens, that was about a month ago haven't played combat since.

Any dots on you dont tick and it doesnt force you out of it. Also I find it amazing for OPs on most every boss.

You sure about that? I knew scoundrels did but I don't play with sound on anymore. Never heard it when I did play with it though.

Go with what you want really. This is the spec I use for watchman (PvE) http://db.darthhater.com/skill_calc/jedi_knight/sentinel/#::fe3f2ef13e2fe3fe3fe4fe3f12df7:

With this new UI and all the bugs on HM Soa, and still the bugs within our class, I'm getting really fed up with this game I've considered unsubbing. I love the game but I really don't wanna play a beta game after it's been released live..

I just stopped doing them honestly. My server is outnumbered by empire and next to no republic to do it so gave up. Maybe when I hit BM soon Ill go back to trying to do them but till then.

Well scoundrels and shadows have an infinite stealth like a rogue. So might have been one of those.

It lasts 4 seconds and if you take any damage during it it forces you out of it. You can spec into it in Watchman to take 0 damage while in it.

Yea its really annoying, ecspecially now that I don't have my mouse wheel in mapped. My camera resets way in every time and click once and it's like 100% out.

So after doing an ops tonight and a buncha PvP I'm really sick of this UI. It's too bright for every GCD and I have too look down every now and then, never had to do that with the old UI. Le sigh bioware.

I seriously had no problems with their old UI and how cds worked...I log in and play with this new one and I absolutely hate it. No need for it to be that bright on every gcd...

With my power relic, 355, rakata adrenal, and a crit on my merc slash in full champ gear I hit for 4900. So I assumed it was possible with BM gear.
