This makes me smile - the thought of how many of these people will give up is amusing. I consider myself rather agile fingered and quickminded - much above average and i still have trouble hitting all the right things at the right time. Cant imagine the majority of players being successful.

Of all the classes this one could just not be right for your playstyle. It is a stressful class to play if really fast frantic button dancing is not your thing. Fast advice for this is use all your buttons but honestly ... that is really hard to do. All of your skills (most of which you need almost every fight) will not fit on the bottom 2 bars. Start hotkeying your sidebars and using every button everywhere your fingers can reach. Then do that every fight For more specifics there are many posts by much better sentinels than me. I really like this class and have had no problem leveling and only minor PvP problems but thats just me ... even when i win (50/50) i think about the fight and remember about 5 things i missed or just forgot about Overall i like the intensity of the play ... when i need a nice mellow slow button relaxing play session ill log into my Seer/Sage

Tooltip states Reduces all damage taken by 20% and deals 134 energy damage to attackers. This effect cannot occur more than once every 1.5 seconds. Lasts 6 seconds. Rebuke refreshes to its full duration when attacked, but this effect cannot last more than 30 seconds in total. My question is about the wording. I would hope to guess that 20% reduction is up all the time and the 134 damage is on the cooldown. On second reading i am not as sure of that. Are both on a 1.5 sec cooldown? That would be ... disappointing Can someone clarify please.

Focus gives highest burst and sustained DPS. Done.
