Is this really the best option? What is the math behind it? How is it superior to full BM set? If yes, why does PvE gear have place in PvP? Why do *******es whine and demand PvP gear nerf? Why is this even happening when it shouldn't? Can someone elaborate with some constructive feedback? Some people say mixing PvE with PvP is the best option (which shouldn't *********** happen for PvP in the first place....), others say the full PvP BM set is superior. Is there any conclusive research that has been done regarding this issue? Are the developers aware of it?

They are certainly more difficult than Sages that is for damn sure. A Sage posted a video DPS-ing only with 1 skill during the entire WZ. Guess when a Sentinel/Marauder is going to pull that off? Never.

This is the main thing about Sentinels. They are not underpowered, they are simply complex and not easy to master. Many players become overwhelmed by the various abilities that have to be used in basic rotations and PvP situations. The problem is that Sentinel/Marauder's skill cap is REALLY high compared to the rest of the classes. The simplest and most noob friendly spec would be focus/rage and it is understandable why so many players would go down that path. Watchman and Combat rely on rotations composed by more diverse skills and do not revolve around 1 button. Another trend I have noticed lately is ignorant players labeling Sentinels/Marauders as overpowered. The thing that they do not consider is the skill cap, which I mentioned. Skilled players really excel with the class and this is how it should be - them EARNING their way to being powerful due to adequate playing. Other classes have relatively low skill cap, especially BHs/Mercs, Sorcerers/Sages.

BUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA This is where your post became totally irrelevant.

Republic player here. Thanks though, fellas.

Lvl 50 battlemaster here, I have barely done any PvE. Just wanted to know which instances you guys would recommend to get 2 of those babies. I just want to craft my Rakata might Stim and Rakata Medpac and be done with it. Any advice would be appreciated.

I would really love to see something similar to Battlefront space battles to get implemented.

Servers are not up yet and babies start crying... I feel sorry for all of the MMO developers who have to deal with such ignorant people.

Overpowered how? You have a looooooong post explaining in detail with a thorough analysis, backed up with numbers and you ask me how... Seriously? Not to mention that there have been MULTIPLE sorcs/sages coming out of the box and ADMITTING that they feel too powerful at times (specifically with hybrid spec).

Hybrid spec is overpowered and it has to go. Plain and simple.

And stupid noobs whine that PvP gear is OP...

Just another video of AoE smashing that does not require any effort. Seriously, it is laughable when jedi knights/sith warriors film themselves stomping the ground and think it is impressive.

Nothing special... And absolutely AWFUL music. I am a fan of metal and rock in general, but that was pure crap.

Noob aoe bombing can be done even by a brain-dead chimpanzee. No, it doesn't require skill... I am sorry, but it doesn't. I am sick and tired of seeing focus/rage bombers coming here and telling fairy tales about skill... Seriously... Is popping a trinket and getting a bunch of stacks really that hard?

This describes every pretentious, spineless WZ quitter. +1 For the truth.

Yes, especially compared to focus. Inb4"poppingtrinketandnoobaoebombingrequiresskill"

AHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA Some people are obsessed with trying to be cool. Cool story bro.

Now that my gear is up to par with that of most of my opponents, I feel quite strong in PvP. There are some things that can be tweaked, but it is not like Sentinels are absolutely helpless like some people tend to misrepresent the class.

I am slowly losing faith in humanity.

Oh my *********** god... I would rather fry my own brain than having to read such unfounded and blatantly stupid statements.

Whiners, you haven't seen a good Operative in action it seems. The nerf was well deserved and operatives are still powerful in the right hands. Adapt, instead of crying for class advantages that would compensate for your sub par skills. It is funny how you can tell which people rolled Op/Scoundrel just for the sake of their initial imbalance. Now that they are in par with other classes, all of the kids that want it easy cry like there is no tomorrow. Don't make me laugh.

Exploiters should be banned. No one wants weak-minded noobs...

Indeed. It is quite funny when people go and write *********** guides when they display such major gaps of knowledge... Hmmm, I know nothing about programming... I will make a guide about programming! w00t

Don't be *********** delusional. There are OBVIOUS problems with the optimization. And your personal experience is an equivalent to the absolute truth, which is by no means possible to be questioned or analyzed? Has it ever ocured to you that the experience of other people may vary and this could be a good indication for bad optimization? I am sorry, but such ignorant statements make me facepalm... Holy *********** ****.
