I am just wondering why he didn't take a SS of the actual GM ingame, and not just chat.

This I wouldn't be so quick to blame BW for what may just be one crappy employee.

Yeah exactly.

I don't understand why epople think opening with a leap is so bad. Opening with force camo runs the risk of completely wasting it.

Where did I say no utility? I just think the ability to taunt/aoe taunt puts any DPS class at the top of the utility list. Taunt helps you keep healers and tanks alive, with no drawback to your own dps. THe speed buff, damage buff (five min CD it's not htat useful) healing debuff will all cause the Marauder/Sentinel to do less potential DPS himself because Zen=Automatic Crits. So tired of people putting words in mouths on this forum. LOL Yes I said "no utility" Kneejerk more please.

2.5 seconds and it's a stun.

My thoughts are you should stop making threads about the same thing. We get it.

I say this because good sages/sorcs deal with other equally talented marauders/sentinels on my server just fine. The only conclusion I can reach if you have problems with them is you aren't doing something properly. I'm not going after a problem, I like you, and everyone else, is offering their opinion. If your intention is to have forum wars, I hope you can enjoy that. I still feel like the majority of the problems you experience with Marauders/Sentinels is because you may not be using the class to it's full potential. I'm sure you are a successful Sage on what is probably a PVE server, and that's great. However, I am just joining others in saying that I just can't see how you think Marauder/Sentinels are so gimped in contrast to a Sorc/Sage in the scope of War Zones in this game. I also think you are EXTREMELY incorrect about the usefulness of the AOE Heal. AOE Heals are great in PVP. A team with three, AOE Heal capable healers is still very tough to deal with in NC and VS, and sometimes ACW. I suggest you read some youtube videos on Healing Sorc/Sages or something.

Utility? No way PTs/Vanguards can Taunt/Guard and they can pull. Having the ability to taunt puts any class that's capable very high on utility. Period.

Charging first as being something bad is a misconception. It's extremely easy to charge, and do things to tie up/do damage/mitigate damage/take little to no damage in 12 seconds until it is up again. Stasis/Awe (they can only break one). Force Camo, snare/interrupt etc. I usually charge when I see the cast bar. That way I interrupt and close the distance. I'm not going to burn force camo right away because Force Camo is typically too important to waste in such a way, plus it's not a guarantee it will work. The sorc could just force speed in the opposite direction. I think people who rely so heavily on Force Leap just aren't good at staying in melee range to begin with. After playing Sentinel for as long as I have, I don't have much of a problem staying in Melee range once I get there, and attempts to kite I can usually counter in some way to minimize it. I'd rather start with a charge and go from there. It's use as an interrupt IMO is too useful to not use when the opportunity presents itself.

What's wrong with the bolded? If someone puts the time in to have multiple geared 50s they deserve to reap the rewards. You are really justifying aggression on the forums at all? Who cares about his position. You are being aggressive over someone's opinion over a video game. This hurts your own credibility. (Judging from your posts, I don't give you much to begin with. We have many successful Sorc/Sages on our server). People like you existed in closed beta when I tried to tell everyone Sentinel/Marauder was a viable class. They accused me of being a Sorc and said I just wanted to keep my own class OP. Thus the circle of abuse is complete.

It is a shame. I used to defend Sorc/Sages I never thought they needed a nerf because I know how easy it was for me to control most of them. It's projection, some people will defend "their" class like it's a baby and want it to be above others, so they assume others do. Like Devs sit and make decisions based on what people in the forums argue about, contrary to what people believe. It may cause them to look at something, but it certainly ain't the deciding factor. If it was SOrcs would have never bee nerfed, they are too popular a class.

LOL Here it comes. "You don't disagree with me so you must be behind some conspiracy theory to keep the *insert class here*man down". Maybe he actually feels this way. Is that okay with you?

What drop combat ability?

Funny thing is, I don't have to use my snare nearly as often as people would think. Sorc/Sages just stand there anyway. Sorc/sages who actually kite are considered exceptional PVPers lol. I have said this since launch. If you are a caster, and a melee leaps on you, your first, and I mean first instinct needs to be to kite/run/create distance. If you stand there you will die.

I have to agree. Also to Taugrim's Credit, I remember PVPing with him when he would stream a few times (this was back in closed beta, post the NDA being lieft) and he played a lowbie Sentinel. He realized Sentinel was a good class when the vast, and I do mean vast, majority thought it was a bad class. This puts him above 95% of the forum posters here. While I do not agree with him on everything, since following what he's said about Swtor since I guess Novemberish? I certainly respect his opinion as a competent player. He also made a Vanguard when everyone at first thought it sucked. WoW PVP ability means little to me. I had many arguments with people in closed Beta about how they were WoW Gladiators or whatever, and Deemed the SEntinel/Marauder class to be under powered. Why? Because in WoW, or wherever they came from, they were awesome at melee dps, but in SWTOR they were terrible. Therefore the problem was with the class. Funny how that works. Sentinel/Marauder has changed very little since Zen/Berserk and all the CDs got added in about October I believe.

I have the same experience on my vanguard except I'm tank tree. I'll get focused by 4 people and I last a stupid long time. Longer than on my SEntinel. lol.

IMO you will never see large scale OWPVP in an MMO again. Planetside is the closest you will get to it. People require astonishing graphics, and you can't have astonishing graphics and 200 players drawn on the screen without a slide show. THat's the worse part of OWPVP for me, I'm not going to blow 2000 on a system for one game, and no one else will eitehr.

Yup, this. We held some open PVP events on our server, hardly anyone wanted to take part, if you only do something when trinkets are involved you probably don't think it's that fun.

I'd be down for that but you shouldnt have to build up centering to use Zen if there will be a drawback to it. Should be on some sort of CD.

A guardian complaining about a marauder? LOL.

People apparently do. West/East should be automatic to anyone who went to public school.

People just need tos ay East/west

Its when players fight other players

Force Regeneration? LOL.
