What i saw from your earlier posts but you didn't mention it exactly is that you were lvling back then, ain't that true? And its true that Sents have a lot of problems PVPing before 40 because you don't have some few really important skills and you don't have acces to last ability in tree (Sents are in no means able to play hybrid builds). About lack of AoE. It's SINGLE TARGET DPS class, in terms of AoE there is Commando who is really hurt after 1.2 AFAIK. This thread made day, I must admit that x)

I don't want to insult watchman-PvP lovers but it's looks like it's the most BRAINDEAD rotation for Sent and it's still the best in terms of damage. So right now i started to wonder, maybe NONE of us can play proper combat and there is still way to find better rotation for that spec? And Combat can build centering as fast as WM And since when more CC is useless in PvP O_o I like the idea of combat but I play watchmen because I'm dedicated PvE player (I don't do WZs since I've hit 50). And can some Combat-Lovers suggest me build for PvE combat? I'm too confused what should i take after all since most Sents here are WM worshipers. Little OT: Is it me or really most request's about nerfing Sentinels/Guardians/Shadows/etc. are coming from dedicated Commando players who should just ask for buff for themselves?

You don't want ANY willpower. Your question should be more like power, crit, surge. As far as I know Crit chance around 30% and DMG multiplier at 65% is good enough. Then you go with full power since it don't have diminishing effect like Crit or Surge

That and let us use two double-bladed lightsabers ^^ But seriously i don't think combat is worse than watchman. I would say it's just other. Either way it's just a matter of time for me when BW decide to crack our defensive CD's "cause they are PvP imbalanced" to the lvl where we will be not able to make any operations And is it me or you too think that most crying players are right now in fact Commando's/Mercenary's who probably the most destroyed class right now? Maybe they should just ask for buff instead of nerf EVERYTHING else and especially Sents/Maras?

Maybe its just my opinion but probably until level 40+ it's always hard for Sent's. A lot of people claim that on 50 lvl you will be called OP for the other hand x) I have 47 lvl right now (my first character) and my state is that real life for sents starts after you have last skill in tree you use (Blade Rush for combat and Merc Slash for Watchman tough i didnt play Focus). So take your time and lvl up your sent first Also there is great possibility that only i suck at PvP and someone will give you some real advice ^^"

I use it only for stun if I fight with many normals/weaks (i dont have 50 lvl yet) and on PvP as interrupt (defending doors on Voidstar, def points on Alderaan/Novare) but I'm gonna test cyclone slash for that since it's only on GCD and ataru strike can come out.

You didn't take Merciless Zeal (heal from burns crits, without this its kinda pointless) in watchman and Defensive form in combat (maybe it's just me but this 2 points are MUST have in any build) http://www.torhead.com/skill-calc#501bIbRMRrfsZ0M.1 As far as I know this is minimum staple build for watchman (thought i'm not sure between Focused Leap vs Force Fade) but feel free to tell me where i made mistake

Thanks a lot for response. So since my guildmates said that I can play anything I want (They are not in to strict powergaming) and you have confirmation that combat is viable so i'm happy:) About playing watchmen, I'll give him another chance on 50 if that's the case, maybe I will learn it. In fact because of watchman tree I wanted to play sent but when I found it pretty hard during lvling, I gave up. Last request. Could someone give me links to builds and rotations for watchmen and combat for PvE? I'm really bad in trying to figure it out by myself :/ Again thanks for help

Hello everyone, since it's my first post. I don't want to make new thread since i can stick my questions here. I'm 43 combat and would like to stick with it to the endgame content, since i didn't like watchmen during leveling (I've played watchmen till 25 probably) , but i couldn't find proper info about combat PvE in 1.2 because most of threads are about PvP :/ (I only play casual Warzones and I don't plan to play rankeds WZ's) 1. So is combat viable or i will have to learn Watchman anyway for hards/operations? Changing character is not an option. 2. Some people say that ranged DPS is superior to melee DPS in terms of PvE. Is that true? O_o
