In the end I used my token to start at 60 as a sniper, the pewpew spammy style of the GS can be annoying while the sniper sounds and effects makes it feel like it has an impact each shot!

Good idea! Thx!

Yeah I'v already did both stories, but thx for the information regardless! I was wondering, sniper/blaster aside, which one do you feel has the best animations/effects in their abilities?

As the thread's name implies, I'm wondering who has the better looking weapons, armor style, abilities, effects, etc. I already did every stories in the game (beside trooper that I did not go past lvl 40-45 or so) a couple of years ago so I'm coming back only to see how is the game now compared to 3.X. I want to start a sniper or GS but I just can't decide between the two and I for sure don't have the time to lvl both. Therefore, I'd like the opinion of fellow players! Thank you, A.R.

Thx for the info! Ill continue to lvl my sentinel to 60 but as I was playing it as combat, I will try the concentration spec as it sounds like the most viable.

I only like burst but I dont want to roll FOTM hehe thats why im not going assassin or PT. I was just wondering if what you were telling me was "stay away from sentinel unless you have a pocket healer as a friend" or else It will only be a headache.

Ok so... as a big "résumé" of your opinion, as I used to main (before my several months long break) scoundrel/ops, I should probably stick to that class (specced conceal/scrapper) if I want a melee that has big burst but is also viable (or at least a lot easier)?

Wut? Why would it be the worst? A lot would argue annihilation marauders, to name only one, is a lot worst for example.

I hear you. I love ruffian too but beside the off heals, I feel almost useless damage-wise as I can't burst somebody as quickly as a lot of the other burst classes.

I'v read around, had my decent experience as ruffian (was playing lethality op before my months-long break) and saw some vids of most people saying (in a really TL.DR.): go for concealment/scrapper for really good burst and lethality/ruffian if you want decent burst with really good off-heals and resistance to DoTs (which, for a while, were flying everywhere with all scrubs rerolling FOTM sins going hatred and sorcs going madness). As of right now, I am not too sure if there's still has many DoTs going around in PVP, but there's no question there that scrapper does a lot more burst than ruffian.

Thx. Was wondering though, which is the best with fury (the common tree)?

Hello community! As my title implies, I just came back from a several-month break from the game and I'm kind of lost in what is what. I read about in the forums of both ACs and it seems sentinel is still an underdog that needs attention from the devs and guardian recieved the nerf bat not too long ago. I'm mainly a pvp player and I'm wondering which one is most viable but mostly FUN to play. As I'm used to play my operative and wanted another melee class, do they have about the about same amount of burst and survivability as the op/scoundrel? Thx for any tips/information!

Do like me, unsub and spend your money elsewhere Maybe once they lose all PVP playerbase, they will understand what kind of failure the balancing is.

True but I'd still prefer this to grenade simply because using dart+corrosive nade + grenade = 3 GCDs + a lot of energy compared to snipers that apply both dots and the dart is spread.

Yup, sins have the same spread as sorcs, why can't we have corrosive nade spread our dart too, like snipers? Also, toxic blast needs a damage buff if we aren't getting a buff to our dot damage.
