Sentinels / Marauders are team-oriented classes with AoE and Team buffs. Sure, if you get focused you'll likely die, but if you can escape once or twice, buff you teammates with speed/damage increases, and distract the other side, good teammates will see you through to victory. And if you don't get focused, you can win one-on-one, and really finish off enemy after enemy, not to mention slowing them down.

I just want to say that, as a new player, this is incredibly depressing and frustrating! I've tried all of the work arounds posted, with no luck. Not being able to complete the first major flashpoint of the game is a big deal for me. I subscribed for 60 days and, at this point, am not likely to renew after that. If Bioware and the developers can't be bothered to identify the source of this common, if not universal, problem, and address it, it's clear that they are not genuinely interested in their customer's in-game experience. It's really sad, as it seems like a decent game, and there's obviously been a ton of work put into it. Even if there's no possible fix, clearly explaining the issue and offering a work-around, even involving creating a code for the rewards, would be the obvious decision, but radio silence for years...that's pretty damned unacceptable.
