Speaking from tanking perspective:
* Does this feel like a Jedi Guardian? Please explain why or why not.
It looks like a Jedi Guardian. The signature moves are here which differentiates from other specs.
* Is there anything that feels missing or out of place in the combat rotation?
Guardian tank emphasizes on cleaver use on DCD to reduce damage and reflect significant damages. Each of the 3 abilities are used for drastic different situations. Saber Reflect (immunity and reflect damage back is very strong in many situations), Ensure (when healers are not available or is already stressed), Blade Blitz (great mobility and defense boost).
To choose between the 3 dumbs down the play style so much. So much so it feels very boring to play. It gives player so little choice.
I however do like the passives as it allows the players to choose which one best suit the boss. The tank needs to spec for Corruptor Zero fight and Revan fight differently, giving players more customizations. However the respec may be very tedious to do before each fight.
* What are your initial thoughts with the effectiveness of the Jedi Guardian against enemies?
As mentioned before, it has worsened significantly. It reduces player choice and thus you cant answer damage spike / sustained damage / leap out mechanics
* How are you enjoying or not enjoying this class?
Over all not enjoying. I enjoyed more abilities to tune passives but not reduction to abilities.
* If you have feedback on the different disciplines and ability paths, please note your feedback accordingly so we can track it.
If the goal is to give players more customization, it should not cut down the abilities then force them to choose which to retain. A better way will be offering different flavors. Example:
Saber Reflect reflect 200% damage back whilst providing only 50% damage reduction.
Saber Reflect reflect no damage back whilst providing 5 (7 if take Daunting Presence) seconds of immunity.
Saber Reflect reflect bot melee and ranged attacks.
