Vexxation Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 Sith warrior mara vs Jedi Knight Sentinel Are they the pretty much exact same class /playstyle? It seems so from the posts I have read (I've been doing lots of reading here) but I couldn't find a post that make this comparison (or, I read so much that my tired eyes overlooked it..).

Ridisi Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 Sith warrior mara vs Jedi Knight Sentinel Are they the pretty much exact same class /playstyle? It seems so from the posts I have read (I've been doing lots of reading here) but I couldn't find a post that make this comparison (or, I read so much that my tired eyes overlooked it..). Every class in the game is an exact mirror on the other side. If you did so much reading how did you not know that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadinaxx Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 the tooltips are almost identical between the two, but the animations are differant in most cases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exertim Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 (edited) Exact same class. The only detriment for being a Sentinel over a Maurader is your Blade Storm has a wind up and projectile travel time whereas Force Scream is instant with no windup or travel time. It's not a huge deal (especially if you plan on not playing as Combat/Carnage) but it's there. Edited January 16, 2012 by Exertim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kibaken Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 (edited) All the classes are mirrors of themselves with, as the above post states, some slight differences. Warriors are probably the most balanced of all of them. Smugglers and Agents have some cooldown differences that I believe are being addressed and I know Consulars/Sorcerers need balancing. Sorcerers currently don't have a travel time on lightning and it deals elemental damage while Consulars have a travel time for their rocks and they deal kinetic. They don't matter, though. The Marauder master race and its more democratically-aligned counterpart are fine and good. Edited January 16, 2012 by Kibaken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadinaxx Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 Marauder is better. end of story Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vexxation Posted January 16, 2012 Author Share Posted January 16, 2012 Thats what I thought then - just wanted to make sure my exhaustion wasn't making me miss something glaringly obvious so I figured I'd ask - thanks to all who replied (except the 2nd poster - seriously? No need to be so rude) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not a huge deal (especially if you plan on not playing as Combat/Carnage) but it's there. um, force scream does have a windup and travel time.

Viscerus Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 Exact same class.

It's not a huge deal (especially if you plan on not playing as Combat/Carnage) but it's there. The damage is actually calculated immediately so the wind up on teh animation is not a real issue.

Fierze Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 If the enemy is 0.1sec away from reaching the medpack, then its an issue! A Sorcerer woulda killed him! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScaryJello Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 Personally, I can't stand Jedi animations, which is my biggest deterrent to going Sentinel. So I went Marauder. I love the power behind each attack, in comparison to the Jedi waving his glowstick around in front of him like a flyswatter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enosh_ Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 what about the execute/opportune attack difference? is that simply a tool tip error or some big oversight, because 100% and 30% is quite a difference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moldrany Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 (edited) One big argument for the marauder is, that the sentinel's champion and battlemaster pvp sets look absolutely horrible. Edited January 17, 2012 by Moldrany Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
