thebigdoubleu Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 I know there's another recent thread asking for advice on which advanced classes to choose, but my requirements are a little different so I thought I'll start a new thread. - Primarily solo questing, exploring. - No intention to raid. - Expect to do PvP. Based on my research, people seem to agree both guardian and sentinel are viable for PvP. I'll keep an eye out for the other on-going thread on this. - Not too keen on tank spec, but am wondering if guardian tank spec is necessary for solo survivability (again, I plan on questing mainly). Frankly, I prefer to DPS. Thanks in advance! I just started SWTOR last night, and I am having a blast. I just got to level 10 and thought I should ask for some input.

Darianth Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 Ny sentinel has good survivability if you know when to pop your damage reducers. If you want to solo with a sentinel all you need to do is keep your tanking companion geared and you can dos to your hearts content. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbuschell Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 This is pretty simple if never want to tank just go sentinel, they have more defensive cooldowns and they hit harder go sentinel and profit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Veniras Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 Agreed. If you can't do the solo content - no matter what class - then it's a question of L2P. So if you prefer DPS and don't want to tank (can be fun in groups), go sentinel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stealios Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 Eh, I'd say if you're able to use 10+ hotkeys in all the harder fights, go sentinel. Yes, you really need 10+ abilities to play sentinel properly and together with your (geared) tanking or healer companion you should be able to solo H2+ at the higher lvls. In pvp you have a few nice group buffs and nice survivability due to self-heal on dot crits & awesome cooldowns As far as guardian concerned if you think tanking is fun or don't want to rule it out just yet, go guardian. They still can do quite some dmg and have some nice survivability as well. And taunting in pvp = awesomeness Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebigdoubleu Posted April 3, 2012 Author Share Posted April 3, 2012 Thanks for the reply everyone. I've decided to roll with a Jedi Sentinel, and I am having lots of fun. Got to level 14 now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
