Sentinel / Guardian --> Gameplay

[weloh]

Hello,

 

I just created a new character as a jedi knight and I've got a question.

 

As a dps, which gameplay is the most easier, Sentinel or Guardian.

 

I played both of them at level 13 but I really don't know what to choose ><

Well... it really depends. Sentinels use more abilities than any other class: they have to press the most buttons to be effective. They have very good survivability - if you press all those buttons. You have to utilize most of the abilities. But all three trees are crazily effective DPS trees; all three are somewhat late bloomers though.

 

Levelling a Guardian tank is quite easy if you have patience. It will take some time to kill tougher mobs but you have very good survivability. After getting the healer companion, you're unstoppable. But of course tanking group content is harder than DPSing.

 

DPS Guardians aren't very hard to play, imho: Focus' rotation is fairly simple and effective and Vigilance's rotation isn't difficult either and it has a very natural, intuitive flow to it. Early on you may struggle with them though as the survivability isn't great and the damage also only picks up at the later levels.

 

I don't know if you plan to do PvP: if so, then the easiest is the Focus Guardian. Playing a tank in PvP (preferably Vigilance/Defense hybrid) isn't very hard either because you're usually not a priority target, you have good survivability and great CC if you spec into it.

Thank you for your helpfull answer ! =)

 

As a guardian dps, which spec would be easier to level with now that 1.4 is live ?

Focus. It got seriously upgraded.
