  1. This. Sentinel/Marauder/Scoundrel and Operative are so bad on this map, it's staggering. Any melee class without a push or pull has no business taking up a slot on this map.
  2. Yeah, I anticipate a lot of PvPers putting their clothes back on after the first match.
  3. All I know is when I confront a Lolsmash/sweep Warrior/Knight as Watchman, he's going to have a nice, fun trip back to the spawn area... so you pay a high price for this utility. Given that it doesn't make you immune to snares and even a Transcended, snared Sentinel is easily caught up to, I definitely disagree with your assertion that there's "nothing better".
  4. 13. Someone who plays Sentinel/Marauder/Scoundrel/Operative as their main and still has an active subscription at the end of a single Huttball match.
  5. My sub is up today, cancelled - number 1 reason I gave: Hate Huttball with a passion. Rolled the wrong class for it (melee class with no knockback/pull to/stun) and, after a couple of hundred matches and thousands of knockbacks/pull-tos/stuns into pits/acid/fire... I'd rather stab my own eyes out than play 1 more Huttball match. You know when you bruised your hand by punching the wall in the last minute of a match you won 6-0, scoring 2 of the goals yourself, that success on this piece of crap map is redundant. It's just completely unfun and frustrating as hell for a handful of classes in the game. When I did that, I knew it was time to quit. Letting me decide which scenarios to queue for would probably bring me back.
  6. This. The only people who are saying Sentinels/Marauders aren't hard to learn are people who haven't played them. In fact, I wouldn't doubt they are Sorcerers and Mercenaries.
  7. Sentinels don't take out 2+ enemies solo unless said enemies are bad or undergeared. I've done it too, of course... but when MS is critting for 3.5k-4k, you know you're dealing with chumps and the results could be repeated with any other class with comparable gear. Regardless, that wasn't the point of my post. In straight up PvP, we're good. In Huttball and other places where utility can swing the match in a big way, we're not nearly as useful due to the fact we don't really have any utility. We have offensive and defensive cooldowns. Not the same thing. We approach every situation the same way, all the time and have absolutely no fun abilities like the ones I mentioned.
  8. Actually, if you look at Sentinel PvP armor... we already have Jet Packs. They just don't work. Sentinel PvP armor is probably the most god awful designed piece of trash I've ever seen. On topic: Sure. Why not. Personally, I always felt the style of your lightsaber should not have been determined by your class, but by personal choice.
  9. TBH: I'm not dissatisfied with the Sentinel's power level. What I've become fed up with is our lack of interesting abilities. I mean, look at the neat utility you see in other classeS: * Pull your ally toward you. * Push your enemy away. * Pull your enemy toward you. * Stealth * AoE Knockbacks * Jump to your Ally * Guard (this ability is singlehandedly more useful than Stasis, Pacify and Transcendence combined) After playing a Mercenary, Sith Juggernaut and a Vanguard, I don't *care* anymore that I can 1v1 people. Sentinel is just boring as **** to play and doesn't really have the tools to turn Warfronts around. You can do your part, but it's all just a grind. You don't get that rush of pleasure EVER that only comes from using one of your utility/cool powers in the perfect way, like knocking someone off a cliff in Ilum or grappling your allied ball carrier out of trouble. Sentinels just don't have a single fun ability. They're a grind personified.
  10. Jedi Sentinels are Fury Warriors with glow-in-the-dark swords. They couldn't have missed the feeling of a Jedi harder in a Sentinel. Not saying we're not good, but Scoundrels feel closer to Jedi than Sentinels do - I mean, they PUNCH things out, including droids. That's like beyond Jedi. lol
  11. Yeah, why Immobilize is not considered a CC for a melee is beyond me. Their Resolve system is hokey and convoluted to the extreme. It's one of the larger frustrations I have.
  12. No LFG tool is why I don't bother doing Flashpoints at all. Too hard to find a group, especially as a pure DPS class on PvP server, Republic side (so already 66% of the gaming population can't group with me) and too hard to find replacements if someone has to leave. These sizable setbacks are just compounded by the fact there is no dual-spec system in place, so tanks have to be dedicated and so do healers. Finally, 4 person per group means that there needs to be a tank and a healer for every 2 DPS in the game to have a healthy flashpoint population. Anyone who's played WoW knows that, even with dual-speccing, it isn't even close to the point where there's a tank for every *3* DPS in the game. I truly have to say, I've never seen a game that's gone out of its way to make its content as inexcessable as possible. I, too, have cancelled my sub. Not just because their is no LFG tool, but that certainly didn't help.
  13. I gotta say, I love the part where he took cover and shot people.
