It's almost a month from official release now, and for a lot of it I have been devoutly checking the Auction House for some particular Sentinel specific pieces that would have helped end-game progression greatly, rather than relying on PVP gear. Some of it I have just not been able to find or craft, and know of no other Sentinel to have done so. I myself am more or less beyond needing these pieces, but if these do not exist then it will hinder the progression of upcoming Sentinels, at least compared to other classes.
To my knowledge, we seem to be missing:
Orange slot belt Orange slot bracers Purple slot strength based earpiece (level 50)
The belts and bracers I have been able to find are, if medium, then class restricted to smuggler, while those restricted to Jedi Knight are heavy armour only. This may be an oversight, seeing as we are the only AC to use a different armour type to the alternative.
As for the Earpiece, I am not a cybertech myself so I can't confirm, but my guild's crafter says that he has made several hundred of the blue forms and has not managed to proc' a purple from reverse engineering. With their complete absence on the Auction House, I've come to assume that they just cannot be RE'd.
So, has anyone else noticed this or am I (and my crafters) just amazingly unlucky?
