What do people feel is the DPS hierarchy for the Republic. Which class's are top to bottom? Which class's really need to utilize the non-dps role that they have. This is more of a general question for ops in general.

I'd like to know this as well.

Just from parsing what I've read together in my own head, it seems as if it's Commando > Gunslinger > Sentinel > Sage and I have no idea where the others are at.

We'll find out soon enough, once Patch 1.2 goes live.

My gut-feeling and personal experience say

Good DPS

-Commando

-Sentinel

-Gunslinger

-Sage

Average DPS

-Guardian

-Shadow

-Powertech

Sub-par

-Scoundrel

But the differences aren't all that huge (less than 50% between a Commando and a Scoundrel).

From what I've seen from sims (not completely accurate, but it's the best we can do for live). All classes are pretty close...without looking up the numbers, I think it breaks down to something like this for sustained DPS:

Mercs/maraders/snipers are around 1400 or so

sorcs are around 1300

jug/assassin/powertech are like 1200

operative is like 1100

Burst DPS is much different...I believe pyrotech powertech is the highest, with like a possible 25-30k damage in 6 gcds if they get EXTREMELY lucky: thermal, rail, flame burst, rail, rocket, rail...
