funny all I see is merc as top DPS in PvP

I agree that self heals are too low in PvP for this spec. The berserk/zen like you say is not full time, but I thought I'd mention my findings to the other Maras/Sents here anyway to see if anyone else has witnessed the same thing with zen/berserk to make sure I'm not crazy.

I read it and I still stand by my last post. Run Parsec and see for yourself that Zen/Berserk has it's on health tick. When you self heal with a Zen/Berserk active you can even see the 15% health tick and the 1% health tick overlapping each other.

Zen burn ticks still give us 1% of max health all others are 15% of max damage.

I used a tank companion as a Sentinel and sometimes a healer, but mostly a tank because they keep the aggro. I recommend using one of your 60's and getting a set of gear for one of your companions by doing the Yavin 4 weeklies it's a very nice upgrade.

First things first I'm a pure PvP player. After playing quite a few warzones since the new changes to watchman/anni I can agree that the survivability is a tad bit better. The heals seem better because when Zen is active it doubles the ticks of heals per burn tick. For example Cauterize has 3 ticks of burn, but with Zen combined you will get 2 ticks per 1 Cauterize burn tick. From what I can see you get the 6 ticks of 1% heals from Zen and the 15% heal based on burn damage on top of that. Although my total heals at the end of warzones have been lower than they were before 3.2.1. The DPS has been much better since these new changes for me since Cauterize finishes faster the burns hit faster too. The dot spread is my most favorite thing right now because the sweep has the same CD as Cauterize and does 30% for damage. I do this combo a lot now Cauterize followed by a Force Sweep it's really awesome and I recommend hitting this when you have a good opportunity. As for utilities the way I have mine set up the changes to them don't affect me much fortunately. I grabbed stoic of course and I roll with the 30 second Transcendence CD keeping the team speedy and getting us a little more damage reduction and I get Fleetfooted for more speed and root breaks. I also pick defensive roll so it's like I never lost the 5% internal/elemental reduction from Juyo.

I don't PVE so rotation is not relevant to me.

That is not saying the same to me.

Does PTS have a schedule or are only select individuals able to test? I seen the prelim notes. Has anyone tested things based on those?

Care to enlighten us or are you just gonna keep talking us down?

The plan is to make all classes similar? The got a spec for that.

I like most of the watchman changes I seen in the draft notes. The 6 sec cauterize and more force sweep damage looks good. I don't like the self heals nerf though.

Concentration used to be good at the AOE some time ago, but it was just a fat hit to the ones in the vicinity. I kind of like how the burns can be spread making for more self heals and damage of course. I think it's nice to have the option to be able to have a spec that can pull off some fat AOE damage rather than have all specs primarily focused on single target dps. So yeah speak for yourself.

Hmm I don't know what to think about the Sentinel/Marauder utilities at this time, but I am curious how the Watchman changes are gonna play out. I like some of the things I'm seeing 6 sec cauterize, low CD on sweep and more damage. Can't wait to try it out.

Here is what watchman needs I don't know about the utilities, but combine force melt with force leap make it say burning leap. Make it a 12 sec dot and make cauterize 6 sec with a CD once again and give it the reset proc for the slashes. Keep the burning sweep and also give watchman back the 2% heals
