Two words: Barber Pole

And yet the Jedi shadow has both DPS and tank specialties. I don't think it is a lot to ask. The Sentinel tank track could be focused on using both sabers to deflect attacks. I personally think the Sentinel is one of the weakest of the classes. Too difficult to do consistent DPS since your DPS is melee focused, and too easily killed. I would love to see Sentinels get a little tougher. Not as tough as a guardian, but if you want to spend spec points in tanking, thereby reducing your DPS, why not?

What does the number of matches matter? I'm not talking about whether overall PVP is balanced. I'm asking about how to counter the Dark Jedi with stealth and lighting CC. I am still waiting on suggestions

The question is not about whether matches are even. It's how do you counter the stealth, CC combo? Other MMOs had the same thing and in every case you wind up nerfing it because it is so overpowered. I'm just asking about how to defend against the chain lightning CC.

So how do you counter it? I can't see them until they attack, then I unload with everything I have and it does basically nothing. And they can hold me in place until I die. How do you counter that?

Based on other posts, it sounds like the chain lighting CC is pretty rampant. I think I'll pass unless someone knows a way to defend against it?

So, I tried a PVP match just to check it out. It looks like the dark side jedi have absolute supremacy over everyone else. All that happened all match was the invisible dark jedi hide, and as soon as you got near you got chain lightning to death. It was absolutely pointless in my opinion. I think I'll stick to PVE for now. Maybe eventually they will fix it. I was a level 24 Jedi Knight and this was a level 20 dark jedi something or other. Killed me 6 or 7 times before I got tired of it.

I pre-ordered on July 24th and I don't have an email and my account still shows 'no subscription'. So here's hoping I will get an email soon.
