Sith Marauder / Jedi Sentinel Initial Builds.

both maruder and Senti got same class mechanics and skills description but with different names. the thread/posts should apply to both.

PVE:
Didnt Play group PVE much cuz i played on a french server, so i cant tell which build is better (go AOE cuz too much mobs? max Single Target for Raid bosses? dont know)

PVP:
in PVP this class is waaay OP, tons of dmg, your main problem is to close the gap between you and your enemy once you are in melee range you will be squishing/interupting him for easy kill.

your main opponent are Bounty Hunters in cover, you cant charge them, and they 2-3 shot you from range. but it is counter-able.

in the below builds. you should not waste much time in building focus/rage, you should be able to spam your vicious slash on your opponents for easy kill.

also you have quite few extra skills to close the gap between you and your enemy. (one extra charge followed by speed buff & a ranged snare, etc..)

i believe the above skill tree calculator is not up to date. Defensive Forms should generate 2 centering when attacked. which gives you a faster way to reach 30 centering.

Note:
all the above based on my small experience up to lvl 25, all my opponents were below or in same lvl. feel free to discuss.

The torguild.net calculator isn't up to date it seems, some of the talents are not correct there.

bounty hunter dousnt use cover

is it the agent then ? i am not expert yet, but there is a class that use cover which really do some serious dmg from range and i cannot charge to them.

this is the only class that was pain, rest i just spam my skill and they die.

probably doesn't mean much at all about the classes Bluff Skilled pvp player with experience from a variety of games vs people with questionable experience/skill (definitly less on both counts). They didn't stand a chance!

that's why i am sad there is no combat log, later i found out that they just disabled it during beta.

again, this is my 2-3 day experience on a low lvl pvp, most of the time i could not figure the class of my opponents, maybe they were baddies or simply my class is just easymode-button-smash-kill type

I always imagine most of the players in open betas are casuals struggling to work out where the keybinds are and what their abilities actually do, nevermind put up a good fight in pvp.

And on top of that low level pvp really says nothing, people hardly know what their classes can do and only run about using those 1-2 skills at most. You're ace if you just happen to mash buttans in fast pace that actually do damage. I think situation had been otherwise if you'd been playing on an old US beta server vs lvl 50 people decked in epics.
