Sentinel/Marauder Advanced Class Guide

Welcome to the Sentinel/Marauder Advanced Class Guide! This is the go-to compendium of knowledge for The Fanatical Swordsman on the Sentinel and Marauder advanced classes.

LAST UPDATE: Update 2.3

Note from Geldarion: The Sentinel is my 3rd level 50, but it is actually one of my favorite PvP playstyles I have encountered. For readability sake, since I am used to the Sentinel, I will use the term Sentinel occasionally as the overall descriptor of this class-type, especially for things that are true of both classes, such as discussions of general tactics. However, I will refer to the specializations by both their names, and I will show builds for both the Sentinel and the Marauder, and I will refer to skills in a manner as such: Jedi Knight skill name/Sith Warrior skill name.

Yes, my guild on Imp side is called Jawa Punchers.

Yes, it is offensive to Jawas everywhere.

Yes, half of the guildies were drunk when we picked it (I was just tired).

And yes, you are jealous and waiting for the time when you can rename your guild.

Enjoy this picture of ChipChops making his guild proud!

PvP Talent Build: AoE, Force Shii-Cho Sentinel – 5/2/34

May 31, 2012 Geldarion 4 comments

LAST UDPATE: Update 1.4

This is a PvP build for the Sentinel. It will mainly focus on the Combat specialization tree.

Note: This build was created with the Darth Hater Talent Calculator. The link to view this build is here. The associated Marauder build is here.

Class: Sentinel
Primary Focus: Focus
Secondary Focus: Watchman
Purpose: PvP
Goal: This build is about massive AoE attacks, using Force attacks, slightly longer-range fighting, and slows. This build also grants Zealous Leap, which costs Focus, has a shorter range than Force Leap, but hits very hard and procs effects that make you a powerhouse of AoE damage.

All points allocated are the maximum allowed for each ability, unless otherwise noted.
