BioWare just informed that players now can test and give initial feedback on the planned updated Mercenary, Powertech, Juggernaut, and Marauder Combat Styles on the Public Test Server (PTS). Note that the Jedi Guardian, Sentinel, Sniper, Operative, Assassin, and Sorcerer Combat Styles are still available for players to experience on PTS. In the Sith Warrior and Bounty Hunter’s current state, there is quite a bit to learn and memorize–you need to understand active abilities, passive modifiers, selectable utilities, and how they all work together. Our goal is to make these relationships clearer and easier to understand, while also ensuring that the class retains its identity. To achieve these goals, we are identifying key aspects of the Mercenary, Powertech, Juggernaut, and Marauder to understand how players both perceive and utilize the classes’ abilities. Our focus is to equip the player with knowledge and understanding of these abilities so they can make…

The Lord Of Pain Darth Sion: A Star Wars Story
Here’s another Star Wars story from The Scoundrel’s Cantina. It was first published back in Dec of 2016, but if you missed it back then, you can still give it a watch. We highly recommend any of these videos from the Scoundrel’s Cantina. They really know their Star Wars stuff, and the videos are well made. They’re entertaining, and very informative as you are sure to learn something new in every one you watch, even if you’re already a super fan. This one is all about another famous Darth – the Lord of Pain Darth Sion. He’s not as well known to your layperson as far as Darths go, but he has an interesting and deep history that is explored fully in this video. They use a mix of both the Expanded Universe and the “Official” Star Wars Canon. He was a human who became a Sith Maurader in the war. Rather than…
SWTOR: Class Changes: Fury Marauder / Concentration Sentinel
Here are the changes for Fury and Concentration coming in Star Wars: The old Republic game update 5.4. Note: All changes below are currently in development and are subject to change before being released. Marauder Fury Increased the damage done by Bloody Slashes by 35% Sentinel Concentration Increased the damage done by Burning Slices by 35% DevNotes: The Fury / Concentration discipline only needed a small boost to bring it up to its target DPS, so increasing the damage dealt by Bloody Slashes / Burning Slices was all it took to do the trick.
SWTOR Patch 3.2.1 Sentinel and Marauder Changes
BioWare have started several discussion threads on the official SWTOR forums, to discuss upcoming changes to Sentinel and Marauder. As far as we know, players can expect quite a few changes comming with patch 3.2.1, and the game developers are trying to explain why. Here are the news from SWTOR System Designer John Jarynowski: 3.2.1 Marauder/Sentinel Insight: Defensive Forms | 05.06.2015, 02:42 PM Hey everyone, We’ve been following the discussions regarding the Annihilation/Watchman changes since the last PTS patch, and I wanted to take a moment to lend some insight on a few points and discuss potential improvements. We will start by discussing the 3.2.1 changes to Defensive Forms. Defensive Forms: We know that this has been a sensitive topic for some time and found it pertinent to reassess the Utility and expand its functionality. By dividing the original buffs among multiple Utilities and removing the stance requirement, we aim to…
SWTOR Update on Sentinel and Marauders
Eric Musco posted an update on the official forums regarding Sentinels and Marauders for PvP: Update on Sentinel and Marauder | 04.06.2015, 03:00 PM Hey folks, I know that some of you have been waiting for a status update on Maras/Sents, especially for PvP. Here is some info from the Combat team. — Hello everyone, We would like to take this opportunity to discuss Marauders/Sentinels and their present state in the game. To do so, we wish to start by outlining the rotational design philosophies of the three Marauder/Sentinel rotations. Carnage/Combat: Low Rotation Difficulty, Moderate Burst and Moderate Sustained Damage Annihilation/Watchman: High Rotation Difficulty, High Sustained and Low Burst Damage Fury/Concentration: Moderate Rotation Difficulty, High Burst and Low Sustained Damage Marauder/Sentinel PvP Viability: As it presently stands, Carnage/Combat and Annihilation/Watchman are performing well in Solo Ranked and Group Ranked PvP, respectively. We target a 50% win rate for each Discipline in PvP, and…
Marauder/Sentinel Feedback Thread
SWTOR System Designer John Jarynowski is asking the Star Wars The old republic community for feedback on the Sith Marauder and the Jedi Sentinel. Check out the post below: Following the changes to Marauders/Sentinels on PTS, we’re once again reaching out to the community for perspectives, opinions, and progressive ideas. For this thread, we are looking for feedback on Marauders/Sentinels, specifically where it relates to DPS and survivability. Please be as informative as possible with examples from your experiences. The more detailed and focused the feedback, the easier it is for us to understand and evaluate your viewpoints. Let us know what you think! -John Jedi Knight Sentinel Just Pursuit has been redesigned: Leg Slash immobilizes the target for 3 seconds. This immobilizing effect cannot be applied to the same target more than once every 10 seconds. Removed the Stagger Skillful Utility. New Skillful Utility: Reining Reach. Reining Reach increases the…
SWTOR: Marauder and Sentinel changes coming in game update 3.1.1
Star Wars: The old Republic won’t see any changes to Marauder and Sentinel with game update 3.1, but rather 3.1.1. While this is not news worthy in it self, we find it quite interesting That Eric Musco posted this update. BioWare does not usually provide set patch dates for specific class changes, but there is a first time for everything I guess. Check out the forum update below: Sentinel and Marauder Changes | 01.16.2015, 09:45 AM Hey folks, We know there has been concern from the Sentinel and Marauder community about the status of their class, and when they might be receiving changes. Sents and Maras will see changes in update 3.1.1. As a secondary note, it is our plan that in some cases we will also put our minor patches (such as 3.1.1) on PTS. This way we can get some additional testing, especially around class changes. Thanks everyone! -eric
