Marauders /Sentinels are the only Classes in 5.9 that are receiving slightly different changes than the other Classes this patch so I wanted to call them out separately. Here are the changes: Maurader The Ruthless Aggressor utility has been changed so that activating Obfuscate temporarily yields a 75% increase in damage reduction for Force and tech attacks instead of a 75% chance to resist all Force and tech attacks. Fury Reduced the damage done by Bloody Slashes by 18.5% Sentinel The Zealous Judgment utility has been changed so that activating Pacify temporarily yields a 75% increase in damage reduction for Force and tech attacks instead of a 75% chance to resist all Force and tech attacks. Concentration Reduced the damage done by Burning Slices by 18.5% We are making two changes. First, following last year’s balance pass, these Classes are still slightly overperforming. The change to Bloody Slashes / Burning…

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

TOR TV: The Five Rules of Sentinel
Ever party up with a noob Sentinel? How frustrating is it to do a run with someone who doesn’t seem to know what they are doing in the game or with their class? It happens to all of us. You can get mad or rage, or you can get a good laugh out of it. Everyone’s gotta learn somehow, right? We love this video from Outbreak Guild and have to pass it on to you. The next time you have a bad sentinel in your group, consider sending them this video: The Five Rules of Sentinel Rule 1: Always engage boss fights before the tank. Rule 2: If you die, remember to blame the healer. It’s always their fault. We don’t want to ruin it for you so check out the video for yourself with the rest of the rules. But let me tell you, that 3, 4, and 5…
Assassin / Shadow Top 3 Answers
Here are the top 3 Assassin / Shadow Answers: Madness in PvP The Madness Assassin has been grossly revamped from its original state pre-xpac, which in turn has caused many players to become repulsed by its current playstyle. Due to the changes, Madness also suffered a dramatic hit in PvP, losing access to its Insta-Whirlwind utility and the loss of Maul procs which also goes to hurt its burst potential. In addition, the spec suffers from being far too easy to kill (having no true stealth benefits) with no real execution power to actually down targets beyond fluff damage, therefore making it seemingly a useless fighter on the field in comparison to what other classes / specs can do. With no team utility, lack of kill power and absurdly low survivability, what exactly is the purpose of a Madness Assassin on the battlefield? Are there any plans to alter or…
Star Wars Facts: The Three Branches of the Jedi Order
The Jedi Order was an ancient and noble monastic peacekeeping organization unified by its belief and observance of the Force. The Jedi were the guardians of peace and justice in the Galactic Republic, and became the most famous of the various groups that relied on the Force for their power. Led by a series of Jedi Councils, the Order grew over the millennia despite facing many trials, most often threats from the Sith, wielders of the dark side of the Force. For a full reading about the Jedi order check out our article about them here. Below is a walk through of the Three Branches of the Jedi Order: The Sentinels Jedi Sentinels were often considered a blend between the Consulars and the Guardians. However they were more than that. Whilst the other branches focused on what they could achieve with Force powers or Lightsabers Sentinels realised that the Force…
