Well, the skills are the one and only reason to ever use a Sentinel, anyway. You'll only need Computer Use, Repair, Persuade and perhaps Awareness, though - and those can be taken by any other class, especially Guardians since they have a ton of feats to burn. And I don't remember the last battle being THAT tough. Male Consulars can crank their defense high enough that the TK sabers can't land a hit on you, and if you're a darksider, you can just spam Force Crush and wipe the floor with her. Force Plague also works nicely. |
Sentinels were also handy in the original (where skills meant squat) because of their immunity to Fear, which every Sith used at least once per battle. It annoyed me to waste three rounds, so I went with the Sentinel. Also, that let me have a party of one Sentinel, one Guardian, and one Consular. I liked the elegance of that arrangement.
In this game though, all the other skills save for Stealth are useful at least once, and being a LS perfectionist, I must be able to do anything and everything. I freely admit that it's the weakest combat class though.
