Jedi Sentinel Builds
(updated for 1.2)
Jedi Knights in SWTOR can become one of two advanced classes at level 10, a Guardian (Tank / DPS Class) or a Sentinel (Melee DPS Class). The Sentinel uses two light sabers to do high melee dps. Sentinels have three trees to choose talents from: Watchman (DPS tree), Combat (DPS tree) and Focus (a shared DPS tree shared with the Guardian Class).
Below I will list the best sentinel builds to use for your jedi knight so you do not have to waste valuble play time figuring out what jedi sentinel builds work :)
If you wish to submit a sentinel build please email it to admin@sentinelbuilds.com. When you email in your build please have a link to your build, clearly list what it is for and any other relevant information I should know about this sentinel build.
