Jedi Sentinel

Control and focus are the hallmarks of the Jedi Sentinel. Through years of training the Sentinel learns the art of using two lightsabers simultaneously to create an intricate web of damage that is almost impossible to evade.

Class role

 * Advanced Class: Sentinel
 * Role: Melee Damage (DPS)
 * Armor: Medium
 * Weapons: Dual wield lightsaber
 * Primary Attribute(s): Strength, Endurance
 * Forms: Shii-Cho, Juyo, and Ataru
 * Roles: Close Range Damage Dealing. Wields dual Lightsabers

As with all classes, you will have the option to choose an advanced class after you leave your starting world and join with the Republic Fleet. Selecting the Sentinel class will lock your character into this advance Jedi Knight class for the rest of the game. The Sentinel advanced class fulfills the role of melee DPS; Sentinels are capable of providing temporary tanking through damage reduction abilities but are not intended to function in the tank or off-tank role. The Sentinel is capable of wearing medium and light armors, and the advanced class is distinguished by the ability to wield two lightsaber at once. The most important ability for the Jedi sentinel is strength.

In addition to the basic focus mechanic used by both the Sentinel and the Jedi Guardian, the Sentinel gains an additional mechanic called centering. Centering is is resource that is built in a number of ways and augmented by abilities in each of the tress. At 30 stacks of Centering, additional abilities are opened that consume the 30 stacks and provide powerful passive effects.
