    Hey, guys... Can you tell me about the pros and the cons of both advanced classes (the guardians and the sentinels)? Like, for example, which one gets the coolest gear?

    I'm leaning towards the Guardian because it can get Force Push, and I find that really awesome, but I'm also curious to find out your opinions about these two classes...

    Sentinels are all about burst DPS, Guardians are more versatile and can lay down sustained DPS while having some crowd control ability. Guardians you can switch back and forth between DPS and tank, while Sentinels can only ever be DPS. You would still have to grind up gear for both specs though.

    I simply love how Sentinels can dual-wield lightsabers, and their high DPS suits my playstyle.

    I think that Guardians are more resilient then Sentinels and survive longer if you come under fire a lot. I currently level a Guardian and never had much problems with mobs. Though the Sentinel is indeed way more awesome to look at, with his dual sabers.

    I always liked the endurance that Guardians had more than Sentinels. Sentinels are really cool with their DW abilities and look a little cooler, but gameplay is all Guardian for me.
