Maybe it's because I play a Kinetic Shadow, but this is one of the first games where I've legitimately enjoyed queuing for pvp matches. Nothing will beat old school open world EQ2 pvp for me though. That was my pvp cherry and I wish I'd gotten introduced to it back in EQ1, even if it would have been past it's glory days.
And is it just me or does Sentinel just faceroll good dps? I'm only 26 on mine and everytime I queue for pvp, I rape faces. No idea what the hell I'm doing, but I'm doing it well apparently.

Playing a Sent as well.
I still need to queue for PvP. What rotation are you using? I am 36 now. I'll be playing tonight. I still have no clue what centering does or when to press certain buttons. A majority of time I am building up focus and mashing a few damage keys and using interrupts when needed.

I'm spec'd Watchman atm for the 0m Force Leap, because it makes me giggle just jumping all over the damn place. I don't have a solid rotation yet, kind of in the same ballpark, just get focus up and mash buttons = winning lol. That's why it surprises me, most everything else I've played really has a solid rotation that definitively improves your performance and if you aren't following that you can usually feel the combat speed grind to a hault, but my Sent just chews through stuff whatever buttons I'm mashing. Thus far I've really only played my Shadow and a Commando, so the pure dps subclass is new to me.
I think my Sent is going to get a lot of love soon though, for two reasons. Keep seeing people praise the story on JK, and my group already has an end game main tank lined up plus I hate the dps trees for Shadow. They lack a lot of what I enjoy most about playing Kinetic, aka the swarms of Project chunks bludgeoning my opponents to death and if I'm getting hit, infinite energy. So once I hit 55 might swing focus to a pure dps to fill out our group a little better. We have someone else with another Shadow that has been running mostly Infiltration, a Commando, Sage, and Guardian who is our MT that's already mostly Ops geared.
Once I make a more permanent switch to Sent I'll hop over to noxxic or something and get a run down on a rotation etc. Just finished my Consular's Chapter 3, so I'll be jonesing for some class story soon.

Don't use Noxxic, they are inaccurate and out of date. Dulfy's site has decent enough level 55 guides (updated for 2.7 patch, not sure about 2.8) which you can at least get an idea of what all the abilities are and spec trees:

sents/marauders take a bit of practice, they are prolly the hardest dps to play well IMO, the new version of right tree shadow/assassin is a bit rough as well but is currently putting out the best dps in the game (not me but a friend)http://i.imgur.com/taGsmZw.jpg.
I recently started playing a middle tree jugg, its pretty much the easiest class to pvp with.

Jesus, four healers. 2400 DPS is unrealistic except in that extreme circumstance. Full Voidstar, no death, dot class spreading damage everywhere. Plus, when you don't need to worry about watching an objective and can go full tilt, it's like Christmas for a DPS.
Also +1 for Dulfy's guides.
For Sent, you're doing yourself a disservice by not considering Combat. They are sick.

Pre 55 the majority of players are awful. If you know how to play your class/build, and put a little bit of focus on your gear, you will absolutely destroy everyone in PvP. It doesn't matter what class you play. It's really a lot of fun. My Sage was like a raid boss in BGs.. I was a little sad when I dinged 55 and got brought back down to earth..

yeah. For fun I have a BH and Sorc that I never quest or xp with, just pvp. Can't use them during double xp weekends/weeks either. They make me feel godlike. Pretty much every single class drastically changes at 55.

I really wanted to love SWTOR. I loved the leveling, some of the BGs were pretty fuckin cool, and even the instances were halfway interesting. I totally dug the flight missions too. At the end of the day though, it was mostly unplayable. Their ability delay, whatever you want to call it, was the most irritating thing I've ever dealt with in an MMO. More than any other game I've played, I thought SWTOR was as close as it was going to get to achieving WoW numbers. Shit just wasn't polished enough. Or even close to it, really.

You are almost successful in making me try PvP now. Almost. Last time I PvP'ed was in arena during WotLK.
Is Agent (Operative) good in PvP? Consider me an average player.

Pre-55? An average player can do well. Concealment is good burst and as long you know your triggers you can pump out a lot of damage. Op healers are some of the best in the game, hard to kill. At 55? Being average is a recipe for pain. But don't worry, chances are you'll get paired up with 5-7 other average people so you won't be alone.
Ilum is hoppin'. I honestly don't recall it being this busy last time around. Lot's of rage though. So much rage.

You may want to give it another shot since it is free now anyway. You will be preferred, and the ability delay is gone for the most part. I have not experienced any. Especially if you like the class stories. That's really all I am playing right now, with an occasional flashpoint. Also, thanks for that duffy link. I adjusted my rotation while leveling, and now that I have my healer companion I am dishing out some major damage. I was doing it all wrong before, even in the wrong form.

Operatives pretty solid for PvP, they are at their best when they are healing. I do expect to see a gaggle of lethality operatives soon, they said they would be tweaking that tree because it is the least played in the game, its actually pretty solid even it is current form. As long as you can pull around 800dps and about 1300hps you are doing a decent job in a wz

Yeah Illum is quite alive and General chat is something to behold. Random rage quit suicide note-esque, I'm logging out messages are lulz. With the Gree event going, on my server, Imp Guilds have roving gank trains, and tactical camps on all the hot spots. It is funny to me, on my server you don't see that from the republic side, maybe some slapdash on the spot "hey lets make a group so we can survive more than 5 sec and get our daily done", but there were 2 guilds on Imp side last night just locking that shit down for the lulz I guess. Another reason Shadow is fun, I just stealthed through everything, and would wait to charge the pylons for the one pvp daily, till the gank horde was distracted by a group. Was a lot of fun, a little frustrating, and worth the qq'ing in general chat alone.
Yeah, I checked out Dulfy and adjusted myself on my Sent. He's not high enough yet for a real rotation, but I've got priority down at least, and I melt faces even more now. Gonna be sad when I hit 55 and have to really get good at PVP to keep doing it. A few of the maps are so much fun and I even enjoy huttball. Actually I think I like huttball the best sometimes, everyones focused actually playing, I'm just an agent of chaos here to force leap in and fuck peoples days up.

I didn't even have overload saber on my hotbar. (Ouch). So now instead of hitting random buttons in Shii-Cho form, I am actually now overloading, Master Striking, Cauterizing, and Force Jump and Zealous Strikes for focus. With Doc behind me I am now ripping things apart. Which is so much more fun than what I was doing before which was hammering focus builds and then master strike and slash! (I really suck)
In other words, that guide saved me.

2.9 to PTS tomorrow. Release is 8/19. Turnaround to 2.10 is going to be fast, like three weeks.
50 million credits for the guild flagship. It's a lot but it's reasonable considering you would only need 1m each if you had 50 members and 1m is retardedly easy to make.
