Finally had a chance to do some PVP post patch as a Sentinel GWF...

Gotta say, it's a huge improvement.
Restoring Strike + Unstoppable + PVP potions = great lulz on capture points.
You can now hold off a 3v1 with ease until your team arrives as back up. 2v1's are almost a sure win vs your average players.
Kudos Cryptic/PWE I truly enjoy playing my class in PVP again. Best part is, you don't have to rely on a knockdown focused build anymore.
Have fun everyone!
Edit: I use the 30% reduced CC / Deflection Runspeed passives as well as Takedown/Leap/Restoring Strike for encounters and Sure Strike/WMS for At-Wills.

Worst GF NA
He said WM, as in Weapon Master passive. The Sentinel feat that lets this grant 15% deflect (3% per stack) as well as a bonus 5 AC takes this passive from fantastic to godlike. Steel Grace is worthless when we can break CC with unstoppable.
I am 1v2ing, and 1v3ing some flags. And 1v1 is a joke most of the time as you reduce so much incoming damage with Deflection, heal a <font color="orange">HAMSTER</font> load w/Unstoppable + PvP gear, and still hit like a truck.
Good times baby, good times!
It's balanced because all classes have the same base HP
.
Which is ridiculous.
10% crit AND 15% deflect (with the feat). The average sentinel build that took the 5% deflect feat, slot bravery (15%) and weapon master with the feat (15%) would have at least 35% deflect without deflect on gear.
LOL. pvp gear
My 13k GS\4 tenebr gwf can burn pugs with 9k gs like nothing.. But as soon as u encounter same geared tr\cw ur in trouble.

I have, and I have lived. You seem to be forgetting that Sentinel build has a great deal of Deflect/Defense capabilities... Is it easy? No, but definitely doable. The TR/CW are not auto win. The only 'auto win' I've seen is the Stunlock Destroyer spec, and even that needs to be played flawlessly.
My statement about the 'PvP' gear was that even with low gear the Sentinel build was doing extremely well, which obviously only increases when you increase gear/enchants/etc.
By 'same gear' I meant ancient\AoW2Vig2\7 greater teneb vs ancient\Weaver\7 teneb and not ur pvp vendor stuff. Pvp gear gwf vs pvp gear cw is good, u can knock his socks off pretty easy if he's a usual dumbass who doesn't dodge our encounters.
But when ur loaded and CW is loaded u die before u can land a single encounter on him because as soon as he procs Eye of the storm he will **** u no matter unstoppable or not.
If u have have soulforged sloted u will get into melee and then fail to land every single encounter because pro CW will dodge them all no matter how u try(their animations are too slow).
As i said before - gwf is fun class to play that's for sure but he is no where near the big boys league. Shame rly.

Edit: Yes I know Ioun Stone doesn't go in PvP, just clarifying his full stats.
My, currently 10k, PvP geared Sentinel build is doing better overall then my 12k guy, simply based on the fact that Sentinel heals/deflects so much damage while still doing well. When he is fully tricked out it will get even more heinous. I'm saying, from experience, that PvP Sentinel is a legit build. Try it out, and/or face it, with the max available... You will be surprised at it's viability, I promise.
Maybe that is true but I reroled some time ago from my gwf to CW. All I have to do it press 4 buttons and someone dies....feels like god mode after gwf. Maybe will revisit gwf later on after ranger\warlock release cause I enjoyed playing GWF but when I make a premade guild pvp group I always felt like 1 more cw\tr\gf would be much better for the group.

However that said you can be extremely effective as a Sentinel now, and doesn't take much. In 4 pc PvP gear and crit/arp blues and epics everywhere else your tanky as hell and can do enough damage to kill. Sure strike hits pretty good when fully buffed, especially when you debuff with WMS, and the reduced cds on encounters make a huge difference. In fact I have sat on nodes with a wizard free casting on me till it caps multiple times, then gone after that said wizard and killed him... or /emote dancesnake'd. W/L since patch Pugging (yes pugs) is 42/4, and not saying that is entirely me, but a GWF playing the disrupter role and solo pulling 2,3,4.. the whole **** tean to one node make the other 4s job a lot easier on the 2 others.
Currently I run 2pc titan and 2 pc pvp, Crit/arp/power everywhere else, lesser tenebrous in offensive, lesser plaguefire, (still need to get a lesser soulforge or negation). My health is at 31k which even with lesser adds quite a bit of damage. Still even lesser tenebrous can be expensive for a lot of people for pvp (currently 50kish a pop x6 slots), but using ArP enchants can be just as effective if played right.
Thing is if I have 10mil to spend on pvp chants that means I have a lot more left over and paying 10 mil to smash ppl in pvp is worth it.

I'm not going to run head on into a CW just to get snared/repelled.
LoS is your friend.
