Sith Assasin or Jedi watchman

[sangero]

I was wondering which one can take combat better i want a prestige class that can go with my jedi sentinel that wont need stealth. I want a good class that can take the dmg from enemies pretty good with robes on.

Sith marauder for best combat.

The choice is largely dependant on alignment. Other than that, they are fairly equal. The assassin gets more sneak damage, and +6 to dex with sentnel base class which imrpoves defense and attack bonus, if you have weapon finesse. The watchmen gets more feats and a +6 bonus to con for more vitality.

 

IMHO, both classes are better suited to consulars who can really mmaximize the efficiency of all that sneak damage. A fighting sentinel would do better as a maurauder or weaponmaster. If you want to retain casting ability, just do consular as a base class, and raise wisdom to 14-16. That should be good enough.

dude How to you get +6 dexterity. It shows as +3. And I assume you mean by being full dark side buy this attributes bonus.

[mr_raider]

+3 for sentinel, +3 for assasin DS mastery.

Marauder is good for what you want. You get lots of feats and you don't need stealth so it's a cross class skill. Even better than Sentinal is a Guardian/Marauder turned Weapon Master. That way you have the plus 6 strength bonus from rage and the 6 from Guardian and Weapon Master. That is if you can find a reason to turn to the Light Side.

I thought that power became useless if you turned lightside. Or maybe that was some of the other darkside powers.

[mr_raider]

Nah. Fury works as LSer. LS Maurauders are massively powerful fighter. The strength bonus you get is nothing short of spectacular.

 

Inspire followers/crush opposition doesn't work when you switch alignments.

[Sturm]

German soldier for the win.

[James Dunn]

Watchman has better saves than any other class in the game.

+3 for sentinel, +3 for assasin DS mastery.

Yeah but no matter what only 3 shows up so it's only 3 dude.

[alanschu]

Only 3 shows up, but you definitely get it for both of them.

 

I noticed it when I got an addition +3 when I got my prestige class.

[OverPowered Godzilla (OPG)]

yeah when i got my prestiage class it showed up as only plus 3.

[alanschu]

It's a bug in the game.

 

Whether or not you're only supposed to get +3, or if it is supposed to say +6, your attributes are improved by +6.

 

+3 for the main class, +3 for the prestige class.

If you don't want Stealth, then don't do Watchman/Assasin. You'll do better with Weapon Master/Marauder, as they are suited for combat specifically.

[vaxen83]

If you use Assassin, could utilise Sneak Attack X with Master Critical Strike for stun effect (high Str), or perhaps with Insanity (high Wis), following up with Power Attacks or Master Flurry. Neither of these need Stealth at all. A bit of damage reduction force powers are like Master Force Barrier/Master Energy Resistance.
