Jedi Knight Specializations In Star Wars The Old Republic

BioWare recently announced two specializations to the Jedi Knight class, the Sentinel, and the Guardian. Brief descriptions of each have been released. These help to illustrate what possible MMO archetypical roles the specializations will fit into.

The Sentinel dual wields light sabers, creating a barrage of damage that is hard for foes to evade. Moreover, they can measure their own technique against their enemies defense, and make adjustments on the fly. This sounds like an all out DPS class that will have different tricks to ensure their damage output stays high.

The Guardian uses his perfect concentration to withstand the onslaught of multiple enemies at once. He dares opponents to attack, and inspires allies to perform beyond their normal abilities. His mastery of the force allows him to evade enemies despite the weight of his armor. The Guardian seems to be a traditional tanking class. Also, they will provide buffs to party members to inflate their stats for battle.
