Well I haven't done any new hard modes, I've been leveling my new team: focus guardian, 2 watchman sents. This team is great at pvp and it's a lot of fun to play the lowbie warzones. I might have to go focus with my sents as well so that I can get my burst a little higher.

I played novare the other day against a team that had good healers and I couldn't DPS them down faster than they got healed. It was so frustrating to attack one guy with 3 Jedi knights and not be able to kill the dude. I think I might go all focus so that I can be self sufficient.

Edit: you never mentioned what server u were on...
