It is mind reading. You're just guessing whether or not they did try to interrupt or they didn't. If you end up waiting longer after a fake cast in the hopes that they are slow to interrupt, you basically just put a full interrupt duration on yourself anyways and you might as well have just went along and all out casted the spell instead of faking.

Lol. This times twelve thousand. Since most players with interrupts are terrible clickers, their reaction times are slow and they will actually end up interrupting your next cast which you thought would be safe from interrupting. This isn't because they are good, it is actually because they are terrible, but you will still suffer the consequences. TL;DR: Fake casting is only useful against players that you know are GOOD, and even then, extremely good players have very quick reaction times and aren't fooled by fake casts and only interrupt at about 75% or more of cast time completed.

Who cares about level 50, right?

People whine about everything. People whine about sorcs/sages because their lightning/rocks, bubbles and healing are annoying. People whine about mers/commandos because the 1 button heroes are annoying. People whined about Ops because being stunned and 3 shotted was annoying. But now many people realize that those classes are only annoying and aren't OP like assassins and marauders are. If you still play this game when ranked WZs come out, get ready for the biggest whine fest you have ever seen about those two classes.

Lol at 15 seconds. That's without pvp gear and as the wrong spec

i'm still gonna assume things since all of what you said is anecdotal

I fake cast and all that nonsense and I know about the extra debuff to healing. I've healed for years in other games and I've never seen another class that had so much utility in general. Most maras spam interrupts on all the wrong casts so that isn't that big of a deal. My problem is with their damage and survivability.

I play a healer, kiting=not healing. But sure, I kite when I'm bored and it's one on one. I've killed plenty of terrible melee after about 4 minutes of running in large ovals and shooting them for pathetic damage. I've played mostly beast master and hunter classes in other games and kiting is non existent in this game because this game punishes ranged for kiting since almost all their damage abilities require cast times.

Ah, so you played a marauder, failed at it, and rerolled and you're the expert here? Don't think so bud

Marauders without their cooldowns are NOT easy to kill since they still have the highest DPS in the game. They can shred other classes very quickly.

Not even possible to have 500 expertise and 12k health broski

Yep, only idiots think maras aren't overpowered. Can't wait till ranked WZs where people will see maras dominate

I'm saying I wasn't hit by smash, you know, that attack that all the bad maras claim is their only attack that does any more damage than 15 points.

Implying it was a channeled attack

This game is garbage. The balance is awful, melee classes dominate, healers without tanks are trash, ranged are gimmicks, force users dominate non force users...the list goes on and on. I got stuck here for another month because the auto renew kicks in a day early.
