I just restarted playing recently and I’m new to Marauder, I’m playing fury atm. How good in PvP are they in comparison to other DPS classes? What spec is best for PvP?

I have started a Mara....I have decided to spend most of my time on him. I just don't see the point of being any other DPS other than Powertech pyro or a Mara unless there are changes soon. Oh well I almost went Mara at release anyway. edit: Sniper would be another good route to go because they kind of "counter" pyros and maras.

With the talent and the fact that they only use it when they take damage is where he gets the "almost always up" comment from...should have been obvious. Although I agree even talented to say "always up" is an exaggeration. I wish my heal merc could have this talent...

25% less damage on at pretty much all times is still awesome. You say 12 secs but if it is on almost all the time then the duration don't matter anymore does it.

Snipers are fine, nerf Sentinels and Pyros specs. kthx

Don't care if they put in punishment for quitting as long as they let me que for the game I want to play. I know its a crazy idea to let me do what I find fun in the MMO that I pay $14.99 a month for... If they put in punishment and I am forced to play huttball, then I will personally make it my quest to defeat the fire hazard, and I don't care how many deaths it takes me or how many losses I am responsible for I will run into the fire until it is defeated!!!!!

I would argue that the faster you cast the sooner you can move. Stationary in a RWZ = death. Cast and move, cast and move, this is why BW gave us rapid shots. Fast casts, move while shooting rapids shots for small heal and reduce heat means you survive longer. But maybe I don't know what I'm talking about...

They should just instance illum, everything else is anyway. Maybe allow 20 V. 20 or 15 v. 15? They could turn the bases into sieges and give comms as rewards. Wouldn't quite be open world seeing it would be instanced but it would be close.

But this is like saying if all other factors are equal and one tank has 1400 STR and the second tank has 1399 STR....who wins? Well if everything is literally equal including the number of crits they get etc. then the guy with 1 more STR wins....BECAUSE EVERYTHING ELSE IS EQUAL INCLUDING SKILL! But Skill is never equal, number of crits even with exact same crit chance is still luck based, so things are not going to be that way. Add in the fact that this game is based on team play and now you have a situation where a recruit geared person is contributing. If you are in recruit gear stay with your team and hang back a bit. Focus fire kills everyone you just go down quicker. It does not take that long to build up BM gear. Just be happy that you don't have to grind arena's every day to get ranking to get gear that will then be worthless the next season. Honestly this MMO allows the PvP gear to be earned at a pretty fast rate. Recruit gear is free! BM is 1 to 2 weeks depending on how much you play. WH gear is not a huge gap from BM gear and if you don't want to do rateds you can compete and have fun in regular WZs and convert to ranked comms to build up some WH before doing rateds. Also note this is only pre-season and won't matter when season 1 starts. I have been PuGin in rateds and I get ***** over and over (full BM 1 piece of WH gear) but if my team at least tried I usually get enough ranked comms to make it worth it. Do your daily every day for the 100 ranked comms, the weekly will get you 300 ranked. Convert all comms once you get your BM to rated and do as many rateds as you can stomach. It's not hard and the grind is minimal. Also because WH gear takes time to get fully augment ALL of your BM gear. If you augment for your main stat these augs also come with endurance and you can get to about 17k-18k HP depending on your class/spec. Good Luck.

Honestly I hate quitting any WZ cause it puts the team at a disadvantage if no one joins quickly....but I have played since early release without quitting huttball and I just can't stand to play this WZ any more. /shrug

I already stated the purpose but why not say it again....in hopes that BW allows us to choose our WZ. As you can see I don't like huttball and others don't like Alderaan, man if only we could choose our WZ. But hey thanks for posting before reading. Perhaps they will do nothing, maybe if we continue to ask for it they will give it, ya never know.

Sounds like a cool Raid....

When the environment can almost instantly kill me from 100% HP it is not fun. Of course they SHOULD use it because it is available. But it is not fun. Difference of opinion I only post hoping BW allows us to choose our WZs.

Huttball has 8 total fires, 2 acid pits, pulls are 30m, my problem is that this is not PvP, it is Player vs. Environment. I have 2 50s one is a tank assassin so I have the same opportunity for fire/acid kills like any other player but this is not fun. It's PvE not PvP. Im not bagging on you for liking it though. I just don't see the point. Please BW allow us to choose our WZs.

I know many of you like huttball but I cannot stand this WZ any more. It never was fun. My solution is this. From now on when I get a huttball Que I am quitting the WZ instantly. I'm sorry but I can't stand huttball any more I refuse to do something in a game that is not fun. The only reason I play is for fun and this is not fun. Good bye huttball and good riddance.
