Hey man. I couldn't see it in the Vid but do you wait for teh Execute Proc and then pop Gore and follow up with a Force Scream? That's what I used to do as a Carnage Marauder and I did quite well.

 

yup at 2:31 and 8:23 :D on a sage and merc respectively

cool. That does a ******** of DMG in two short abilities and speaks to the strength of the Carnage Marauder. Now do you play around with Mods or do you just use the generic ones?

 

Personally I tried to emphesise Crit Chance and Surge, now for FS I know you don't need the Crit Chance, since it's an auto crit, but for all the other in the tree I like having the Crit Chance. But lately I questioned the use of Surge and thought about switching to Power what do you think? I took a brake from Carnage because of this reason, with my current gear build (this applies to the regular mods in the WH gear) the dmg just wasn't there. So I switched to Anni where my Mods do wonders.

i had the exact same debate, atm i have 30% crit buffed and around 850 power and surge at 75%, ive been stacking power mods whenever i can find them , i reccomend getting 2 war hero vindicator light sabres, it has some good mods and enchantments with power in it , you can later trade these in for the elite war hero version(for your off hand just pull the mods out and put it in a custom built offhand) , and then you now have upgraded sabres and some extra mods and enchantments to play around with, also some BM pieces , i cant remeber, which exactly have some nice power mods as well +37 power ones, you can use that as well.

Dude I gotta say: You're the best Carnage Marauder I've ever seen.

 

 

And which Set Bonus do you favor as the best? I feel like the 4 pc Vindi Set bonus far outplays the Weaponmaster one. The 10 precent dmg bonus gives your ravage even better damage.

I am sorry to learn about your RL issues. Hopefully these issues are merely routine and nothing untoward.

 

As far as your video, it was amazing. I was wondering how you would deal with Assault Vanguards/pyro powertechs? Also, do concealment operatives give you problems?

Glad to see that everything is fine.

 

Looking forward to part 3 of your guide. I learned things from the first two, and I have been playing my Sentinel for a while now, though not Combat/Carnage as much.

 

I would love to know how you take down Operatives who have better reactions. Your timing is impeccable but, with respect, that one operative you fought should have cleansed the burn before he used his 3 minute cooldown. He also failed to use his 100% dodge chance during your ravage and he failed to use his shield that absorbs damage (forget what it is called). I am sure he panicked. I probably would have too. Most people have difficulty with Snipers. I can usually handle snipers. Operatives give me problems. Any advice against some of the best Operatives would be a huge boon.

 

Thank you. Great second part to your video.

yeah i know what you mean we have this legendary dps scoundrel on our server, for the longest time when iwas in recruit bm mix i would fear this guy he had min maxed wh with 660 bonus dmg, crazy burst, getting ganked by him over and over again kinda increased my reaction speed, the opener remains the same, if you get opened use roar, when he pops dodge hold him in place with force choke and use your dot as soon as choke ends, then follow with a root and continue dps, if he dispells the DoT and stealth immediately use a smash to bring him out of it, ill see if i can get a few duels going with him so you can see what i mean.
