The Pros and Cons of a Marauder

Don't confuse control with mobility and act all uppity about it like you know what you're talking about. Advanced Prototype is a mobility spec, not Pyrotech.

1v1 we lose to a lot of clsses: Juggs, Ops and Tank sins.

Nah they all rolled Marauders

Nobody is blaming you for playing a Marauder or a PT. But, to disagree that they need to be tweaked slighty is just...

Crazy talk. Look at it from an open perspective and tell us honestly. Should there not be some tweaking??

What needs to be tweaked?

Bad players need to learn how to play. That's the problem. it's amazing that every class/spec I play, I manage to dominate people. And there are plenty of people out there that do the same thing.

The problem with the PvP forums, is that I can almost guarantee that 90% of the people here lead with a stun when they run into battle. DERP. Or they are Mercs that decide it's a good idea to fight a Marauder without a terrain advantage while misusing cooldowns, and cry foul when they get owned.

People do NOT know how to play their own class, let alone how to fight specific other classes. Most everyone here fights a Marauder like they fight an Operative like they fight a Sorc. Button mash with no priority or rotation - stun stun stun - button mash - "OMG I'm gonna dieeeeeeee" - try to run away - die.

How often during a game do you sit and cast something?

I don't know why you are arguing about this.

Plenty. When non-bads CC/root/slow me and get more than 10m away from me. That's when my uber mobility kicks in, right?

10s off the CD of Grapple, 15% run speed boost in combat, 8s of movement impairing immunity +30% run speed. That's mobility.

I play a bodyguard merc, please list out a tabletop version of how I should defend myself against either of those classes.

Teamplay? Good luck!

Burst classes are doing burst damage to you and if they don't suck, interrupting your heals? Crazy! And who is protecting you? Good players peel. Where is your peel?

Now, from my post, you could think I am nit-picking and concidering dual wielders unkillable. I'm not, I killed them many times, and I've seen them die many times too. But it's really hard not to nitpick here, because dual-wielder defenders make such general statements (like "My class is weak, because everyone mezz and root me!" ) that it's hard not to. Concider this: you are getting rooted and ganked by one reason only: people are afraid of you and your damage. And that's a thing to think about when it comes to balancing classes.

A burst dps class vs a burst healer. Should be a fair fight right? Well hardly.

Please try and peel a good Marauder. Please. I will pay you to switch to my server and stand beside me.
