The Pros and Cons of a Marauder

Marauder is far from facerollish. It might be the farthest from actual facerollish there is. Takes way more keybind management. Sounds like you are just a bad jugg beating his head against the wall. I work about 50% harder to be adequate on my marauder then I ever did on my sorc and my sorcerer was a well above average pvp healer. I'm a better healer then marauder, honestly. I'm improving.

There are plenty of scenarios a Jugg can beat you, but they predicate timing of cooldowns and such.

and again, unless you are 1 vs 1 on a turret, there's almost no opportunity for 1 vs 1 in any arena but huttball, and if you're doing it in huttball, you are hurting your team because you're clearly away from the action if you're alone with someone

What hyup said too. Although I'm seeing there really is a sliding scale. It's not a matter of being good or bad. I am seeing in other mara's though that when they are bad, they are REALLY bad.

With myself, I'm seeing a pretty steady progression upward. Still not a great one, may never be, but I'm not a detriment to my team either

One thing you'll notice about all the nerf threads, is that people can only focus on the 'fact' that Marauder is god mode.

"DAMAGE DOTS SELF HEALING BEST DEFENSIVE CDs EVER OMG UNSTOPPABLE FORCE OF PAIN AND DEATH!!!"

Ask those people what the weakness of a marauder is. What will they say?

"THEY HAVE NO WEAKNESSES UR JUST A MARAUDER TRYING TO PROTECT YOUR GROSSLY OVERPOWERED CLASS FROM BEING NERFED!!!"

Derp derp derp. Bad players will be bad. Good players will learn from being beaten, learn from winning, adapt, and overcome.

This. PUGs are generally bad at helping healers. 4 man premades with a healer are usually more self aware. Honestly for me, it's not a matter of killing a healer. I find it's more useful to keep him alive, but not healing anyone but himself. If I end up wearing him down, great, but I put more of a priority of taking him out of the game.

Any team will trade a DPS to nullify a healer. I love all the interrupts I have at my disposal if I space them out intelligently, I can literally interrupt 8 casts in 30 seconds on the fly. I'm not DPSing much doing this, but that's not the point.

That's the best strat, because if you PUG, you're the only one beating on the healers. The PUGs are beating on the first person they see. And because of you, the first person they see isn't getting spammed with freecast heals.

This is my point exactly, Marauder/Sentinel nullify a healer and on top of that, pull 1 additional person away from objectives just to try and gain ground.

I only ever hear noobs cry about marauder; a good player of any class can face-roll maras on a bad day. Just because there are one or two mara that excel at playing their class it don't mean the class in general is OP.

Also, in regards to the fotm status of marauder, whose fault do you think that is?
Yours.

That's right. People who whine about mara's dps increase must be brain dead to not realize all dps are buffed through expertise. Everytime I pugged into a team with more than 3 maras i leave, cuz the majority of them still sucks. And these noobs come on forum and tell everyone how godlike maras are and evey gullible mofo is tricked into thinking mara is some face-rolling derp class you can just pick up and play.

Well, you can't.

I always thought merc is a brain dead OP class, well i picked it up recently and I sucked at it. It's the same with operative. If you think maras are so op, play the class and shut up, instead of coming here to whine about how op they are. If you're under the delusion that you gain some kind of self-respect to not play the class that you think is OP, then don't whine because you're just being a little hypocrite.

Pretty sure I'd rather trade a marauder for a healer.

3 healers on 1 team > 3 mara on 1 team.

Come play on Delborra Aussie server and you'll see how one guild full of healers with a few dps dominate the wz.

You sir, should stop talking about the facts.

They have no place on a forum like this

what you described as mobility means a Sent/Marauder has even MORE mobility then PT/Vans,,hell every class has a mobile spec except sages really..

alot of people think mobility means that a class is hard to control using a snare/root/stun IE immunes etc
