1.3 Class Nerfs/Buffs

What I find the most incredulous about all the people claiming that Marauders need any kind of nerf is that they are fundamentally unchanged since 1.2. BW reorganized some of our abilities to make Rage and Carnage more viable in PvP, and in fact, Annihilation was slightly nerfed in the process. The only real buffs we got in 1.2 were to Rage and Carnage specific abilities. The reason why most Marauders still use Anni is because when you're in a PUG (as most of us are) and can't count on there being a healer on your team, let alone one that will heal you and not just their Jugg buddy they queued up with, you at least have some longevity from your self-heals. No one likes spending most of the match respawning, but even with all our survivability tools, I still die LOTS more often than some other ACs.

Frankly, I'll lose all faith in BW's judgement if they pander to misinformed player QQ on this, and as bad as the game is right now due to widespread population issues that are so low their respective servers barely have a pulse, that's going to be the final nail in the coffin for me. I'm not about to reroll and go through the WH grind all over again just to appease some narcissistic player who's ego was bruised by one of the few times I managed to avoid getting killed in the space of a single CC.

The fact that you dont understand how guard works, you dont know the CDs on your own taunts, and you dont seem to understand what CC is leads me to believe with reasonable certainty that you are in fact terrible.


I also appreciated the irony of you stating that sheild generators are useless right before you go on to list 3 classes you deem FOTM, all three of which rely heavily on white damage and are as such mitigated by a sheild generator.

Yeah a 31/0/10 build and a 27/x/x build can both put out mad damage with dps gear... 4k+ shocks with 2k+ chain shock procs to drop 6k+ damage on a person in a global... Not very good at all in pvp.

Just to keep the trend going I hope they give operatives some random nerf for lulz.

Something that doesn't really matter but can still be called a nerf. Like just randomly reduce the range on corrosive dart from 30m to 28m.

"The range on corrosive dart was exactly 2m too far according to our metrics".

Errbody in the club gettin' nerfed.

Are you kidding me?! scoundrels dps is crap atm which is why all the scoundrels roll sawbones and just heal...

Are you seriously this stupid?

The CD on single target taunt is 15s, the CD on aoe taunt is 45s.

Guard effects all damage including tech and force.

Assassins/shadows have more CC than just mind trap/maze.

The two biggest abilities that people complain about on the forums (railshot and ravage) which come from PTs and marauders respectively (2 of the classes you listed as fotm) are mitigated by sheild generators.
I cant comprehend how you even play this game if you dont even know what your own abilities do.
