Marauder:
now has free force scream in smash, previously only for juggs
now has less health used undying rage
now only needs 3 stacks to get a full 2x damage smash crit

and the nerf:
now gets +15% crit damage to everything instead of +30% crit damage to just smash
force choke no longer adds stacks of shockwave

You missed one. "Stasis no longer builds stacks" should be in the nerf column.

Rage was a AOE tree and that's it. Everyone screamed nerf nerf. They nerfed the damage on smash.
They gave these people a chance in fighting by increasing crit. So what ?

and this:

You should also reword the crit mutiplier statement. 30% was on all Force attacks. Scream is a powerful force attack, but the funny part is, they made both AC's more deadly now, and the "Smash" nerf amounts to little when you are still hitting people for around 4-5k... Easily still one of the best burst attacks in the game, AOE or not. and now MS/RAV VS/SLA get a buff?

We are being seriousinged.....

They always had this.
And -25% hp used when activating gbtf doesn't make any sense, as you are still only using it when having low hp.

And don't forget they get a 9% damage buff on all attacks for 6 seconds after using smash.
What we don't understand, we can make mean anything.

You also forgot that after the first Sweep/Smash they have a more or less permanent 9% damage increase (lasts 18 seconds, but sweep is on a 15s cooldown which you can lower with slash which you should be slashing).

I think that should change. Give I'd a way to make it back with choke or stasis. At least that can be interrupted.

Just my thoughts. And I play a sentinel.
