So it seems like nobody ever mentions the carnage spec; just how you should go annihilate and not rage for marauders. I personally choose to go carnage from the beginning because of that sticky forum (http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=72872) describing the specs and said it was good. I enjoy it and regularly place very high in PVP. I am 44 so I understand things have high potential to change when I am 50... All that being said my (Q) is whether or not it is still a commonly held belief to not go carnage for a marauder? I do hope not.

I'm only 41 so I can't say that wont or will happen. I think the highest I've seen from myself is around 2.7k. This is without really using stems and my gear may be up to full pvp. but I'm not 50 so I don't spend any money on gear. questing doesn't really call for extreme gear.

So far the most ****** medal I have gotten is the Demolisher. 2.5k single hit. Felt good, wanted to share.

Dude your level 30 wasting your time on here complaining about all your problems. You have said yourself about people saying it gets better when you get to the higher levels. I remember when I was >30 I was annoyed at how easily i was getting beat up by people. Now I'm 40 and everything has turned around. I hardly ever place less than 3rd in kills and damage. Instead of wasting your time on here complaining you could be leveling and learning your class. Get to 50 and then if you still have problems come back and you maybe will have a valid argument.
