Melee attacks are 4m not ten. That's over twice the distance of melee attacks.

I've often wonder why mmo companies don't put out regular expansions like EQ does. EQ puts out like 2 xp a year. That's a lot of new content. Both Swtor and Rift are great games but they have been around for awhile and neither have any expansions since release. Yea, they gave 'free' content since their releases but no where near the amount of a solid expansion would bring. I played EQ for 6 years, it kept me entertained all of those years. New MMOs can hardly keep me interested for more than 3 months.

I play and i'm not really into SW. The movies were cool and all, i liked all of them. I just don't geek out on it. I play because I like my class and prefer the SciFi atmosphere. Besides, this game hardly feels like Star Wars anyway.

The problem is that most classes have been balanced with cc in mind and as a check. If you take out most of the cc, you leave a lot of classes seriously OP.

Once we gain a better understanding of.. • Ataru Form damage effects (procs) now deal weapon-based damage instead of Force-based damage. The overall damage of these effects has been increased by approximately 10%. .. we can make a more informed decision on your question.

I'm with you. I really love the mara pvp set

not entirely nothing... it does give you one rage when it ends

I agree, i'm not leaving. i actually like swtor and having fun playing it with my friends. Gear isn't that big a deal for me. It's just a means to an end. MMOs change, they get patched, the world goes on. Adapt or die.

wait... i thought we were hating on marauders and powertechs now? i'm confused

You get Centurion comms via the champion bags bought through the pvp vendor. Champion bags cost 200 Mercenary comms and 200 Warzone comms. You click the bag and you get 15 Centurion comms and 7 Champion comms. Battlemaster bag give you 15 champion comms and a random chance of a Battlemaster item.

If i were you, i wouldn't even worry about buying the pvp bags or gear. Just buy the adrenals and medpacks. Come 1.2 you can buy equivalent level Champion pvp gear with credits. Then just play rated warzones for the War Hero set, you don't even need valor for it and it's better than battlemaster.

Kill the healers! everyone knows it's a good thing to do. Unfortunately, not everyone knows protect our healers is also a good thing to do. I will go out of my way, stopping my fight, to help the healer. Because i know that if i kill their aggressor I will have heals to finish my previous battle. it's nice to be a preferred target of their heals because you helped them out. Like the saying goes... if you want a friend be a friend. On my server healers always get the most MVP votes.

next class will be GW2 warrior. Till then Mara for life i believe they will have a similar resource pool. I like the rage building then execute abilities. I tried other classes and their resource management seems so limiting. I played EQ warrior /yawn wow warrior was a lot of fun. Mara is a ton of fun. I hope GW2 warrior is a lot fun too.

I fly like superman. I have the habit of jumping before i force charge. Yes, i wear a cape too.

This is mine. http://www.torhead.com/skill-calc#100bIrRro0fGzZhMMZh.1 It works perfect for me, your mileage may vary.

knockbacks are annoying sure but what i hate the most is the root at the end of a KB. Unless FC is up i'm just standing there like a derp, target for anyone to shot at. This is the reason i never open with force charge, i save it for the KB.

It's only like that if you are trying to solo a group. In a team with a competent healer and tank your resolve bar fills up quickly. CC becomes a non issue. Teamwork = win

If the item doesn't say "unique" then I believe you are fine. The game won't let you purchase two identical items that are unique anyway. EDIT: fyi http://www.torhead.com/item/1ebQ5b1/rakata-war-leaders-implant

I'm not sure if this answers your question but Marauders level 40 (Furious Assault) pvp gear looks like a robe. http://www.theoldrepublicordie.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/VwdYy.jpg

i understand the frustration of keeping tabs on so many abilities with different CDs. It took awhile to get used to it but once i did it became second nature. I got a 'feel' for when my CDs were ready. I don't have to look at my ability bar to know when a CD is ready. If you enjoy TOR and your Marauder then I say hang in there, it will get easier. If not then there is always GW2 on the horizon.

at 23 i would have this spec for leveling http://www.torhead.com/skill-calc#100bIboZZh.1 I wouldn't worry about DW Mastery until your are reaching for Defensive Roll or other talents. I leveled and remained Anni spec for both pve and pvp. But if you are looking at end game carnage spec i would assume it becomes viable at 30+ when you get Gore.
