I have a 50 marauder since launch. PvP always was fun with it, mostly because when I was in recruit gear everyone else was too. And when I go to some regular PvP I destroy people in recruit gear. You can put the best mmo pvper in the world against me I will destroy him in 6 seconds if he is in recruit gear.
I leveled a Guardian in 1.4, did not past Recruit Gear cause it sucks being stomped, get no change of get some medals and decent commendations amount per match. Yesterday I hit 50 on my operative, did some PvP today only to get destroyed. Got stunned and rooted all the time and my awesome 13k HP goes to 0 instantly. My defensives cooldowns are nothing, its just a waste to pop em up.
When I enter matches with recruit geared people I have fun, I survive, I can cast heals, get medals and be happy. Play against a war hero team and I cross fingers to get 3 medals and 50 comms at end of the match.
Yes, some ******* will say the problem is me, but everyone that is playing here long enough know what I'm talking about.
