Still looking for a capable Tank or DPS.

And you ignore Styrak and Golden Fury, where Marauders dominate like no other class does on any other boss.

Marauders do not need to be better at all fights for my view to be correct. I also said that i believe dps to be mostly balanced. Operative, Sin and PT are underrepresented. Is there the odd exceptional individual? sure. I will ignore the ease of manually editing logs to give false stats. If in every fight that BW designs that has tight dps requirements, Marauders are on top that is telling. I do like the Marauders suck so they don't need a nerf argument though. This thread is not suggesting neft marauders, It is recommending nerfing marauder stacking to roll Bloodthirst. If you have never stacked Marauders or don't believe it is a real thing, then this will have 0 effect on you and you can carry on trolling the forums as usual.

I agree the Debuff would need to only affect the people that actually benefit from BT. Your vision of the Hybrid Tax is that Marauders and Snipers need to do something superior as they have no other roles to fill? In that case Hybrid Tax is a poor choice of words, Dedicated DPS Bonus would be more fitting. BioWare believes them to be ahead of other classes in dps. I agree with them. A sweet buff like BT is fitting too. To make it so your group can use multiple BTs after each other only serves to reduce class diversity.

Semantics, it can used serially. Rather than having a group wide 5min CD Debuff.

I heal most of the time. I also played a marauder in the past. I do not agree that there is a Hybrid Tax, Dps is balanced for the most part. Concealment Operatives / Assassins will get the short end of the stick simply due to PvP Balance and Powertechs might be a little undertuned. Marauder DPS is ok, Bloodthirst is ok, being able to bring multiple marauders for multiple BT's is NOT ok. Unless you have done actual Progression Raiding, where everyone is in the best gear and you can't youtube strategy videos, you are out of your element here. More Marauders is a real strategy that has been used to success in the past. When you have more than enough skill players to fill your raid, you pick based on class. Marauders have an unfair advantage here. If BT did not stack each additional Marauder would be no more effective than any other dps. As it is now not only are marauders very good dps, they make everyone better.

BTW HM 8 Man Golden Fury is the other fight that was non-trivial and 7 of the top 8 parses are Marauders or Sentinels.

Content that is not hard is not relevant. Doing leet dps on a boss that is trivial does not prove very much. HM 8 Styrak is one of the only bosses that was non-trivial and 4 of the top 6 parses for it are Marauders. That Marauder DPS is very good is not the concern, that they do top tier dps and provide the strongest buff is a problem. All other class utility is simply execution, if you can already execute a fight properly and your group is still hitting enrage, Marauders can fix it. The fact that you can swap out your worst dps for a Marauder that does slightly less damage than them and be further ahead is a balance problem.

Most of you have missed the point of this thread. It is not that Marauder dps is too good, It is that they provide too much raid utility for the damage they do. This is compounded when a hypothetical boss fight(s), lets say Nightmare TFB allows you to run as much melee as you want and enrage is a real concern. It is a common strategy to bring in extra marauders if you can't quite make enrage in Nightmare Progression fights because rolling Bloodthirst is overpowered. Of course superior players of every class exist, OMG XYZ TORPARSE!!!! proves nothing. The game is not balanced around the top 0.1% of players.

Current content is easy so composition balance doesn't matter? If a player has both a powertech and a marauder, both filling the same role. How do you justify taking the powertech dps over the marauder? Also the inability to build fury while BT is going does not counter BT's benefit for addition marauders. Almost a non issue for Carnage.

Because trash is hard right?

In an Operations setting, Marauders are superior to every other melee dps. You are actually rewarded for having all of your melee dps being Marauders. Class balance should be rewarded not punished.

The above statement is not the opinion of MoX, carry on.
