I honestly don't understand how any game coming out after 2004 can have issues with multicore processors. SoE and EQ2 made this exact same problem. Does no one pay attention to what happens to other MMO companies? SoE banked on single core CPU's just getting stronger and never going multicore. How can you guys not see what mistakes other companies make and rectify them *before* your game releases? I love this game but these stupid mistakes and oversights make me want to rage all over the place.

So, I skimmed your post and I could care less about your other points, but your complaint about the PvP brackets is pretty dumb. I'm so tired of seeing people cry about lvl 10's PvPing with 50's. Has no one put 2 and 2 together and figured out why they did this? It's so people can actually get PvP Q's at the beginning of the game. The first 100 people who hit 50 would be bored out of their minds because their Q would never pop. Herp derp that's why brackets are getting put in now that there is a substantial population of 50's.

I'm nice IRL, I enjoy being an evil motha****a that makes evil decisions and kills people in game, so Empire was an easy choice for me It had nothing to do with omg let's out number the Republic!

After the opener, oblit, choke, smash. U will probably have to throw in a few assaults but the spec is based on pumping out 100% crit 100% dmg smashes

IMO, Rage only gets good once you can get the endline, Force Crush. Up until then, the only way for you to build up shockwave ticks is with Force Choke, which is on a long CD. I rolled Annihilation up until 40, where you can spend enough points to get the endline in Rage. Annihilation wasn't too bad, plenty of self healing through dots and you had some decent burst with berserk up. Annihilation til 40 then try out Rage, IMO.

Cloak of Pain, Undying Rage, Saber Ward. Yep, no defensive CD's at all.

Hiding behind a forum avatar? mmkay. Yeah, that's exactly what I'm doing. I'm afraid of facing the consequences of telling someone to quit being a retard. All righty then. Now that we've got that out of the way, let's examine what else you said. I'm not trying to paint myself as a pro. Nope, nowhere did I say I was pro at anything. I said stuff was easy if you utilize all of your skills. Do I consider myself a good player? Yes. It's ironic that I say there's no need to try and convince others who won't change their minds because I'm the same way? Pray tell, how exactly am I completely unwilling to change my opinion? Back to the original topic of this thread, I leveled up completely as Annihilation. I wrote off Rage because I thought of it as a PvP spec, but after reading what a few others said, I changed my mind and tried it and completely love it. Yes, I'm clearly unwilling to have my opinions or views swayed. Paragraph full of big words that pretty much calls me a dick. That's cool, you're entitled to your opinion, but I like how you roll up on an internet forum and tell me that I lack anything at all. Congrats, you called someone else on the internet something bad. Cookie? People like you make me laugh.

I could have said any number of things, but I chose to say what I did because guess what? I can. I have no problems with new or inexperienced players. I don't mind explaining something to someone or helping them figure something out. It's the people who play for 2 hours and then come on here ranting in all caps about how the marauder is such a terrible class and that it needs to be buffed that yes, I'm going to be a complete dick to. You sound like a halfway intelligent person. There's no need to try and coddle the people who won't change their opinion no matter what you tell them. Hopefully you can see that.

Why am I rude? Because the people on this forum have no clue how to play this class. Instead of taking the time to learn how to play, they cry about how it's broken because they can't shoot lightning at people or pew pew behind cover with a sniper rifle. Lack of AoE and burst? Have you even tried a Rage spec? 3k smashes are amazing.

Yeah cause 4 days after official release the game should be bug free. GG sir.

The people who are complaining about marauders are either like level 13 or are mentally retarded. Marauder has been a blast for me. I leveled up Annihilation spec'd til about 40 or so and then switched to Rage. I've been using the healing companion (Malavai Quinn) and everything has pretty much been a joke. As long as you manage your defensive CD's and don't take on too much, it's a breeze. Don't listen to the naysayers on this forum, they'll just get you down before you even give the class a shot.

ITT: idiots.

I meant the guy that thought it was cool to be like, "I reported you! YEAH!". Not you.

hemad.
