Not to be rude, but... Um... Why do we care?

Only if you leveled up to 50 without a sub-class. Like a boss.

No, because I play Carnage. I have 3 immobilizers, so it's not really a useful skill in that sense. I force charge someone, they're immobilized, I deadly throw, immobilized, I ravage, immobilized (or dead).

Oh wow, so there's no way to make it even with what we already have? That's more than slightly stupid.

I've not actually read anything on it. Is it possible this is because they're wasting points in Malice, and not readjusting to the melee based dmg?

LMFAO! I wish the republic players on my server were that bad!

When I said pick a spec that reflects your playstyle, I didn't mean ignoring 'staples'. There's certain talents you want at any cost, such is Dual Wield Mastery. You're a DPS-only class, so as someone else said, not using staples is gimping yourself.

Honestly, I'd just go with whatever you're comfortable with. Your spec should reflect you as a player. Copy & Paste builds are over-rated. Think for yourself and get what you need, ignore what everyone else says if it works for you.

Really, this is ridiculous. Ravage is fine, and it's getting a great buff in 1.2. Like everyone else said, Melee PvP is about movement. Knowing when and where to use skills is important. For example, if you see someone get overloaded into a root, or standing still and not paying attention to you, you should probably ravage them. If you see someone who's not rooted, and is paying attention to you, you probably shouldn't ravage them. That simple.

Exactly. Another thing, never think a mara is bad because of low damage. I've had games only pushing ~200k damage, with 15000 objective points. My damage can be through the roof, if I choose to be a ganking baddie ^.^

I guess it's preference. I think watching procs/debuffs is more difficult than 1,2,3, SMASH! lol Rage is definitely the easiest tree for me.

Exactly. There are hooded Chest-slot items. My concern, however, is that we need robes! I want a straight-up black robe for my Mara, that's all.

Rage & Carnage are better for extremely low levels, but switching specs while leveling is stupid, plus Anni has better survivability, and you should be learning it ASAP. Stick with Anni, you'll be happy you did. I switched and didn't learn Annihilation properly, so now I suffer in PvP with Carnage and my 350k dmg and 10 deaths... lol. If it were Annihilation, it would probably be 400k dmg and 0 deaths, but I'm a derp and didn't learn how to play it properly.

I agree, and this mildly upsets me. I don't have the time alotment to raid regularly, so PvP is my only option, really. It's kind of stupid to make PvP players acquire raid gear against their will. But hey, what are you gonna do? We just gotta sit back and take whatever they give us.

I've been playing Carnage for a few days now (I didn't really give it a second look after level 40), it's very enjoyable to play, the burst is really good, but it sucks on survivability. Prior to Carnage I played Rage. Not because I think Rage is better, but because it's easier (I know, I'm a baddie, blah blah). I honestly have trouble keeping annihilator up in PvP, and I panic when folks don't die quick enough. Annihilation feels clunky to me in WZ's. By far, Anni is the best spec imo atm. They are the hardest for me to duel, and I respect those who are good enough to play it. Who knows, maybe when I can see the procs, I'll be better at playing it XD. Right now my buff icons are about the size of a pea on my 32" screen.

^ This. All of it. Any marauder can last forever, as long as you know how to choose your battles and pop your CD's.

Yes. I bought one back when they first came out for World of WarCraft, ever since then, I've been addicted to it. I cannot play without it anymore. Using the keyboard for activating skills is so foreign to me anymore. Legit, all I use the keyboard for is typing, and the "W" key.

Obfuscate ALL the things!

Lol, right? However, I've seen stealthies quite a few times when they walk too close to me, but those are baddies anyway. Not to mention, once I know an op or 2 are after me, I start randomly smashing when not in combat.

No. No, we are not.

Also, that stupid "I'ma throw pebbles at you and win" skill is annoying as hell when you're stunned.

In combination, I agree. However, our enemies can keep us off them far too long unless Unleash is up. I hate the feeling of standing there, unable to move, and getting shot in the face. The more I think about adding an interrupt or stun to force scream, the more I like it.

Thanks, lol. Seriously though, if Unleash isn't up, we're 100% screwed. That class is the definition of OP.

This (^) is the truth, once you learn how to play the class and use your defensive cooldowns, it's much easier. However there are some discrepancies with how we operate. I believe we should have some tweaks, but no major buffs. I personally feel our class is pretty much up to standard with everyone else... except those prison-rapists... Knock you on your face then shank you in the back for a few seconds, then you respawn... lol.

I agree that there are way too many stuns/knockbacks/pulls, but that's why you try to keep F-Charge off cd. I use it situationally (then again, I play Rage), so I normally don't have issues with knockbacks. The best thing you can do is just learn how you play the class. Everything in this game (especially Marauder) is directly relative to your skill. Learn how to use your defensive cooldowns, and you can survive a hell of a lot more. It took me quite sometime to get used to the class, and I still fumble every now and again. We need tweaked, I'm not asking for a major "buff", but I'd like to see some of our skills get a little more utility. For example, why not have force scream interrupt?. Not saying that should be introduced, but some more utility behind some of our skills would make up for the "lack" of CC. P.S. Intimidating Roar'ing half a team over a fire-pit in huttball makes me smile ^.^
