real talk but i thought pvping on my mara before i got all the pvp gear was bull ****. its impossible to compete against other classes like BH, ops, sorcs, etc. mara scales with gear and without that proper gear, we become next to worthless. you can probably go rage spec and just pvp from there but that would gimp your pve dps. now that im pretty pvp geared with both champion purple lightsabers, pvp became more bearable and became "fun" in a way. (still get ***** by ops BH and sorc)
