So.. Yea I know, before it starts.... No I ain't mad bra, and yea... i know... Cool story. Not a QQ thread BTW, just wanted to share my finding.
Anyway, with that out of the way. I just had to see what it was all about. I play a Merc as my main, and have a Sorc that i play as a 50 alt. I got them both what I thought was enough gear to at least be viable in PVP (i use that term loosly, trust me). I did ok with most every class in the game, and sure I got my face smashed many time by a geard player, reguardless of class. But I always got destroyed (Not using that loosely, i mean utterly wrecked) by every marauder/knight that I came across. I also noticed the amount of this class in the game.
So.. I read, and saw alot of arguments about they are popular because... blah blah.. and so on. I saw threads saying OP/Not OP/ L2P/ L2PVP... so i figured... I'll go find out.
I took a week, started a new alt, and in my down time did a quick level to 10... got some crap gear... we a few levels learning the basics of the class, got a few more levels so I had the basic abilities.
So now i see it first hand... I'm lvl 13 and I dominate sub 50 WZ. It is literly the easiest time I have ever had in any MMO with any class. I do not watch what button I push, I do not know the rotation, I do not know the class... The way i play is i just mash what is available. By anyones standard I am a piss poor horrible "player of the class" and by most ppl's standards I would be a horrible player the way I am using the class. However....
I am now a freaking machine... I kill (and faceroll) 80% of the people I attack, it generally takes 2 or more ppl to kill me (or another marauder), I top the charts in WZ on damage, Including when there are lvl 49 players, and I dont' even know what i'm doing!!!! WTH?? Really? Can this be possible? yes it is... and you can too... just reroll.
I even did one experiment where i just ran my fingers across F1-F12 in a WZ and ran around like an idot chasing people. Guess what!!! I did great. It was absolutely amazing. I can't imagine that this is what BW intended. What reason do I have to play any other class?
Try it yourself... you will find it interesting
