Hmm, maybe I might have missed that thanks.

I would really love it if at some point in the future I could change my legacy surname. I'd be willing to pay cold hard American greenbacks to do it. "Thepotato" sounded awesome at the time but it really doesn't fit any of my toons.

The original intent of this thread was not to say that Marauders are perfect. Far from it! I was simply relaying my own experience to the community in case someone thinking of rolling a Marauder saw it. Yes, Pommel Strike and Kick are useless abilities. The idea of a heal strike that opens up after slaying a foe sounds great to me. One thing that I must point out is that much of what I hear in terms of Marauders being UP is from people who solo dailies or pvp. My experience is in a pve setting wherein Marauders have great DPS and on-the-fly survivability cooldowns. I apologize for the confusion there.

Defensive roll is absolutely amazing in Flashpoints. I haven't done an Operation yet but I assume it applies there as well.

I do almost exactly this except without charging unless they are casting. Depending on bleed procs I may also opt to VS a few times rather than Ravage but that's more personal taste erring on the side of mobility and flexibility. I hate cancelling Ravage to pop a defensive CD or move out of a fire droid.

1. The Marauder is -NOT- a pick-up-and-play class. The Marauder is a get-to-know-through-painful-experience class. 2. The Marauder is -NOT- underpowered. 3. You will die while questing. Probably a lot. 4. If you take the time to learn the class and get your hands dirty, the payoff is massive. 5. All three specs are functional and seem to be balanced at least on their face. Carnage is lacking very slightly it seems. 6. The storyline is epic, engaging and extremely fun. Enjoy!

Vette is a tease. Dark Side Jaesa is... easy. Where is our in between! Perhaps I shall try to seduce Broonmark.

You should be saving Force Charge for use as a secondary interrupt. Anni shouldn't be rage starved enough to warrant superfluous charging. Additionally some bosses and mobs have knockbacks and it's essential to be able to get back into the fray quickly. BTW awesome post OP. Love anni spec. A lot of people will be flocking to it after they realize getting giant crits doesn't mean consistent DPS (*cough* Rage *cough*)
