lJustAlexl Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 (edited) Basically what the above topic says. I enjoy playing the marauder, I enjoy rocking warzones and all the kills, caster shut-downs and highly important ops buffs that come with it. But I would like to receive more medals in warzones. Having a 50 Powertech tank and DPS Sorcerer as alts, I'm a little disappointed that the others can acquire warzone commendations far more quickly and reliably than marauders without full champ or battlemaster. So, using the popular Annihilation specs, is this achievable? I think we're an incredibly effective class, but I'm having some difficulty finding ways to get more out of the build during warzones. During a good match, I'll get around 220k ish total damage and maybe 25-30k heals. A far cry from the many posts on these boards touting 500k dmg done and 100k heals. 5-6 medals a match is respectable...but I miss the 10 or more that would come with my alts. I appreciate any insight offered. Edited February 28, 2012 by lJustAlexl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kricys Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 solo kill, 2.5k hit, 10 kills, 25 kills, 75k damage, 75k healing are pretty much all you'll get if you have no gear. We don't have guard or cast heals so the 2.5k/5k heal and 5 or so guard medals aren't gonna happen. 75k healing is simple in a full length match, just keep berserk up as much as possible.

I appreciate any insight offered. I'm in the same boat as you are. However, you should provide us with more information as to what gear you're sporting and if you have had any enhancements swapped out of it. I'm currently sporting full Centurion and I have swapped out most of the enhancements to the +18 endurance, +27 crit, +39 surge ones (I have around 71% surge and 25% crit). I thought this helped improve my DPS although you will lose some power. I'm very close to getting my Champion MH which should dramatically bolster my DPS and enable to hit the 200k+ dmg mark almost every time. From the numbers you've stated in your post, I assume your gear is similar to mine. 90% of the time, I outdamage other Marauders who are way geared than me, which shows that the class is quite difficult to play if you don't have a solid rotation and know how to use your defensive CDs. I also recently switched to this spec: http://www.torhead.com/skill-calc#100bIrRrRMsGzZhMb.1 (The point spent in Phantom could be put in either Defensive Roll or Malice). With this spec, my fury build up is amazing and Berserk is always up which increased my DPS by a good 20k-30k on average. If you're not using this build (or some variation of it), I'd strongly recommend switching to this. And those folks who do 500k and 150k healing? They're a rare breed. Few Marauders grasp the aspect of what their class actually does and you also can't rely on a screenshot someone posted without any context. Example: last night I played a WZ in which I thought I did *terrible* since I was trying to lock-down/harass this healer in BM gear that had a pocket tank and I did 230k damage... and I never killed the healer, I just did a lot of damage and applied DoTs. So be wary of those screenshots unless context is provided. Hope that helps!. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
