CaptainSaros Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 Hello, I just finished reading the 2.8 patch notes, and as someone who's been playing a Marauder since the game came out I'm somewhat disappointed. Out of all the current Marauder specs, the only one that competes with top end DPS at the moment is DoT Smash, the Rage/Annihilation Hybrid. It's almost perfectly in line with every other top end DPS class's DPS output, usually topping out at about 3800 in top end gear. The other two specs do significantly less DPS and are thus not really viable, and even with the improvements to annihilation in the patch it still will be subpar. If you make Deadly Saber only usable in Juyo, you will effectively be eliminating the only truly viable HM and NiM PvE spec for Marauders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twotilmidnite Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 Carnage is, on average, 3550/3700.*** Anni with changes is pulling around the same. 3750ish on a good crit parse.*** Is this on par with specs like Concealment Op or Eng Snipers (Which are supposed to be getting hit with a nerfbat soon)? No, but things will be improved and other classes will be nerfed to balance everything. Imo, the only spec not viable for NiM PvE is Rage (Maybe for Draxus, C-0 and Bestia; and that's a big maybe) . I've run Carnage in about 75% of NiM content at gear level and experienced no issues whatsoever. *** - In my experience/my average parses. Could be more for the overall average Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
