LordJarrix Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 (edited) Hi all! Tnx for taking time to read this I haven"t played for like a year or so and now I have returned I played healers both on Rep and Imp side. Now i decided to play as sith once more but this time i would like to kill stuff for a chage (from lvl 60) . 4.0.1 is out and I was wondering is Marauder any good as dps now copmaring to other classes? I play mostly PvE, grop play. Cheers! Edited November 3, 2015 by LordJarrix I misspeled words Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vodrin Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 (edited) Hi all! Tnx for taking time to read this I haven"t played for like a year or so and now I have returned I played as Smuggler and as Bounty hunter. Both healers. Now i decided to play as sith once more but this time i would like to kill stuff for a chage. 4.0.1 is out and I was wondering what class is best for dps? I mostly play PvE, and group play. Was any class significally buffed or extremly nerfed? And yeah - I would like to swing a light sabre Cheers! AP powertech is extremely strong right now, so much so that many are calling for nerfs in PvP and PvE. Most folks are disappointed with lightening sorc and operative DPS. Most others are viable with the possible exception of pyro PT. Edited November 5, 2015 by Vodrin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordJarrix Posted November 3, 2015 Author Share Posted November 3, 2015 Tnx for replay. I acctually edited my post Since i played "blaster" classes, I would like to swing a light sabre for a change. What about Marauder or Assasin? Are they viable or is powertech far far better? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What about Marauder or Assasin? Are they viable or is powertech far far better? Pt is rather overpowered right now with completely ridiculous burst, so much so I believe it will be nerfed in the upcoming months. Vengeance jug, fury mara, and hatred sin are all pretty good right now with the other spec's for those classes all doing reasonably well in PvP now.

xxtwofivexx Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 OP said that he mostly plays PVE. In that case, you'd want to roll an annihilation marauder. They are the second highest sustained dos in the game right now. Fury spec is second to last. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Equeliber Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 (edited) To be honest, if you are not chasing highest possible numbers, you can play anything. Difference in dps is pretty minor at the moment. It is.. ugh... am I really going to say this word? Balanced? Yeah, it actually seems pretty balanced dps-wise. Except for AP powertech. Yap.

adormitul Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 I will add that trying to find optimal gear without grinding for annihilator is impossible the optimal gear is also the top tier gear. While the other marra can use lower tier gear and be quite effective in it the annihilator one does not have that luck and the 2 main stats critical and alacrity are found in the last tier gear only while critical and power are found in the lower tier gear. To be effective with anihilator build you need around 1000 critical and about 900 alacrity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Carnage marauder is still in a pretty good place for PvE as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that may be about Rage v. Fury in pvp. For PvE, jugg dps is...not that great. Both vengeance and rage are near bottom of the barrel right now in terms of dps ranking (check out http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=847112 , though admittedly that is more for dummy parses). For Marauders, both Annihilation and Carnage are very viable for PvE, as well as Deception Sins (since you wanted a lightsaber-toting class). Anni has on balance higher dps and survivability, while Carnage is much easier to get the hang of, and amazing burst. Top 3 for dummies are: Engineering (note: Roll isn't used because its a DPS loss) Annihilation Deception With AP PTs coming in a close 4th. When you go into a raid, its more like: AP PTs Snipers (Spec isn't really an issue) Probably any sentinel/marauder spec bar Concentration/Fury Probably shadows Edited November 5, 2015 by acerexomega Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
