Warhammer Marauder PVP - PVE

So, I’ve been playing my Sorcerer religiously the past few weeks and have totally neglected to give any kind of information about my Marauder, currently level 24.
Its difficult to compare a Marauder to any previous MMO class, I think the closest I can get to describing it is a cross between a Savage from DAoC or a dual wield fury Warrior from World of Warcraft - with its own unique take on the two.
Marauders are great fun to play in PVE, the stance dance / spec system is great and adds depth to the class, you have 3 spec choices which effect the stance you will use for the majority of your play time. I’ve tried 2 of them so far, Monstrosity (heavy focus on AE) and Brutality (heavy focus on single target burst dps and positional attacks) The third spec seemed lackluster so I didn’t even really bother with it - Savagery (some kind of debuff / hybrid spec of gayness)
For PVE, Public Quests and grinding, go monstrosoty all the way, I was AE grinding mobs 2 levels above me, 6 at a time, with no problems or downtime, just stack toughness and wounds. PQ’s were easy to top the contribution charts with AE spam.
For PVP / RVR Scenarios, I’d suggest Brutality due to its potentially huge burst damage (I could 2 shot most bright wizards / other clothies) With a healbot, Marauders just tear through shit. All in all a great fun class to play, though expect to be the main assist target of all enemy casters and die within 0.5 seconds, or - be permanantly rooted / cc’ed just like any melle dps in any MMO. If you can handle that - you’ll love a Marauder!

Spent the evening completely destroying Mourkain Temple again, (Tier 2 Warhammer Scenario) took some more great footage including a 500 - 30 spanking. Ran a few scenarios where there were 4+ Bright Wizards and it just rocked my world. They are so ridiculously overpowered right now its not even funny, I was being DD crit by some scrub level 12 Bright Wizard for 700+ (this would only happen for my Sorcerer, at level 15, with 100 dark magic built and a huge doombolt crit, nailing myself for ~350 in the process!! WTF!)
I’m telling you, its a good job I’m running with a full time healbot. I tried a quick chapter 7 public quest and found myself just stood around at 15% hp waiting for heals after I nuked myself to death trying to keep up with contribution, I have no fucking clue how people solo sorcs, unless they just dump their dark magic as soon as it hits ~30?
Anyway, enough rant - here’s the video, in all its high quality (lol) glory!
Im going to be making plenty more Sorcerer / Zealot / Marauder videos (PVP, public questing, keep taking, open RVR and more) while Warhammer Online is in its early stages, If you have any requests, feel free to leave a comment and i’ll see what I can do.

So, I finnally made a pvp movie for Warhammer Online. The movie consists of myself playing a Sorcerer monster DPS machine and my missus playing a Zealot healbot. We are currently averaging about 40-50k/dps and ~35k/healing per T2 scenario netting us approximatly 10k XP per game. The movie is completely filmed in Mourkain Temple because thats the only T2 Scenario that pops on Azazel. Watch the movie below, or click the movie to get to the high quality version where you can see my numbers all over the screen. <3 calamity
