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!
