Marauder questionFollow

I didn't get a chance to test out Marauder at all during beta but in every other MMO I have played I was always a tank. I was a little hesitant to try it out due to targeting on the PS3 so I stuck with the DD classes but with the changes they have made its a lot easier and I feel comfortable to tank using the controller and was wondering if anybody who tried out Marauder could share what the standard rotations are for low lvl dungeons.

I can't really add much more than Kaddis already has -- Targeting was surprisingly smooth on the PS3 for me and the hotbar mechanics equally surprised me. It felt simple and easy to set up rotations and to change bars on the fly. I think they really hit home with that.

Thanks for your input on that BartelX, you brought up some great additions. The basic rotation of keeping hate though is pretty much what I explained in my initial post. As you said, there are good deal of situational abilities for MRD. Tomahawk to pull individual or small packs and then a quick Overpower or Flash. Foresight and Bloodbath are pretty important ones, but due to their cool down timers; obviously you are not using them nearly as often as your basic rotation. I guess I should have further clarified all of that and appreciate you chiming in on it! Though, as you said it's not complex, it's not complex at all and to me, it's all really simple thus far.

This is what is starting to frustrate me. Is it possible to roll through the 3 intro dungeons with 2 abilities, especially for an MMO vet? Yes - and I'm not surprised. These are specifically referenced as tutorial group settings. Even within the 3, there is a clear increase in mechanics (Sas - dealing with adds from start/kill orders, occasional extras. TTD - more directional attacks/TP moves. CBM - Slime boss (not sure how else to describe it!), party splitting between boss/adds).

I COULD have facerolled through the 3 dungeons as LNC with True Thrust -> Vorpal Thrust, and not had problems. But, with a little cross-classing from ACH, I was managing a DoT (Venomous Bite), a debuff (Feint), 2 buffs (Heavy Thrust {position-dependent buff} and Straight Shot), a positional attack (Impulse Drive), a 30sec CD stun (Leg Sweep) ... AND my basic True Thrust -> Vorpal Thrust combo. Maybe it's me, but I want to find the complexity within a class, unlocking it's full potential. It was the same in TOR. I was a Gunnery Commando main. It was perceived as a noob class, as a poor Commando could use 4 buttons, and match 85-90% of my DPS. But there were some amazing situational tools (ranged CC that could be made instant cast, heavy armour passively, cost-eliminating CDs, off-healing (both single target & AoE), plus some massive AoE damage spikes) meant that, in a guild operations group, I was valued both for my DPS, and my situational usefulness. This also forced me to become more situationally aware of the battle as a whole, making me a better player.

In short, OB has shown the tutorial section of the game. Players with extensive MMO experience will storm through it. This is expected. We have been told that there will be a significant difficulty curve towards later levels. Given the steady introduction of "basic" dungeon mechanics throughout this tutorial, I am inclined to believe this statement. Others will not - no problem. Saying that the game is too easy on the basis of the game's tutorial is a problem, however.

Steel Cyclone is the **** for marauder that holds hate like no toher but its a 45 ability i thin dont hold me to that
