So far i leveled sorcerer in healing spec and tank companion and it really was easy, easy to kill elites, strong ones and others. Might be a bit faster with dps spec and tank companion, but i enjoyed it this way. Just shield and hot the tank and dps in the meantime or just use force storm if lot of weak targets are there. I did PVE leveling only. no FPs, no pvp.
But marauder is completely different:
First, a zilion abilities need to be used to kill elite of same level along with every defensive CD + med pack. Mostly when atacking elite i end up almost on 1% HP or just dead. That is with Jaenna melee dps companion. both are geared in latest greens/blues/oranges.
I tried killing elite with that hairy tank Bromark, but tank is killed before i get elite to 40-50% and then im nuked or end up at 1%.
ranged tank companion is worst of all, too squishy imo.
Ppl say malavi quin is best since he is healing you and dps sometimes, but he is not very cool companion- rather dull.
Jaenna is my favourite companion, but we both still dont have dps to kill elite, esp if we dont have charge advantage.
So, whats the problem - is it my bad play or is just marauder to squishy dmg taken and dps wise?
Any other comment?
