Do you ever feel betrayed when this happens?
It's not like CG is subject to a contract and every character they release has to be insane, but honestly how do you feel when you spent 300-400 dollars for a character and they don't go anywhere close to the expectations?
I'm talking about Sith Marauder of course and how his is basically useless. Dispite how amazing he looks and all the awesome art and visual effects (props to CG for this), his kit is so awful.
The damage that was projected in the clip provided by the devs ended up being unachievable in pvp. Game testers (thank God for their service), provided alot of footage where Marauder didn't hit nearly as hard as it was shown and he seems to have a very low critical chance which doesn't help much either.
If you are someone who watched the clip and the massive crits shown, in addition to the awesome look and animations, plus the fact that he is a Sith; ended up putting their hands deep in their pockets and being left with a mediocre character.
Same thing happened with Ahsoka Fulcrum who ended being at best a TB only character who underperformes in arena and basically does nothing in raids.
I'm not saying that every marquee character has to be awesome and super powerful, but there needs to be some info about the expectations we need to have. For example we knew Mother Talzin would be insane and she is. So is the zombie and although you don't see spirit anywhere, I'm sure she has her uses. But characters like Ahsoka and SMara aren't good anywhere. I'm sure some of you will come out and say how you saw a video where marauder was in some phase solo team, but don't forget that solo was probably made possible by the other 4 members and not marauder, in fact I've seen some of those videos and marauder felt more like a drag, and you could probably do better with a ventress or ezra or something.
I'm not saying you shouldn't buy him, I mean he looks awesome, but he is just nowhere near where he should be. Something is missing, maybe he should have 100% critical chance, or maybe some more damage on his basic. Idk what it is but it feels like he won't stick anywhere.
And lastly before you blame me for being shortsighted and you say that he probably feels week with our current Sith but once we get some more it will all make sense and he will fit in like a piece of the puzzle. I hope you are right and I hope some future Sith character will have some decent synergy with him but until that day comes he is just another trash character that has no place in a decent team.
