Also note you can do Step 1-4 WHILE doing Warzones so it doesn't impair your progress. Always make sure you are grinding out comms while you are doing all of the below for the fastest gearing up process.



If I were to start over again and rebuild my Marauder this is exactly the order and process I would go.



Step 0:



Get all the Strength, Endurance and if you're a freak like me Willpower Datacrons. Willpower datacrons boost your force attacks like dots and force scream. Then level up all your companions affection to 10k (The non droid ones). When you do this you will gain 1% accuracy, 1% surge, 1% crit, % of HP increase, and increased healing on yourself.







Step 1: (UPDATED)



Level up Cybertech for the free GRENADE, also pickup slicing. Since you have 10k affection on all your toons once you have your grenade, run slicing missions while you do warzones and sell the mission discoveries. You'll make enough money to supplement buying Exotech Might Stims, Warzone Medpacs, and Warzone Adrenals. All a must in my opinion for doing well in RWZ's and extremely well in Regular WZ's.







Step 2:

Get the recruit gear.







Step 3: (Updated)

Then when you are ready to replace all the recruit gear, replace it with the WAR HERO VINDICATOR armor and Lightsabers. With the Armor you'll have to rip out the armoring/mods/enhancements and put them in a medium armor equivalent slot. Buy the POWER relics.







Step 4: (Updated)



Buy 18 Power + 12 Endurance Augments and put them in every slot you have. (Advanced Overkill Augments)







Step 5: (Updated)



DO NOT BUY THE WAR HERO BRACERS/WAISTCORD, SEE STEP 6 FOR THIS



Buy the War Hero Vindicator Armor and the War Hero Pummeler's MK-1 Device, and 2x War Hero Pummeler's MK-1 Package as well as 2 War Hero Power Relics. The War Hero Vindicator Armor will give you the 10% damage on Force Charge which is SIGNIFICANTLY more useful for DPS than the Weaponmaster set. You'll find that you aren't using Undying Rage on CD, but that you are in fact using Force Charge on CD.







Step 6: (Updated)



Buy the War Hero Weaponmaster's Waistcord/Bracers. This step has completely changed as a cheaper more efficient way of getting fully geared/max damage has come about. I'll tell you when to upgrade these to EWH.



Step 7: (New)



Buy two Advanced Might Hilt 27's. By paying for these you save over 6000 RWZ commendations and still get the same amount of damage as the Elite War Hero Vindicator ones and extra stats from the PvE. You can now upgrade those War Hero bracers/waistcord into Elite War Hero bracers/waistcord then optimize the MOD. Also, use Power Crystals in your weapon.



Step 8: (Updated - Character Builder updated as well)



Time to MIN/MAX. This is what you're completed gear should look like:



http://swtor.askmrrobot.com/characte...6-527b62574fe8



The difference between a fully Min/Maxed War Hero Marauder and a Regular fully War Hero geared Marauder is like going from Recruit gear to Elite War Hero. It's a massive difference.



The first thing you want to replace is all your mods so get:





War Hero Vindicator's Handgear (Gloves): (875 regular Warzone Commendations)

51 strength (++)

32 endurance (+)

39 power (++)

30 exp



You will get the best Warrior Mod and the SECOND best Enhancement. Replace all your mods and 5 enhancements with what is inside the Vindicator Gloves. You get your accuracy from your earpiece plus 2 points in Narrowed Hatred.



Once you do that, now it's time to replace the enhancements in all your gear with:





War Hero Force-Mystic's Gloves (875 Regular Warzone Commendations)

27 Endurance (+)

30 Expertise

41 Power (++)

53 Surge (++)







Step 9: (New) - Min/Max EWH



I say min/max your War Hero before you start min/maxing your EWH, I say this because you'll notice the gains much faster and can jump right into smashing or force screaming players for ridiculous amounts of damage sooner.



This step just tells you the cheapest Elite War Hero pieces to buy that will get you the best enhancements and mods.



Elite War Hero Weaponmaster's Waistcord (1425 Ranked Warzone Commendations)

(63) War Hero's Deft Mod 27

+52 Strength

+34 Endurance

+30 Expertise Rating

+40 Power



Upgrade all your mods first as it is a bigger boost than the enhancements plus they are cheaper to do.



Next:



Elite War Hero Weaponmaster's Boots (2000 Ranked Warzone Commendations)

(63) War Hero's Adept Enhancement 27

+28 Endurance

+30 Expertise Rating

+42 Power

+54 Surge Rating



This is the cheapest option to go about upgrading your Enhancements.

Use this guide for whatever step you are on, but if you're starting fresh, do it like this for maximum enjoyment. The gear build is different, but it's optimized now to be efficient for either RAGE or CARNAGE which is why I'm geared this way now. Full power is the way to go as with having Autocrit abilities.
