Well, you want a T2 bastion module, I offered a solution that would give you that, without buffing the Marauders (which would be bad for the game). ---

All of those. Which is why I enjoy doing it. ---

If one cared about not committing Heresy, Apostacy, Sacrilege, and Blasphemy they would be flying a Paladin rather than a Kronos! _Weird Amarrians…_ ---

> [@Syzygium](#): > > Yeah and with the latest patch you got ~11% more resists on all Resistance Modules. Might not offset the nerf if you are used to having 3 Large Extenders or 2 1600er Plates in your Marauder, but is a straight buff if you are not and are using Active Tanks like the majority of the Marauders. The “source” are the latest patch notes… Still can’t find this in the patch notes for Marauders. ---

Oh yes, active tank and as little as I can get away with. My mission runner’s Vargur never used extenders so the loss was really nothing. It does have a Damage Control 2 and two slots used for Shield Hardeners. This coupled with a few repair cycles now and then is perfectly good for any lvl 4 mission I’ve yet encountered, and also done three of the four Empire Epic Arcs with no problems. It’s not invincible but I’m not losing it as long as I’m awake and playing. ---

Paladin is great, even against Angels. Vargur is great against everybody. Kronos is great, you just need to wait until enemies are within tractor range. Golem I found to be the worst in terms of damage application and micro management. ---

I have tested babaroga on test server, singularity (all level 5 skills). With META 12 (officer) dps modules on babaroga, my paladin, vargur, kronos still outperform it. Standard marauders outperform babaroga with t-2 meta 5 dps modules. It is good for pvp/s or station shooting, but for pve missions and pve activity it is just outperformed by other marauders and needs fixing. ---

> [@Admiral\_Brodnack](#): > > It is good for pvp/s or station shooting, but for pve missions and pve activity it is just outperformed by other marauders and needs fixing. Why should the Marauder that excels in sustained single target dps be better at tasks involving multiple targets and fast switching than other Marauders? Do you think that this new Marauder should be simply better at _everything_ because it is new? The Barbaroga requires no fixing. The only thing that needs a change is your flawed expectations. ---
