If you can't construe the meaning of my statement to mean "invincible except during a short window of time" then I don't know how else to explain it.... Is it incorrect to say that the marauder is invincible most of the time? And only when you've stood in the right place, waited for his eyes to glow green, etc, then you can attack?
Weren't you the guy arguing about how you shouldn't be able to gain jedi powers in Fallen Order because it's unrealistic and goes against the laws of nature in the star wars universe because that would mean any old person could come along and obtain those jedi powers, someone other than an actual jedi? C'mon dude....
I don't think many players realize just how vulnerable the Marauder is. No, you really aren't forced to attack him only during the green eyes stage. That's merely the conventional way taught in the tutorial. He's also affected by grenades, sticky bombs, remote detonation rockets, and the BFG. The shield only protects him from direct projectile fire, you can if you wish pepper the area beside and behind him with these other weapons and do some serious damage.
One easy trick is to fire the BFG above him, and once it gets behind him it's tendrils will make him face toward it, leaving his back exposed to devastating damage. Conversely, if you insist on waiting for the green eyes flash, you can also stun him with a conventional weapon, then finish him off with a BFG blast, or two lock on rocket barrages if you're quick enough.
As far as the Jedi comment, it's a bit off topic and a totally different type game. Are you trying to shame me into thinking I often make ridiculous statements? At any rate it's a game I beat on Grand Master getting by with 62 yr old reflexes, and have commented on some so called "guides" many were trusting as fact that had many flaws in them (which no one refuted), so I know the game pretty well. I tend to jump in when I see a common misconception to help clarify things. Sure, some might get the idea I'm just nuts or being a troll, but a little fact checking is all you need do to open up possibilities you weren't aware of.
The Jedi comment was specifically to do with an opinion on the story though, so is a matter of perspective, not fact about gameplay possibilities within the given combat design as is the case here. So you're reaching and stooping to petty digs there that don't even apply to this conversation in any way. It's also been a LONG while since I even played that game, as is the case for many, so you could have at least linked to the post mentioned, rather than ask "weren't you the guy". You really expect me to remember the exact content of the conversation and context that comment was said in several months later? It kinda reeks of you not being able to handle people's opinions, letting it eat away at you for months.
I wasn't trying to slam you, just point out the many misconceptions about the Marauder. I know full well that you meant he's invincible while his shield is up, but that's false, as it is with the Gladiator as well. You just don't get that the tutorials are meant for average players that don't think of alternative methods. It DOES however say he's "resistant" to super weapons, not invulnerable, so that should be a clue. I've seen some of the best players that can speedrun the game in about 3 hrs on Ultra Nightmare 100% use some of these alternative methods, and they're very fast and effective. I've also seen someone kill him even with the Crucible, but that is rare and difficult. It's possible as well to stun lock him by repeatedly dashing behind him each shot after he's first stunned. So no, the shoot him in the brief window after his eyes flash method is far from the only one.
For most, the shoot him after he flashes green eyes and drops his shield method is easiest, and uses less resources, but I've also seen even people struggling with him for a long time say using grenades or sticky bombs around him during his so called "invincible" stage finally helped finish him off. It really depends on the player's skill level and play style.
BTW, as far as I vaguely recall, the Jedi comment I made was in response to someone saying you should have Jedi skills from the get go, vs starting out as a Padawan and progressing. I don't recall ever saying you should have no Jedi skills at some point in the game, that would be a very boring light saber game. For some reason a handful of players on the official JFO forum feel the game needs more skills. I happen to feel there's more than enough, and in all of my 3 play throughs there were many I never used or needed. Again, that's an opinion discussion though.
Again, if you're going to call someone out, especially on a comment made many months ago, at least have the decency to post a link to it.
