Marauder= Melee DPS.
Sorcerer= Ranged DPS.

At this stage its hard to say who will do MORE damage. However its been stated that melee dps will do higher single target dps. Presuming the target isn't highly armored bla bla.
Melee dps will have an advantage over ranged, being that they can close the distance quickly and deal high damage fast to relatively unarmored characters.

1. I would tip the Marauder would win in a 1vs1 environment. Unless the sorcerer caught the Marauder at a huge disadvantage. (sorcerer gets first shot off, and his high on a platform etc)

2. Being a Melee DPS class, yes it will do high damage. More then tank and support archetypes.

First, this is a vague, and unanswerable question.

Being as much help as I can, and staying within the NDA, both classes are completely different animals.

Neither one will probably do significantly "more damage" over a large amount of time. The sorc is going to do her damage from the safety of range, but if she is caught in melee, is going to be in deep trouble. She is the more risky of the 2 choices, as her cloth armor and miscast mechanic will probably give her advantages to balance out these disadvantages, but these risks are probably very real and your attention is going to be required to not be overwhelmed by them.

The Marauder has the disadvantage of needing to be in melee combat to reach his potential. Once in that range he can dish out significant punishment to the target foolish enough to let him in that close. He is not equipped with as many risky mechanics as Sorcs are, but he has one major disadvantage in being a "soft" melee combatant. Soft is only a relative term (compared to heavily armored tanks), as he will most likely have much heavier armor then the Sorc, but running in the thick of melee instead of being at the safety of range can be painful. Still, to balance out melee requirements, there are advantages to such a form of combat: in tanks it's hugely advanced survivability, and in melee dps it could come in the way of better BURST damage, crowd control (the marauder knockdown club arm we've seen ;)), debuffs, the ability to not be interrupted like a caster and many other possibilities.

Basically I'd say if you like high risk and potentially high rewards, not to mention the benefits of staying behind the lines, Sorceress may be your class. If being in the thick of melee suits your fancy, and the potential benefits that come with it (eating a squishy caster like the Sorc for dinner), then the Marauder may be more to your liking.

This is why ranged dps, gets some protective spells, like CC.

Honestly its too early to say. Because we don't know what kinda skills and spells the classes will get.
But I tend to tip casters over meleers.

We really don't know dude. Anyone who says otherwise is, in all likelihood, lying to you. Avoid these people at all costs.
Well done, you managed to provide yourself with an answer to your own question, prior to asking that question... :roll:I live for threads like this. Without threads like this, I would end it all, right now. Thank you Apache. You are my rock.

I can't say which one will do the most dmg comparing the classes side by side, but in the context of a group battle I can say that the RDPS class will likely do more damage. MDPS are going to have to deal with "taunts" A LOT, and that will 1/2 their dps potential. Add that to the fact that MDPS need to be near a target to do dps at all, and the picture may become even clearer.

In all likelyhood, Apache had just finished watching the Marauder Footage Youtube vid from Buffed.de, in which the Marauder does do some high damage, albeit against a target dummy, so lay off.

While I'm somewhat of a Sorc fan (permitting me to be bias ;)) I would still go for the Marauder. Only because Melee DPS>RDPS (there are circumstances where this will not occur due to the environment, and really good Sorc and or a really bad Marauder).

Yes, Marauder will do very nice DPS, I'm at odds seeing how they will do more than a Sorceress. I could only see it happening if Sorc were given extraordinary AOE capabilities. Or perhaps (to an extent), if the Marauder happened to have the right mutation on for the career he was fighting (basically he would not do more damage than a Sorc with that knock-back and stun arm mutated).
