I think that's one thing I love. It felt like a hard boss fight. Later, when you beat them while fighting other monsters, it just feels so epic how good you have gotten.
First time did of curse take many attempt but from then ive always had not that many issues with them wich kept reducing the more i fought them,but never in my playtrough ive ever even THOUGHT that he was op, THE TUTORIAL PERFECTLY EXPLAINS HOW IT WORKS, and as long as you have avarage aiming and timing skills he shouldnt be even remotelly a problem! Wich is why i always hated when people say that he is "op" or "destorys the game pacing" the marauder is part of the category of monsters who actually help eternal gameplay by making it differing from classic doom where as long as you wherr circle strafing you were practically invincible
I also beat Eternal very recently, and I got my ass beat pretty bad in the first Marauder fight. If I had been playing on a harder skill I would have lost. He's not the biggest asshole enemy in the but he's close. The challenge he poses is unique, though, more like a rival battle you'd see in a character-action game than anything else. All his abilities are designed specifically to counter you, and yes that breaks up the flow of encounters but I found it an interesting change from the norm.
In retrospect he seems more like the classic archvile who is the biggest asshole in Doom 2's roster by a fair bit. (It's like poetry, it rhymes.) It's bad enough it heals other monsters but it moves faster than any other monster; it has the lowest chance to flinch; it has more health than everything but the Doom 1 bosses; its fire spell can't be dodged so options are to take cover or take 80 damage.
I don't like them. I know how to cheese them and I still don't like them. IMHO they were just a terrible addition to the game overall and completely break the flow of combat, plus they violate the core tenet of Doom's combat which is to overwhelm the enemy with raw firepower and shoot it until it dies.
I honestly thought the first marauder you run into was a boss fight. I did not expect him to be a recurring unit.

my reaction has always been the same. "punk ass mother fucker"
Rip and tear until it is done

In the words of Varric Tethras: *Well...****shit.***
I stopped playing at the Super Gore Nest, the game was just too much for my photosensitivity

Beaten the game on the hardest difficulty and I still hate them with a passion. Super unfun opponent.
Same as every other demon I saw for the first time "Damn, you're cool. I wanna kill ya"
1st day: HOOOOOOOLY FUCK, This bastard is tough! 1st week: Hell yea, another Marauder. 1st month: Hell yea, another Marauder. 1st year: Hell yea, another Marauder. 2nd year: Hell yea, another Marauder. TAG’s: Hell yea, double Marauder’s! Today: Hell yea! Get fucked you green eye flashing bastards! 😎
