I’m going to stop lurking and throw my two cents in here:
I love sav/brut. I made one in WAR and it’s still my favorite way to play my Mara. I try not to play Monstro specific unless I have too in a WB setting, there’s not a ton of skill to it in comparison.
That said - Sav/Brut does feel a bit gimped atm. There have been so many nerfs that, yes, you can debuff well, but your DPS threat has diminished a lot, and as Mara you don’t have a ton of survivability (unless you stop DPSing to go Monst) to make up for the diminished threat.
As evidence - I suspect we have less Mara’s playing recently than we ever have before, and I certainly haven’t heard bitching about Mara from the playerbase - when all other very effective DPS classes (BW/Sorc, SL/CH, WL/WL) regularly receive hate.
If everyone thinks Marauders are “balanced well” it probably means they don’t see them as much of a threat as the others, and arguably Mara should be tweaked upwards to be in line with the competition.
Agree with you.
Is see lots of Mara running sc/rvr but 90% of them are monstro spec.
90% of maras I see go monstro and it makes me sad cause I play a brut/sav mara and while wrecking ball, aoe kd, and all that jazz is fun. Just can't beat the feeling of the quick switch to pulverize->Guillotine. Absolutely love it.
Although I am one of the people that kind of agree mara is a good class that is well balanced. And I do not feel that it needs changes because I believe it to be in a good place, but as someone who used to play mara a long time ago (before nerfs) and someone who plays it now, I'd yeah sava/brut is lacking a tad, evidence of that is the amount of monstrorauders running around. I'm not saying it needs more power but I agree with statement above talking about much presence the monstrorauder has over the brutality/savagery marauder.
P.S. Anyone who sees this thread and immediately thinks people are crazy for wanting to "buff" mara its a very similiar discussion happening about WL. To clarify,
"Hey WL is a little crazy, it needs some nerfs"
to which the response is "All the dmg is in the pet, just kill it. And they have no WB spot".
The viewpoint is scewed and it requires people who actually play the class and game to have knowledge on the issues being discussed.
