Class that is stuggling

[peterthepan3]

Don't listen to that dude ^

Marauder is still king of destro MDPS, there's just very few competent ones playing.

Melee WP for sure - 2 out of 3 WP trees are underperforming to call it softly. No WB will take melee healing or DPS spec, no 6-man either unless they can't fill the free spot. Even guarded and healed melee WP is easily nuked to death and brings nothing to the team to justify the effort needed to keep him alive. Buffs WP brings are lackluster, debuffs are laughable, damage is mediocre. It still looks cool tho

For warband:
Choppa, any dps healer but zealot/rp, white lion, wh/we

Hey guys. I was just curious which class is in the worst shape currently. I'm just picking the game up since the original game closed and I am notorious for picking the worst class when I start an MMO (anyone remember LoLRet from Wow? Yeah, that's the way I usually pick). Mara was may main in the original and I seem to recall it under preforming. I still loved it except for getting trounced in RvR. Anyway, what do you guys think? Thanks

dont pick mara. even if you'r masochist.

TB ( thonderous blows) has been nerfed ( 5 sec CD to 10 secs CD ) ( 1500 debuff wounds to 900 wounds).
also TB doesnt works with PB tactic ( piercing byte gives you bypass 50% armor if you use ability that requires mutations )
TB alsmo has been moved to 6 points sava to 13 points sava. at 6 points you can train Draining Swipe ( no worths at all)
TE ( terrible embrace ) is on int ( mara is pure str ) and is a cast ( interruptable ).
Monstro spec gives you a good sustenance but your dmg is too low. ( aoe stun from 3 secs to 2 secs )
savagery tree a bit nerfed.
brutality tree is good only for 3 things ( guillottine, mutated aggressor, growing instability)

if you like dps mele on destro i'd suggest you a choppa/dok melee or WE.

And yet mara remains solid in all aspects of the game, granted its hard to solo in a dps spec due to some of the stuff you run up against.

But few classes can boast its utility, its high burst potential and potential for suitability.

While you generally aren't all 3 of those things at once. you can have as much versatility as any class could want.

Its an enjoyable melee with some of the highest single numbers in game atm.

Lol @ saying Mara is bad

Award for the worst advice I've ever read on this board.

- Choppa the gimp of destro MDPS
- Dok Melee the class that needs decent gear/RR to be able to be of any use.

Mara is miles ahead of both, especially considering the fact that a RR40/40 mara is good to go and can only improve from there.

You should try and roll a choppa/dok melee, you will see how good your marauder is compared to them.

Did it cross your mind that Kajtarn and the other handful of other prominent DPS (of any class) have an army of guardbots because they happen to play better (reliably) than 95% of the playerbase, and are actually fun to play with?
From the point of making friends with tanks, gear and RR are not just a cakewalk (as per usual), but entirely to be considered a given.

well that's basically it.

Gear&RR + dedication to the class (aka long time player that has built a reputation) which brings in the Guard love.
How can a new ASW even compete? the guy might even play as good as him but he lacks everything else.
Ofc a player in that position is gonna perform better than the rest.

Enjoy good guards and heals

You can not possibly discuss classes with a focus on the best players. It's like discussing Slayers by using Rekkir as an example, of course it'll look good.

You have to take into account the average between best and worst, does the class do well in the hands of the median player.

Mhm, thinking about it...guess I have to concede this point, mhm, I completly forgot Kajtarn's beartrain skills ~ new players surely can't compete without the bear-hat, you are right.
All new ASW are - by default - muted and barred from applying their social skills until they acquire a bear-hat through Anniversary/Keg's End events and train 24/7 to deliver a 10/10 beartrain performance.
