Marauder in-depth Discussion

[MedV]

If only tactics that are tree specific retained at least a bit of their functionality outside of the exact tree specific mutation, because if you want to push mara to it's limit you are forced to stance-dance (unless you are on moral-drain duty).

Stance dancing isnt that hard. You should put the stance switching ability on your hotkeys, then do a rotation and press the hotkey to switch, it basically is just using another ability. (It also does not take a gcd, so you can use sav ability switch to brut and use guillotine in 2 gcds.

Brute force is necessary tactic for mara because of the str soft cap (1050 str). I'm using bf,pb,gi and dc and sometimes i choose flanking (%15 more damage) instead of dc. If you use fof instead of bf you damage will be sustained about 900-1k but if you use bf and catch the soft cap your damage will be increase so you can hit much more.
