Low level MRD, have a few questions

[SpookyGhost]

FB -> RB is 2 GCDs. Fracture is 1. Fracture does damage, keeps enmity, and is a DoT. It is literally your best option for holding hate on multiple mobs at a low level in every possible way. I don't know what you're trying to counterpoint here - you use it to do damage, and damage is enmity. Enmity modifiers do matter, yes, but you don't NEED one on Fracture for it to be the superior option in every possible way for low levels.

I'm sure it does give some enmity, all I'm saying is that while it may be *enough* to hold enough enmity to say, prevent the enemies from attacking the healer after a single Cure, maybe two, it has such low damage and no bonus enmity that it wouldn't hold hate over the dots on any other class, thunder/thunder II from BLM, bio/miasma/bioII from SMN/SCH, probably even an Aero from any class, let alone a single medica.

I've never really tested the enmity it gives you so you may be right, but like I said I can't see it as a viable method of keeping AoE enmity from the time it takes to get up Maim then Fracture every enemy. A single flash or overpower would work better by miles. Not trying to argue or anything, I just don't see how a 20 potency dot can really do anything enmity wise, I'm betting a single Cure II or regen ticking when you're at full health would pull a mob off that had no enmity except for Fracture

This was the reason I never incorporated Fracture into my rotation.

Maybe I play too much like a Gladiator at lower levels, but pre-30, I was just spamming Fast Blade -> Savage Blade, and rotating occasionally. I guess the fun of Marauder is having more tools to play with.

Yea the thing with Marauder is that you have the luxury of doing these things. After a flash and two overpowers you have tons of time to get maim up and dot everything before you have to worry about anything
