Dear god increase the autoattack speed of marauder..

ARC: Average 4.2 delay. BUt Light shot isn't "just" light shot. Multishot isn't a basic action by its own...its actually part of light shot aswell. So we can say thatyou have a "virtual" 4.2 delay since you actually shot 4 arrows during the delay of 3 shots. So, if we get the 3 shots delay (4.2 x 3) and divide for 4 shots it would actually give you 3.15 delay. Even if we round up the 3 shots delay to match multishot recast (so assuming 3 shots would take 15 seconds), when you divide it for 4 shots you get 3.75 delay. Also, its important to point that ARC has raging strike that increases drastically the TP generation (since TP gain is proportional to damage dealt) and Trifurcate.

multishot/trifurcate only shoot 3 arrows, not 4. and you can't divide it up and average it out to 3.15 delay when after nocking just 1 arrow, you have to wait 15 seconds if you want to nock another one. And really, using Raging strike in your argument? My MRD uses Raging Strike too. And again, MRD should be the slowest with TP gain, they should also hit the hardest which they pretty much do. Not to mention no other melee can touch the crowd control damage of MRD.

I mean come on.. really? Look at your argument. You are reaching for straws. Did'n't see you mention how those PGL basic attacks cost them MP to use(not to mention MRD has basic attacks to help with TP too). LNC Comrade in Arms? It costs Lancer 500TP just to use it and it may miss, and it gives people like you in the party a huge TP boost. GLA having outmanouver? They get invited to tank, are not taking a role from you, and they have by far the lowest melee damage output in game.

Yes, MRD is about 1 second slower then the other mele...... which it should be. If you want to attack faster, don't choose a class that carries around 100lbs great axes. lets also not forget that when MRD is in its element, attacking multiple enemies, your TP generation is through the roof and way better then what the other classes can achieve.

I know MRD can use heavy, broad and full swings for TP...so does the other classes...so i just skipped it from everyone to make a easier to understand example since against a single target it would just make the damage output difference even bigger.

yep, you skipped them because it would have been counter productive to your argument. Don't worry, I would have mentioned it for ya
