A Different Way to Play

[DSaint]

Blood for Blood and Raging Strikes on a marauder leads to a lot of burst dps potential. The soul crystal only accounts for 10 STR (compared to 30 STR/DEX for the dps classes) and you're exclusively losing only tanking abilties.

Strictly speaking for dpsing/off tank dpsing, marauder triumphs warrior in burst dps. Everywhere else though like actual tanking? lolno.

That being said though, marauder tanking is still feasible depending on some circumstances; I turn off defiance when I'm tanking dungeon bosses, though this is after I've done my initial unchained pull. I don't think I'd have trouble as a marauder unless the dps is going buck wild.

If you turning off your defiance or going MRD while tanking, you are giving more trouble to your healer. Healer needs to stop dps to keep TWO eyes into you so u can RS every 3 minutes. Even worse if your healer is a scholar. Sch dps is gold. More than a 3 min cd buff.

I'm not saying War dps > Mrd dps. I'm just saying, for raid/group content, its not wise.
Btw, if your Mrd is just going for dps or aoe, I will gladly trade him for a DRG.
