Can you PLEASE STOP NERFING MARAUDER?!?!?

[JackDaniels]

Sick of people saying this game is becoming like FFXI, would you prefer it start to shape up like WoW? FFXI was a damn good game, but now incredibly outdated. FFXIV is well.. it was completely just bad, what's wrong with updating *certain* features of FFXI and incorporating them into FFXIV?

this is a MRD thread, your flaming and raging on a MRD thread and yout post had absolutely nothing to do with MRD. Air your issues elsewhere.

Good to hear magic can be useful on melee.
I heard Drain got a nice boost as well, may need to try that out.

The absorb stat spells are useful now, yes.

Drain got buffed too, but it still costs like 90 MP. That's kinda a lot.

You know, i really dig how marauder feels right now. Call me crazy but for the first time in a long time it feels complete.

Considering I am able to both Tank and DPS Ifrit as Marauder. Yes. Feels Awesome!

Mrd has never been more powerful than it is now. Complaining about a nerf is retarded.

Yep, MRD is by far the most powerful class atm. OP, you're doing something wrong, I'd say.

She's not. she was talking about Maim...and it does was nerfed...so it was no one uses it anymore. Same for murderous intent...i understand the change because now critical hits deal way more damage than pre-1.19...but still, negative adjustments do are considered nerf.

Just because Storm's Path is the current best WS ingame (it ALWAYS was the best AoE WS of the game...MRD always had the best WS set of the game...Maim as the best 2k+ TP, Skull Sunder as cheap WS and Storm's Path as AoE WS) it doesn't means Maim wasn't nerfed...or Murderous Intent.

And, anyway, MRDs need to have fun while it last...balancing never was the strongest aspect of this dev team...MRD is now as ARC was before 1.19...and look what happened to ARC. I wouldn't be surprised in it having some retard "adjustment" at 1.20 that change Storm's Path to single target WS... :/

I would disagree about calling the adjustment to Maim a "nerf".

Tanking Ifrit I can use Maim every minute(or less with Keen Flurry) and deal 650-700 damage.
The real benefit here is that I can combine that with Bloodbath so I can cure myself for over 700 and save the mages some MP. Yes, Storm's Path is awesome, but no other WS is worth putting Bloodbath on over Maim.

If anything I would say make the recast on Maim 45 seconds, the same as Bloodbath.
But with Keen Flurry it may make that much of a difference anyway.

I do. Maim wasn't meant to be Bloodbath's whore. Increasing recast without any other bonus do is a nerf.

The thing is...they did this change to prevent "Maim-over-Maim". I did this so many times before 1.18 i got tired...and this is what they didn't want...that's why they shortened the effect duration and increased recast...right now, even if you to everything right (Maim > wait basic AA trigger/use siphon/have Invigorate II active > 3 basic attacks > Maim), the exposed effect would be gone by the time the second Maim popped.

It was possible before 1.18...i could toss a second maim over exposed effect and get around 30% extra damage...but now, even if the bonus was 100%, MRD couldn't take full benefit of it...right now Maim is just like Comrade in Arms...an action that actually was made to other party members to use.

And, anyway, you can heal way more with Second Wind II than Bloodbath. But still, i'm looking to Maim mechanics alone...it's easy to see why they did the changes, but this is not an excuse to say it wasn't nerfed. It's the same of saying Victimize wasn't nerfed because now you can use retaliation actions on misses...of course this is why they increased Vic recast...but still, even though it's understandable, it's still a nerf.
