    Cross class skills for Marauder solo play?

    What are all the cross class skills I should be using on my Marauder for solo play? I know what I should be using for my WAR when I'm tanking, but playing MRD solo is a bit different. What are your guys suggestions?

    I have 10 slots to fill :P

    Would the benefits of Defiance and Inner Beast not outweigh the extra cross class abilities from Marauder when soloing?

    I can understand a DPS-build Marauder using Blood for Blood and Raging Strikes/Internal Release/Straight Shot/Invigorate though.

    You won't need Quelling Strikes, Provoke, Flash, Convalescence or Mantra if soloing.

    Protect? (you're soloing, so nobody else using it!)
    Virus? (very handy!)
    Stoneskin? (+10% Max HP Barrier)
    Featherfoot (Dodge)
    Keen Flurry? (Parry)
    Second Wind? (Heal)
    Feint? (Slow)
    Haymaker? (Slow again)
    Venomous Bite? (DoT)

    If you're trying to do damage, you may want to instead use damage buffs in place of a few of those.
    I'd suggest Raging Strikes, Internal Release, Blood for Blood and Invigorate in place of Virus, Haymaker, Feint and Venomous Bite

    The list with question marks against them were "suggestions", but I'd not leave home without the above skills on the bar.
    Just be careful of 'Blood for Blood' if you're soloing - more damage to the mob, but more damage to you!

    (it might also be worth levelling your Chocobo up if you're soloing outside of instances - it'll keep you healed and contribute to DPS noticeably!)
