Its even worse now, because archer is actually more dmg.

Also marauders swing time is 4.2 seconds, so they may or may not have to look into weather the first hit once delay is gone is instant, otherwise running away will harm your dps even more, its hard to tell now, because the animations arent in place yet.

Regardless i hope they plan very rapid balance adjustments, since we are basically testers, at least we can test many things till they get it right, IN A SHORT TIME FRAME
Who said anything about dodging or running away? I said stun, not dodge. STUN. The rest is all positioning (within melee range.)
