[Suggestion] Making marauder more specialized based on its patterns:

[Valor]

I honestly don't think MRD should be sooo so based around Pirates. I mean GLDs aren't viewed as Knights.

Honestly, I love playing MRD, I like the fact that I have some leeway in the way I can play. If I wanted my MRD to be a tank, I could. If I want my MRD to be a DD it can be. And if I want my MRD to be a crowd controller, then gosh darn it let me do it!

If anything, I think that we should have the ability to be one handed or two handed. Especially if they want to be realistic and base it on Axe fighting styles.

Besides with the lore in the game as is, the Pirates just happen to own the Maruader's Guild, and it has nothing to do with Axe's, it's more just to run their operations in a slightly more legitimate way since they don't like the Musketeer Guild. I may be understanding the Quests wrong.

I also don't remember seeing many of the Pirates actually 'using' axes in the cut scenes either. Mostly guns or swords. (but I might of just blocked it out because it didn't mentally fit)

Valor is right, Marauder is called with "斧術士" in japanese version. (斧術士=Axe user)
Marauder guild in Limsa are pirates who use axe as their weapon, I'm meaning that Pirates aren't all of Axe Users.
But since pirates are the only axe user groups exist on Eorzea now, it's ok if we think that FFXIV's Axe user is pirates.


*Whether pirates or any others jobs, I still play "Marauder" as my main because I LIKE AXE!*


about one handed issue. If I remember correctly Marauder guild said that they won't use tiny axe like Botanist, right?
so if they will use one handed style, they may use Monkey Grip hehe >.<.
one more thing. Pirates in my memory are using musket and scimitar not axe ' w ' and if they smash their axe on their ship, it should be sunk...

[Valor]

I honestly don't know why the axe throwing distance is so short...

I can throw an Axe further than my character can currently. Which is just silly.
