Good to hear magic can be useful on melee.
For frontal business i would stick with Transcedence + Absorb-ATK. It's lasting 1min20' now...so you can keep it going full time since the effect lasts longer than recast. I just don't know how well it's accuracy on big dudes...at 50ish mobs i'm having some very decent magic acc even without rings so i still believe DRK-Wannabe setup is valid.
I heard Drain got a nice boost as well, may need to try that out.

Very true.Do murderous intent first.
I'm usually the tank so what I have to do is run behind the mob first. Kinda annoying.
Since I use a controller it's very easy for me to unlock target, run straight until behind the mob, lock on target which turns me around, and then hit them from behind.
Hitting them with Jarring Strike or Leg Sweep first makes it even easier.



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.

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



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".She's not. she was talking about Maim...and it does was nerfed...so it was no one uses it anymore.

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.



First of all, the thread title is "Please stop nerfing Marauder", not "Please stop nerfing Maim".
Second of all, Maim does more damage than before, but is balanced with a longer cooldown. A buff and a nerf, it all evens out.
