While its still up in the air until the patch, marauder could be going in the same direction of being nerfed to complete uselessness since it looks like lancer will be able to outdamage it on a one on one basis, and gladiator is going to reclaim the tanking role with the abilities its getting.

Again though, we will have to wait until the patch to see, but exp parties where you are getting chains that net the party 20k exp in like 3-4 minutes using marauder are pretty much dead.
Personally I think the devs do want MRD to become a tank-oriented class, but I think the way they are going about the class overhauls will force it into a DD role.

I'm interested to see how this plays out though, I think MRD will still have viability in burn parties, even with cooldowns, etc. if you rock 4-5 MRD in a group we'll still be able to burn mobs pretty quickly, but obviously not as efficiently as we've been allowed over 1.19.
