( I won't talk much about Monstro Mara because he is only good for morale drain and loking stupid thats it.)
I know my grammar is bad I'm not english, deal with it.
The problem on Mara itself is, he has awesome skills but absolute every skill is terrible to use.
Best example ist "Mutated Energy" You have to Disrupt an enemy spell( don`t know why that nearly never happens im just having 37% Disrupt ....) THAN you can cast in on an enemy and after that, the enemy has to cast so that he gets knocked down..... why not knockdown, finish? That would atleast gave us a reason why he has no usefull knockdown against mdps or just everyone.
The next problem on Mara is, that i stopped counting how many BW's and other squishys just ran away from me because the just used a CD and i couldn't do anything against it because they became immune to snare/slow and just run while /laughing .... He has nearly any chance because every other mdps class has a knockdown, pounce, dash,100% parry 3 seconds, blah. or even more than one of this skills....
That you can't pull enemies from Keep walls with "Terrible Embrace" is another problem, i think its a serious crappy single target pull with 30 second cooldown, has low range and it has 2 seconds cast time with a terrible range, it would really awesome if he could pull enemies from keep walls( not through walls....) so that enemies aren't comepletely safe on walls anymore, i understand that Magus and Engi pull shouldn't be able to do so. ( live server flashbacks without AOE cap.... ).
He has "Concussive Jolt" as AOE knockdown deep in monstro tree but we all know this skill is far beyond terrible and just makes your options and damage even worse.
"Wave of Horror" is awesome against melees but terrible against every rangedps because it has a 30ft range.
5 Seconds cooldown on mutations is the next problem, you can't even buff yourself or debuff your enemy while fighting to counter your downsides atleast a little bit " Mutating release","Pulverize" and "Guillotine" are the key words.
So Mara is at the moment a broken **** show, he has tons of tools he can't use in any way worth mentioning. The Morale drain Mara is the only real usefull tree but lets be honest.... its a stupid 2 button beyblade and its a shame to play him like this.
You can't burst enemies, you can't bring enemy healers in serious danger and you can't even say you can get enemy healers on their nerves.
If you spec "Exhausting Strikes" you get ap drain but loose "Mutated Agressor" and your damage becomes a joke.( Savage Mara)
Brutality Mara is not even playable, you have really nothing, no damage, no cc, no healdebuff, no drain and you use 2 skills and have 0 AP ....
So in my eyes Mara has the following problems and i can't see any strengh that is compensating this weaknesses :The AP costs are far to high for the amount of things he can do, you have no burst, you have no usefull cc, you are not tanky, everything you do, can be done by other classes far better ( Morale drainer not included .... ).
These are my thoughts on the problems with Mara,I don't want him to become a one man army, for that we have already WL, but atleast give him a soul, please.
I know its a group based RvR game but i seriously see no reason why anybody should take a Mara in his wb, only one Monstro for Morale drain and looking stupid.
