[Mara] Current state of the class?

[nocturnalguest]

I tried to enlighten you. Expected nothing else to be honest. If anyone actually wants to play the class in a smallscale group setting and be successful, you know where to find me.

No efforts wasted to be fair. Being in same situations i calm myself that there has to be someone sane enough to read and analyze and who will not conclude that "mara is bottom tier crap" according to common forums echo&vibes. So such posts like yours are also nice reality checks for regular forum dwellers. People say that all those "elitists" are toxic etc, while in reality its way too toxic for anyone skilled and knowledgable to interact with forums.

I can bet none gonna contact you to gitgud tho. Sad stuff

for the post above, it is possible to sort capabilities of any class like this.
Any class is S tier if you know how to play.

These are my recent experience below for mara:
After the changes, it is not possible to be tanky and do insane damage as in past so if you wanna do damage, need to drop def stats and focus offensive stats more.
Str/melee power damage scale is sucks for mara and damage is coming from high armor pen and crit so try to get more ws and crit chance as possible.
Because of low str, your base damage will be low against low armor classes but you will able to hit crit more often so this will cover your low str.

Mara is hardcore class. If you wanna easy win, play dps dok/wp.

That sounds like you are talking about solo gameplay. Why would any class be able to be tanky and do insane damage. What exactly are you complaining about here? I am talking about small scale group gameplay with other people enhancing your gaming experience.

The only other class more tanky than Mara from a dps pov is dps dok on destro. So yeah. I‘ll stop here. If you guys really believe Mara is not borderline broken in small scale currently nobody can help you. I tried to enlighten you. Expected nothing else to be honest. If anyone actually wants to play the class in a smallscale group setting and be successful, you know where to find me.

Enjoy your misery guys.

Why should I be in misery? I'm doing pretty great with my mara so wanted to help ppl who seek advice. You just gave useless tooltip info.
And I was not talking about solo.
