[Mara] Any guides?

[Aebel]

I'm having trouble finding up to date guides on builds for Mara, I'm basically just looking for a good SC build and a good WB build to use while I level. Any help would be great!

Hey there.
You can take a look at the Mara section of our warband guide: viewtopic.php?p=556322
As for scenario/small-scale builds, you can go for the same gear (and renown points) as in the guide, but with different masteries and tactics.

So, i guess scillful Marauders dont want to share knowledge. Sad

WB AoE :

40/40
RoR.builders - Marauder

40/70
RoR.builders - Marauder

Scenario/RvR group Single Target

40/40
RoR.builders - Marauder

40/70
RoR.builders - Marauder

While leveling up, in WB build just take all the Monstro good stuff. Brutality you can go after.

Regarding ST build i’d focus on +50% crit damage tactic and guillotine (always crits, so hits like a truck) first. Then go Savagery and get Cutting Claw. Thunderous Blow should also hit hard.

You could swap out corrupted edge tactic for deadly clutch, depending on your group setup.

Thank you so much! Could you also give some hint about stats? Heard AoE scales poorly from str and good from weapon skills. Will weapon skills be rather universal stat for different types of gameplay, or str is much-much beter if i need solo target?

And what offensive/defensive caps is our goal?

I would believe strenght is still the first choice stat, in all specs, like in terms of talismans. You’ll pick some weapon skills from gear pieces, and in Piercing Bite tactic you got a flat 25% armor penetration with gift-specific abilities.
When you in WB spec you’ll get your defensive stats from Hulking Brute tactic.
Also if you mix sets, you usually end up with a neat x2 strenght + wounds bonus.
Don’t quote me on caps as am a returning player, but i believe 900-1000 strenght is about as much as you want to have.

For AOE Mara your most important mainstat is Weapon Skill.
Your gear and talisman choice should reflect that (feel free to check the Mara section in the wb guide in my signature or from the link I posted 3 comments above for specifics)

Strength becomes more worth it for ST builds.
You can also verify that through this guide viewtopic.php?p=567839#p567837

Yea am sure you are right, i’m probably not the best person to ask about stats or stat caps. It’s better someone else answers that.

SC ST is Solo roam or?

[toffikx]

Could be, but it’s mainly for scenarios/rvr with 2-6 people.
Solo roam you could go like WB spec, but you swap out monstro morale drain tactic for Guillotine ability in brutality.

Also updated the mastery trees.
