Alright guys, thank you for all the anwser.

I'm now level 11 and I'm following this ( http://waronlinebuilder.org/#career=mar ... 7:;0:0:0:0: )

Where did I start putting point? Savagery or Brutality first?

Savagery, for a multitude of reasons but the main one being that you need to get deadly clutch tatic, much of maras legendary surviveablity comes from that tactic

Savage

I personally play Brutality at R26 but I also have a lot of Mara experience. For most people, Savagery will be more effective at this level.

I beat Marauders one-on-one with my Knight. I guess that means Knights are the most OP melee in the game! derp

Most defenisve tanks will give Maras a hard time. If you can out DPS their heal proc but out survive the Mara DPS you win.

I never used that NB, recall I tried to but gave up, seems to take away alot of the "skill" in the game, I stancedanced with mine,Thunderous blow > Cutting Claw > Tainted Claw > then finish it in brut stance with the execution. I played on Karak Azgal and Karak Norn? They put em all in one server anyway, I went under the name Fleshcrwl.

It takes away what little mechanical skill a tab target combat might have, I don't think it is that big of a deal. Setting up proper sequences and using the right ones for the right situation is something only a good player can really do anyways. At best it is increases efficiency of players by allowing them to cycle through a rotation slightly faster (talking in terms of like 10ms per skill at best).

This isn't a game where a single person can carry, you look at the "best" players on here and from live and they always have the support structure of a group behind/with them almost always.

Skill apart from mechanical comes down to picking the right targets, using CC effectively, and positioning etc... Which will honestly get you farther than mechanical skill in this game. But of course you have to play with a good group, you can't do it alone.

Ofc but it makes is less fun to play imo, one button mashing? No effort at all just program the sequence ? A really unfair advantage and the GCD gets mashed?.

And yes many had solid groups, most of the top tier Slayers on the server I was playing on had perma guard/ 900 healers and the Xylophone( hacker?) and his 4000 healboys heheh, I ran with like 2 peeps a Shaman named Tuna and another marauder but he quit, people dont notice the PEOPLE behind the player! the HEALERS are the one that MAKES and GIVES the kills, people tend to look blindly on STATS. I usually soloed in zones and won alot of fights , good times!

The Marauder was not that great when I started but when they got the right setup as WL with the bonus critdmg instead of lesshp = more dmg they started to shine

I remember the first name you have in your sig, what did you play and was it on EU?

have a nice evening sir!

I agree, the most troublesome fights I had was with one IB and some KOTBS
