i'm torn between those 2 classes

[Tanski]

Depends on what you want really.

In solo/small scale , Mara is a Tansky debuffer that can go regen build solo or output good ST dmg with group.

RSH is one of the scariest rdps right now and the skill discrepancy between good and bad ones is very obvious.

In WB play, Mara has good aoe, while also providing aoe knockdown , morale drain, and initiative debuff to name a few

Melee squibs provide CD increased, mobility to pounce on back line and dish out aoe burst

If you go squig you also have the choice of two drastically different play styles to spice up your gameplay

Both are good in scs/ small scale and in wb play. You can’t go wrong really

SH is a great medium range skirmisher wich can be very bursty and feels like fast swift gameplay.
I would say its easyer then mara to get used to but also has proper mastering potentional like Taz says, a good SH will just shrek you but a bad SH is freenown.

About mara
There are allot of misconcepts about mara same as about basically every class i think on this server or allot of classes atleast.
You want to stance dance allot, a good mara will know how to use all 3 stances to its potentional and a bad mara will stick to 1 stance.
It has decent aoe potentional and CAN be great ST burst once you get youre debuffs off.
You have savagery stance wich is youre debuff stance, Brutality stance wich is youre burst stance wich also has Impale wich is youre bread n butter spammable and then you have monstro stance wich is youre aoe or defensive proc stance when under pressure.
If i would give you 1 tip for mara, debuff with sav and swap brut for dmg spam/burst.
Use monstro when under pressure.

Both classes are good but SH has a higher skill level than mara. Playing ranged you have to know how to kite like a pro and use your entire skillset, otherwise you usually end up dogmeat. Even melee is not super easy since you don't have the defense of a pure mdps class (not without good gear, at least), so you need to learn how to position yourself while still doing damage.

Mara on the other hand is easier to play (in aoe spec). Good, well geared, maras are always among the top dps in the charts, and to make it all nicer you are quite a tanky mdps as well. Mara also has a very good ST spec, but harder to learn than the aoe spec.

Both of these are mdps too, though; so until you are rank 60 and at least vanquisher, don't expect to join a lot of organised warbands. I suggest joining a guild that does them; then they will probably take you even when you just dinged 40 and are in annihilator gear (please use talis tho, don't be that guy).

Thx guys, one last question, SW or SH ? is any of them better than the other ? or that's just a reskin

[Valarion]

Both classes are viable and fun, so I'd genuinely recommend leveling both and deciding for yourself.

sw has better dd, great init debuff and a ~viable~ melee spec

sh is the way better skirmisher bcuz pet and gobbo racial tactics, also has a range debuff

[Martok]

some other advices?

Marauder is more fun. But that is just my opinion I could be wrong.

There's actually a very recent thread that asks just that question. A lot of good info there comparing the two. They have some similarities but are pretty different when it comes to aoe specs.
