You CANNOT reach the full potential of the class if you stay in only one stance

This is the best and most viable mara build

You stack your debuffs, then switch to brut and use impale + giouttine

You are very strong but the class is not as easy to play as other mdps like slayer/choppa
Well I'm seeing some use Nerf Buttons and it's basically a 1 button class for them. For those of us who enjoy the challenge of mastering a class without NB, it's challenging to play, but also very powerful both in group and 1 vs 1.

You can chain everything in one macro, when something's on CD it just moves to the next skill. But I'm sort of anti NB lol, so I will always recommend people should not use it. :D

>mastering stance switching

That makes it sound like its really hard to do :^)

Pretty much what cory said though.

I think DEEP meta when you play mara comes down to changing your rotations slightly depending on the situation (cleanse wise) as in using certain abilities before you usually would or using abilities you almost would never use (1x rend) to bury certain debuffs even deeper. Mara being one of the only classes that has the luxury of having so many debuffs in number and variation that it is on its own allowed to bury things so deep they will never get cleansed in a realistic amount of time. And when it comes to those debuffs they are the strongest in their class.

If you look at the builder cory linked you will also notice that literally every ability and tactic in the mastery tree is solid or VERY good, which is why the class is amazing. Then you look at the tactics you do take.... and they all scale **** amazingly allowing the class to go from good to #1 in the game.
