Stay on topic, please

Now that the tactics are fixed, I don't think Marauders will need a nerf.

the one thing i want addressed about maras is the wounds debuff

maras have the highest wounds debuff with little or no requirement on low CD and high duration

WE needs to blow frenzy

BG needs to crit and a tactic

chosen needs to run a specific aura types

kotbs and sl both need to run an "inferior" playstyle with 2h

i just feel that TB is too good

The marauder has flexibility of using TB in all modes, but that in of itself it's own downside, as it doesn't combine with tactics such as piecing bite, the 5-sec cooldown is nice but it only comes up because in order to make the most of the high damage value you need to use it twice, 1st for wounds-debuff which makes a good solid hit irrelevant, 2nd for hard hitting attack. (I heard something about wounds debuff should only being applied after damage is done now. Confirm?)
Slayers in their ideal 2-hander spec have a wounds debuff of equal proportions, yet they still spec AoE because it's their more powerful treeline.

The TTK on a marauder is much higher than other DPS, and they are for the most part, back loaded burst, and they require Stance Dancing to be effective, i.e Use their finisher. They don't have the raw damage output of Slayers or Even White Lion. Marauders are about debuffs, that is their shtick.

There is not a mechanic trade off for using the wounds-debuff, except marauders need to spec for it to be effective.
