The only problem with marauder is that marauder builds are not in favor anymore. He's no longer by far the best life class, and crit is the current meta. They need to either make marauder builds better, or make crit worse. Ranger just got revamped, wtf. Ranger isn't in need of a revamp at all. The issue is that Marauder got the last of the old tree revamps. They've rethought how they want to format the trees, and I would expect a small touch up to a bunch of nodes and maybe some pathing decisions for marauder to accompany the changes. gosh, I hope so mors. I really dont like the marauder tree atm, not so much the tree but the pathing once you try and get somewhere else. The old marauder to templar lifeline from open beta was ruthlessly efficient, where moving to duelist always felt a bit dirty. I can see why they would want to shift that trend we had back then but I feel like its just bad both ways now. I never feel like Ive made an efficient build with a marauder on the current tree. I agree with sep that ranger is really strong too, actually I've been finding builds that work better with a shadow now instead of ranger or witch, which is a nice change. All 3 of those starts feel good to me, good enough to warrent changes to templar, marauder and duelist to make those classes as efficient.

Grat! I'm really looking forward to the changes of the Templar starting area. Imho this needed a change quite desperately. Duelist is going to be interesting too.	Posted by reinimax#0294 on Nov 20, 2014, 3:19:17 AM Quote this Post

I am very pleased with the Templar revamp. I hope to see a buff for the Marauder and Scion start nodes and maybe even the life/evasion cluster near acrobatic. minion stats: http://goo.gl/gQxs0w Modifiers: http://goo.gl/jGIr8b Zombie dps calculator: http://goo.gl/XIStJV	Posted by Galax201#1110 on Nov 20, 2014, 3:49:36 AM Quote this Post

yeah !!! tree changes to the templar. Templar is bt far my favo char and i always been playing templar, but after so many patches his start wasnt that good anymore. I hope he gets some deserved buffs and the Old Man No Pants can shine again. Bad Seed	Posted by Baristo#6732 on Nov 20, 2014, 4:36:39 AM Quote this Post

My friends and I, we hate that! Let me be clear: We love PoE. And we love our characters, we have played them for months now, and they slowly grew to what they are now. And we do not want to respec. We are very much satisfied with them. When will the day come when PoE is in it's final version? When will the skilltree finally stay the same? So that we don't have to plan all our characters again and again and again, not knowing beforehand if my RF Marauder will still work, if my Duelist will still work as intended and so on. I know people love theorycrafting and building new chars. But there are thousands of casual players who are playing old characters and want to continue to do so. And for them skilltree changes are a real big pain in the ***. Because rebuilding a char means 1-3 hours of not playing the game. With 8 characters and 1-3 hours of playtime a day (max), to use myself as an example, that means 1 WEEK of not actually playing PoE, only to be able to play again. When will this stop? This, 1000 times. WTF are you talking about? you will lose 1-3 hours of not playing the game for each of your 8 chars? you serious right now? Also if the don't do meta-changing the tree, adding/changing skills, nerf/add uniques etc THEN whats the point in PoE? challenge leagues are useless then, so are the races, pvp etc.. Playing dumpster leagues with no changes at all.. wow -very good game- In other words you want a game that doesn't move and progress...right...then this game is not for you. You can play something else instead or adapt to this motive which is clearly how this game is growing and getting more mature. (10 year plan, remember?)

Nice contente incoming, really love the way GGG tease us about new skill tree ! Doot	Posted by TightenedBlood#0840 on Nov 20, 2014, 4:46:36 AM Quote this Post
Templar, Marauder and Duelist need revamps because of access to the other parts of the tree in the first place, good at least 2 of them are getting it and I hope that issue will be solved. I mean as ranger, shadow, witch you don't feel like you're wasting too ma,y points to travel but as the other 3 outside you do. If one the marauder needed it more though. Marauder used to be the 'life tank' in some way but gl in trying to get a lot of life as a marauder since the old revamp while also taking some damage. I found it very strange already back in the day, I actually haven't played a marauder since then. And I used to love them, avatar says enough :p Last edited by leto2626#2588 on Nov 20, 2014, 5:18:30 AM	Posted by leto2626#2588 on Nov 20, 2014, 5:04:22 AM Quote this Post
