Really cool class, def will be rolling one one these at some point. My only worry is how he fits into Karui lore. I mean obviously the women broke the rules and used bows to help out Kaom, but his warriors all used hand to hand mele as was their way. Whats the story/lore behind a spell casting Karui? Outcasted? Tribe Shaman? Would Kaom have ever allowed such things? Would the Karui gods even support a Karui who doesn't follow his ancestors ways?

The karui, while they feared and respected magic, did understand its value, and the tribal shaman was a big part of their culture. You hear often about Lavianga, Kaoms advisor, who seemed to be second only to Kaom in the hierarchy of Ngamakanui. So it wouldnt be a stretch to say that it would work well to fit as a shaman archetype.

And as for his ancestors ways, im pretty sure beating up Kaom and sending him back to the ancestors' halls would more than guarantee a spot with them in the afterlife once the marauder actually passes on, never mind defeating malachai into the bargain.

I really want to try crit infernal blow build with this class.Extra leech, penetration, fire dmg,ignite ,just honey on my heart.

personally, I dislike all the marauder's ascendancies...

Me too, what a shame

Non a single DECENT defense... not a single +x to all max resist....
Marauder should be the semi invincible class, instead we have pure thin air....

Once upon a time there was a huge barbarian with a two hands weapon.
Now we got totem -.-
3 classes and not even a single 2 hands melee bonus, pls do not talk about Berserker just take a look on the duelist classes.
So sad, Marauder was born for smashing heads not for being a fucking totem caster.
So sad and so disapointed

+10.000 from another italian dead in disillusion

So after the Mehzerker and Juggernope, we now have the Hankerchieftain... ugh.. I don't like any of the Marauder classes. Where are my overpowered, 2 handed wielding Marauders that can stand their ground in the midst of CoC builds, Reave builds, Blade Fall and Tornado shot builds that kill whole screens at once?

I really feel GGG missed a good opportunity here to bring melee out of the shithole it is now. When is the time for melee to shine again GGG? When? Throw me a bone!! (or 2)

Poe it's a great delusion for defenses. Apart from massive ES regen builds, that give some sort of survivability in mid maps, there is NOT a single decent form of defence

-armor sucks
-enduranche charges doesn't suffice
-constant nerf to + max resist (now even the elemental flasks will be nerfed!!!)

If you want the REAL defense, Torchlight 2 is the way: Skull of Limoany farming, and voilà, semi immortal

I just can't believe there is no ascendancy class for Marauder that boosts 2 handed weapon play style.

The sad thing is that this is the strongest among the marauder classes, and still not at the level of the other ascendancy, rip level 94 marauder, i really hope they change something before release or i really doubt Juggernaut and berserker will be played

Alot of negative comments on Marauder classes. Not sure if anyone looked again at the nodes for Berserker. Went from 100% increased damage to 40% more damage. That changes a lot for me.

More weirdly than that, it has changed to "40% more Beserker damage".

Not only is the class named Berserker, not Beserker, "Beserker damage" sounds like a type of damage rather than applying to all damage, which would be "40% more damage".

EDIT: Okay, clarified on Reddit (the real place to look for GGG information, not their own site.. sigh) that that this is a mistake and it should be saying "40% more damage". So nothing strange here apart from an elaborate typo.

But enough about such irrelevant details.

REVEAL THE SCION'S ASCENDANCY CLASS ALREADY, GGG.

Revealing the 18 classes available to the 6 other playable characters before revealing the Scion's single class is pure unadulterated evil.

I have mixed feelings about this. I enjoy the naming and somewhat the overall concept, but I think, it fits better to a templar. I understand the pain of all the babarian ...ahm, I mean marauder players .. who wanted a more 2h melee oriented class.

... solving the problems of balancing melee by turning melee class into a caster class, leaves a bitter taste in my mouth too..
