Best weapon type for a Marauder?

I'm at the point where I need to make a decision on which type of weapon I want to use. So far, I've just used whichever weapon I have that is the best. Any suggestions?

This should be in the Marauder class discussion forum for a better response, but I'll try to help out where I can.

If you're going melee marauder (I assume), two-handed maces are on the general consensus of being the best weapon to use due to the only requirement to equip them is just strength itself, and as a Marauder you're chock full of it.

Two-handed axes and swords require an amount of dexterity to maintain on using them, but really it's your own preference and build! You can always supply yourself with dexterity from various nodes on the tree, or through use of a Jade (20–30 Dexterity) or Onyx (10–20 to all Attributes) Amulet.

You can be an unarmed boxing machine with Facebreakers, become a spell using marauder, or a bow marauder, whatever you prefer really! Just make sure your gems suit the weapon you're currently using of course, for example you cannot ground slam with a sword, so you may want to either use another attack gem such as Leap Slam, or just find/craft/buy a better mace!

Here's a link to the Marauder sub-forum to ask/glance at builds, and here is a simple build by NinjaArabStrategist with a basic guide to the character. Obviously, you don't need to follow the build word by word if you want to do your own custom version, but he includes a lot of information in regards to Marauders.

I play a heavy strike/ground slam marauder tank with a 1h mace and shield. I'm level 78 now and I have not done a single map with other ppl. For playing solo this kind of char is just great. You can have 5-6 auras running, it is easy to get 80% each resi and a decent amount of chaos resi, a high armor rating and a decent life pool. But on top of all the tank goodies you are still able to do way more than 10k dps with 6l ar or about 9k with 5l. I know this is not that much dmg but I think it is still good enough.
