Marauder Build Poll

You mean barrage -> orb -> barrage or barrage -> orb -> DU -> barrage instead of barrage -> DU -> FF or barrage -> DS -> barrage isn't appealing?

How about DS -> orb -> DS? Sure would be mighty sexy damage at max level.

By the way, i think it's better to think of orb compared to another skill in terms of total % you're doing in a single attack. Still not that high compared to DS on a mob of like 4-5, but it's pretty fast by itself still and it's awesome for single target chains. o.o It's not like CL is noted for it's spectacular mob ability either.

Its just a little bit better than drain and maybe slightly better than blast on 2 monster mobs. That doesn't mean its worth 30 4th job SP though. Not to mention blasts animation is super fast. Drain may lose out slightly in pure dmg but orb doesnt heal you.
