Pros/Cons of each Marauder build

Heh.

Dusk, if everyone could and was willing to do their own math, we wouldn't need DPS comparison threads.

DPS threads require a little more math than a simple ratio comparison of two skill levels.

Wow. im convinced-

mobbing in 4th job - dragon strike + blast/shockwave

single target - barrage + DU

bosses - drain/barrage/dragon strike/DU

as of now im maxing shock + blast

EDIT: not to mention that shock + blast take the most of a hit for those 9 lost points

DU + Barrage + Flash Fist works better. I don't know if your order was just not the way you'd do it in game, but either way, you can fit an extra flash fist in before barrage's delay is over, so if you're not moving you may as well add the flash fist in (macro if it helps).
