Marauder (MRD) Actions, Traits and Role Actions

The marauder is a combat specialist whose weapon of choice is the greataxe—a fearsome arm emblematic of Eorzea's pirates. Their approach to battle is one of brute force, relying on strength and steel to crush enemies and sunder weapons.

They are highly sought after for their ferocity and intimidating presence, and are often employed to hunt down monsters plaguing the land, or to turn the tide of battle between warring nations. Throwing axes such as the francisca supplement the marauders' arsenal, making them fearsome adversaries even at range.

Below is a list of current actions and traits for the Marauder class.

By completting quests the Marauder can become a Warrior.

As a Marauder you should be focusing on VIT as this increases HP. However STR will be beneficial when off tanking.

Actions

Actions are skills that the Marauder can equip to their bar and select to use at any time as long as their timer is available. Actions used in a combo will generate additional damage and effects. All Marauder actions are exclusive to that job.

Role Actions

Since the Stormblood expansion for FFXIV, cross class actions were removed and replaced with the concept of "role" actions. Role actions are more generic as they don't belong to specific classes, but instead to roles such as melee DPS, magic DPS, healer or tank. The Marauder can equip up to 10 of these.

	On the ps3, Bring up the Actions & Traits screen. Go to the 'Additional' option. You can then select the cross trait you want. Once you've selected them, you can add them to your hot bar.

	I'll look into Bloodbath tonight. As for Defiance, it is a Warrior skill. WAR being the job for MRD.
Anonymous	Sep 01, 2013 - 17:50:22 \| Location: Nowhere, In a Box
	Bloodbath has changed since this was put up. It now converts 25% of physical damage dealt into HP for the duration of the ability, and not just for the next attack.

	What id "Defiance"? Is it a skill? I can't see that skill on the page.

	In the combos section you forgot to list Heavy Swing -> Skull Sunder -> Butcher's Block.
