A Quick Question

[Venkman]

I really want to post a Mara guide for 1.1 (because that's all I've played). I know there are other guides, but none that focus on the Mara's actual purpose as I see it. Just how to get kills which, if you ask me, goes against the entire point of playing Mara (at least after humans get s2, anyway).

My question is: Would there be a point to writing the guide now, since 1.2 is almost done?

My assumption is "yes" because the changes I've read about don't seem to take away from the fact that the Mara is, at heart, a master-looter. It’s also a class that very few pub-server players seem to understand. But you know what they say about assumptions…

That’s why I’m asking first, to stop myself from making an "ass" out of "umption".

...Really though, I'm just trying to trick Draik into finally adding his own two cents on the subject instead of simply posting some link to a demo that doesn't even work and then shrugging it off with a "maybe someday I'll tell you what I know..."

A “someday” that Dracone says will never come. That is, unless Narcotics Anonymous finally starts allowing online attendance.

So don’t tell him, okay?

Cool, thanks. Now flame away…

...Exactly.

Post the guide and help me to become a master-looter too!

Sorry about the empty promises. My old computer finally crapped out on me and I lost the start of my guide. I'm up and running again though, so I'll try to have the new Mara guide done soon.

We would be honored if you would promote the knowledge and usage of Friend Mara. By all means, make your guide. mara hasn't changed much since 1.1 except for walljump pitching. I myself am doing a video guide for the 1.2 dretch. Maybe some1 will do a basi guide? (much needed)

Friend Mara is a friend for life, son.

And I'd love to have a dretch guide for 1.2. Frankly, I'd love to have any guide for 1.2 now that I've got my new computer and can actually get the game to work. I was testdriving Friend Mara 2.0 last night and, man, I don't know if I like the shortened range from bite to slash.

It just means I have to recallibrate my original jumping techniques, I know. But still, between lag and good dancing, the distance of an enemy was already so hard to read that I don't know if the attack NEEDED to be shortened (I wish you could just choose between bite and slash like the humans switch between primary and blaster).

Anyway, hopefully I'll get the hang of it.
