Marauder

The Exiled Marauder

His visage marked equally by tribal tattoos and the scars of battle, the imposing Marauder is a survivor of many bloody battles. The clanging, scraping and screaming of war is music to his ears, and he delights in crushing the skulls of his foes underfoot. He is a monster of a man, towering above his cohorts and quick to show his strength and ferocity. A master armsman, the Marauder is versed in many weapons, but he generally prefers the heft of a heavy two-handed axe or mace. He plunges into battle with a cry of delight, and woe be to anyone foolish enough to get in his way.

The Marauder is Path of Exile's pure strength class, which means that he's great at taking hits, and even better at dishing out punishment. His melee skills encompass a wide range of assault, from massive single target damage to devastating area of effect. This brute of a man bolsters his impressive physical arsenal with a variety of shouts and cries, skills that rally his allies and strike terror into the hearts of his enemies. The Marauder's starting stats are 32 STR, 14 DEX and 14 INT.

The armors associated with the Marauder's strength are Casques, Plate Mail, Gauntlets, Greaves, and Tower Shields.

Text and Speech

The Marauder is voiced by New Zealand actor, Damien Caine.

Intro speech

"I am a warrior. I was born to fight, raised to defend my tribe. Now, I have been taken from my people, chained and exiled by cowards who fear Death.

Death is my brother. I do not fear him. I see him in the eyes of the men and beasts that I kill. I feel him travelling beside me to this new land, this Wraeclast. He will take me to meet the ancestors when I am ready, and I am not ready."

Character Dialogue

Upon reaching level 2: "Dominus wanted me to die here. I will disappoint him."

Upon reaching level 30: "This land has forgotten how to use strength... I will remind it."

On the Terraces: "Ugh. This land ... is wounded."

On entering The Solaris Temple: "Strange. Age has not touched this place."

On entering The Lunaris Temple: "This is where pain comes to worship."

Sometimes when killing a rare monster: "And stay dead!"

Upon killing General Gravicius: "A warrior fights from the front, a coward dies on his back."

Full inventory: "I cannot carry this."

Using skills in town: "It would be wrong to do that here."

Out of mana: "My mana is gone."

Not enough Intelligence: "I don't know how to use this yet."

Not enough Dexterity: "I'm not swift enough to use this yet."

Not enough Strength: "I'm not strong enough to use this yet."

Unique NPC Dialogue

Nessa's Introduction: "Tala moana, Marauder of Ngamakunui. No need to be surprised, Karui. My father and I were amongst those who tried to save your people from ignorance and damnation. My father paid for his arrogance with his life. I'm still paying for mine. I'm Nessa. And I suppose I should thank you for ridding us of Hillock, that putrid giant you felled out there. Be careful in the days to come. Karui savagery is nothing when compared to the ferocity that is Wraeclast."

Bestel's Introduction: "A mighty Marauder, marooned on a moribund mainland. That's the first line of the poem I'm writing about you, exile. Easy, lad. You could gut a bloke with a look like that. The name's bestel, captain of the good ship 'Merry Gull'. Alas, my Merry Gull is gone. My crew is gone. But my wits remain... after a fashion."
