Ferocity + Bloodbath = Follow

I'll admit, Ferocity + Bloodbath is a pretty decent combo, but as it stands right now, Second Wind isn't really an effective skill for Marauders to use.. atleast not during the middle of a battle.

In my opinion, Second Wind is best used at the end of a fight, to get a quick boost of HP in the event you want to attack another monster right away. The Stamina lost when using Second Wind during the middle of a fight could be better used for more offensive attacks.

Blood Bath is the same way when being used by a different class, it uses too much stamina for the modest HP gains to be truly effective in the middle of a fight. I rarely use Blood Bath on my Lancer or Gladiator, and instead use the extra stamina and time to land a few extra hits. The way I see it, the quicker the monster dies, the less damage you will take, hence, the less healing you will need.

Btw, I've tried Raging Strike + Ferocity on my Marauder and Gladiator and unfortunately I'm not seeing amazing results. At lower levels, Raging Strike or Ferocity seemingly gave about 50+ damage to the next weapon skill, but with both combined, I never noticed significant increases in comparison to just using one.

i've read somewhere that there's a limit to how much hp you get back despite your damage output. something like 25-35% of your max hp can be returned. i'll have to look it up. I thought it'd be dead sexy to stack raging strike, ferocity, and bloodbath... but the hp gain isnt as great. Still tasty albeit.

From what i remember, you lost Ferocity buff when you missed your hit which could cause problems if it was being relied upon to prevent death. I know quite alot i would end up Going Ferocity > Bloodbath > Trunksplitter and then i would miss even with STR VIT and DEX all equal stats.
