This video provides an optimal build for Mara in Fellowship. It covers talents, gear, relics, stat priorities, and rotations for both Bleed and Malevolence builds. This guide will help you maximize Mara's potential in both single target and AoE combat.
Damage patterns depend on the number of enemies and cooldowns, with cooldowns generally used as soon as they are ready.
The Malevolence build offers higher damage for skilled players, while the Bleed build provides more stable gameplay.
Each relic has its use, but Sin Binding Stone and Ancient War Stone are the best.
