MAA works the best once you understand how the other classes play on the battlefield. It’s usually my recommendation that the MAA be the last class you try to play with, because you want to understand the other classes first, and the best way of doing that is to actually play with them. Overall, timing, speed and distance are the most important components of the MAA. It can be insanely powerful once these are mastered, but it’s a much higher learning curve than the other three classes.
You can also check out my videos in the link below. Just got finished talking about the MAA and his Broadsword, which is now my favorite setup in the game.
Best of luck my friend! :D
