Build Role

Marathon Runner is the single highest-impact talent in the game per point. Every build, regardless of weapon or archetype, benefits from more Stamina.

Math Example

Base Stamina pool of 100 becomes 150 at rank 3 Marathon Runner (+50 flat). On an Endurance-9 character, the Stamina pool comparison is approximately: rank 0 = 100, rank 3 Marathon Runner = 150, +18 Endurance (18 x ~2.5 Stamina per point) = 145. The talent at rank 3 gives more Stamina than 18 points in Endurance, for 3 talent points.

Notes

• Flat additive, does not scale off attributes. A Strength-focused Crusher benefits the same as an Endurance-focused Marksman.

• The most commonly-recommended first pick on every build tier list.
