We did take a glimpse of what a Marauder is in Path of Exile. Now, let us tackle on an Ascendancy Class of Marauder, the Juggernaut.
If you like a class that is more focused on defense and damage reduction, then the Juggernaut is a good choice for you as your Ascendancy Class.
Path of Exile Items: Brief Overview
Taken from the Path of Exile gamepedia, a Juggernaut is:
The Juggernaut class revolves around defenses, providing physical damage reduction through armour and endurance charges, protection against slows and stuns, and accuracy.
So basically, a Juggernaut is a tanky type of Ascendancy Class. Juggernauts can take a lot of damage from multiple enemies and can actually wipe them all and still survive. It can outlive any other damage class in Path of Exile because of its high armour and endurance, not to mention the passive and active defensive skills. Let us take a look at some of those important passive skills

The increase move speed is great for kiting to delay damage from enemies but what is the most notable among them is the Unbreakable. Cannot be stunned is really great as you continue on to dish out damage without getting interrupted. This comes in handy as well if you want to outrun opponents and since you have increased move speed and cannot be stunned, running away will be a breeze. Looking at his passives, juggernaut really does look good in terms of toughness and mobility.
