at a later point you will have endurance and reliability on her that includes break. i am not sure if you noticed but its a basic mage setup that you should aim for, meaning if you dont need maria but another DD then you just switch her out for a DD like aphrodite, smoulder, etc and the runes with it. and your comment about her not needing block is simply wrong. please do a search for block and break and you will find a series of posts that require mages to have block and break runes (break is inevitable because included into reliability). there you will also find screenshoots proving that there is a damage reduction included into block runes that mages take a clear advantage from.
for the future please refrain from making assumptions and presenting those assumptions to newer players as facts because they will believe you.
