there is no reason to bring a merc, they are basically worse in everything and better in nothing.

that rapid shots sure as hell are a killer. nerf powertechs rapid shots i say

people never stop to amaze me. they post **** like the above sentence, and still expect to be taken serious.

ye because leap is the only trick those classes have up their sleeves .... big fat /facepalm .... no wonder class balancing in this game is as **** as its now, reading some of the posts here just shows that quite a lot players are dumb as **** aswell. people get the development team they deserve ...

you been in gw 2 beta weekend? i was. i havent exactly got a high end super machine. and the world pvp there worked perfectly fine for me. even with huge amount of players participating.

because marauders and juggs got the monopoly on real aoe dmg in this game.

the point with all the mobility talk is: a lot of people cant play this spec very well. the average pyro merc on my server does nothing else than IM - TD - and then just rapid shots 24/7. sure, they can run around like that (mostly they are snared though so dont ask me why they still try to what they call "kite"), but their dmg while doing just that is totally abysmal. they are basically a running joke on 2 legs. to play the spec effectivly you HAVE to stand still and cast; not as often as arsenal, but you still have to do it. but again, the amount of **** pyro mercs running around spamming rapid shots is legion.

thats not true though in a game where just 1 advanced class out of 8 doesnt get an interrupt, while the other 7 do.

I get the slight feeling you sir dont know what backpedalling means ...

while im normally against such whiney posts, the quoted part holds some truth. yesterday i had such a game, alderaan vs 4 or 5 of the enemy team beeing shadow tanks. it was the most frustrating experience i had in quite some time in this game.

but dont forget, alot of the ****yness of sorcs now has to do with the fact that huttball (talking out of imp perspective now) isnt the wz you play 80% of the time anymore. sorc were just deemed op because of the utility they bring to that specific wz. in voidstar and civil war they never had that much of an impact. nowadays i just /point /lol at them tbh, in everything else than huttball they really suck.

my merc is quite busy actually. crit crafting new war hero gear like mad.

PT better hands down. that comes from some1 that has both acs at 50.

i wonder if people that whine about anything an arsenal merc can do ever will realise how *********** much they embarass themselves? Never ever would i admit openly i find arsenal mercs too strong. can there be 1 bigger indication of how much some1 sucks in pvp than whining about that spec?

set boni from bm gear arent transferred over. which totally sucks, but hey, its bioware we are talking about here ... mats are ok, not expensive at all; the items dont cost any mandalorian iron, just blue underworld metals and the normal scavenged metals and compounds. if the craft crits u get an augment slot; so once u can extract the stuff out of true war hero gear u buy (+ the set boni) then using those crafted items will be better.

seems they screwed up the sound department big time in this patch; all sound effects in whole game are totally borked. guess fixing that is one of the major reasons for the follow up patch today.

the ability itself is more than fine. same as all the charge/friendly charge things juggs got. huttball on the other hand isnt fine. most of the class balance suggestions/whines etc point towards the wrong end; its not the ability per se thats op, its simply that ****** warzone that makes stuff op.

bolded part shows whats wrong with you guys. best way to move the ball is PASS it. noone said anything about the carrier having to crawl to the enemy goal line on his own. this change, while ofc the optimal way to change this retarded wz, never will go live. every single jugg, marauder, tanksin, tankpowertech, every single sorc, would start the usual massive qq. i can imagine why bioware doesnt want to stir that up.

got 2 50 ones aswell. started off as merc, full bm gear. after that started to pvp more seriously on my PT; hes just missing 3 BM pieces now. i find my merc still fun to play (aresenal spec), but god, PT is way better in pvp in all manners. enjoy him quite a bit more atm.

this. an ape can do well if hes getting babysit by other players 24/7.

if you dont use power shot you play your role wrong. your role is doing dps, not beeing an annoyance. not using powershot = playing the spec wrong = doing **** dps.

this. as long as u got faction and objective based world pvp, it will always be unbalanced numberwise, and mostly a zerg fest. plus, certain classes just arent built for that kind of zerg gameplay, namely all melee classes.

republic got the same spec, you know?

wow, the flamethrower change sounds amazing. exactly what this talent needed.
