Maybe someone will ask them why the Mercenary is so easy to kill in pvp and what they plan to do about it. If it is done in person maybe they will not pretend like everything is fine.

Like almost very thing else Bounty Hunter related it is ignored by BW.

PVE is fine. PVP is a joke. I slaughter merc's in pvp with out exception on any of my other toons, and have stopped playing my merc in PVP altogether. My once proud merc now servers as a humble weapons maker. No survivability in melee and everyone knows it. So Merc's are free kills. Range is not a defense.

I am quoting this simply because it is cool and correct. Nice Job!

Lookie here more garbage spouted by an wantabe elitist. That's very impressive. Lets set up a series of duels. Say 25 duels, we will hang out at the imp fleet and I will spam your challenge to the fleet. You will fight the first 25, level 50 non-mercenaries we can find. I bet you can't win more than 1 (maaaaaaaybe 2) out of 25. Come on super dude, put your money where your mouth is.

Just wow! lol I am going to jump in and agree with Nightkin. I see a lot of posts like this from puffed up players that shout... "Mercenaries are just fine! YOU just don't know how to play!" You know what I don't see? I don't see Mercenaries constantly kicking *** and taking names, night after night, in PVP. Why? Because Mercenaries only kick *** and taking names when they are not being attacked in melee. And since 99.99% of PVPers know Mercenaries are easy kills, they are normally in melee. Correction: I am sure that if I was fortunate enough to see you in PVP, night after night, you would be killing everything in sight with your near invulnerable self. Because you know how to play the class. Awesome!

YES! Pushing 3 or 4 buttons to kill someone is very hard. lol

I had to stop here. I was laughing so hard the tears made it imposable to continue. hahahahaha This is a joke right? Funny stuff.

Mara is loved by BW. Most OPed class in the game. If it is not OPed, all the other classes are underpowered. Take your pick. Just play the Mara and rule in PVP with no skill.

I can tell you what Biowares vision is for this class an every other class that is not a Marauder is. You are food to feed the all powerful Marauder. You are to have no survivability in melee combat and you are to have no way to stop the all powerful Marauder from getting into melee combat with you. Just except your place in the food chain. You will be happier going in to PVP knowing you suck and excepting your lot in life (as food). False hope will only end in depression.

Wow! Your awesome! Why didn't we think of that. We have stealth, so its OK if class balance is grossly out of proportion. You are a Troll. *** Dear BioWare, Please fire any staff memeber that has anything to do with class balance and higher someone with a clue. Thanks

If I went to work and performed my job in the same clueless manner that BW works out class balance I would be bounced out the door so fast it would make your head spin. BW if you truly want to know why subscriptions have been dropping so fast, all you have to do is look at class balance. All you need to know is right there.

I hope you don't mind but I would like to change this. I'm slowly coming to the conclusion that the staff at Bioware have absolutly no clue... Do any of the Delvs even PVP? And if they do, do any of the play any thing aside from a marauder.

Well said Macroecon! The point is this change does not add to our survivability in pvp at all.

Well stated. I could not agree more.

I am unhappy. The lost of knockback is going to hurt when fighting melee toons. Or is that getting killed by melee toons.

^ this

Yuck! It needs to stay as it is now. I would stop playing my Merc if they changed it back. Just yuck.

LOL. I stopped reading after this. This is the most lopsided game I have ever played (in terms of pvp) and I stared with DAoC in 2001. Sorry man you lost all credibility after the above statement.

Even with the 1.3 nerfs?

Let me guess almost everyone crying about Powertechs play Marauders right. Until Marauders are nerfed in to the ground, I don't what to hear about Powertechs. IF you want to blame someone blame BW for making Tank Spec Powertech useless in PVP. Love you all

Awsome!!!

The developers responsible for the travesty that is the Commando / Merc should be Drawn-and-Quartered.

For me the difference is, that when I play my Sniper I feel like I can kill stuff. Then I play my Merc I feel I have to wait for my target to die of old age (especially in pvp).

1) I would love to play in a WZ where melee dps is not an I win button. 2) A reason spec as a tank in pvp. 3) Mercenary / Trooper to actually be about to compete as a dps spec. 4) Some semblance of class balance.
