Level 18 slinger this morning and almost 20 now. Today I broke 200k damage several times and am always in the top 3 for damage and kills (unless I play defender at flags wand wait for my prey). My gear is horrible will ding 20 tomorrow and will replace my gear which is all around level 12-13.
My question is this, where is your team? Groin kick, then run past your melees so that they (imps) have to chase you into your defensive line.
Also follow your team (I am guilty of not always doing this, but am ready to be killed for straying on my own).
We are a DPS power house and it is a privilege to know they need to take us out first.
Also, find what playstyle works best for you. I like the cover mechanic but if I see 2 or more imps coming at me I run away while attacking. To be honest i only use cover when 1vs1 or if i have a quiet spot to blast from range while my melees keep the imps occupied.
I expect to die a lot but I am going to take at least one imp with me when i go.
