The reports are rather inconsistent. I myself am noticing about a 30-40% damage decrease after pvping all day as a pyro merc. Others are reporting a rather good dps increase. Something is not right.

Something is definitely wrong with pyro merc damage. I have full BM gear and put all my original mods back into my gear for the expertise buff. i have close to 1200 expertise now and none of my abilities hit nearly as hard. Before, a thermal detonator could hit a guy for 3500-4000, now im lucky to get 2000-2500. Pretty much the same proportions for Rail Shot and Rapid Shots. For a guy who normally did 400-500k damage per match on average going to about 150-250K in a full match. I can tell you something is definitely off. What's even more troubling is some mercs claim their damage went up. This seems logical since the new expertise gap should theoretically see a damage increase. The fact that mine went so significantly down without really changing any play style is very disturbing. I hope this is some sort of bug that will be fixed soon. I have no idea what is going on.

Yeah but how's your power?

With the surge/power? Don't you want to keep some of the mods and enhancements?

Thanks for the replies guys. I'm still curious as to what specific mods and enhancements you guys are replacing though. Are most of you replacing ALL the mods and enhancements with other ones or just specific ones?

I think most people agree that the Eliminator gear emphasizes accuracy a little too much. What have people found to be the best mods and enhancements to switch out? What other pvp mods and enhancements are you putting in their place? I'm just trying to figure out what the best way to maximize the damage of the set is in a pvp setting. I haven't really seen this talked about too much. I'm a mercenary pyrotech if that makes any difference at all.
