Hey everyone.
Here I am again, trying to save my favorite spec from total annihilation by Bioware's infamous nerf hammer. Since 5.0 hit all we've seen on the forums are "Nerf Merc!" threads. And I'm not at all disagreeing with the intention of these posts. But I'd just want to make clear that where everyone is screaming "Nerf Mercs", what they actually mean to say is "Nerf Arsenal". We all know Arsenal is overpowered, with huge burst, electro net and amazingly strong dcds. But, and I hope that Bioware will see this, Merc heals are not OP. Yes we got sweet defenses to keep us from getting tunneled into the ground for a while, but in return they took a considerable amount of our hps. I can now barely keep a teammate up when he is getting tunneled by 2+ burst dps, whereas a Sorc would have a much easier time doing this. If Bioware were to take away some of our new defenses without giving back some of our hps, Merc heals will be in a worse place then before. I never thought that would be possible.
