im pretty sure i did answer this thread yesterday idk why this post is not here... anyway merc is still good dps class and thats what u should stick to imho. snipers got nerfed, operatives are not really good pve choice since their range is lower, single target dmg is decent but they have crap aoe. op are way better as healers, solo pve or pvp imho. merc on the other hand, simple rotation, quite mobile, nice damage and cool looks
