ZeusThunder Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 Assuming skill, level, and gear are equal can an Arsenal Merc beat a Sorcerer 1v1? There is this one Sorcerer I keep on playing against that just wrecks me in Huttball. My merc is an alt, so maybe I'm doing something wrong. The Sorcerer tends to interrupt my casts then uses LOS until his interrupt is off CD again. If I try to run up to him to knock him off platforms I'm at 30% HP by the time I can get in range. If I try to just nuke him I can't get him past 50% by the time the only abilities I have left to use are Tracer Missile or Power Shot, which just get interrupted. If I get the jump on him, and am winning he'll simply stun me then force run out of range then heal up. I'm certainly not advocating that all classes should be balanced in 1v1. I'm pretty sure that my role as an Arsenal Merc in Huttball is to control the center and defend, not get caught up chasing Sorcerers. I just wanted to check with the community however to make sure it isn't just me. TL;DR version: Arsenal merc does great until I get attacked by a Sorcerer, anyone else have this problem?

You ran into player that knows how to deal with Mercs. It happens, get used to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pwny_Express Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 (edited) Which skill do you use to fake cast? Power Shot fake cast? Heal fake? Wait until he blows his interrupt then you hit two tracers and a heatseeker or what? Edited February 8, 2012 by Pwny_Express Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
