paladinjb Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 So you rolled an advanced class that is one of the lowest population, but there are so many mercs that there is an abundance of bounty hunters in groups. Does that bother you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrJawaPhD Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 No, why would I care? Ok ok it does bother me when people claim that "bounty hunters only spam 1 ability in pvp" when that is only mercs, but other than that I don't care Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VidarUlv Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 Nope. I enjoy being able to pick my nose without the risk of blowing it off. I also enjoy beating Mercs and Commandos in Warzones. Being one of the least played class is fun as well. There are only two high level Powertechs in my guild, we're both playing as tanks for the Ops.

Jabbb Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 Nah I love it, everyone complains about mercs (which are much worse than PTs in my mind) and there's nothing I enjoy more than bending an arsenal merc over and having my way with them.

Moostick Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 I've actually had some angry person from a pvp match PM me with something like "F-ing BH, only know how to use TRACER TRACER TRACER.LEARN2PLAY" after I killed him easily. In which I replied "...I'm not a merc?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hulkweazel Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 Why would it bother me? You do realize being in an underplayed class makes you that much in demand for groups and guilds, right? The reason mercs are more common has nothing to do with which class is stronger, it has to do with people liking the idea of dual-wielding pistols while being able to heal, which sounds so much cooler than holding a shield and absorbing damage.

Dharagada Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 (edited) The more mercs the better, they make good healers and the damage dealing variety offer a great distraction. "Hey look that bounty hunter only has one gun must be a shield tech ignore him, kill the one over their with 2 guns instead".

AetherMcLoud Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 "Hey look that bounty hunter only has one gun must be a shield tech ignore him, kill the one over their with 2 guns instead". Shortly followed by "OMG why is he hitting me in the face with his pistol? Not the face! Please make it stop!" - shortly after that they usually respawn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darktonsta Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 It used to not when I was one of the few merc's throwing tracer missle around in pvp on Dec. 25th, but lately I have noticed a whole lot of mercs leveling up to spam tracer missle because they kept getting owned by it on their main. I switched a few weeks ago to the healing spec and I am loving it. I the only downside to being a merc on my end is there are a lot of new 50's giving healing merc a bad name... I am starting to see in chat LF1M not a bh. Good thing is I am pretty much already geared out and in a okay guild. They dont raid as much as I would like so when I am looking at getting in a ops they dismiss me off-hand... Powertechs are amazing tanks pve tho, some of the easiest hm ops were lead by 1 or 2 powertech tanks... Now I know how Sith Inquisitors on my server feel now... Have seen no inqus for about a month and a half now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auricelia Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 Shortly followed by "OMG why is he hitting me in the face with his pistol? Not the face! Please make it stop!" - shortly after that they usually respawn "What's with that high pitched electrical whine?" VWWWNGH! "What was that!? Was that a slugthrower? Did he just fire a slugthrower at me? Who in the world uses solid ammo weapons anymore? That's pathetic. Wait... Why is there a breeze going through the middle of my head?" *thud* Wrist mounted railgun FTW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rykke Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 Unless they're healing, we're a better class in every way. (Opinion) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orsian Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 I just swapped out to Pyro spec and I find it hilarious when some wannabe ****** Jedi jumps over to try and solo me thinking that I'm a merc. It quickly dawns on him that I'm not a merc when he doesn't do the damage he wanted and finds out all my abilities are instants. They end up at respawn wondering how I could do that much damage without casting. (I've had folks ask me whether I was a merc or not) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthBloodloss Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 Unless they're healing, we're a better class in every way. (Opinion) Every way in Huttball, sure. Voidstar and Civil War are pretty even. I don't know any end game PT DPS so I can't comment about raids. But if PT are better than Mercs for raid bosses, that would be impressive.
