FHAKrip Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 I started a small lawn and garden maintenance company outside of Coronet City. I find that DFA and Flamethrower are great for cleaning debris from decks and driveways without damageing them at all. It is a long way from Champion of the Great Hunt but it puts food on the table for my crew. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like most others in this game I have alt's that are alive, well and still fully competative.

Enkaizu Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 (edited) Oh please, all this nerf to the ground stuff is stupid. I finally got the chance to try the new raid last night and my merc was consistently pulling threat. Our tanks are not bad, but having more Unloads and HSM hitting even harder makes us threat monkeys.

MagnisLupus Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 My Merc and Powertech and the numerous other alts i have/had are now the captain and crew of the U.S.S Enterprise, It's five year mission... to explore...new worlds, to seek out new life and new civilizations... to boldly go where no man has gone before. In other words I'm playing STO right now and am enjoying it..... kinda refreshing to catch a break away from the WoW clones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a long way from Champion of the Great Hunt but it puts food on the table for my crew. He does solid DPS in Ops and FPs. He still handles dailies with ease. He is still a lot more fun to quest with than my sniper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Codek Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 Still healing, with only two complaints (one of which is not healing related). My guild still needs me and I still enjoy the play style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cegenaus Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 my merc is helping the 12 colonies battle the cylons and find "earth" for the time being im finishing bm so i can shelve him when my mara hits 50 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our tanks are not bad, but having more Unloads and HSM hitting even harder makes us threat monkeys. People use the "7k+ HM raid crits" as evidence we didn't get nerfed. There's a whole other, albeit broken, half to this game where people are really feeling the nerf. Go pvp and tell me we didn't get a nerf.

Diddley Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 (edited) Truth be told, I am fighting the good fight with my pyro merc but the realisation that we are at a major disadvantage to so many other classes (not least our PT bro's who completely destroy us most of the time as they have better tree synergy) is frustrating. I am therefore also considering shelving my merc for pvp and raiding. I already have full BM and do NOT want to grind my way to WH gear while the comm exchange rate is how it is. I look forward to BW hopefully making some conscious decision about how they want to make this class more of a contender i.e. an escape, interrupt etc, less channeling and casting etc. I talk principally about pyro with the less casting ofc.

DomingoDarkrage Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 I reap warzones and defeat raid encounters with my guild. Only now i fire rapid shots a few more times inbetween heals, giving me more time to aware of the surroundings. I'm also learning how to better play a healer because until 1.2, we had it so easy. Now it actually takes strategy to heal with this class. Not to get into the lore of mandalorians or anything, but a bounty hunter doesn't give up when the challenge is elevated. The bounty hunter lives for the elevated challenge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheNinjaboy Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 Mercenaries are not a viable option in end game (level 50) PvP. My merc sits while I play my Powertech that facerolls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gogh Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 I melt faces in warzones, why not try it? Seriously: Pyro Merc here. I walk out into a Warzone, and that old quote from the Bhagavad Gita comes to mind: "Now I am become Death, destroyer of worlds." My Merc was only mid-20s pre-1.2, but if anything, I am doing better now in my mid-30s than I was then with basically the same rotation for both PvE and PvP. The fact is, when you set people on *********** fire, they die. In droves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthKaras Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 Only change i see after the patch is that the Heatseaker now takes in to account the tracer debuf but i still dont see rail shot taking it to effect its dmg boost. I still do the same rail shots if i do it at 0 or at 5 stacks of the buff. Nerf to TM is only the heat generation, the rest seems fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go pvp and tell me we didn't get a nerf. more like 10% not half .... and oh fyi I stopped pvping for a few weeks before 1.2 because i was bored... went in after 1.2 and i am doing better than ever tbh... interrupts dont mean nearly as much when your dps is loaded out of TM and into 2 other skills and increased overall. if you are talking 1v1 then reroll, we are the worst 1v1 class.

Gogh Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 (edited) When you get to 50, it changes a little bit. I've heard this observation multiple times. I've played level 50 WZs. I didn't notice a change from 49 to 50 on my Sage. Since I've been playing v. level 49s from level 10ish forward, I can't imagine being on even footing negatively affecting my play. The only difference is that when I do ding 50, I'll be undergeared versus many of my peers. That will hurt for a little while, but that's a gearing issue, not a game play issue. Why is it "different"-- what changes? Edited April 19, 2012 by Gogh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
