Wrestle Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 (edited) I just saw this on youtube. Man I wish Mercs were even remotely close to this in DPS. Whats also crazy is all of the DPS is while being fully mobile, while the merc is an interuptable turret with hideous DPS.

Ossos Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 I don't see the problem here. As for Mercs, play a sniper. It's the same class, only better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a sniper, but it's not my thing honestly. I'm not crazy about the sniper play style even though it owns face. I truly dont think people realize how bad commandos/mercs are atm. They are easily the worst AC in the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KBSIP Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 yes mercenaries need a mechanic change to be viable in PVP. Powertechs should be a model for how all classes should work in PVP, as they're fun to play in their current popular spec for major PVP (pyro) with an alternate playstyle available for those seeking a more challenging skill set (advanced prototype).

Mercs/Commandos are totally garbage. I knew they were bad, but I was shocked when started watching other pvp videos today and realized how truly terrible they are.

cycao Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 Guys just boss at his class nothing wrong with that. I think out of the 4 PT's on my server 2 play the class right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not saying he isn't a good player, but PT is honestly one of the easier classes to play. This DPS is sick. I'm sorry but Sorcerer/Mer/Commando DPS isn't anywhere near as good as this or the other ACs atm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So basically you have a car that is missing two wheels and a transmission. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sookster Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 6K railshots, nice, on my shieldtech PT I can hit about 5.5K, probably more if I was pyro spec but my merc is pyro (railshot hits about 4500 on merc) so I don't feel like having 2 pyro toons.

MrSIlverSurfing Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 Merc pyros are just as mobile. Stop playing arsenal, its a crap tree. yes they are just as mobile, but without the defensive/tanking aspect. Also you lose all of the benefits of the railshot armor reduction, which is huge. Pyro isn't really great for a Merc either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paranoidpuz Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 (edited) may aswell post the link to his thread stating the cooldowns were 90% of vid etcand the somewhat crap gear'd people he was against Sucks but gota do damage control - Just wait till Jediduckling gets in here.... http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=447838 Another thing it doesnt Show - is the amount of miss's you get with 90 accuracy!

IMO pyro is fantastic for merc, fusion missile really adds to it, once the target reaches 30% health, sensors override+FM and watch him burn to death and not being able to heal in time.

Numerii Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 Guys just boss at his class nothing wrong with that. Nope, saw him eat a full Ravage at 4:40. Everyone knows that only noobs get hit by that third strike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not hating on the PTs, good for them, but good lord. Sucks to be a sorcerer/commando/merc in pvp. Looks like the rest of the classes are doing very well.

I saw that post, and he only answered part of the question. He DID address the damage on the target dummies, but he DID NOT address the damage modifiers in the Arsenal Tree. He completely ignored the FACT that Tracer Lock/Charged Barrel isn't stacking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like the rest of the classes are doing very well. 475 Power Adrenal + 405 Relic + 25% crit for 15 seconds on top of the FULLY POW/surge gear'd PT ontop of 90% armor pen of Railshot Only = high DPS. the TD hit low normally cuz theres no armor pen- Unless your crap geared and a Sorc Edited May 8, 2012 by Paranoidpuz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like the rest of the classes are doing very well. Adrenal/relic/crit skill. Like the poster of the vid stated on youtube, those were nearly always up. Its a burst compilation after all. And Jedi won't come in here as the video shows that even against badly equipped ppl with all cds popped, rs/hip does not do the 10k hits he always eats with full xp gear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
