New Ideas to improve merc in pvp

[Ifrit]

Here are some of the ideas I have thought of or read that I thought were a good idea to help fix Merc in pvp. It is important to note I AM NOT ASKING WE GET ALL OF THESE. It is just a list of possible ideas, and that I think adding 2-3 of them could go a long way.

 

1. Heat sigs from tracer missile decreases the amount of healing received by 5% each per stack (up to 25%). This would add a unique utility ability to BH, which is desperately needed. It would also help compensate for no interrupt or snare.

2. Heat sigs adds a 5% snare per sig, up to 25%.

3. If the target is below 35% health, Unload does an additional 50% dmg. HSM hitting harder @2 <35% would also work, but only an increase of ~25% would be appropriate.

4. The skill trees need to be adjusted. As it is now, a pyro "has" to put 10 points into arsenal just to make pyro viable ( Muzzle fluting for decreased powershot activation and stabilizers for decreased pushback.)

5. Increase Combustable Gas to ~40% chance to snare.

6. Powershot has a 75% chance to snare.

7. Increase the duration of the snare from Jet Boost to 8 seconds.
