PepinoCantador Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 My friend is playing a DPS Mercenary, and at the moment I'm an AC-less Agent. We'll be questing and PVPing together. Which AC would go better with the Merc, particularly in PVP? Either Sniper, or Op healer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gronkaarr Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 I say go sniper. with the companions that you guys get early on (merc gets mako, you get kaliyo) you will get some heals and a meat shield and its up to you both to kill as fast as possible. should be fun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tobradex Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 (edited) My friend is playing a DPS Mercenary, and at the moment I'm an AC-less Agent. We'll be questing and PVPing together. Which AC would go better with the Merc, particularly in PVP? Either Sniper, or Op healer? I love my healing operative. However, if you might want to DPS at all in endgame DO NOT go operative. Post-49 DPS Ops suck. Snipers are great DPS ATM. Edited August 1, 2012 by Tobradex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PepinoCantador Posted August 2, 2012 Author Share Posted August 2, 2012 I probably should have been a touch more specific with my question. Basically what I meant was: Do you all think it would be better to follow the DPS Merc around in WZs healing him as an OP, or as a Sniper helping him blow stuff up faster?

Mutive Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 I don't really know as a merc. The good old "tank/healer" combo in warzones is amazing. (Seriously, my operative healer with an assassin tank is close to invincible.) But if they're a healer too...well, might as well go DPS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gronkaarr Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 your friend should re-roll as a powertech and you should go operative healer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
z-monty Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 Here's my honest, no QQing, opinion of what you should do. You can really go both ways in this and not loose. You can roll a DPS Op or Sniper and you two would be fine in PvE and PvP, staying alive by blowing mobs away and both combining in WZs to do some great damage. If you roll heals, it will keep you guys alive much easier in both PvE and PvP since, as someone mentioned, the combo of heal/DPS is a very nice combo to have. He can easily deal the damage while you keep him up in health. The only think you should think about hard is the different play styles that Snipers and Ops have. Snipers would be next to the Merc in doing tons of damage at a distance and, for the most part, staying in one place. Ops, on the other hand, would be up close and personal (DPS wise anyways) while the Merc burned people from a distance. Honestly, I think you could go either way with what AC you wanted and you both would be fine. The one advantage Op has is that you could respec if you changed your mind, while a Sniper would be stuck doing damage, albeit a lot more damage than an Op. So find what style of play you and your friend would enjoy the most and stick with that. Hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
