aVmuse Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 (edited) I don't really play a arsenal merc, but losing a 6% damage increase of rail shot that stacks 5x for 30% (?). Surely must be better then it being changed to reduce the time of your next healing scan. I'm genuinely confused if this is survivability buff or just a stupid change for arsenal mercs to be off healers? *misread no change, but rather an add on to a previous stack bonus.

Diaboyos Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 I was under the impression the tracer lock stacks could be used for either the rail shot or the heals. Are they not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twickers Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 You choose one or the other depending on the situation, if you desperately need a heal to stay up, better to sacrifice a tiny amount of DPS then to fall over dead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vikoon Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 You think a heal for 2600 is going to make a difference the way we are getting smashed as Mercs? Not when Jugs abd Marauders are storming around smashing people for 5500 - 6000. And I am 1300 Expertise. They took away a ton of our survivability and gave us this crappy heal that is on a 12 Sec CD anyways. I am ticked at the changes and my Merc is my only level 50. MERCS GOT SCREWED LARGE THIS PATCH! NOT EVERYONE MADE A POWERTECH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have never encountered that situation. Trying to cast a heal as an arsenal merc while being beat on is probably the worste thing you can do. You're better off firing off nearly anything and hoping for a crit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not talking PVP, and actually healing myself while being beaten on has saved my life quite a few times. Then again I tend to do that after knocking enemies back so I can generally get one or two heals off, usually enough to get me back to a more comfy health level.
