Nightkin Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 Hello everyone, i made a new movie of my arsenal merc Watcher-Six. Tomb Of Freedon Nadd and its pug vs pug so no roflstomping, no healbot and no guardbotting. Just random mayhem and good fun! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Z-fLQROyJo&feature=youtu.be Enjoy and flame on all you want! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loladarulz Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 Heatseeker missile really needs a buff - just doesn't hit hard enough. And merc need some sorc-like speed skill, its sad to see how hopeless he is vs melee classes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightkin Posted November 23, 2012 Author Share Posted November 23, 2012 True on most cases, though Heatseeker missile has crit for 6k+ for me but thats mainly on sages with poor gear tbh. A jetpack runspeed thingy that breaks roots or a hunter disengage skill would be fantastic though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoseWan Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 Very fun to watch. What gear do you use? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightkin Posted November 23, 2012 Author Share Posted November 23, 2012 Augmented WH, eliminator for the 2 set bonus and the pve set with WH/BM mods for the +15% tracer crit chance bonus. Mask of Nihilus and some jug armor, i look kinda wierd tbh x) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoseWan Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 Thx I only can hope I'll kicka** like that when I get my WH gear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightkin Posted November 23, 2012 Author Share Posted November 23, 2012 Well thank you for the kind words ^^ WH gear sure helps, though the class is still plauged by limitations. I pray for some added mobility in future patches! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Serpieri Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 Is heatseeker missile broken? Don't think I saw a single one crit for over 3k. Heck my marauder in recruit gear hit harder then that and that was some time ago and now I'm pulling 5-7k crits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightkin Posted November 23, 2012 Author Share Posted November 23, 2012 Well yeah i was unlucky on HS crits, but your post kinda indicates what everyone already knows...maras are insane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maestruljedi Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 Getting a win at lvl 50, imp-side on ToFN is an achievement in itself. Good work. Now admit it, you dress up like that so reps think you're a jugg tank and they won't attack you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jherad Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 Is heatseeker missile broken? Don't think I saw a single one crit for over 3k. Heck my marauder in recruit gear hit harder then that and that was some time ago and now I'm pulling 5-7k crits. Thought I'd comment on this - as well as needing a good bit of luck and a fairly squishy target, high HS crits also require 5 stacks of heat signature (3 casts of tracer missile on the target). Much harder to get in huttball due to the mobile nature of the game. Good video, thanks for posting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdmiralParmesan Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 (edited) Its nice to see some lesser classes used in pvp. Sadly it made me realize even further how squishy and low the burst is for sorcs/sages yet it seems mercs have one of the same problems as sorcs. As soon as people notice you they all attack you assuming you are a free kill. Good video, hope you make another. Watching marauder pvp videos is pretty boring anyway.

Phasersablaze Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 Good video Nightkin. Good use of cure, good LOSing. My critiques: 1) Stop spamming tracer when Barrage procs. You let it completely fade away at least three times in favor of tracer spamming. Unload does 3x more damage with barrage. 2) Keep an objective mindset. I got the sense you were trying to control Mid which is good, but you got carried away a few times by kills when you should really be focused on where the ball is 24/7. Overall I'd say 8 out of 10.

I was thinking to myself- wow, I get bigger hits and do more damage on my level 25 sniper in pvp, and that's with the dot build. Then I remembered- this is a merc.

Jenzali Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 I was thinking to myself- wow, I get bigger hits and do more damage on my level 25 sniper in pvp, and that's with the dot build. Then I remembered- this is a merc. Yeah, an issue with Merc is that even under ideal conditions - when you are left to free-cast with no fear of being interrupted - the DPS output still falls short compared to some other class/specs that can still perform well even while being under pressure. For example a Rage Jugg never has to worry about spell pushback, possibility of interrupt, or being forced to cancel their current cast due to needing to move (other than Ravage but that costs no resources). Yes, they must be in melee range to do this damage and can be "kited" but they also have 2 gap closers, a 70% snare uncleansable by all classes except Sorc, and their 31-point Force Crush "super snare". In non-ideal conditions, as in you have even one opponent after you, a Merc's dps plummets terribly. Every ounce your energy must be spent to even keep yourself alive.

tronot Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 I'm no expert, but I notice you have some alacrity. Should probably lose that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
