jjjojo Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 I was wondering if the rapid shots healing for the merc animation was changed? Instead of it rapid firing heals it only fire one shot from each blaster. Is it am ability that increases the shots or was it changed in 2.0?

chuixupu Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 Yes, it was changed so that it isn't annoying as F*ck anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PyroSc Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 It was changed and for the better I believe. It is harder for an enemy to spot the animation and realize you're a healer right off the bat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aryh Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 I never pvp so I can't comment on that part, but I really miss the old animation in pve. I didn't find it annoying. Of course I'll get used to the new one with time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjjojo Posted April 19, 2013 Author Share Posted April 19, 2013 I really think the old animation was better bc it's suppose to be rapid shots not single shots Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caveslug Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 I would guess they changed it because of "sound fatigue", the same excuse they gave when they removed the OP/scoundrel giggle. Its not because of PvP, not when the Commando giant green beam of please come kill me is still in game. Which funny enough they added back the giggle.... I understand some people like the change, but I never saw one post or anyone complain about the old sound / animation. I for one want the old animation back.

jjjojo Posted April 20, 2013 Author Share Posted April 20, 2013 I am really hoping they will bring the Original animation back to the healer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuixupu Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 Please don't, I can finally not get a headache in operations. I my own merc I didn't even want to cast it. Try being in one with two merc healers where you're getting rapid shots coming through each headphone in stereo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kampori Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 Without exaggerating, this was one of my favourite changes in 2.0 . It's something I've been hoping for for so long now. However let me be more specific, I'm not sure about the animation itself.. to be honest I've not once ever even noticed the animation. But the sound is infinitely better. I can't even begin to describe my pure hatred and loathe of the old sound FX of rapid shots. I almost classed it as 'griefing' when healers would spam it (One of my 4 mains is a merc healer, and even I feel bad when I have to expose my group, or the tank I'm healing, to this god-awful noise. It was horrendous. It made me turn my volume to mute while healing, or being healed by a merc. So, THANK YOU BioWare for this unbelievably awesome change.

PerinnAybara Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 While High Velocity Gas Cylinder is active, you vent [4 / 8] heat every 6 seconds. 2 point talent, 4th Tier. Healing Scan has a [33.34 / 66.68 / 100.02]% chance to reduce the heat cost of your next Rapid Scan by 8. 3 point Talent, 4th Tier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Never_Hesitate Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 It was changed and for the better I believe. It is harder for an enemy to spot the animation and realize you're a healer right off the bat. That was/is more the problem of the commando's. The sound of the merc's rapid shots was just annoying for the healed player Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried to apply your theory here: 28/18/0 and from a healers perspective it's just horrible Please stop posting that crap all over the merc threads Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
