NateCrazy Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 This is seriously getting beyond a joke. Fix it. New patch updates show improvements to some of the most overpowered classes. Do you people even play this game???? To anybody thinking of playing a mercenary or commando in actual competitive pvp. Dont bother untill this issue is addressed.

Osxoba Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 How would you go about improving them? What are your suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lordnathanial Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 I love my mando and yes I get melted when focused but when on a good team I rock. Not sure what more can be done. Perhaps small improvements to energy shield be careful though too much DcDs and we get nerfed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fujeotwo Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 Mercs are fine. Remove stuns and remove cooldowns on CC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lordnathanial Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 I will have to say though the big problem with PvP for us is all the stuns and roots it is annoying. One stun should fill resolve or remove all the stuns and roots. Not sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timewired Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 There's way too much cc and I feel it's ridiculous that certain classes have so much immunity to it while others have none. I get most frustrated on Mara and merc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Korithras Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 Yeah I have a stun, a knockback, and a snare on my commando. But the moment I use one the other(s) become useless. Meanwhile, I can get stunned, use my pvp break, and get stunned again immediately after. We're too squishy and too vulnerable. I'm not saying make us tanks but damnit we need to be able to take more damage than we do. I've had assassins/shadows or operatives/scoundrels hit me ONCE and take half my HP. It's ridiculous. On top of that you put CD timers on our heals if we're not healer spec. So there's that as well. FFS give us some more survivability already.

Floplag Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 the real funny part to this is that personally i dont think we need much. i dont want an iwin button... i just want the same chance other classes have. i think im about as sneaky as a merc can be in terms of using what i have to live and i get away with it at times.. others not so much... but i like having to actually try.

There's having to try and then there's struggling just to keep up. Right now commandos/mercs are definitely the latter. I love my commando, I really do. But in pvp right now it's something I have to psych myself up for because A) I know I can't compete and B) I know I'm going to be targeted because everybody else knows that I can't compete either. It's brutal and it shouldn't be this bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qwopicus Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 If mercenaries got +1 damage every time they whined, they could one shot operation bosses. (That said the lack of an anti-focus CD is a real issue. ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's brutal and it shouldn't be this bad. This is pretty much it. Not a single class in the game knows what we have to go through at the moment. The only class that even remotely knows what it is to be left in the cold without any good dcds is gunslinger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unforunately most of the gunslingers in the game think that leaving cover when being focused is a good idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why i said remotely. The dcd problem becomes even more glaring why you play assault specialist. I thought id give it a shot again, but omg is it beyond awful. I kept thinking, "Man, if i was in gunnery spec, that guy would have been dead twice by now". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, in playing both specs i think they are stronger against differing opponents. I had an easier time with some classes that were harder in Gunnery by using AS in some cases. Its perhaps just random observation but the dots had more effect on classes that can shut me down more as they cant shut that down as easily. I think both work.. i prefer gunnery, but enjoyed AS as well for different reasons. i play both now at random times Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well most people either dont play it or dont know it. Im not going to claim to be an expert on it, nor will i say i prefer it, but it has its uses. This community tends to prefer to show its rear more than its better side unfortunately. As for me, i didnt like it in pvp as much due to poor resource management comparatively speaking and the inability to target swap effectively as a result of that especially in regs.

Until bw pulls their head out of their rear and gives us a disengage I won't be on ranked. Plus I find arenas archaic and boring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FoxtrotBravo Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 Even if they gave us a passive perk to increase the dmg reduction since we wear heavy armor. Its sad that we take more dmg from anything than a cloth wearing sorc that has 10 times the survivability. It's especially glaring in the 30-59 bracket where we are melted by EVERY SINGLE AC. We need an escape like every single other dps AC has. Sorcs = god bubble, Jugg = double heal to full, Mara = force camo, Sniper = combat roll, sin and op = insta stealth, even PT's have their nike shoes constantly up with the right perks, not to mention better dmg reduction passives. Litterally every other AC has an escape and we have nothing. Why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They could AT LEAST give all heavy armor classes the same amount of damage reduction from their armor. HELL even scoundrels with the right perk have more damage reduction than us.
