Fleurdelis Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 Noticed merc healers can't shoot and heal their buddies any longer but I don't see anything in the notes stating why or what they added when they removed that. Can someone please fill me in, thx. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JattaGin Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 (edited) You can't heal your buddies anymore? Have you done this: "All Commandos [or mercs] may want to visit their class trainer to make sure they have the highest ranks of all the affected abilities mentioned above." Maybe this helps?

Fleurdelis Posted July 29, 2015 Author Share Posted July 29, 2015 There is a new kolto shot heal which takes the place of the old pew pew. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bugisttod Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 By 'shoot and heal their buddies', do you mean using the basic 'Rapid Shots' attack to heal a friendly target? If so, that was taken out a long time ago, and healing Mercenaries instead get 'Kolto Shot' to replace it, which is basically the same thing (generates no heat, does a small heal, no cooldown other than the global). From what I recall, they made the change so only the Healing spec got it, rather than every Mercenary. And of course Commandos got the same change on their side.

JattaGin Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 There is a new kolto shot heal which takes the place of the old pew pew. Oh, you mean that one. That "new" kolto shot is rather old actually. Did you take a break from your merc for a while? I'm sure this shot has been in the game for at least a year now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyrusramsey Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 From what I recall, they made the change so only the Healing spec got it, rather than every Mercenary. I have no idea whether this was the reasoning, but if anything it is the other way around. Every merc does have access to kolto shot right now, while they had to switch to combat support cylinder in order to use rapid shots as a heal before this change.
