AlCorazon Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 Hey guys, So I am leveling a merc from the ground up (didn't buy a token). I am currently at 58, but I onyl have 1 defense that is the bubble called energy shield, and colto overload, will there be any other clickable defense coming at higher levels? Thank you!

stoopicus Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 (edited) Hey guys, So I am leveling a merc from the ground up (didn't buy a token).

I think at 58 you have most. 1. Hit k 2. look at skills (the discipline-specific skills are all there, all the way up) 3. look at utilities (Kolto Surge, Trauma Regulators) In addition to those I think you still get Responsive Safeguards? the reflect/selfheal? That comes later (my Commando doesn't have it at 65). Edit: Yeah, RS is at 66. Edited February 2, 2017 by stoopicus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jherad Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 As Stoopicus said, the big one you'll get is Responsive Saveguards - ie. the reflect. However, assuming you're playing DPS, don't discount Chaff Flare (which becomes useful in PvP at 52). For IO, chaff flare gives you 35% defense for 6 seconds - but for Arsenal, it actually gives you 5 charges of full absorb against force or tech damage. It'll only last a second or so if you're getting ganked by more than one person, but is enough to eat a big hit under the right circumstances. Save it for just before a PT's thermal detonator explodes, or a Sorc's thundering blast, or a mara''s scream/raging burst, or a Merc's heatseeker, etc etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlCorazon Posted February 3, 2017 Author Share Posted February 3, 2017 Thanks for the responses guys, so one more reflect type of clickable defense and as I can see Merc gets most of his defenses from utilities? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want to play pvp better you reroll on pt-dd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
