highest crit.... let the jugg/guardian in your team take target( light armor one sage/sorc with high HP... 44k or something - definitely a PvEr.).. .Jugg/guardian use sunder(saber throw for example when in venge specc) then pop your autocrit (laze target ) on ambush -> Target aquired ( for more armor penetration) -> Aimed shot(or ambush) you definitely hit for more than 16k... you can hit it with engineering specc too . It is almost the same -> sunder from jugg -> laze target -> Target aquired - > Explosive probe -> series of shots

Yes...the inquisitor class is perfectly balanced..but the other classes sux so much...that is the thing! We were so blind...other class should never be allowed to enter rwz cuz they are not perfectly balanced...you know they have only 1 cc or cc break. /irony off

this remember me Lineage2 blade dancer buff pet I know it's off topic...sorry

Marauder without healer is much worse then the merc without healer... Marauder with healer is much better then merc with healer... Anyway both classes and all dps specces are weak now and have to be remake... These days pvp is rulled by hatred assassins and AP powertechs...

Dude ur healer did more killing blows than you .... but nice dmg anyway

Dude ...all your post made me laugh...seriously need juggs/ guardians so much CDs? They have an intercede...you know what it is ... If you're in centre of combat u can return back on friendly... U try to tell that HO kolto overload are the focus breaking and insta surviving skills...u forgot that you are always under 35% hp and you're getting heavy dmg from executes. You probably forgot that vengeance jugg who is the most played dps spec in pvp now ( I mean melee cuz sorc is the most played one) will have ravage windows in 12 SECONDS cuz he'll need just to use either. Yeah u put hydraulic one and then ? He is still on you...u can't do nothing if they are 2 u are dead in next 12 seconds. Yeah ur guardian is now most overpowered class and it will stay so In 3.0. With assassins too. Mercs ARE NOT VIABLE NOW AND WON'T BE VIABLE IN 3.0

. Dude ..seriously please stop commenting on this thread. Your main is not commando or merc...you're playing Knight...so u absolutely don't know anything about situations with this class in arenas. I have all 8 subclasses too and who cares ???? This topic is about mercs and commandos whose agai won't be viable for rankeds... Cuz of lack of focus breaker...

For me personely.... I think we need something like "Fallback" u will use jetpack to jump something like 12 meters backwards... something like sniper has with cover roll... this ability should have 18 secs CD like sniper's and it will be fine it won't be OP and it give a merc a chance... a chance to regroup... hide... use something... do something... not only die around. Anyhigher DPS output / insta casts / heals won't help keep this class alive in rateds.. DEVS gave to us electro net... insta casts... everything is fine but it only help to kill faster but not to survive... I play merc from beginin till now and it is my favorite class, but I refused play rateds in 2 last seasons cuz I don't like to read the flame comments in chats for me and my class and L2P comments or ETC. I'm playin only regular WZs. There are 2 ways to make merc viable in rateds... give escape ability to him... return the 8v8 warzones in rateds(I think in objective based PvP is merc still viable).

I agree with u... /signed

Electronet is very usefull tool , but!! it can be dispelled... and 90 sec CD again... ( Evasion Operatives healers , Force speed Sorc healers , Force shroud assassins tank - it is very bad using net on assassin tank but anyway ... sometimes it happens ) . So my advice to devs is... make that stupid net work as intended a make it undispelable or give a shorter CD on that and ??? Here we are merc will be usefull in RWZ . and 2nd thing - make missile blast cost 16 heat cuz u know ... nobody is using it . 3rd thing if Merc healer don't get heal over time or lover CD on his instant heal he will never get a spot in RWZ . Thank u for reading this.

Agreed this CD should be reworked... it has to be on lower CD . If 45 seconds is too short for devs... so make it on 60 secs CD and give mercs some talents (like powertech has on grapple ) , which lowers it's CD.

same with me... as arsenal I'm never using powershot... Look guys , I don't undrestand why so many people think that arsenal spec is only about TM??? In PvE maybe but in PvP thats not true!!! U have to use only 2 channeled abilities... TM and Unload... Classic PvP starter.... Explosive Dart+Unload , now depends... am I targeted ? No? So.. target.. TM , TM ,TM - HSM... ( maybe 2 TM and HSM and then UNLOAD if procs... for Better Heat management ) . You allways have to know that not Tracer... but UNLOAD is your hardest hitter... so for me I'm glad if dude interupts me TM and he get full unload + HSM from me. For using power surge it depends too... I'm using it mainly for starter .. Power Surge+ TSO + Fusion Missile.. or just saving it for an insta heal with rapid scan.. for same reason I'm not using railshot at all cost (I am using it but my priority is unload or HSM).. and saving tracer locks for instant heal with healing scan. It allways depends on situation.

Missile blast is great... I totally agree 20 heat will be more than fine. I'm using MB to prevent caping... it is great AoE for 30m range... So for me it is not useless!!!

If you want to play arsenal heatseeker is musthave tool... it is your hardest hitting skill

This!!! I think that's the balance we need. I don't undrestand why get bounty hunter this rocket... There are no synergies with that ... ( I know in arsenal tree -> more dmg from rocket... but I don't see any diference ) . Reduced heat cost from 25 -> 16 (or 20 it doesn't matter but 25 is too much ) and give it chance to gain heat signature in arsenal tree or chance on refresh railshot in Pyro tree. Look it has weak dmg in comparison with tracer. I think could help to this class a lot , from it's turret and "Here I am come kill me" reputation ... I hope some devs will read this topic.
