Sleprock Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 The knockback is ineffective because force leaps/charges, and obliterates can be used while the opponent is still in mid-air. They don't even have to land. In less than a second they've back on you, and you've recharged their shockwave so they can crit-smash you again.

Darth_Exar Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 I think this is a learn to play issue. At level 17 I've done 1v1's against 40 melee classes coming out on top. From my experince as playing mostly melee I notice mercs don't use all their tools and just stand there while they get shreaded. Learn to kite and learn to play. One moment I need to check my pulse; might have died from laughing. You should be a comedian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CommanderKeeva Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 I just started playing a merc and this is what I have to say. Mercs to lack some form of instant escape like a sorc. However unlike sorcs mercs have a ton of insta cast high damage moves All mercs-explosive dart, railshot, rocket punch, missleblast (Not recomended for spam lol) Exclusive moves- Thermal grenade, incendiary missle, heatseeker missle, Not to mention instant damage channel moves, flamethrower, unload. A 360 degree knock back that throws out a slow and can be talented to 4 more meters. I think this is a learn to play issue. At level 17 I've done 1v1's against 40 melee classes coming out on top. From my experince as playing mostly melee I notice mercs don't use all their tools and just stand there while they get shreaded. Learn to kite and learn to play. Wow....just wow.....I'm speechless. Might I inquire as to how many rated warzones you have done at level 17? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cashogy Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 the 10-49 bracket is in no way representative of performance of a class at level 50, or of that class at the highest level of play. you are going against opponents who do not have all of their abilities, all of their talent points, etc. as a Merc, this means you are potentially (likely tbh) facing opponents with no interrupt, fewer utility abilities, etc etc. in the lowbie bracket, melee classes really do not come into their own until the high 30s to low 40s. they dont have all of their utility skills for staying alive, closing gaps, etc yet. which gives range the slight upperhand. Merc is very good in the lowbie bracket. But that is not a competitive environment. I hope that clears things up so that we can all stop feeding the troll/ignorant person Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other classes' damage really starts ramping up as they get war hero gear. Commando does too, but not to the extent of others. Smash in the lowbie bracket is ok. In the 50 bracket it's insane.

(especially, Cash, AALBC, and a few others i would consider the MOST knowledgable Mercs) you do not. i got pages of 400k 60+ kill matches pre 50...

Pefny Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 The sadest thing at all is that even so many constructive and cool ideas to fix merc/mando BW don't giva a damn. They probably don't even read this thread anymore. I higly doubt about any changes in upcoming 1.7. Nice thing that our cause has very big social support, even no merc/commados are here, so thx. I don't know is there any bigger hate/QQ topic on PvP - and hate/QQ in the best way it can be . For now i just need my 30 m stun back...

The BW post notwithstanding. i'm not sure they read it or not. but, what i am pretty sure of, is they don't give a damn about the community or their ideas. they have in-house testers and metrics to record and provide all the data they need. they don't need a bunch of consumers telling them how to code, balance, and run their game. <---sarcasm from the comsumer point of view. i'm fed up. overly fed up. i'm nobody special, other than a loyal and paying customer, that has been here since early beta. i've seen the death of dps Operative, the rise of thae tank'sin, the nerf of the Merc, and the continued strengthening of sniper and SW/JK. i've pre-ordered Makeb. but, that will be the last $$$ i give, if this Merc situation (and OWPvP/class balance) issues are not addressed and fixed. if they won't listen to me here, then maybe they will hear me when i stop paying.

TUXs Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 The sad thing to me is, I bet we won't see any changes until "Spring 2013" when they change our abilities to accommodate the +5 levels they're giving us...why would they waste their time?!

They rely far too heavily on their "metrics"...and the numbers don't always present the total picture. Actual PLAYING of a class, by the best players at the top ranks, tells the true story, not sub 50 PvP testing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthBloodloss Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Yea there's pretty much a 0.0% chance for any class balancing before 1.7 when 5 new levels are added. Could you think of a better way to waste resources than to update the classes a few months before you add 5 new levels and a bunch of new abilities? There's no way the new stuff will be balanced, but thats good for Mercs. We have nothing to lose. It might just turn out that we get the most love with some sick level 55 abilities, even if by accident. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still think they'd be wise to test a few things on our class prior to Makeb. See what works and what doesn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
