Yeah, it's not that bad if you're in complete control of the fight and you're playing a class that has absolutely no dots and 2+ mezzes!

Completely balanced.

Since the beginning of the game, some specs perform better than others depending of the target...what a news.

Hello, this is rock, nerf paper, scissor is fine.

It's inevitable that people will complain and ask for Nerf's, right now it's Merc and some day once Arsenal is Nerfed they will move on to the next target...

At this point just have fun with it and make a mental note of the Nerf criers in this thread. Later on when you see them in the next OP class thread complaining about another class they can't beat...you get to point out this thread...

Except for juggs and guardians. For some reason the playerbase protects them, and has always considered them "balanced", even when they were running around as tanks in dps gears wrecking entire teams and never dying.

Totally balanced though.

That's a bit exaggerated.. Jugg skank tanks are hard to kill...but their dps is pretty bad compared to a dps class. Always has been, and its even worse now in 5.0.

We are. We're also quietly enjoying reading all the QQ posts from players who don't realise that we were pretty much bottom of the pile for years and are now getting their respective rear ends handed back to them with utter joy. Honestly at this stage I'm like a puppy rolling in a puddle.

As much as I love this class, even when the inevitable happens, I'll be golden.* I mean I have 24 alts, how could I not be? At least I don't have to reroll

*As a side note, when they decide to gut this class is probably when I'll just give up in depair.

FYI i dont begurge hard damage stop either i just think 3 of them are silly
In 4.0 if you got kited dead by a merc as a jugg OR a marauder in a 1 vs 1 I can say one thing with confidence; you were an AWFUL jugg/mara.

In 4.0, the merc had crap defensives and any mediocre jugg or marauder could easily obliterate any merc in a 1 vs 1 with gap closers, big damage, and the ability to shut the merc down with stuns and snares made it impossible for the merc to get away. The merc/commando buttcharge only did one thing in 4.0, and that was prolong the inevitable which was death for tme merc.

It's pretty clear you begrudge the fact mercs are not an easy kill now, and instead YOU are being picked apart with ease just as they used to be by you. I think it's awesome that so many people are so angry about it, tbh.

It's hard to not find glee in the misery of stealths and juggs/marauders when for years they constantly had one easy target they could get a free kill off of every time in a wz when they caught them solo, that being the merc/commando.

This won't last forever, but for as long as it does, I agree with the wise Master-Alan, this is a gift bestowed upon the mercs and commandos. treasure it now, for it will not last forever!

Huh do you not think i didnt play merc in 4.0 ? Yeah you could easily kiite anything not named powertech .. maurders could kie 2 of them at a time. Merc was the only class that basically could out one v one an operative in 4.0 im not sure where you think merc doesnt or didnt have the tools to kite. If you had trouble kiting as a merc or have trouble now I'd beware of who your pointing fingers at and yelling baddie. Again use your crutch have fun with it when it goes well see if your the one thats able to adapt.

Mercs had tools to kite. But other classes had tools that circumvented any tools the mercs had in 4.0, just stop it already with trying to twist my words around. I never said mercs didn't have tools to kite.

Also, anyone that says, "Merc was the only one that could out one v one an operative in 4.0" loses a lot of credibility. I don't even have to explain why this statement alone is stupid and wrong.
