DkSharktooth Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 (edited) Hi I have seen all the class changes on 1st day of PTS and alot more classes have serious movement speed or sprint like ability boosts. The 90second electronet cooldown is to long and would do alot better for mercs/commandos as a 30-45-60 second cooldown. What are your thoughts? Please Put your thoughts on the PTS Threads so devs can see it: Electronet AOE / Interrupt Immunity Ideas: http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=607787 [bug/Feedback/Delay] Electro Net (video included) http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=605710 Powertech 2.0 [vs] Mercenary 2.0 http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=607347 [Poll] Would you bring a Mercenary/Commando to your Ideal Ranked Warzone Team in 2.0? http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=606602&page=2 Commando DPS PvP Feedback http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=606411 Electronet 90s cooldown http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?p=5894824#post5894824 --- P.S.

NoTomorrow Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 It needs to be a low CD ability. It's way too important to keep it on such a ridiculously long CD like 1:30. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NogueiraA Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 It needs to be a low CD ability. It's way too important to keep it on such a ridiculously long CD like 1:30. Low CD why?? Mercs already have many tools to keep distance from melees and stealth. 4sec stun 8sec mezz arsenal can spec 4sec root. knockback + slow unload + slow now they have electronet...

AngelofCain Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 most are cleansable. So they are very SoL atm. With the current cd it is as long as a concealment ops vanish. Still, it is a tech slow, so ops should be able to cleanse it. unless its not going to be cleansable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem is that NONE of those snares will allow you to put distance between you and the melee if the melee snares you. The stun/mezz/knockback work, but after subtracting the one instance when used where the melee can use Unleash, you will only get one of those up before his Resolve bar is full. So you get one of those off, which is equal to the number of times he can incapacitate you. The snare/stun calculus does not favor the Merc vs. an attacking melee. Rather it is a neutral issue that does not alter the fact that the melee can out dps the Merc in a 1v1 scenario. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iPvP Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 yea a 30sec CD would be good. and since we still miss out on a 45% armor pen on railshot compared to PT, i still think powershot should be castable while moving, or atleast make power shot a 75% reset chance, i think the alacrity buff will help, we should be able to get those 90 crit 70 alac enhancments or somthing to make powershot less of a pain, + I REALLY want missle solvo or whatever to shoot regular missle blasts becuase the reduced dmg hits less than rapid shots Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xerain Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 Electro-net CD being 90 seconds is retarded. Needs to be lowered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xerain Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 Even xerain wants it lowered. I am scared:eek: Well merc needs to be a better class IMO. They're taking some steps in the right direction but not doing that well with CD's and what appears to be damage on the new stuff. Yes the Missile Salvo thing needs to do more damage.

As I stated elsewhere, Missile Salvo is USELESS. *Was*. Now they have buffed it slightly. So now it will do similar damage to Rapid Shots - and will still trigger CGC slower than Rapid Shots 70% of the time. While using more heat. Doh. Still next to useless.

Not really, if specced pyro, MB+IM (+Fusion) = dot parade, also with Mortal Salvo, Missile Blast don't have anymore 6 cooldown (only the proc), so while you run around, cast it once at the beginning, you have already a guaranteed proc unlike rapid shots.

LanceCorporalDan Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 I think 45 seconds is fair. High enough to not be spammed Low enough to allow for consistent utility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
koffinushko Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 I think 45 seconds is fair. High enough to not be spammed Low enough to allow for consistent utility. 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.

With the newest changes, Rapid Shots is a de facto auto CGC proc. Missile Blast was and still is next to useless. Also the whole DoT thing is just a bad idea. No one wants a DoT dps anymore. For a simple reason. DoTs interfere with the key method that teams use to capture nodes - mezz/cc. Even in a 1v1 duel, the DoT class is hosed because he can't use mezz/cc effectively. Anyway, w.r.t. Electronet, once melee figure out how to counter it, it will be useless. Right now so many melee on PTS don't even know when they have it on them. So they run around and kill themselves. Once they figure it out, it will just be a minor speed bump on the way to killing the Merc. Edited March 15, 2013 by Macroeconomics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
