WaldoA Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 Merc is better ranged DPS, Arsenal is best DPS tree, and I'm not too sure since I've barely played my Merc past 30. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schnopsnosn Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 PT is basically a melee/close range-DPS. And tbh I find the PT to be much more enjoyable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WaldoA Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 I prefer my 30 Merc to my 50 Vangaurd to be honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master_Hitsugaya Posted February 16, 2013 Author Share Posted February 16, 2013 (edited) Merc is better ranged DPS, Arsenal is best DPS tree, and I'm not too sure since I've barely played my Merc past 30. That is the specilization and tree I was thinking about chosing but was not sure I keep hearing people say merc is bad that it can't beat anything?

ahduth Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 Mercs are the worst possible class to play in pvp. PTs are among the best. PTs also do more raid damage than mercs. So unless you're going to heal, go PT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yoomazir Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 What tree in pt is good? And if I do pt I can still do rangers right cause I thought it was melee. Pyrotech for DPS, Shieldtech for tanking, and yes PT is a melee character. LOL, giving PT tips in a merc forum, how low our class has fallen.

JimmyTheCannon Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 Only focus on PT if you're going to play a lot of PVP. If you don't really care about that, Merc is great. PTs *do* have some ranged attacks - basically, any attack that Bounty Hunters get that has a range of 30 will stay at a range of 30 for Powertechs. Unload, Explosive Dart, Rail Shot, Rapid Shots, and Death From Above will all stay at a 30 meter range. That said, most of a Powertech's DPS requires 4-10 meters max. Mercs are FANTASTIC for PVE DPS. I can regularly out-DPS equally geared Marauders and Snipers (and for crying out loud people stop telling me they must be doing something wrong, that's just annoying).

JimmyTheCannon Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 Not really. Not really to which part? They're not fantastic, or I'm not out-DPSing Snipers and Marauders? Because both are actually true. Are they the top? No. But they're easily top 3, and when played right can (as I've seen) out-DPS Snipers and Marauders *without* the aggro problems a PT doing equivalent DPS will have.
