Merc's in NF

[Martok]

So guys what does NF hold for merc's is it the end of us or will we survive!

This is mainly aimed at all the merc's out there not lucky enough to be in a wtf uber RvR guild!

Are we destined to solo or will we still stand a chance of grouping?

what do you people think?

Well I'll prolly be playing merc still as I prolly suck at every other class Then again I'm already soloing close to 100% of my time last couple weeks, and doubt it will get any better... So might switch to my cleric soon, unless I get a change from this solo shit ~

Hopefully the lame **** ML called grapple doesn't effect charge, i am going charge 3 definetly, 90s re-use timer is too good to ignore.Then i would get purge 2 and perhaps put most points into damage dealing passives since we lost dualist reflexes and preven flight got nerfed.

Reflex attack 3 is a nice realm ability if you solo a lot and hit hard.(tested it on gorre and it's very good for a solo merc, it's passive unstyled damage you hit back when an enemy hits you and works in about 1 in 3 swings)

Aug str 5 is roughly 12-15% more passive damage aswell as about 190 more weaponskill, but it seems aug str 3 pain 3/4 is a better investment.If you can get your hands on a cere bracer you may not need purge 2 and can save yourself 15 points which you can put more into damage dealing passives or toughness.(which is a lot better in NF, toughness is better than aug con too)

Not sure wether to get determination since lv4 didn't seem to make much of a difference on gorre with good resists.We shall see if mercs will be better in NF, i think with charge 3 they will be very good but without, you are missing the best realm ability they have and on such a low timer it's very worth it.(people say charge 2 is enough, maybe but what else would you get with the 15 more points that's better than a 90s re-use timer on our best realm ability in NF?)

Also empty the mind lv1 is a realm ability not to ignore either for 5 points.
