so many brehons, so many times spent chasing a kiter for 1min+.Heta said:thurg movie looks nice, but the merc need to up his play tbh, many strange things happening there

Shan said:You can use AF charges but no.
Casters can live without STR/CON (use AE) and on yellow base CON, no huge drop in HP.
No DEX to mercs too.

Naffets said:We manage using no spec AF and no base dex on mercs
Other than that everyone is buffed.
Aye i'll admit i could have played better, first tank in a set group rly so still learning.
Damage has increased from switching to a 4.2 mace and less spamming taunt
Will release movies of a few more fights after rr6 or so, not a whole dedicated merc movie though as it gets boring fast
Vasconcelos said:Prob with crush is that dmg of anytime chain sux, besides of the stun on followup, it has nothing to offer (low low dmg growth rate) so its essential to use DW pos styles as most as posible since even the rear crush style dmg isnt any good (not like DW rear chain is much better but still). Seen many 140dmg range hits on your video and thats poor.
Personally i would give up the crush low dur stun n swap both mercs to thrust: i remember in OF hitting for about 250 average main hand with Pierce style and about 200 with Sting, even more on mid support. Imo is a better dps option than ur current crush+slash since theres no malice+battler combo in that server. Only prob i see is not getting full advantage of race selection (saracens or ho for thrust spec like Zzang did) and having to use 1 more buff for each merc (base dex).
Same goes for hib bms: i would go pierce with fang+fastest offhand. I still remember the dmg Stormriderx or BaF bms could inflict with that combo.

Naffets said:Damage has significantly increased since the vid, switched to a 4.2 mace and now i'm rr5 so its a bit better now.
Like i said i spam taunt less too
Using 4.2 mainhand and 2.8 offhand, highest mainhand hit i did so far was ~402 without crit, with 3.8(used in vid) the highest i did was 359 or so
Thanks for some constructive criticism though.
Vasconcelos said:Credit for running alb tank grp in Lamorak anyways. without exclusive SoS like in OF, i rate mercs as the worst light tank. BMs with those imba styles (stun side style on CD n that lovely snare rear style) and savage/zerker dps potential both outperform mercs on a server with what, 9/10 tank grps?
Still thinking thrust is the way to go. At least give it a try during some days

Savages > mercs > zerk > bm when it comes to damage imo.Succi said:Mid > Alb > Hib tank dmg at low RR

Eva said:Didn't watch whole of theurg movie, was boring since it was no good competition. Just running over yanks basicly.
Merc movie shows good competition, but a bit poor playing. You need to use flank, get a decent backstyle(the level 29 ish one in crush has 0.70 growth rate I read, which owns dw one any day). In general you need to use positionals more. But as you've said yourself in the thread you changed since you recorded, and looking forward to the next movie.
Looks like fun on Lamorak, keep enjoying it. :] (Could use a few more groups in cluster though if I come back soon )
