50DW, 50Crush, rest parry

You might want 7-Shield for Engage, if you plan to pve/solo

Isn't merc supposed to be, like, a bit stealthy...

Anyone else find this like hiding an elephant in a blueberry bush? You can try and try, but the f*cking elephant is still gonna show.

Also, isn't ToA level 50 mostly? Or...all of it...as i've had the pleasure of assuming. So how can you -start- a class in ToA? Isn't it like:

"I'll start a class -because- of ToA"

or

"Since ToA is coming out, i'm starting a yada yada"


Just saying...

I've been hearing half-ogre slash merc will be better, due to some uber artifact?

Battler got a well deserved nerf, so that isn't really the case post 1.68 ;)

Why crush btw? Teh hib support is resistant to it and the mid support is only neutral. Or is the armour table I'm looking at wrong.

I believe because it has the best combo with weapons for maximum haste effect. Meaning a veeeeeeery slow right hand and veeeery fast left hand...

Merc

I have wanted to start a tank on pvp server for months and always too much choice got the better of me so i created nothing (Atm i have 2 mains on 2 different accs BD + shaman. Then i heard about Half ogre crush mercs... and decided to pick one of them. My main concerns are how much dmg i will be doing (assist train) and secondly how good they are for farming in duo with a shaman (yellow spec buff). Is there any point to choose a berserker still?

Doubt we can have 'fun' with the battler b4 we get 1.68 as it can take upto 800k RPs to get it to lvl10!

I'll most likely get it with my minnie and once i have the phoebus 'all in one' harp I can put the battler in my 2H slot and forget about it.. after about 6 months of rvr it might be lvl10. :eek7:

Got a 50 troll zerk on mid excal :) so i don't want the same. I've narrowed it down to HO Merc... or i am also toying with the idea of a norse zerker with 50 hammer 50 parry (spliot spec). I know it sounds weird and all will cry "gimp!!" but a berserker with 2 hand will probably really lay the smack down. I know zerkers are the only melee class to still be able to do 100%-1hp crits vs players. Just wish i knew how well they would perfrom in pve with 50 in parry.
