ED Divine Darkness -> RE: Static Smash (5/30/2013 7:16:38)

guys! they r not op. hav u never blocked a static smash or have your static smash blocked? this is why i prefer assim, because even if it is blocked u still get the full amount of energy back.
Mondez is right u fools who think it is op, in is NOT op just a move that makes merc a bit more balanced and useable.



DunkThatOreo -> RE: Static Smash (5/30/2013 15:09:15)

Oh my lord everyone just stop. This skill is not insanely op. It just needs to go down a few percentages and it's fine. You guys are acting as if this skill changed the entire game for the worse.
Lower the percentage and it's fine, that's all that needs to be said.



NDB -> RE: Static Smash (5/30/2013 23:39:55)

Pfft. When I started the thread, that was sorta what I was saying--it's OP as in it's better than it needs to be, not game-changing. I only overreacted in the beginning because it had been an hour or so after the update. But still. I stick by my opinion that Mercenaries are now one of the best class.



Blaze The Aion Ender -> RE: Static Smash (5/31/2013 0:12:58)

NDB
I cannot agree
I think mercenary right now is at a perfect place
No too powerful, but not weak



NDB -> RE: Static Smash (5/31/2013 0:20:42)

Notice how I said "one of". There is no such thing as just in between so I said that because I believe it is still on the better end of the spectrum.



SouL Prisoner -> RE: Static Smash (5/31/2013 0:30:38)

The reason why i told Merc is Oped and not specifically the SS(static smash) skill is because i have encountered few merc builds which works perfectly with static smash and that's gonna be some serious prob once people start copying that kind of builds, and that time you people are the one that's gonna whine in this forum...

Have fun :)

A hundred times this.

It seems to me that you lose to EVERY Mercenary LOL

I bet you have one of those caster builds with Plasma bolt. Every time you want to plasma bolt, they want to static smash you giving you no energy. Then your completely useless since you can't plasma bolt and have a weak strength/support damage to kill them.



Ranloth -> RE: Static Smash (5/31/2013 10:29:19)

The Smash is only strong against Energy builds, that's all. If you take BM, BH or a Merc without Smash as an example, you can get rid off your Energy asap and that'll render them useless. Works against Casters too since they rely on Reroute thus EP draining Core may come in very handy.

I've fought few Mercenaries, in Juggernaut for the time being, and I had it used against me. Blocked once or twice, few have landed and made it harder for me to use one of the skills but Generator got it all back so I was fine. After that, I've had 1-3 EP left so Smash was useless. You just kill them with your weapons and wait for rage (HA is ignored on rage).



Bloodpact -> RE: Static Smash (5/31/2013 10:40:48)

^ i'm a BM and it's so easy to get around, as you said
I just drain all my own ep in 2 turns and Static is useless xD.


People just need to Learn to play



Ranloth -> RE: Static Smash (5/31/2013 10:46:47)

It's good to waste it on Heal. You're gonna get it drained anyway and since Smash deals no damage, you can easily Heal without risking taking in more damage and losing the fight. Or shield, use a skill, whatever. Getting rid off the Energy renders 'em useless. Those with Reroute will find it more difficult but they get the Energy back passively + if they block Smash, they can use their Energy to their advantage. CHs can just forgoe using SC during the battle to be on the safe side.



The Incredible Hulk -> RE: Static Smash (5/31/2013 11:14:12)

I have changed class so many times....
I cannot be asked to change again, would change mercenary but can't waste varium



Kiing of Frost -> RE: Static Smash (5/31/2013 12:44:24)

You guys, is there really any reason to fight over this, as is mercenary is now one of the most well balanced classes in the game, so instead of screaming op or whatever you wish to scream play some and practice to get better, it makes a world of difference.
Stay Frosty

There is no "fighting" going on, it's simply clashing opinions.

You can't really practice, it's whoever has the better cores and the better side of luck.

Now I have no quarrel with you, good sir knight... (Please tell me someone got that reference) But what you are doing here is falsely accusing the majority of us at large that we lack the skills to be a seasoned player.



STRUT MY MUTT -> RE: Static Smash (5/31/2013 14:34:07)

Nerf not supported. I think the skill is fine the way it.





Kiing of Frost -> RE: Static Smash (5/31/2013 14:43:10)

Nice Monty Python Lick, I am not a black knight, lol but my bold statements are not meant to offend but simply state the fact that nerfing this skill is simply not necessary.
Stay Frosty



SylvanElf -> RE: Static Smash (5/31/2013 16:42:07)

@ED Divine Darkness, "guys! they r not op. hav u never blocked a static smash or have your static smash blocked? "

In fact, I have yet to block a static smash out of I don't know how many encounters. The percentages need to be nearly halved, or perhaps change the scaling. Sure Assimilation deals 85% damage but in actuality it's usually a hit of 3 and might as well not even deal damage.



Ranloth -> RE: Static Smash (5/31/2013 16:51:27)

A hit of 3? Who are you facing - a Caster with 20 Strength...? With moderate Strength (16-20) and +35 damage weapon, you get 51-55 damage. 85% of it is 44-47. How are they hitting 3 damage on you? Don't assume Casters, we're assuming a normal build here. They are bound to deal 3 damage with that Strength even with 100% damage. >.>

It is blockable. I've blocked it at least twice now. And halved? Then you halve EMP as well. You'd end up making Atom + Static Smash even more useless compared to EMP. Not mentioning Maul requirements + blockable. Smash is still an EP draining skill like Atom. Assimilation's purpose is to provide on-demand Energy, not necessarily an EP drain.



The Incredible Hulk -> RE: Static Smash (5/31/2013 17:08:19)

And tech mages have re route, so what's the big fuss. If tech mages didn't have no re route then yeah, I would've complained my self but the skill is absolute fine. You guys just want mercenaries to be weak again just like it was before the update!!!!!!!!!

Mercenaries have always been weak, It's time to make that class stand out against the others. I'm not changing merc till that class is fully fixed. I love merc but I can't change right now, it's still UP IMO.

I would love to have my hulk build back on merc with that berseker....... but 75% I think static smash is going to get nerfed ^_^.



Mondez -> RE: Static Smash (5/31/2013 17:11:47)

The skill seriously balances out Mercs for once and I hated using the Support build I had going on because it was difficult for my Focus Merc to get a hand on things.

Now my merc is owning against builds that rely too much on energy. [sm=zorb_smilie.gif]



SylvanElf -> RE: Static Smash (5/31/2013 19:01:18)

Are you guys seriously saying that the skill is fine as is? *headdesk*

@Trans
Right now the normal build for TMs with staffs IS super caster... I think it's a safe assumption at the present time.



Ranloth -> RE: Static Smash (5/31/2013 19:11:54)

There's a difference now. You're assuming Caster and 3 damage with 85% (and it'd be same with 100%). Damage gives rage. Rage is given to you and your opponent. The skill stacks with rage.

Static Smash does NOT give rage to anyone, does not deal damage, and it's blockable (where it drains 15%).



SylvanElf -> RE: Static Smash (5/31/2013 19:16:54)

Hmm... would I rather have minimal damage inflicted and moderate rage gain, or practically Double energy drain and gain with small chance of block?

But enough of this, I've stated my personal opinion and I'll leave it at that.



Blaze The Aion Ender -> RE: Static Smash (5/31/2013 23:01:00)

When I used Assimilaton, I was still doing decent enough damage...
I don't know who you're fighting...



CN2025 -> RE: Static Smash (5/31/2013 23:18:20)

its only slightly op i had a very good partner and 2 mercs with static smash owned us with repeated bunker
