xxxromanxxx4 -> Tactical Mercenary rethink (11/3/2013 8:14:43)

A while ago i bought a tactical mercenary and now i realize that it is not a very useful build and in fact not highly regarded.

With most classes it is possible with a refined build to see people who have 75% win statistics and above in 2v2 and 1v1 however with tactical i have never seen someone with a decent win ratio.

I cant quite decide what the problem is but what i know for sure is that there IS a problem and i hope it gets balanced.

I know a few of you will argue that the energy regain or something gives them an advantage over most tanks or something but the point is: If it does, where is the proof?

Tactical merc is also one of the few classes were there is still certain gear you need to make them fully effective biggest of which is a infernal android since that thing is 'still' unbalanced and goes great with the survivability there tankiness gives them which means they can say surgical strike then rage infernal for massive damage late game.

use imagine dragon's build. look her up on Utube as imagine dragon ed, and in the latest vid, you will see her tank tlm surgical focus build. it does work, cos you tank and out damage opponents, then you steal their one advantage- rage. tlm is a good class because it has tanking properies( MA and reroute) aswell as energy control( Atom) hp regain( surgical and frenzy) and ragesteal (surgical). thats about all you need to own as a tank.



Noobatron x3000 -> RE: Tactical Mercenary rethink (11/3/2013 17:32:12)

completely disagree with the IA build

best build ive seen for tlm is poison combined with strength it can stand up to 35s at l30 not giving the full details.

Not starting another breed of copy and pasters

But yeah their are strong tlm builds out their.



ReinVI -> RE: Tactical Mercenary rethink (11/3/2013 18:57:47)

I'm not saying that there aren't other builds but the point of it is the TlM is still a very viable class and one that I've honestly given thought to switching to ( especially now that BM's got the major shaft with the energy - core balance update. Love the update hate how hard it hit the one class with no energy gain/ drain )



lionblades -> RE: Tactical Mercenary rethink (11/3/2013 19:00:10)

Tlm is indirectly buffed from the other classes (core update favors energy gainers) now so its still a viable class

Also, I just noticed BM is the only class that can't steal or gain energy without using cores -_-



toopygoo -> RE: Tactical Mercenary rethink (11/3/2013 19:03:07)

uhm... how can BH regain energy without cores, but BM not?



ReinVI -> RE: Tactical Mercenary rethink (11/3/2013 19:05:56)

technically they can both regain energy through usage of reflex boost but that really doesn't count cause you 'might' regain the amount of energy used to cast the skill in the first place :/

BM has EMP and can steal energy, TM has assim that can steal AND use energy AND reroute, TLM has reroute, CH has static, Merc has smash, etc. BM is the only one that doesnt have any energy taking/stealing moves



toopygoo -> RE: Tactical Mercenary rethink (11/3/2013 19:08:13)

or less. however, its more useful in 2v2, where you can give your partner a energy regain boost :P but yes, neither of them do, HOWEVER! they are the two with the most effective HP regain passive skills, and the last time i checked, you can live without energy, but die without HP, which does add a certain sense of balance. The only reason you feel you are at a disadvantage is because you dont have it. if you were to switch to regular mage, i guarantee you'd really miss your HP regain, becasue as a tech mage, thats what i feel would enhance me alot sometimes :P



ReinVI -> RE: Tactical Mercenary rethink (11/3/2013 19:22:33)

honestly I still feel BM has gotten the shaft with this update ( not a bad thing nor is it a good thing ) since I love BM's but due to peoples hatred of the 'abuse' bm all of them get a bad rep...



Pemberton -> RE: Tactical Mercenary rethink (11/3/2013 21:50:39)

Best TacMercs I fight are poison Tacs. Infinite poison. Infinite energy. Tanks. What more do you want?



ReinVI -> RE: Tactical Mercenary rethink (11/4/2013 0:18:07)

@ pemberton easy access to energy drain? oh wait...



kittycat -> RE: Tactical Mercenary rethink (11/4/2013 2:28:03)

Tactical Mercenaries will do fine - though Frenzy can have its % increased by 2% or 3% and Blood Shield increase its effect from 6 to 15.



charwelly -> RE: Tactical Mercenary rethink (11/4/2013 2:37:46)

I actually have a great build, use a str/defense build using double strike and heal
