PVP versus other classes.

[digidevil4]

Hey guys

Just a quick question to pose to anyone playing Merc or PT with PVP experience.

1. What do you consider the most difficult class to take down?
2. What do you consider the most deadly class in 1 on 1?
3. What do you consider the easiest class to take down?

here are my answers. (Im PT)

1. Trooper
2. Mercs
3. Operatives/Smugglers

Oh and if anyone has any advice to add when it comes to taking down a specific class add it on aswell, I figure this will make for an interesting reference point.

So hard in 1 vs 1, i think BH is not good in 1 vs 1

It's a little bit of a subjective question disguised as an objective one. Reason for that is that the skill of an opponent goes over everything else. Anything I post here is therefor accompanied with the disclaimer that these is just based on my personal perception and that I have been amazed and the excellent and extremely poor performance of pretty much everything I have encountered in game so far. In addition to that every class has tactics it's well or not so well suited for the deal with.

1. Anything melee. Merc is just not well suited to combat in melee.
2. Operatives/Scoundrels hands down. The burst is amazing.
3. Operatives/Scoundrels as long as they aren't in melee with me.

As I said, the above is highly subjective. I play a Merc and Mercs just don't deal well with melee types. I'm sure Operatives/Scoundrels will dislike going up against tanks, and that other range classes dislike how easily Mercs can take damage with their high armor, shields and selfheals...

We fail in close combat, we dont have good skill to survive, just jetBost but this skills dont save your life, becouse you cant sprint. THe other one is energy shield but... this shield is a funny bubble comapred with the sorc shields...

Im assuming ur a merc. powertech subclass has great survivability, not to mention melee dps skills.

Energy shield, kolto overload + shield,absorb relics makes u formidable against a large group of people.

In hutball if I am running for the goal with the ball being attacked by 4 or 5 people I just activate Shield, kolto overload, shielding relic and I can keep myself alive for quite awhile (sometimes even use hydrolics override to get away).

Yeah this is true, for that i play with a hybrid build: Bodyguard and Arsenal. I take tracer missile to have good dmg, and i focus in criticals heals and energy Sheild (+20% Heals on me and no interrpution).
