Videos like this are why I like your channel so much. You don't just play FOTM specs or builds. You try to kick ass with everything and I respect that a lot. Arsenal isn't my favorite spec but it is one I like to play from time to time and I agree that it ain't half as bad as people make it out to be. Side note: I loved how much you fucked with that Marauder in the first game :)
First let me say thank you for awesome video content as always! I was wondering if you could turn up the volume when you let it play out without commentary because I don't have an awesome sound system and I had to turn volume up to 90/100 just to hear sound effects :). Once again thank you!
@@asamibeniko I really love SWTOR and missed it when I was playing FFXIV. I just love the story and the world. I actually got mad about the new ability tree and un-subbed that is until my head cooled off and I subbed again. Decade of investing in this game made me feel like I am responsible for keeping it alive by paying the sub lol.
My issue is that you have to pick reflect which is very important in pvp or the root break/ run speed to kite which is also very important. You are forced to give up kiting which is bad in pvp for a ranged class or lose a really important DCD. They also need a dps bump.
One of my fav classes. Good in pve 20 to 24k but just can't pump in pvp about 9k dps which is sad. Wish it was better in pvp. When you make your guides could you Include defensive like examples of when use ect for whatever class the guide is on? Don't think anyone does that. Thanks
i play this sometimes and against avg players this class barely feels any damage and thats at least against half in a warzone. it will take 3 or 4 of them to take you down. in seconds.
I don’t know if you remember me or not but I used to play with you and finndawg. I just came back to the game and it’s nice to see that you still play.
@@josephthomas3584 Nice man. yeah we are still on from time to time. Character name? if you had the pwn discord from before its still the place we hang out in when we are on
Arsenal merc mains are like the biggest cryers ever. They have 5 lives, the most overpowered FU ability in the game, the easiest rotation ever, many powerful instants, range, self heals, 2 rocket outs, an instant mezz-because what else will you use power override for and good burst and they still cry. They can't have literally everything. If they want PT damage/burst they need to give up something else, otherwise there is no point in playing other classes.
honestly arsenal is only bad due to being the only ranged spec with literally zero cleave capability. if the aoe heatseeker option wasn't so weak you could do 12k very easily. also controversial opinion but I think sniper is worse off--would rather have low damage than zero defensives
I started playing swtor after almost 10 years to do only some pvp and as a solo player, mercenary almost made me quit game after 4 weeks of gameplay. All these defensive cooldowns changes nothing if you have 2 melee(or 1 marauder with good gear and full cds) on you, eventually you die. (Not even gonna talk about endless marauders/juggernauts charging/spamming root on you.) Either they should give some mobility immunity/speed to class which I heard taken on 7.0 so you can at least run away or make it tanky as f..k if they want it to be stand and fight class.
omg, are you telling me that if people 2v1 or 3v1 you ... you die? This is an outrage. You should be able to beat 100v1 with merc like all other classes can. We need to write bioware this instant! This cannot stand!

That marauder in the beginning was like, "notice me senpai!!!"
LOL
Very helpful when all the other youtubers discouraging me from playing my fav spec
It's not bad in pvp but I think most people are complaining about pve.
I have problems with veteran star fortresses and Eternal championship

As i recall to use unload while moving you have to give up a really critical talent. This just really hurts Merc
How does arsenal fare against other ranged classes in 1v1? It seems really good at surviving vs melee even if its damage is low.
I tried it on a low level char yesterday and I was able to get 10 kills,so ya,it has good bursts but u must stick with the rotation perfectly
It’s actually really strong in 1v1s vs ranged. I usually dont have a problem especially against sorcs
@@ragequittinggaming2342 bro sorcs aren't a challenge considering we are the punching bags for every other class so lol
@@asamibeniko well especially mercs because of stronger defensives and electronet:)
@@ragequittinggaming2342 True
Hi , very nice vidéo and i love the merco.
What is your cap in crit alac and preci ? And index level 330 ?
Thx for your answer
8% alacrity ish. 105% accuracy and the rest into crit. My item level is 326

I think 6k dps is a pretty generous number for 90% of the playerbase lol

The defensive cooldowns of this spec are actually pretty legit I agree
@@ragequittinggaming2342 thats just using the green shield i forget the name. Its kinda like op minus the stealth and all that touching.
We need merc/commando guide to be like pro)
I do just fine
What state is this class in these days? has it had any buffs since this video?
No buffs since. Not in the best place but still fun
@@ragequittinggaming2342 That's a damn shame
madness sorc will ruin your life in 8v8 at least :(
What server do you play on?
star forge

Best class for dps???
The most consistent I've seen this patch are Lethality Operatives.
@@ragequittinggaming2342 can you make a lethality guide my dude?

The only mobility improvement that would be good enough for me is to let you use rocket out while you are rooted and it would be fine.
