Interesting new merc idea with detailed video : WING


(MintGuitar) #1

Drop me your thoughts down below on the merc idea and we can discuss how he could work / be balanced! :smile:

Merc name : Wing
Health : 100
Speed : 430

A scout merc with 2 useful abilities
Ability 1 - Motion sensors, detects enemies in a 15m radius
Ability 2 - Thrust jump, temporary jump boost for 15 seconds that allows you to get to a higher spot and / or to escape from combat.

Weapons
Bow ā€œAvionā€ - similar to sniper in damage and range
M9 for close quarters countering

It would be nice if we could have a written summary of the idea in addition to the video.

When Rhino pre-boost ran 350 speed, you know this is unplayably slow.

A1.) So, Vassili’s Heartbeat Sensors all over again.
A2.) It would be better if you were to just hold the jump button to charge the jump, Super Mario Bros. 2 style. Makes the jump more controllable, and you’ll have a slight delay before firing it off to escape combat. Cooldown varies depending on the state of charge of the jump. Enable and disable the jump charging with the associated Ability key.[/quote]

Similar to sniper in damage, but similar in mobility to the Grandeur/Dreiss, yes? It compares to those rifles in range, mobility, and general categorization, but does the damage of sniper rifles. I figure that’s a nice reward for accurate headshots accounting for travel time and arrow drop, and to make up for the horrid RoF with a bow.
