SMGs don’t provide enough firepower for fire support mercs, especially without a very good combat ability.

Name is lackluster

Overlaps with Stoker, even down to the cooldown. Why would you even use this in place of Stoker? It doesn’t last long enough, has the (about) same cooldown, and you have to manually ignite it. That’s assuming you mean 8.5 meter diameter when you say AOE. 8.5 meter radius is huge, in which case, why use Stoker?

(BushWanker) #3

@Dysfnal you would use stoker because of the cool down, and duration as you mentioned, not to mention that he sacrifices gun fire power for AOE on ability.
Also this ability can affect the EV which the Molotov can not(hardly).

(Dysfnal) #4

Stoker has a ~40 second cooldown FYI

(BushWanker) #5

So this is longer, a reason to use stoker.

(Dysfnal) #6

By seven whole seconds! Impressive.

@Dysfnal that’s not the only reason man.
-he has more fire power
-lower cool down
-longer duration
-automatically ignites
Reasons to use oil
-slows down EV and other enemies
-speeds up your EV and friendlies
-moves quicker

Why slow down the EV when you can block off the path to it? Or better yet, bring arty, and the EV is toast

(BushWanker) #9

@Dysfnal because you can’t cover the whole EV to block the path, and arty has no indoor utility which could be useful on EV maps where you can also go indoors.

(Dysfnal) #10

There will be no EV maps with indoor sections. Stoker’s Molotov can block choke points, and should be used to do so halfway through an enemy push

This exact merc has been discussed a few times - one of which was a re-post. Feel free to look back into the older posts if you can find them. I’ve commented on the merc already.

(Dysfnal) #12

Not to mention the repost was by Bushwanker if I’m not mistaken

(BushWanker) #13

@Naonna @Dysfnal it didn’t get much ATTN so I reposted it.
Uhm, bridge the 3rd obj is indoor, a large part of chapel is indoor as well, same as dockyard when it gets released.

@Bushwanker - Just bump it to the top by commenting on it, then. =.=

(BushWanker) #15

@Naonna didn’t know that worked lol
