Rate/Rank your Mercs...

[PixelTwitch]

Ok, so personally I feel that the balancing on the Mercs is actually pretty decent for the most part. Most of my issues when it comes to “balance” actually comes down to “frustration” rather than actually having an OP Merc. I would be interested to see what order you would rank all the Mercs in order to see if my feelings about a few that are literally made obsolete due to their position in their respective classes… Here is my list.

TOP
Kira
Sawbones
Thunder
Bushwacker
Rhino
Skyhammer
Redeye
Fragger
Vasseli
Stoker
Proxy
Phoenix
Arty
Sparks
Nader
Aura
Aimee
Fletcher
Phantom
BOTTOM

So let’s hear your feelings.

[tangoliber]

I don’t know about balancing…but the three Mercs I like to have active are Phoenix, Proxy and Kira.

Phoenix and Kira are chosen for their primary weapon. Proxy is chosen because there aren’t a lot of engineer options, and she is my favorite among those.

[Erkin31]

I haven’t enough played all mercs, but my top is the same as you (Kira , classic soldiers) and at the bottom Sparks, Fletcher, Phantom.
The only point where i’m I disagree with your list is the Aura position. I find that its shotgun is powerfull and she is fast, I would place her over the average position in the list.

Haven’t played for 2 months but:

• sawbonez best medic overall
• fragger cause he got f_ucking nades
• skyhammer best field overall and got f_cking airstrike
• phoenix/bushwacker cause their weapons accuracies remind me of ET so they feel amazing.
• to lazy to do all of them

[BrightIs]

Top 8 are:

Phoenix (Good gun, and can give health without doing anything)
Sawbones (Old school medic)
Kira (fun ability)
Nader (reminds me of panzerfaust and is good for destroying ev)
Skyhammer (airstrike)
Rhino (funny merc, good to have humour in an fps so its not all too serious)
Proxy (has mines)
Fragger (nades)

[montheponies]

fairly sure SD could provide the list of most popular thru to least…

i only really play the following, changing them to suit my mood/map;

sawbonez
proxy
stoker
fragger
kira
bushwacker

roughly in that order, though as i say it changes with my mood.

Kira simply has the best ironsight and an OP ability vs EV atm, so I am not surprised to see it as a top pick.

Also kira has like no recoil, or at least a lot less than other assault rifles, making consecutive headshots very easy.

Order in how good they are, not how much I enjoy them, so this isn’t necessarily the order in which I tend to play. You can’t determine how good they are entirely on how much they are played. Sawbones for example is just a good general medic, which is nice to play as, though he isn’t the best character. None of the medics are really, but people need to have them so they are still used a lot.

[Rokkamaisteri]

Arty, I truly love to use Arty
Thunder
Fragger
Stoker
Skyhammer

Bushwacker

I really don’t wanna be medic in this game as I’ve been too often on that role in other games. xP

TOP
Aimee (strong primary if you can get the Frames per second … stronger than Vassili )
Rhino (only cuz hes OP)
Sawbones (strongest med cuz of primary)

dont bother using in srs gameplay
Aura (crap weapon / ability … probably the worst class in the game )
Fletcher (i don’t play shotgun classes, proxy is better because of her speed)
Phantom (k/d ratio goes down on here, only valuable for plants)

[Rokkamaisteri]

[QUOTE=xdc;499703]TOP

[/QUOTE]

Also I wonder if Fletcher’s shotgun is only that cannot kill from one shot the target, unlike Aura or Proxy. Least I cannot manage to do same as with Proxy or Aura.
