Me and a buddy are gonna start playing on Uthgard and I was wondering if Thrust Mercs are viable/useful? He plans on playing an Infiltrator (thrust). Or am I just much better off being a Crush Merc?



Any advice is appreciated. I haven't played since WAR was about to release. (I played a Reaver on Classic)

In my opinion, it's preference. As thrust, you'd be neutral to hib and have a bonus against mid support. That's not too bad. I'm also pretty partial to thrust styles, but you'll probably end up using more DW styles.

An advantage crush will have is that shield spec isn't as necessary for soloing or small group, as you have the after taunt stun.

And if you havent started it yet, level on crush until 48 to AT thrust/slash.
Alb - Eternitys, Eternityz, Spectres, Prophecy, Phantasm, Swarm
Mid - Spheres, Cicada, Aalea

Eternitys - If were allowing custom changes, why would the staff choose to remove a very very good and highly accepted custom change such as barrels? Then on top of that, use the "it's livelike" excuse as a reason for removing them? If staff are so concerned about livelike and that's the direction the staff wish to go, I'd fully support a 100% livelike server. However if there are custom changes on the server, then using the "livelike" excuse is being nothing more then hypocritical.

Staff - Locked!

My merc is slash atm and all specs so far were pretty good as I mostly use the DW-styles anyways. No big difference for a solo/duo-player ;)
