I was thinking about making a Bounty Hunter. When you say BH Merc kinda sucks, is that because its weak or just boring to play or something?
It depends a little on what you’re looking for. And keep in mind that I have played this game on and off for a long time, but I’m not necessarily up to speed on the latest meta. Merc, as opposed to Sniper/Gunslinger, is pretty mobile. So you can run around blasting stuff, which you can’t do with Sniper. Merc also has a lot in the way of CC. Merc specced for healing is decent, but in all the time I’ve played, people always say Operative is the best healer, with Sorc as the next best, leaving Merc as last. So Merc isn’t as good at DPS or at healing, so it’s a little slower going through the mobs if you’re soloing, and obviously not as ideal as other classes for group content. It looks cool, and some of the abilities are straight up badass. The benefit that Merc would have over Sorc and Operative is again the mobility. Many of merc’s abilities can be activated while moving. Personally, I find the gameplay of Powertech much much more fun and much more appealing, even if loses some of the “badass” of double blasters. If you’re gonna roll a BH, I would go for Powertech.
