Mechanics vs High Mobs
Hey Basil, looking for a fun class to make as I will almost be done leveling my Corsair to 200. I can't decide between a Mechanic and a Bowmaster after this. I have a 200 Marksman so I'm kind of biased about it haha. Anyways, which class exceeds the other against mobbing? Bowmasters or Mechanics. I'm only playing this character for the sole purpose of having a fun experience to level 200 like I did with my Marksman and my Corsair I'm currently working on. Again, which one is best at mobbing capabilities at SH DH2 or HoH?
EDIT: Thanks for the input guys, I have decided to make a Mech. Prepping it to level 110 at the moment and made it today. I must say their mobbing is superb and I have already hit level 103. Man am I loving this class already.

@MrPirate: Actually I did the math myself a while ago on post hyper Mech vs Sair damages. Mech beats sair hands down in mobbing. Although their 1v1 both came out very close but with mech with the slightly higher theoretical 1v1 but sair is lighter on its feet, but Mech has 100% stance, ect ect.
[quote=Kazzooey]Did you just compare a Mechanic's mobbing with a Bowmaster's? LOL! Kinda like comparing a Bishop to a Kaiser in 1v1.
Yea I found bowmasters really boring, and Mechanics have some of the best mobbing in the game.[/quote]
lol sairs eight legs is stronger, buccs bucc blast is better, cannoneer bazooka is better, even jetts subortital is stronger and every1 hates jetts...
so mechs mobbing is not THAT great -_-
100% stance.
Nuff' said?
Everyone seems to forget Mechs also have robots. The laser fence, the little walking robots and the new lightning ball skill. Mechanics have many skills that can all stack on the mob on top of siege mode.
@KniteX0 You can still use potion pots.
The only problem you might have with mechs is they don't have much in the survivability department (slow, slow mobbing, big hitbox) so get ready to spam pots. Unfortunately, the mechanic's heal skill has been broken since the release and nexon seems to have 0 intention of fixing it
The high mobs have a chance of getting arrested; attack for game; gg.
@iowncloud: Alright tyvm for the correction.
@PitchBlack0:
Hurricane hits at 8 hits/second not counting AFA, with split hurricane it hits 16 w/o AFA. Keep in mind AFA does NOT apply to split hurricane and only accounts for 8 out of the 16 hits per seconds ( basically remains the same the entire time ).
@iowncloud: Does it really only hit 16 times with the split? I was under the impression that it fared better than that.
[quote=PitchBlack0]@iowncloud double hurricane.[/quote]
16 hits split hurricane > 24 hits siege. Mindblown
[quote=PitchBlack0]@iowncloud double hurricane.[/quote]
double hurricane only splits the damage so siege still > hurricane. Siege is simply amazing.
@iowncloud double hurricane.

[quote=MapleFruitNinja]Wrong. Hurricane hits about 2 times harder than Siege. Also, bowman get reinforce for that
Hurricane > Siege
Lazer > anything a bowman could possibly do to mob.[/quote]
Since when does Hurricane hit 24 times a second? Siege > Hurricane
[quote=supersquirtle]in terms of mobbing, definitely mechanic. Amp + laser + distortion is a dominating mobbing attack. im not too sure on 1v1, though[/quote]
tank + siege mode >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> hurricane
@Singaporean : Wow! Thanks for the reply, never knew they were great. All I got from my alliance was hate towards them. x.x
@supersquirtle : Oh thanks, not really worried of 1v1. I didn't know laser was that great.
@PureWhiteSky : A fellow Marksman I see ^^. I'll take your word on that then!
Thank you all for the replies, I'm already excited to start my Mechanic... after my Corsair of course.
dude, go mech. its really fun
in terms of mobbing, definitely mechanic. Amp + laser + distortion is a dominating mobbing attack. im not too sure on 1v1, though
mechanic is pretty amazing and get some neat hypers. Barely see any mechs nowadays too so it would be nice to try one extensively.
