Mercedes

Rate Mercedes on mobbing like Lhc/sh

I like to know how good is Merc on mobbing because I'm getting one for the character card bonus

My last character is a captain/corsair and it's a pain to mob So I hope that merc isn't as bad as sair

PS: Msea ELE is slower and is bugged that's why it's hard to mob

LHC : 5/10
SH/ HoH : 1/Infinity

Looking at the skills themselves, Leap Tornado is probably the only decent looking one.
But Mercedes' insane speed and mobility make it rather easy, especially if the map has plenty of ropes.

I'd give it a solid 7/10, not counting Luminous.

EDIT: Oh, LHC and SH. You'll be seeing tons of numbers, but not much else. You can at least feign being strong, unless you actually decide to pump a couple billion into your Mercedes.

Not that great, but better than *cough* NL's mobbing.

I've actually always wondered if it was possible to reduce the cool down times of Spikes Royale and Wrath of Enlil to the point where you can alternate between them and make them spammable...

I'll look into this later

1st, 2nd, and 3rd job are great. 1st job breezes by just because it's 1st job and Mercs are fast, 2nd job Piercing Storm is a nifty attack (Parting Shot is hilariously bad, don't even bother), and in 3rd job you have Stunning Strikes, Leap Tornado, and Aerial Barrage, which are are all spiffy.

As for 4th job...

Rolling Moonsault gives you i-frames, which is pretty nice on Crocky platforms where getting knocked down is annoying. However, Rolling Moonsault damage is [i]bad[/i] for a 4th job attack, and it requires Rising Rush which makes mobbing pretty clunky unless you rush everything to one side.

Spikes Royale is only really used for the defense reduction and for clearing out a lot of weak things in one hit (like HT and Zak summons).

Lightning Edge is a joke. It only does 1,260% every 5 seconds at absolute best (which is more like 7 or 8 seconds due to server lag). Plus it's slow. And it maxes at 30 so it actually has an even higher cooldown most of the time.

So I say a good 7.5/10 prior to 4th job, then 4/10.
