What is the best class to chose in TiTS

[Duke Atlantis XV]

I'm looking on which of the three is the best in TiTS:
Mercenary
Smuggler
Tech Specialist
Opinions of which class you see is the best is tolerated.
And with that:Let's get the debating groove on!

 

[null_blank]

I'm partial to Bladerunner myself. (Are we still teasing him?)

Just kidding, Shield Tech (Melee or Ranged), or Ranged Merc. I love the idea of the smuggler, but requires too much set up to do big damage.

 

[criticAlls]

I've tried Smuggler, however it just couldn't beat Merc for me. Of course, I'm a dirty min-maxer, I make darn sure to get all of my stats to absolute max every level so handling heavy weapons with the speed and agility of an olympic sprinter is kinda my thing. I love the chaingun and the perks the Merc gets really let you light people up with it thanks to the Chaingun's ability to ignore the accuracy penalty on all shots made after the first.

I can't really say anything when it comes to Tech 'cause I haven't given it a fair shake. But nothin' beats Chaingun Merc for me, bebe!

You can report a post by clicking the ! Report button on the post. You can ignore someone by clicking their name and in the little box that pops up going to the right a bit under and to the left of the white X in the top right corner and clicking "ignore."

Thank you.

 

[criticAlls]

Thank you.

NP, you can also thank people without having to make a post doing so, for instance to keep on topic in a thread, by simply hitting that thumbs up like button next to the "quote" button in the lower right-side of a post.

I will swear up and down that the Ranged Merc is the way to go. Arm them with the Stormbull Shotgun, get the Rapid Fire, Take Cover and Second Shot perks and just watch everything crumple.

Ranged Merc, absolute beast.

 

[Duke Atlantis XV]

Potassium,thanks

Samurian Chaingun or Aegis Light Machine Gun. Rather go for accuracy then crits. And with Concentrated fire... dat damage.

If you never want to die, Shield Tech is good if you know what you're doing. Nothing like seeing a Milodan crit you and only do 10 shield damage.

I'm tellin' ya. With the Chaingun that flurry bonus plus that bonus hit rate.. You just tear things apart as a ranged merc. It's how I pretty much pwned the frostwyrm. I did some testing a while ago and can say with certainty that with the decreasing accuracy for every shot after the first on the Stormbull you just don't get the same damage you do as a multi-shot Chaingun, assuming, of course, you have the stats or statue to handle said Chaingun. 's a big boy's toy, after all.

If you want an easy time, Ranged Mercenary. They hit very fast and very hard, and they can take a beating, and have Second Wind to regen health.

I much prefer a Melee Tech. Mostly because I like melee combat and tech, but they can be considerably tough and strong.

I tested Smuggler and, while they're cool if you're into that, they essentially only do equivalent damage if you blind/stun enemies successfully, which is sometimes impossible. Pretty massive Evasion is nice. I would say that Ranged has more damage potential, and the Hirudo Devourer is great with Smugs in my opinion, but I like melee a lot.

 

[null_blank]

So has anyone tried Shekka's Catsuit on a Smuggler yet?

 

[Savin]

Drone Tech is the only class that matters.

 

[sumgai]

Someone really likes Tam-wolf...

 

[Duke Atlantis XV]

See,people are getting in the groove.Now,I'm not sure which is the best.Mercenary and Tech for me personally are completely tied.Both are strong in their own right but which is the better one?(Smuggler is not much for me.But i think the name should be SMUGgler.)

Mercs get to blow up a door with a tank!

How do you get the tank?

 

[ScarletteKnight]

Ranged Mercs are more powerful, but I always have been and always will be a Techie.

How do you get the tank?

It's part of a side quest, you don't get a tank but you can "borrow" one for a second.

Okay,two questions
1)What side quest
2)SHOULD I GO WITH MERC OR TECH?(Sorry for the all caps.This shows me getting angry for both are good option,but which one is the better one.)

 

[Raindrops]

screw dronetech, why would you want to waste the Accesory slot on a drone anyway when you can be immune to blindness or get a jetpack

 

[Duke Atlantis XV]

I would be surprised if someone who is really well known(like a creator or whatnot),comments on this thread.

KaraQuest2, on a pirate base.

Again, if you want to make combat easier, which is far from necessary, the Mercenary is the best option.

 

[Duke Atlantis XV]

And on a completely unrelated note to this subject,
Poison,The Queen of the Deep has 0 resistance to poison.So use weapons that have the poison effect against her.

I'm going to have to say merc, if you go ranged make sure you take carpet grenades over detonation charge the ranged merc otherwise will have no AoE attacks, and if you choose melee merc take detonation charge over carpet grenades since the melee merc will naturally AoE when they pick up cleave.
