Hui having to use an endureg potion on inc is gonna be a big issue.
If you want to run speed 6 well you either run a paladin or find 8 nerds willing to blow tons of endupots ^^
It's not like one has to perma sprint.

well the last months on uth, no serious grp ran with a paladin, everyone used endu pots and it was fine

Alchemists will be happy about those nerds!

The only advantage armsmen have is an easier to use (no manuel weapon swap) and easier to land (anytime) snare. Mercs are at least on par in all other categories.

Mercs are superior to Arms in 1.69 imo because the anytime polearm snare is nerfed in that patch (as far as i remember) and Mercs get slam + (more importantly) Prevent Flight.

PF is super OP. Unbreakable 50%ish snare that procs pretty much all the time.

arms= polearm with 5.x
merc = 2 weapons swinging at 2.x

you're not smart at all

Arms/hero/warrior do not get prevent flight unless it is a custom change on uthgard. They never had it on live. They get Trip which is a 15min recast PBAE snare that is not affected by det, but it's nowhere near as good as of.

Only zerks mercs and bms get pf.

And while soldiers barricade is good, it's on a 30 minute recast while PF is a passive that is always up.

I'm sorry
just if arms had pf it wouldn't be half as good as on dual wielders.

Well they do and it is good considering an armsman is probably going to be your peeler and he can swing a 1hand too. Doesn't have to peel with 2hand. It could be argue'd though that mercs make better peel tanks as well.

mercs are better peelers if you want to drop the best RA against melee grps and suck at blocking.
Peeling with 1h as an arms, just no - dropping 14 Points into PF when you should go for mastery of arms 5 instead, just no again.
