Forum:Mordecai Fails

I'm wondering how much people are going to try and flame me about my opinion. Mordecai has a treasure trove worth of skills (shut up, I know they all have 22 skills) unfortunately, half or more are worthless. If you're going bloodwing specced, put your other SP into gunslinger, don't waste points on Sniper (except maybe focus/killer).

The point of Bloodwing is to get at targets that either move around a lot *hard targets like Corpse Eater stragglers.* Or targets that are being belligerent and won't move out from behind cover. Or if you're getting swarmed he's nice to have in as an extra hit.

If you're going with a sniper spec then for the love of god the only points you should put into the Rogue tree is Swift strike *might as well get SOME use outta the worthless bastard* and then into Quick hands for faster rifle reloads.

Worthless skills in my opinion *unless you wanna be one of those off the wall non-sniping sniper classes* are hair trigger (after level 10 and your first good rifle they're worthless, even the best magnum pales in comparison to moderate sniper rifles.) You've also got the semi-automatic 6-12 round magazine Combat rifles. Great accuracy, not too bad in the damage department, they look cool (always a bonus, in fact, that's about the only thing that MAGNUMS can claim is looks), and you can get some seriously wicked firepower in them (support machineguns, and pounders are always a great asset for an overrun sniper). Honestly, I don't understand what people's fascination with anything outside of sniping is when you're Mordecai. Granted, you almost HAVE to have a shotgun/machinegun with a 100+ round magazine (unless you back peddle snipe) for Jakob's Cove.

To make my point that pistols blow whale gonads. With a level 30 Skullmasher I do just over 15,000dmg critical against The Destroyer. The best magnum I could find (with about 50pts base damage higher than my SM) did just under 1100 per critical.

On to my next point. Those skills that depend on you killing someone before they come into effect are worthless. That's right KILLER, RANSACK, RELENTLESS, RIOTOUS REMEDY..... all wortless. If you're a sniper. Now if you're playing Mordecai like some run and gun fool from Modern Warfare 2 and you're running around like a jackass with a machine gun trying to mow people down.... then first you need to delete your Mordecai, because you're hurting my head. Second, you need to go play Brick, or even Roland... that's their job, even Lillith is more of a run and gun than Mordecai is at later levels. If you read the bio about Mordecai it even says he's a sniper. It doesn't say he's a sniper that has anger issues over not being picked for the run&gun retard squad. He's a sniper. Get it through your skulls that a sniper is a sniper is a sniper. Never a SAW operator. ''' If you can't get headshots 90% of the time, or you can't pick up your stragglers with your  next shot then you need to play a  different character. ''' Gebraheel 18:28, December 15, 2009 (UTC)
