As a MA myself, I think it's pretty dumb to hear people saying MA's are easily outdamaged...People look at a MA, watch it hit 2x, and say "hmm, ok, weak damage" just because soldiers and/or enforcers and crit 3x in an opening battle, that makes little difference though, a soldier can burst/fa/fs and afterwards start doing crappy damage, with large recharge times, MA's have a 1s attack/recharge time, and we have an average damage, believe it or not MA's outdamage enforcers/soldiers if tuned right.
