Lol that's gotta be the silliest thing I've eve heard.
So your saying, that without the one thing that defines your profession, soldiers are pretty much in the same boat as engies?
Lol first of all, I don't think you can ever compare to the gimpiness of an engie, if you start comparing your profession to the engie class, then theres gotta be something gimpy with how you play a soldier. Did you max adventuring or something?
Second, MK is way to uber. It's up for 2 minutes, and all you gotta do is hide for 30 seconds and you can re-cast it again. Hm let's see..
Total Mirror shield MK X
"... all damage away from the soldier."
I think that's pretty damn uber if you ask me.
And let's see you also can do rad damage.. so not only do you not get touched for 2 mins you can do rad damage too. And you get a healing nano!
So while your shooting at some poor sap trying to shoot you back, but getting his hits deflected, your burning them with rad damage. And if you do get hit, you just heal yourself.
Don't tell me you get all that and still can't win without an MK shield. Which is precisely the reason why it needs to be nerfed. Raise reqs higher or make the nano shut down longer.[/B]
