Burst on Merc Field Gun

(1/3) > >>

Ayetach:
Is that a thing?

I was in a recent match with Spud Nick and Inkjet and there was some use of that ammo type on this gun. I'm not sure if the burst can justify the AoE or not, its quite small if I recall. Does this increase the changes of disabling components considerably?

DJ Logicalia:
DJ Tipz n Trix (may he Dota 2 in peace) swears by Bust Merc, and I have to say, it does feel easier to hit things. I don't know if it actually works or if it's just mental, but it doesn't seem to do any harm

Ayetach:
Looking at llamatron and other stats, there doesn't seem to be any evidence support its increase of AoE or enough to justify its use. I'm just curious if other players would beg to differ on this.

ZnC:
I used to do it a lot, but I feel Charged is superior overall. The main reason is because even with Burst, the AoE is not big enough to hit more than 1 component.

With Charged, Armor damage per clip: 345 > 449 - very significant (especially if you miss the component).

Also, by increasing the base damage you are also increasing the damage of the AoE.

Ayetach:
Yes ofc, I can agree with you on that ZanC, which was why I was puzzled by the use of it. I thought it was interesting but there's very little to back it up in terms of practical use.
