Sometimes try Notorious set gear. I use it for pvp because I still dont have full Apex Predator and every game end in TOP 3 DPS. You can spam tracer missiles for 4 different targets and debuff them all for easy kills to your team. Also instantly lighten up you Rail shot all the time.
@@sixactions2554 Apex is stronger, but concenttrated fire is not. Only if you fight long time 1v1 and your enemies are stupid. It does not happen in WZ a lot . Notorious set is stronger if you have to switch targets all the time. If you go with Concentrated fire and enemy team know what they do, you will never be able to finish Tracer Missile loading (always interrupted).
@@zethylon7707 I've always had pretty good success with both CF and AP sets. I've not tried Notorious set but would be willing to give it a try. I good tactic to ensure that you can cast Tracer Missile more consistently is to root melees with Missile Blast and immediately cast Tracer Missile.
@@sixactions2554 I know (I have more than 1 000 hours on all Merc specs in PvP). But Tracer Missile can be interrupted in many ways even with range skills (Interrupt, Low Slash, Soft stun). Even if you root, they can stop you cast that. And good player will never let you finish that, because they know your combos.
Apex predator will never be better than Concentrated fire in pvp. It's a good set in pve because it offers a better heat managment and buff your main filler. But in pvp you're not attacking continuously (unless you're freecast for 10min straight) so heat is rarely an issue if you know how manage it. Also you're not spamming tracer missile like you do in pve. In pvp you have to kite, offheal, using dcd's, interrupt, stun, bump...etc so much things that don't allow you to spam tracer missile which make AP less effective than CF for dps (having an autocrit rail shot also add a nice burst which makes CF better at applying pressure on target). The Notorious set can be useful if you want to have instant rapid scan while moving but that's all in my opinion. Power surge should be use with concussion missile or rapid scan, using it with tracer missile is a bit overkill and having a 2nd stack on a 1min ability it's not enough to make me take Notorious over CF. If you have issues with being interrupted/cced/stuned to often in pvp it's probably because you have a bad positioning. As a range class you should always take advantage of your 30m range against melee classes and hide from range classes you're not hitting preventing them to cc or interrupt you. Also play with the "power shield" utility (if it's not already the case) which increases all healing received by 20%, and makes you immune to interrupts for the duration of your energy shield.

Nice Video, keep up the great work!
Thank you so much!
What helmet is that you have. It reminds me of the helm Leia wore in her bounty hunter scene.
Hey there! You totally saved that match, it was a fun one. GG :D
Hey brother. Thanks for watching and well played.

It is a pretty interesting set. I've always wanted to try something with it but it is significantly weaker than Concentrated Fire and Apex Predator.
