Mining is my main profession and I have high skill in mindforce and mindforce hunting setup, with a bunch of longblades skills that also boost hp, how screwed am I?

 

[mastermesh]

Maybe next year they will allow special mining in the instances. Dig up santas coal, gingerbread seeds, candy cane sprouts that will allow u to grow candy gardens on plots , etc. Could do likewise for every holliday....

Your base dps is not 104.. 8 dps per shot less.. So in cat.8 it's not the best weapon.. In cat.7 it's almost the best dps weapon.. (LC400 is at exactly 98 dps) but people in cat.7 are not level 100, so the dps of mod merc is not that high in reality.
IN EFFECT, this merry mayhem, if they keep it like this for years to come, might really screw the price of mod mercs.

in cat 8 these unl. weapons outperform the mod merc (they need to be tier 10 ofc.):

rip m6600 modified: 101
isis HL18, sga : 100.83
DOA foeripper: 99,31 dps
CDF XTLC 800 : 101.2 dps
DOA strikehammer improved: 102,26
genesis rainbow sword: 102.36 (needs close or same dps ranged backup)
genesis prism of destruction:102.85 (needs close or same dps ranged backup)
skildek exterminator: 103.23
+ a few more that I forgot, because entropiawiki is down.

Note: A tier 10 Mod merc is still one hell of beast of a weapon.

Agreed. Dmg/efficiency make it a great regular grind/event weapon, for someone. It does me no good with the lag issue. Hopefully someone else can make use of it. Quite the over powered lowbie mob weapon for me right now.

* minor detail...(for us noobs) bring 250-500usd in ammo otherwise dont bother.

 

[Immortal]

You need Mod resto for higher cats as well

I would love to se a videoclip how people manage to do the instances in 20 - 30min.
My second run I took some pills and used my best gear. the weapon was just 0.3dps below maximum. And I have enhancer on it. I still only manage to better my time with 10 min for a total of..57min.

what kind of gear do the top 5 in Tier1 instance use?

Great post, Spawn, and not as ridiculous as it might seem.

When news of this year's Mayhem dropped, I thought it might actually be eventful for me to participate, even though I've either abstained or given up after an instance or two, in nearly every other Mayhem event, due to things being woefully inefficient and generally being a major PED-sink for me.

I thought we'd be able to choose a level suitable for our particular DPS. I'm comfortable shooting mobs that don't decay my armor too much before I kill them...it's one of the few ways I avoid too much loss.

-I wasn't able to choose the DPS level appropriate for my weapons, because my professional standing was too high.

-I wasn't able to choose the next level up because my health was too high.

-I was able to choose the next level above THAT, and found myself with mobs that reached me with still 3/4 of their health remaining, incurring a sh!tload of armor decay and "idiot tanking" hunting style, which is not my preferred style.

Needless to say, I exited the instance rather quickly and went back to hunting with MUCH smaller losses.

If MA wants to suck my losses only to provide to the rare few players who can excel in these events...I won't be part of that shell-game.
