Guide
Super Armor WK spam.
I recommend you practice some duels.
Basically the gameplay loop is:
Rightclick to hold your shield up and dash to gain super armor.
During super armor all hits from the front counts as "shield up" which means almost 100% damage negation, making the class extremely hard to kill.
Charged Dash = Your regular right click, if you hold it down your shield will add up to 3 stacks.
Every stack empowers the follow up attack.
Javelin Thrust = Gap closer, with the kick follow up. Prioritize kicking enemy players into other players to stun both of them. If no players are nearby, kick them into the wall and follow up with a quick Jump + Heavy attack (makes a downward shieldslam and it will proc your wither).
Breaker Shield Bash = Very fast stagger attack, useful to apply Wither mark and interrupt enemy combos.
Being hit from the front while casting will negate 90% of the damage. Follow up with Shield up and dash.
Tips for fighting Mercenaries:
Mercenary usually have the talent that stuns you if your super armor collides, you can avoid this stun if you dash backwards or to the sides instead of into their super armor. (if you fail to avoid the super armor charge, your shield will absorb most of the damage if you have the stamina)
That way you avoid the collision and can follow up by releasing rightclick or dashing into the enemy to get the momentum back.
This takes practice and a proper understanding of the mercenary class.
