Yey lets nerf the coolest class in the Empire in to the ground.
Why stop with Tracer! Unload is unreasonable lets nerf that too!
Only thing wrong with tracer is the animation. Does it do a lot of DMG - O yes, does it make Merc unbalanced in any way - hell no!
Arsenal Mercs die like flies the moment a Melee DPS attacks us.
I dont have anything other than a truckload of DMG going for me, so if that gets nerfed we all go healers!
Even with the talents if you spam Tracer you will overheat so if you see a merc doing that he will be dead shortly!
I also look like im doing only tracer since unload looks like a rapid shot and with the occasional lag glitch im casting unload while still in the tracer animation and you could hear me cast rail shot but not see me! Only visual difference is heatseker and i tend to do that if he is almost out of range and i dont have time to channel anything or right next to me where it goes boom as soon as fired. i cast fusion when enemies are grouped with the no cast time skill so you dont see me doing that as well (its actually faster to cast than rail shot) and the occasional DfO just for fun.
so yeah i guess i do tracer only as well - if you look at me from the side!
