cashogy_reborn Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 i posted on another thread that what i think they should do is remove the channel from gr and put it in a 1.5sec cd so its instant and has 1.5 or 2 sec cd.that would make as a million times more mobile and its almost the same as before just we are no turrets anymore. instant cast tracer missle/grav round has been suggested in the past. it was met with a lot of QQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluntron Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 Come on now, blunttron, that's not constructive! We gotta support the Developers so they'll throw us a bone! Actually now that I think about it, they should just let mercenaries become powertechs and vice versa. We already have a skill respec thing, why not let us change classes! That way we have 6 trees to go through and we don't have the suffer the same class story over and over again. So instead of having 8 classes you want to reduce it to 4? Thats just a horrible idea And it is the same class story. Nothing changes bout it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoTomorrow Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 instant cast tracer missle/grav round has been suggested in the past. it was met with a lot of QQ As a sniper i am against tracer missle being instacast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xxIncubixx Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 As a sniper i am against tracer missle being instacast. why? commando doesnt have anything near the lolcover mechanic... cast times on sniper are fine because u cant be interrupted and u have CC immunity on a button if you need to resist incoming crap. commando has 0 of theses tools and bioware still made it with cast times, retarded to say the least.

Bluntron Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 (edited) ^this okay, or ^this -No, AC respecs would destory the game more. If Tracer had a CD. It would allow you to keep your heat low because youd be forced to fill that 1.5 secs with rapid fire or possibly MB/ER Edited January 26, 2013 by Bluntron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PerinnAybara Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 They could also increase the crit chance of heatseekers for each stack of tracer debuff or tracer lock. Maybe make it a 10% increase, so 50% total. Would be nice if our heavy hitter was a consistent heavy hitter like smash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because no spammable main attack should be instant cast. It would make commando dominate the other ranged classes.

DariusCalera Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 Because no spammable main attack should be instant cast. It would make commando dominate the other ranged classes. Sage/Sorc, probably. But a sniper/gunslinger would still be superior to a commando at ranged combat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MelodicSixNine Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 (edited) Because no spammable main attack should be instant cast. It would make commando dominate the other ranged classes. I have abandoned my mercenary LONG ago, but I believe that change would make this class(or at least spec) much more appealing. Arsenal can bring out the damage, but I hate the fact that you are forced to stay in one place without cover mechanic. Pyro tree is much more mobile and better pvp spec overall, however it feels like you're poking a bear with a stick and other classes do much better job of being support fire than pyro. Bodyguard - well I didn't play it that much, but I played many times against it and it's laughable easy to shut down if their shield is down on cd.

Hilarious(dies a little on the inside) based on some recent dev posts, id say its a solid bet that 1.7 goes to the PTS within a week or two. so we will know if they have decided to fix us soon hopefully Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Count_Midnite Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 God I love this thread. Full of troll bumps and people fighting about the worst class in PVP, but really Godmode in PVE.

PerinnAybara Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 ONe thing that would really help us if they got rid of stupid pushback. The way casts are, there shouldn't be any pushback on our abilities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PerinnAybara Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 Why not? All we would get rid of grinding up a powertech and a mercenary. At least Mercenaries can stop whining about being neglected. More flexibility, and another thing that bioware could profit on. I mean seriously, just cause you leveled up everything under the sun, doesn't mean we all have your opinion. It would still be 8 fucntional classes, with 3 skill trees. Just mercs and vangaurds coudl swap between each other. Sheesh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe they could sell the Tracer Missile insta-cast as an unlock for 350 coins? (Crap, I shouldn't be giving them that idea...Meh, who am I kidding, they've probably already discussed this.)
