I dont even need TM to face roll trust me. I could take TM off my hot bar and still roll the QQers in this thread. And no matter what class I played it would be the same case. Half of you still use the arrow keys to move in pvp....trust me I see you... Like I said I don't stand still and don't like cast bars.. I'm Aresenal merc and could careless about TM and still shine. And it's not the class, it's the player. Merc is actually terrible 1v1 in this glitched game. But a good player beats a bad one no matter the class or abilities....

Heatseeking missiles is on a 1 min cooldown. 4) Our other high damage dealers (heatseeking missiles, rail shot and unload) all have cooldowns. HS missiles is 1 minute and the other 2 are 15 sec each. Once our tracer lock and heat signatures are stacked, we have to fire tracer missiles over and over to reproc Barrage, or as we wait for the 15 sec/1min cooldowns on our other abilities, throwing some rapid shots (low damage dealing compared to our other abilites) in there to manage our heat. You claim this is an "education thread" when you don't even know how your own abilities work. 5% per application of heat signature X 5 = 25% damage boost Heat Seeking Missiles has a 15 second CD This is why we want the class nerfed. People like OP try to "educate" us on why their class is not OP and then give false information because they can't even defend how derp-proof the class is.

Tracer missile needs a 6s CD. Force Lightning needs a 3s CD with the madness talent.

Ignorance is a bliss right? Sad, but true, as far as shields are concerned. It's great if you're going up against a heavy weapon based damage class. Otherwise, not so much, and by that I mean not at all since it bypasses the shield entirely.

Sorcs spam force lightning Assassins Spam Voltaic slash or Thrash Snipers spam snipe Snipers dont spam SNIPE because it sucks. use way too much energy, does little damage , and is all WEAPON DAMAGE. Tracer Missiles and Force Lightning is not WEAPON damage, Weapon damage is mitigated by everything. which makes the sniper "pure dps" ridiculous compared to "hybrid" classes that does elemental damage on almost everything. EDIT: OH wait i out dps a merc/sorc, he stops attacking heals himself not moving he outheals my dps which is completly ridiculous, now im out of energy 50% health , they are back to full health and start spamming missiles and force lightning again.

Not really. If you get your grav round (tracer missile) interrupted, you can still: Full auto (sucks for trooper though, bugged and does 66% dmg compared to unload) High impact bolt, assuming you have at least 1 stack on the guy Demolition round Charged shot Yeah we do awesome damage when people let us stand there and turret their face in. However gunnery specced commando's are not mobile at all, and don't have any slows beside a 3s effected applied by our knockback, which is on 30s CD untalented.

Explaining why you spam it doesn't exactly change the fact that you spam it - all the time - always.
