The argument that "Oh you only have one ability to use you are so unskillful" is absurd.

It's like telling someone who can only eat beans (they would die if they ate anything else): "Just eat chocolate for ONCE omgzzz!!!"

I think the OP and everyone else in here misses the point about BH criticism entirely.

Firstly, the fact that you DPS is reliant on Tracer Missile spam is a bad thing and in no way a vindication of the class mechanics. On ALL other classes there is a "default" ability clearly designed to bridge the gap that auto-attack fills in other MMOs. With BHs/Troopers is is Tracer Missile/Grav Round. The problem isn't that this is the way those classes work. It's the comparably high amount of TM/GR casts Vs other "default" attacks and the comparably high amount of damage those attacks do Vs other classes "default" attacks, as well as the overall survivability BHs and Troopers have in general.

That's it. Everyone understand how Tracer Missile works and WHY Tracer Missile works that way.

Again, no one is saying that the individual player is unskilled, however the amount of skill required by a player to pull off high damage rotations on a BH/Trooper is considerably lower than any of the other classes.

You could be the best player in the world. Average players will probably be pulling comparable numbers to you on their BHs, however.

Frankly, I'll stop reading this post now.

You'll eternally rage at Tracer Missile, not even knowing why.

OUR ENTIRE SKILL BUILD IS BUILT AROUND IT.

You want us NOT to use our core skill?

Try running without legs, eating without a mouth. Try it, I dare you.

I don't enjoy spamming Grav Round. It gets REALLY ANNOYING.
Yes, I do want BW to put something in place of it. But it will take a while to do, and they obviously don't see the problem.
If you guys are hating on Grav/Tracer because you're getting killed by it, please QQ in an insane asylum. It turns Commandos/Mercs into human turrets. You can use all the CT grenades and aoe's you want, while we are helpless.

Thank you! As a Battlemaster on Shien and a Merc i find this QQ over it so annoying. All because you die in 3 tracermissles doesnt mean we only spam it. In fact after 3 Tracer missile and the full debuff he becomes worthless compared to other skills.


Don't hear us qqing oh god hes spamming me with lightning. Or oh god hes spamming me with slashes! Its what we do, and if u let us actually get all 3 tracer missile off for the 20% debuff and you cant interrupt us, you're the idiot who can't use his skills.


Any true merc will tell you we don't spam tracer missles, 3 of them and you're armor is gone. Then unload, railshot, HSM, power shot, and one more tracer missile to keep the debuff up.

Thank you. Glad to know im not the only one getting tired of ppl calling me a spammer.

No, they destroy any merc who only uses it. And they deserve it for spamming

people need to stop generalizing the newbie mercs/commandos with the ones who actually use the term "arsenal"
