No, we can't. 25 heat isn't a 'low' heat cost. You can spam exactly 5 if you proc a crit to vent 8 heat before you have to vent.

No BH just spams tracer nonstop.

As many others have already stated, nobody is ever going to take you serious when you just make up data and exaggerate the **** out of things.

If you really wanted to make a legitimate argument you would come with real data, and a real knowledge of how to play the spec. If tracer/grav was overpowered (it's not) then you wouldn't need to exaggerate to try to make it seem that way.

I thought OP to be hilarious.

Quit "l2p, youre bad" crap. He ain't saying mercs are OP. It is tragic, and OP is right to some extent.

Think that you play a 321321321 micro management button marauder/sentinel against a merc/commando. It gets even funnier.

This just in: Stationary range DPS characters should not do DPS while stationary and players are at range in front of them.

Coming shortly:So you're wearing cloth and explode like a biscuit when I give you an uppercut, you must be nerfed!!!

I play both sides.

My trooper has MORE gear than the BH in question, and Grav rounds doesn't hit as hard. My trooper actually has 9% more extra damage on critical. Like most Troopers now, I've went assault specialist for PvP.

I like to experience things myself before making any sort of claim. I enjoy playing both Republic and Empire too, so. :P

All I read is that empire players have more expertise/mitigation on average than republic.

I already knew that.

You can get off way more than 5 Tracer missles. I get off 6 on my level 21 BH before he is maxed heat, assuming I am being lazy and that is all I am doing.

25-9=16.

Assuming you get any Terminal Velocity procs, you can easily get off 8 before filling up a heat bar. Hell, even 9.

Five missles is more than enough to drop me once my ability to passively mitigate damage is serverly diminished. The stats I currently have in PvP gear are:

-52% damage reduction
-12% defence chance
-37% shield chance
-42% absorption
-10.8% damage reduction from expertise

BH are fully capable of only using tracer missle. During stuns I put on them, interrupts and periods where they are attempting to get distance from me, they are disipating heat adding 1-2 more missles they can cast in their effective combat period. At the end of that period, i'm dead or they are.

There's no need to exaggerate here. There's no combat log with no real data. I also played BH in beta.

You can't tell me that in a voidstar game you don't constantly see clowns on the attacking team standing behind the sorcs mashing their tracer missle keybinds. I could make a stop-motion, Benny Hill style video from screen shots all day long it's that rediculous.

Operatives *and* Scoundrels were saying that. You know why? Because they're mirrors and the abilities do the same amount of damage.

Safe to say before 1.1.1, people who didn't get out of range once up from being knocked down by a Operative deserve to die aswell?

I have a Mercenary, and you are FORCED into pushing this one, single button, over and over. I disliked it so much i just scrapped it at level 50 and moved on. Something need be done, not only with this but with EXPERTISE! SCRAP EXPERTISE!
