Tracer missile tracer missile tracer missile tracer missile tracer missile

Lightning Strike
Aimed Shot
Sniper Shot

All have 1.5 Second Cooldowns and all do the same damage as tracer missile, infact Lightning Strike does more. (same range as well!)

The only reason Tracer does considerably more is because there "Stance" allows tracer to ignore 35% of the target's armor.

+ another 20% if you stack up all heat signatures.


Whining about an ability because you don't understand it makes you look really stupid.


You know what would really be nice is if they fixed Aimed Shot and Sniper shot to also ignore armor.

Do you have any idea how bad you make yourself look with comments like this?

The problem with saying "just interrupt it" is that interrupts don't seem to hit half the time. Especially on a 1.5sec cast skill.

Between ability lag, server lag and warzone lag it can be rather difficult to interrupt. Even then let's say you manage to hit with the interrupt, that's a maximum of about 4.5-5 seconds of no Tracer Missile, in which they can either:

A) Knock you back a massive distance
B)Put up Reactive Shield and heal
C) Hit you with a plethora of other skills that take advantage of Tracer Missile/Grav Round's debuff.

In either case Tracer Missile/Grav Round spam continues afterwards. Also, in many group vs group scenarios interrupting them is just impossible or not a good idea since interrupts are melee range and a Mercenary/Commando is likely to sit further in the back. So you're pretty much SOL unless you've got Harpoon or Force Pull, in which case they still take forever to kill.

What BW should consider doing is nerfing melee because a 4m 50% AP is OP - a ranged 50% AP is fine though...melee just needs to l2p

I live in Norway and am playing on an NA server and I do not have issues landing interrupts with my Marauder. People need to react quicker. Or hotkey the interrupt to something they can hit faster, like a mouse button.

They need to remove the Energy damage of tracer missile and put Weapon Damage.

BH rotation.

This video reminded me...

*** is up with that BH PvP helmet? I play Republic, so I see that helm portrait on approximately 50% of the enemies I target, and it never fails to confuse and anger me.

Is it some kind of space bug?

He could have done the same thing with snipe as a sniper or a sorc using lightning strike. He's in full PvP gear, minus 2 piece PvE for the 2 piece bonus with a premade group against undergeared 50's that can't seem to do much more than zerg that powertech half the time.

Notice most of the hits being below 2k without the timed warzone buffs. Vs people with very little pvp gear by the looks of it.

Also note how they completely ignored him most of the time. All that video shows is a good premade carrying a BH being fail against a fail pug and still losing against that fail pug in the end.

I think there's a whole lot of mercs, myself included, who would love to have Tracer changed.

It's very poor design. If an arsenal merc doesn't use tracer, at least the first couple shots, he's hurting his dps by a large amount. Not just the armor debuff, but rail shot, heat-seeking missiles, and unload, all get extra boosts from tracer.

If, however, a merc is literally spamming tracer, then he's also hurting his dps by a decent amount. I'd guess around 20%.

I'd like tracer to be changed just because I'm sick of everything being so dependent on it.

Anyone else play marvel super heroes and the marvel vs capcom game franchise?

Mercenaries remind me of cyclops.

BEHOLD!!! OPTIC BLAST! OPTIC BLAST!

makes them extremely ANNOYING to fight against, and it makes you want to commit sepaku when they win.
