The class needs depth, period.

Yes, I play it and yes it bores me.

play something else then the stories not so great and the armor is akward why do you stay?

stricktly speaking arsenal (because thats what this is really about)

it has plenty of depth for a ranged dps nuker class (which granted isnt as much as other classes and minus the interupts i really wish there was a more viable ranged interupt)

you have attacks and resource managment

pvp fighting is diffrent than pve boss fighting and is diffrent than how to take out adds and that is a liitle diffrent then how you take out trash mobs

there is also positional awareness and knowing your stregneths and weakness along with how to run and survive which is hard for this class in my opinion

sure you can just spam tracer if you want but you will die alot and not really be as effective in a group as you could be
Just go riding right by me on the crest of the new wave

I specced my merc out of it because you end up being a 1 button class in both pvp and pve, which is boring. This is the only poor class design I've come across in TOR so far :/
CD? Srsly? Then what about heat signatures and heatseeker? And if you use only 1 button, well it's your problem, not class problem. Actually i didn't mean something like "MERCS ARE NOT OP, NERF SOMEONE ELSE PLOX", just nerf tracer damage to make rotation smthng like 3x tracer - heatseeker - unload - dart (if there more then 2 ppl)

It's not that tracer is OP. It's that they have zero incentive to use any of their other abilities. Watch the video again of the guy with only 1 button on his bar (tracer missile.)
That shouldn't work.

Yeah yeah gray level noobs, gear without exper or whatever. 5 stack of hs with heatseeker > tracer, Unload with Riddle, Barrage, Pinning Fire perks > tracer, Dart (if >2ppl exist) > tracer. Still feel no sense?

I don't know about you, but it's pretty fun to me. I kinda like owning though, maybe you don't.

Oh, I also use, you know, all of those other abilities we get to facilitate said ownage.

That was probably your problem right there.

Seriously, the only ability I have that I don't use regularly in PvP is power shot.

Not to be overly cliche, but most classes are fun when you learn to play (and even master) them.
