In all honesty LOS and interrupts work fine for the tracer missle scrubs, mostly. They will still catch you in the open or out of LOS range a good amount because you actually have to do things besides hump pillars and be in interrupt range of them to win WZ's.


Against any decent non-idiot playing a tracer/grav round spammer? They have to do 1 thing to make that derp mode succeed. Choose a proper target. Period. There will always be targets out in the open because you have to do alot of things out in the open to win a WZ.


Also, Woe betide you if people on the other team are somewhat intelligent and use their kb's or grapple type abilities to chunk you out from behind LOS. Woe betide you as well if the spammer isn't just passably decent but actually knows how to play and DFA's you when you LOS them or heals themselves when you LOS them. Chances are YOU cannot heal yourself and in the words of Will Farrel "You'll lose that battle, you'll lose that battle 9 times out of 10.".
I have faith in Bioware and Mythic to deliver a good game. I have more faith in myself to decide in an unbiased fashion whether or not it is good. Neither has any impact on the fact that I will kill you.

A geared 50 beating none 50's, undergeared 50's and scrubs, shocking...

I'd be more surprised if he didn't beat them, complain when spamming tracer missile actually works against non *******.

Im so sick of this topic. The class was made to spam Grav round/Tracer missle. Get over it. If you spec in this tree and don't spam 5 Grav Rounds then you aren't making the most of your class. Learn the class and then spend time L2P. http://www.torhead.com/skill-calc#800ZMfkrRrdRkfz.1 5 Grav Rounds grant 10% less damage received, 20% more armor penetration, next demolition round does 25% more damage, next high impact bolt does 30% more damage, next full auto has 30% chance to do 25% more damage, so this is how bioware intended the class to be played. so yes for my main rotation I will use 5 Grav Rounds, Pop my Relic, Demolition Round, High Impact Bolt, Full Auto, Pop my med pac, Rinse and repeat as needed. If my Grav Round gets interrupted I usually throw in a heal before continuing my 5 Grav rounds. I also will unload all my aoe if their is a group of imps together. But for the love of god stop whining about me playing my class the way bioware intended.

That doesn't stop it from being bad design where even skilless scrubs can get a fair amount of kills even though many other classes would do jack diddly all if played with a similar amount of skill.

Not asking for complete equality here, just the lack of an easy mode. At least sorc's take some modicum of skill to do really well at unless stacked (which they usually are lol).

weather its good design or not, it's how bioware made the class. So it's how I play the class. Just so sick of hearing people cry about how we are all bads cause we play are characters to get the most out of them. Seriously it isn't hard to stop through LOS & Interrupts. Their is no need to nerf Grav Round as it isnt even my best attack. And I highly doubt they are going to completely re-do the tree to make Grav Round not used as much. It benefits me for spamming it to stack the bonuses. When choosing this class in early access I didn't know that Grav Round would work like that. It be like telling sorcerer's not to use their bubble or to use their dots and forced lightning.
