Nerf tracer missle now

force leap/charge doesn't cause an actual lockout like the true interrupt skills and typically by the time you actually land on the target due to animation, the effect has ended unless you're either very close to begin with or have points invested to increase its duration by a second, which I haven't tried.

That would also cause Arsenal Mercs to litterally spam TM until the get fully buffed doing no one any good considering that the cries are because of the spam as it is.

Yes, but the BIG damage people see from tracer missile is only when there are existing stacks of the armor break already on their target. This would greatly diminish the dps output from tracer and likely cause the merc with a guaranteed 5-stack of increased damage to their other abilities to actually use them even on a target that doesn't have the armorbreak effect - simply because they'd need to deal real damage.

who said anything about a lockout? It's an interrupt...which...wait for it... interrupts the cast time on TM, forcing the BH to start the cast over. Oh, and it puts the BH in dps range, that's also a useful tidbit.

The real damage comes from Unload and Heatseeker missile, at least from the BHers that know how to play.

OH NO! You're going to have to restart your activation timer! (gasp) Seriously, though, all a merc has to do is the uppercut knockback + slow and that buys them enough time to get at least one tracer off on a melee. Charge is a gap-closer with very limited interrupt so you shouldn't consider it a disrupt. Also, about 90% of the time when you charge a target and finish animating, despite the fact that the target appears to be right next to you, you can't use any melee attacks as it will say out of range until your target "blinks" to another location just outside of melee.
