Nerf tracer missle now

Its also entirely possible to kill people with just rapid shots but that doesn't make it overpowered.

Whats wrong with tracer?

1) 1200-1500 damage is too high?

2) It casts too fast?

3) Its spammable

Should it be less damage, cast slower, and have a cooldown so that we have no attacks to use for 5-10 seconds at a time?

Because clearly every class has a ranged interrupt, and anybody being attacked by Tracer Missile/Grav Round in any situation that has ever existed, ever, should make it their top priority to drop whatever they're doing and go out of their way to close the distance and interrupt Tracer Missile/Grav Round.

You'll get yours, and it will be a glorious day whenever that happens.

I think some people feel it should be all these things, turn us into pillow lobbing target dummies that they can wtfpwn and make themselves feel better about their skill level.

Hey guys, this class attacked me while I was doing some else and continued to do damage to me while I did nothing about it, and for some reason I died. NERF!

I find this amusing. It is really sad when people say that only bad players are spamming this ability but worry that it might be nerfed as clearly they must be using it a lot themselves or else they wouldn't really be worrying about it.

The problem is that while it may not take a lot of skill to LoS or interrupt (of course my interrupt is on a much longer cd than the lock out but nevermind that) it takes less skill to pick a high point and spam 1 button. There in lies the problem. A 1 button spec should not be as effective as it currently is. Whether or not it can be interrupted and locked out 30% of the time it is still too effective for 1 button spec.

I am not saying the damage should be nerfed I just feel like the spec is bad and too effective for 1 button gameplay. Tracer/grav round spec needs to be changed up a bit. As it is it is a really bad, turret, 1 ability spam spec. Its boring to play (unless you like seeing big numbers for little work) it takes no imagination or thought to play it halfway decently.

Increase the cast time to 2.5 seconds and give one of their other abilities a chance to make it instant so they at least have to rotate it. That or change the buffs/debuffs from talents to work off other abilities. Force some kind of variance in skill usage and rotation to be effective. Compare tracer/grav round effectiveness to what it takes to be equally effective as a mara/senti. Those guys balance a hell of a lot of buttons and cooldowns to be good and I can tell the difference on my Vanguard between a good Mara and a bad one. I find it much harder to tell any difference between 1 spamming merc and the next.

You obviously haven't read much of these whine posts. We keep telling all you uneducated sheeple that the whole arsenal line is built around TM as the primer and Unload/HSM as a finisher. So if TM is adjusted it throws EVERYTHING ELSE out of whack and would require major skill reworking. You're just pissed that some idiot can nuke you down with 2 buttons in a minimum of 5.6 seconds (RS is an instant) without you bothering to do anything about it. The spec can be boring if you only hit 1 button. Like I've said before and even posted up my generic rotation that a decent merc will use 5-6 abilities if not more on a target.
