That's not the point. Get that through you're head.

I don't care how many buttons you COULD use.

The point is that it is perfectly plausible for a person using 1 button to, seemingly, put out as much DPS as some builds good rotations. There are reasons we don't have combat logs. I'm guessing this is one of them.

It's a broken skill. You keep defending it in the context as the entire rotation. Good for you. You use other skills.

That doesn't fix the fact that this one skill is broken.
And if you remember Sabs were using a game mechanic exploit that calulated crits that the devs had in the game. Sabs also had to use different bombs to get the exploited damage so it wasn't just sticky bomb. It's not a broken skill it work as intended get that thru your head.

Since they are, you know what that means don't you?
by that logic operative/scoundrels should have been a high population class but they weren't.

I had no idea that Guardians were easy mode, must be some other Star Wars game out there.

As for the Scoundrel nerf yes I was glad of it and still do well.

Unlike you I like my pvp to be balanced, fotm sheep rolling is dull and does not foster community.

How is there FOTM in the first month of the game?

BH and Sorcerers are popular because thats what people like when they watch SW movies. I never was interested in Agent because I didn't spend my SW fan days rooting for the Agents in all the movies.

People like Bounty Hunters' style, and shooting lighting as a Sith Lord.

All of these discussions are nearly useless without combat logs and training dummies. Crying for nerfs at this stage is laughable.

You guys should also think it otherway. What would an arsenal merc have if not a working tracer? One knockback, one stun and one mezz. Yeah that is all. What does a sorc have? Snare, stun, mezz, interrupt, knockback, force speed and a spammable barrier that reduces all damage taken to 0. On top of that they have high dmg and I know it because I have both a 50 lvl sorc and a 50 lvl merc.

GRAV ROUND GRAV ROUND GRAV ROUND GRAV ROUND GRAV ROUND GRAV ROUND GRAV ROUND GRAV ROUND

the other day i made it a point to chase that commando that all he did was spam grav round, and interrupt it as my cooldown allowed

doesnt matter, he can jsut stand there , wait four seconds, then he continued the GR spam, he didnt even bother trying to use an abilty in the meantime, when i see that player getting a 300k dmg medal, cliking just ONE abilty the entire game, something is wrong

This topic is full of people who are just plain ignorant or trolling. Tracer Missile does not do that much damage. The reason why it is spammed is that it procs several other abilities, buffs and debuffs.

TM applies the heat signature necessary for rail shot to be used.

It also increases the damage of heatseeker missle by a set % for each heat signature applied.

In addition each TM or powershot used gives a damage reduction buff to a Bounty Hunter.

Oh and lets not also forget it finishes the cooldown on unload and can increase unloads damage by 33%.

Tracer missile/ Grav Round is central to a lot of Bounty Hunter rotations hence the use of it. Other abilities do a lot more damage, are insta cast and not as noticeable as a BH looking like he's lit a fart on fire.

If you want to make a new excuse up every time you people are proven wrong on something, something is messed up.
youre QQing about TM, what more is there to read

you do realize that every class is good in pvp gear right? sounds like this is a gear and adrenal problem, not a class problem

Its month 2 for most of us and long enough for there to be a fotm.

These arguements are getting more and more repeated, feels like watching a world of roguecraft video with the mercs and sorcs being the rogue in denial.
