This is for people talking smack on "missle spammers"

Didn't you QQ in one of your threads that tracer missile needs buffs?

Try playing a Sentinel.

Heh...if people like easymode gameplay let them have it.

My only problem is when the missle spammer somehow does more damage than I do dancing and weaving and going through far more complex and dynamic attack sequences.

As long as it's relatively balanced I'm fine with people being able to choose a 1 key class.

First..wall of text needs a nerf.

Second..i have a BH and it is easy mode compared to my Marauder. I never play my BH cuz i find it BORING.

I'll use my own commando tooltips to show you what I'm talking about.

Demo round does more damage for each stack of grav round on the target. Once you have 5 stacks, or use it 3 times, it'll always do 25% more dmg till it wears off which is 15 seconds, so you every 15 seconds you use it once after all stacks are applied.

Grav round does 1361-1411 dmg
Charged bolts does 1342-1686 dmg.

The talent that gives you a 10% damage reduction when using grav round 5 times also works with charged bolts.

The talent that gives you a 30% chance to reset the cd of full auto and make it do 25% more dmg works with grav round and charged bolts.


The only thing it doesn't proc is the increased HIB damage. HIB does 1209-1499 dmg. 25% more dmg would make it do 1511-1873. Or in other words, an extra 302-374 damage after using grav round 5 times. Charged bolts has a high damage range of an extra 270 damage. 5 of those is 1350.

Grav round does get affected by armor as does charged bolts. However the way armor piercing ammo works is instead of bypassing 35% armor, it actually bypasses 35% damage reduction. So if you fight a target with less than 35% dmg reduction, charged bolts will not do reduced damage, which is the same as grav round.

The only time grav round is better than charged bolts is when you fight a tank type char that can block or evade. Grav round has the bonus of not being able to be evaded or shielded which is why it's better to use that on tanks. But on everyone else, or people that don't block or have a high evasion chance, charged bolts is the superior option.

Damn bro, you spam that wall of text like you do OMGTRASER MISSEL!!1!1!!!

Why is it that every time one of you single button mashing monkeys come on here and defend your single-button, low/no skill class, you rarely capitalize/punctuate/apply paragraphs appropriately?

Furthermore, I usually let you guys fill the bar on OMGTRASER MISSEL!!!11!1!!1!! before I interrupt you (No, I don't play sorc, I play a guardian), because it looks like you guys are trying to squeeze out a gigantic turd.

To be honest my opinion on this is that sure you might get more dps by clicking more than 1 button as a tracer-dude, but you can achieve good amounts of dps just by spamming tracer missiles, that is why everyone complains.

TL;DR To achieve optimal damage you will need to click more than 1 button, but clicking one button will give fine dps.

i love how all mercs are lumped together.

As a hybrid merc i have to use a myriad of different abilities. im usually 50% heal 50% dps.

90% of my dps attacks are going to be tracers. Why would i possibly use anything else ? REALLY I DIDNT KNOW TRACER ROUND HEALED FOR 150 K.

First off. My main is a lvl 50 Battlemaster Marauder. Your point? I find my Bh a lot more fun to play.

Loosely translated, "I sniped other players' kills while they were distracted and used that to inflate my ego to the point that I felt the need to post about my greatness."

Wow, did you really just say that battlemaster BH is the hardest class to play behind sniper. You truly are clueless aren't you.
