Bounty hunters are super easy to kill. The archetype isn't that great. Yes they have the ability to do tons of damage via death from above and Tracer missle nad trooper grav round spam.

Grav round/ tracer missile - easy to over come interrupt most BH/\troopers will still spam button not realizing they can't cast it. You kill them

Death from above/motor volley - simple rule if you see a targeting reticule from opposing faction don't stand in that ****! (Move out of the fire) its MMO 101. Also just interrupt it.

I will say that yes bounty hunters do seem to do a large amount of damage in warzones. This is true for two reasons that I have seen.

1. They have a large amount of armor penetration from an early level, and with a lack of pvp based defense (expertise) your armor is your only deterrent.

2. There are few healers in low level warzones. This coupled with the fact that most aoe heals come at 20 or later means that you will not be able to sustain healing on the multiple targets the merc tries to down.

It will even out at 50. I know I am barking up the wrong tree, but let the game evolve a bit. The merc prolly needs that arp for later level balance.

Bounty hunter PVP tactics

1) Hide on top of something or hide around a corner
2) 1 2 3 4 spam over and over and auto target perfectly
3) Steal melee units kills while they struggle to lockon to anything
4) Be useless to the team

60sec CD... channeled.

Run or interrupt, yeah classes get interrupts later in the game.

It also makes the BH channeling it a huge target that even knuckle draggers can easily spot a kneejerk CC.

If you think that single, 60sec CD AoE is just "nuts" you need to go down the AoE tree for IA/Smugler. But of course most haven't yet because "OMG I WANT2B LEET SNIPAR PEWPEW HEADSHOTSLOLOL!" Give it time... or a good youtube vid showcasing the spec in a WZ.

I had a 1on1 faceoff with one BH-Merc and beaten him to the pulp with my SI-Sorc.

As my Sorc would say "It was actually quite simple." - I wanna free beer each time she says that.

Well, sometimes, a class can be overpowered.

1. Uh 20% physical armor pen (after 5 stacking debuff attacks) can't match the fact that nobody has more than 15% Elemental/Internal defense right now which lets the casters and certain other specs do lots of burst. Against tanks it helps you keep up, but against light armor its not adding much because its % based.

2. Uh, there isn't any BH class or spec thats heavy on AoE... and def not at low levels. IA/Smug have the real ranged AoE damage.

If a BH is rocking you world, you are doing it wrong. Take away their competitive advantage (read: range). Use line of sight to your advantage. I have no problems with them. Now, the sorc is another matter...

Dev one: 'Oh! Quick guys, the kiddies aren't happy.. we must nerf Shammy's or their moms 'll stop paying us each month....'

Dev two: 'Yus, we must... oh and lets give them a Panda as a pet......??'

Dev one: 'Whoo, whooo... let's also.. make an expansion with panda's in it....'

Dev two: 'And lets give them 2 month free playtime and two button clicks???!!'

yadda yadda......
