I think you are completely missguided and wrong. You're going for the obvious animations rather than the actual damage. You're worried about my 1.4-1.6k channeled ability opposed to my 2.8k & 2k instant cast abilities because those two have a barely noticeable graphics. Very much like the Sorcerer lightning moans. If someone is simply standing there and spamming Grav/Tracer they are actually wasting time where they could be doing more damage with unload/full auto/HiB/demo round etc. People are using Grav/Tracer because of the proc's and buffs it gives all the actual juicy stuff, people are complaining about it because it is so obvious looking.

Many of the tanks I have spoken to Gaurds/Marauders consider gunnery/arsenal players as free kills, and they are if all they know how to do is grav/tracer.

Every class has a staple skill, this is the Force lighting/disturbance/Slash of the class when specced gunnery. Take away the buffs/debuffs/procs on grav round and there would be no point taking it, it's damage output is only slightly better than charged rounds(the skill it replaces on a lot fo skill bars.)

That video proves 4 people focus firing a target is efficient killing, Sorry to but I was doing that in MMO's before WoW was born.

Actually, at 50, Charged Bolts does more damage than Grav Round. A whole 4% more, or something like that.

And ONLY Mercenaries are saying it because they AREN'T mirrored. They do not do the same amount of damage. Please stop lying through your teeth.

Yoinks and away !!

There's a whole two of you making this claim at the moment, and with no proof. You probably shouldn't be trying to speak for the whole community. All readily verifiable data indicates that the abilities are complete mirrors. If you can demonstrate actual proof supporting your claim, then I will concede that an adjustment needs to be made as they are intended to be completely equal.

Except on most WZ's it's going to take you a lot longer than 1.5 sec to duck behind cover, thus they are usually guaranteed to hit you at least twice.

A defensive powertech CAN charge people with rockets (Jet Charge)
so yeah...

Love this thread. Genuinely irritates me now to see a Merc just bent over in the middle of the zerg spamming tracer missile for 2k a time. What a joke.

and that you can do pretty well in a WZ with only 1 keybind.
