Nerf tracer missle now

Going with the avalanche theory, huh? Funny.. I've never seen that in any MMOs myself, just constant ups and downs. Gets a little out of hand, but eh, usually there's more by now, so I'm not seeing things being so knee jerk here.

why are you being so defensive about this? next time im on ill put my lvl 50 questing gear back on and if im not around 12k then ill come back here and call bs, is that what youre afraid of?

really cause my lvl 50 merc in a suit of champ minus bracers and a relic has 15k hp and i dont remember merc having a tanking tree

I have to agree with the first line of his post, though.

15k is about right for champ gear, and go ahead, get the questing gear and put it on. Make sure to count the relics you'll have on average at that level as well as implants and earpiece, all of which are harder to get blues of questing up. It'll be pretty close to the 12k, maybe 13k range with a slight bit more endurance stacking. Why do I get defensive? Because it annoys the hell out of me for people who try to cover their ears and ignore the truth, instead calling people bad players for something that really isn't their fault.

force leap/charge doesn't cause an actual lockout like the true interrupt skills and typically by the time you actually land on the target due to animation, the effect has ended unless you're either very close to begin with or have points invested to increase its duration by a second, which I haven't tried.

what truth? ive hit for a 3k crit with TM ONCE and it was in nearly full champ gear against a fresh 50. i have yet to see the proof of a geared merc critting another geared player for 3k consistently

Replace the less then stellar enhancements in your PvP gear. That's a big source of it.
EDIT: I'd also like to note it was on a different topic then what you're referring to if you'd have followed the quotes. Seriously...

I'll take some screenshots, I'm a Battlemaster with 660 Expertise, there's some players who use the Rakata stim who will crit me anywhere from 2.9-3.3k with Tracer. Even without the stim they're still critting for 2.5-2.9k.

That's not an ability issue it's a STIM issue people!

I have a new alternate proposal to the TM spamming nerf - instead of decreasing its damage or increasing its CD, how about making it only have a set % chance (something like 30%, maybe 50%) to apply the armorbreak effect and maybe damage resistance buff (if you're a true arsenal spec, that is) but still let it always give the user the buff to increase damage from their other specials?

That'd put it more in line with how other skill-specced classes are granted their buffs (one example: madness sorcerers with the wrath skill).

Whether or not the damage resistance buff would also need a % chance to procc would possibly be overkill, but by causing the armorbreak debuff to require a chance to procc would certainly be less severe than the type of nerf which is likely to result based on the current proposals to reduce its damage or increase CD.
