Spyde Posted January 21, 2012 Author Share Posted January 21, 2012 That would be easy if i had more then 12k HP and didnt die in 3-4 shots. And dont say get level 50.. As they are Nerfing operative due to lowbie levels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zXMeicXz Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 blame the people, I pay a gunnery commando, my mirror of tracer missile is grav round, of course I use it alot but I mostly use it until the debuff is maxed out then I throw out a demolition round and/or high impact bolts, this is where I get most of my big crits Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crickeey Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 (edited) Step 1: Target Enemy Step 2: Spam 1 button Step 3: lulz at critting over and over for 2-4k dmg with no cooldown from 30m away. Bounty Hunters were DESIGNED to spam one button.. Tracer missle is the ONLY ability that SWTOR wanted us to use. Tracer missle gives us 10% dmg reduction shield, adds target lock for increased dmg to missles, Decreases armor by 20%, increases rail shot damage, AND it has a chance to proc 'Unload' so it does +25% more damage... so dont blame us when we spam it b/c we HAVE no other choice.. its the only button Edited January 21, 2012 by crickeey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crickeey Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 (edited) Play pyrotech instead? OR, just make other buttons more viable for mercs? maybe spread all those bonus' out so that using other abilities is worth while?? one thing they need to nerf is that instant cast AOE 10 second CC, atleast prevent its use in pvp... Also Bounty Hunter has an ability "shoulder slam" which is UNUSABLE in pvp. Edited January 21, 2012 by crickeey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you die to tracer missile spam, you have other issues, such as standing their derping, or I dunno, using a stun, interrupt or anything else in between. Tracer spammers are easy kills for my shadow, and probably going to be a hell of a lot of fun to kill for my vanguard once she's up there. So yea, if you die to tracer missile spam, only one person to blame there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

expired Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 I have no problems stunning or interrupting a tracer spam, its actually quite sad when they continue to use it even after a 4 second lockout and stand there with their finger up their nose until they can do it again. The only problem I have with it is when there are just so many bounty hunters/commandos spamming it that I can't interrupt or stun them all. Occasionally they wreck me in the rare times where both of my CC, my interrupt and my knockback are on cooldown. Only time where I can't do anything and have to just take it or run are when they are full resolved and my interrupt is down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, because you can los it all the time e.g. when you are chasing a ball carrier etc. Pseudo arguments like yours are so hilarious. The problem is, as another poster already said, all boni are bound to one ability and that crap also does huge damage and can be spammed. Very bad game design Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actua Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Ops is stealthed and kills before you can even see him. BH and Troopers are out in the open, standing still and just asking for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You really need this answered? Tracer can be interrupted and one cast does not take a player to 1/4 of their health. Op in one knockdown can kill a player without said player doing anything about it. All one can do is pray trinket is up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xxdragonragexx Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 tracer missile is actually not the ability that BH have that is scary or high dmg. The abilities after it that will complete the rotation are the ones that hit hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tracer is strong but can be interrupted and their damage is pretty bad after that. Not to mention Tracer doesn't plant your face into the ground and kill you within 3 hits.

Avindra Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 tracer missile is actually not the ability that BH have that is scary or high dmg. The abilities after it that will complete the rotation are the ones that hit hard. My tracer hits for 3.2k with no consumables, but yeh the abiilties that follow it do more dmg than tracer which are the ones I just cast after my tracer gets interupted.
