Real Mercs use all of the weapons. Classic rotation is still pretty much the same: 1) tm x 3 2) heat seeker 3) rail shot 4) unload 3 and 4 depend on if barrage popped which now is highly likely

It makes sense. Jango fett did the same thing after all he has a MISSILE launching from his back so he would have to squat and brace himself or he would be tossed like a rag doll or miss horribly. Critical thinking is hard for most gamers I know.

Unlike most people that just complain on here lol.

It is really not that bad when you consider all the ************ people have been doing. If I was a developer and had to listed about mercs complaining about tracer missile all the time I would lol and make a it a 6 second cast and spit on their faces for being insignificant whiny ******* that have to use macros for everything they try and play. Granted all of your complaining did get the animation of fusion missile and tracer missile switched. Diablo 3 is horrible as stated above and the other game is just laughable. If your unsubbing because of a nerf than you never meant to stick around and play the game anyways and honestly the SWTOR community is better off without you so we can weed out the scrub players that want it to be nothing more than space WoW. The people who are unsubbing need to grow a pair and realize all the classes have been nerfed at this point and maybe if you didnt request it to not be spammed you wouldtnt have been nerfed int he first place. You brought this upon yourselves, grow up.

I think its fine as is just change the name because it IS a big *** back missile and not wrist rocket like explosive dart. People complain about the stupidest things I swear.

For straight out burst DPS you want Merc. Arsenal spec hands down.

and yes the difference is 1.5 seconds but to do another 2.5k via isntant or channel is obvious instant all the way

Just try it lol I can do that exact rotation and by the time Im done with the 3rd tracer missile on the second rotation heat seeeker missile is ready and than rail shot again.

4.5+ 7.5 = 12 4.5 second to get to first Rail 7.5 to get to 2nd through completing Unload (3 second cast) and tm x3 again (4.5) = 7.5 Make sense now?

I havent noticed.

Nothing wrong with Pyro. Do what you like to do man, more power to you

ok think of it this way (numbers are random bc I am at work): ===================================== 1 hit From Rail Shot = 1,500 So, Rail Shot + 30% from buff= 1,950 That is your method, correct? (minus numbers as I said before). =================== Same Numbers =================== 1 hit from Rail Shot = 1,500 (Rail shot + 18% = 1,770) X2 = 3,540 [2 shots each at 18% buff] =================== 10.5 seconds (yours) = 1,950 (only 1 hit) 12 seconds (Myself) = 3,540 (2 hits) So in other words its better to do more hits than not. I hope that helps.

Nah, its just annoying when you try to help people about how to improve their rotation and DPS and people are thinking the old .8 version when you've already done and tried that and are on the 1.0 version. People will find out for themselves eventually.

Tired of wasting my breath. I didnt do all of beta to max and regular game to max to go through all this stuff and rotations that were already ruled out and deemed ineffective. Trust me, it works.

I think tracer missile does more damage than powershot because the first Tracer Missile includes the armor reduction since they happen at the same time. Maybe thats why your numbers are higher for tracer missile.

10.5 seconds channeled time to do your rail shot. 4.5 seconds for 1 railshot doing 18% more 7.5 seconds later another Rail for another rail doing 18% as well. So it takes you 21 seconds to fire 2 rail shots doing 30% more with it. While it takes me 12 seconds to do 2 rail shots for 36% (total) more damage while still initiating my 2 unloads with Barrage. Its instant speed like heatseeker and should be used whenever its not on CD so long as its not interfering with other needs for a given situation. I dont use relics fyi otherwise mine would still prove to do even more. I typically do roughly 2-2.5k per rail shot on a target at 49. (could be secondary specs which is accuracy and crit)

Before you get heatseeker (as stated in my post) you use Railshot after 3 tracer missile. Once you get heatseeker it is: TM TM TM HSM Rail Unload by the time you finish that you can redo the entire rotation as your cooldowns are now reset and you just got the highest possible single target dps.

All I hear is "WAH WAH I WANNA BE OP AND NERF US ALL WAH WAH!" -Merc. Baby We do amazing DPS and have excellent armor. No we dont have any real interrupts but TFB play the game at range and you will max DPS easier than any other class (Arsenal Merc. compete with Agents, normally depends on level of both in war zone). I never EVER have a problem surviving as a Arsenal Merc. Worst comes to worst just reroll.

I love how I got a warning and they left in the word Hell. So awesome XD

I believe when the numbers pop up that fast it adds the 2 prior hits than displays the third (after the third hit of course not what it will do). Honestly I dont think one favors the other except that 1 ammo is = to 8.333 heat or something along those lines so BH's get a miniscule advantage in that area. There is a lot of randoms to take into account for damage, hit miss, accuracy, levels, push back stats, etc. We would need like the entire formula to accurately display if there is a difference.

Ok since it seems people are not explaining entirely too well I will do my best: I posted this on my guild site http://www.sithvengeance.com In addition since you dont have the 2 heat signatures per Tracer Missile its is best to do the following rotation to maintain heat. 1. Tracer Missile 2. Tracer Missile 3. Tracer Missile 4. Rail Shot 5. Unload 6. Repeat 1-5 Essentially just make sure their heat signature is always at 5 and you should do fine.

What are the base stats for damage of Full auto? I have a theory right now that where BH's attacks may hit they will do less damage with the hits as opposed to Troopers missing 1 but balancing out damage wise with Unload.

I think there is a customizable head piece like that. As for the super awesome advanced rare hard to find OMG look *** I just found schematics...start killing world bosses ><'

I guess it would really depend on your spec. I am a merc arsenal spec and (lvl. 49), I have the anti-pushback talents selected on my tree for unload. Maybe it isnt a matter of class but tree speccing?

Its mild. I know my rotation and what the hell I have to do so its less bothersome. I also know my cooldowns so I find it less annoying than most. That being said having it grayed out was convenient but I dont find the game unplayable because of the change.
