That's not a broken skill, that's lag. Before you tell me that you have a 10000MB connection and have zero lag, let me just say, it's lag. What happens is, you use a skill that appeared to have worked and was certainly triggered, but in fact 1 of 2 things happened: They weren't affected by the skill due to lag on your end showing you they were in a spot they actually weren't. They were affected and jumped back to you immediately with a skill. Keep in mind that Rocket punches knockback really doesn't knock things back that far, so it's quite possible they just ran back up to you and the blinking disappearing is from lag and that lag doesn't allow you to see them run back up to you, instead they just seem to rubberband back to you.

The chances that every single one of your skills is going to be interrupted is extremely low, if by chance they are, then you have too many people on you and are going to die anyway. Sounds to me like you guys are just mad that you keep getting ***** in pvp. Guess what, I know this is a surprise to you, but you WILL die in pvp. If you want to run around with 'Immortal' go roll a Powertech and get a pocket healer. This original idea that Arsenal Mercs have zero survivability is complete hyperbole. If you are a smart player you will do fine. This means knowing when to use what and when, where to position, when to just run away, etc. Try out Pyrotech and you will see how much tougher an Arsenal merc is to kill. What Pyrotech gives up in survivability though, they gain in mobility and gain the ability to kite. The damage is also back loaded. I understand how annoying it is to be told to learn to play when you feel like you know what you are doing, but with these outlandish complaints and statements what do you expect? Maybe there are little adjustments here and there that can be done, but you guys are acting like you are helpless. All that says is you need to take a break and research how to play the class. If you don't think so then simply roll another class or AC until they make this one how you want it to be. Until then, cut this hyperbole, it makes you look foolish and bad.

Great point.

You're calling people that have no issues with BH healing baddies? Seriously? I'll only agree with what already has been agreed with, emergency scan needs a buff. Other than that, the heals are great when they are all used together. Use all of your abilities man and don't call people bad when they are trying to help you. More often than not, people have issues with a class due to user error. It's only when everyone agrees that it's a game issue.

This is a troll post right? Your knockback is shorter as arsenal, you get an additional knock back, you are rewarded with damage reduction for spamming tracer missle, etc.. I really hate to say this but this sounds like a learn to play issue... I never had survivability issues as an arsenal merc. That's not to say you don't, but still. Try pyro spec, you'll see how much squishier it is.

No. You then either be stuck healing or spamming tracer missle. Not only that but you will miss your powertech once you realize you only have 2 out of the 3 specs that are good. Sure, pyro is decent for merc but it is vastly better as powertech and the other 2 merc specs are simply just so much better than merc pyro. I find myself wishing my merc was a powertech quite a bit.

Are you not geared yet? My level 27 assassin does the same damage as deception spec. It's like slapping people in the back of the head with a wet noodle. Whereas my BH and marauder actually hit harder even at those levels and my bh is hitting harder now at higher level and gear.

Well, with a post like this, surely Bioware has run out of things to fix as the game is clearly near perfect. I get it... I noticed it... didn't care, figured it went along with everyone having an english accent.

I am happy with it but I knew it was coming and more in the future. All MAJOR issues will be fixed in a reasonable amount of time with this new influx of revenue for the development team. I'm not worried, never was and this is just whipped cream on my swtor pie. Keep it coming BW, not all of your customers are unreasonable quitters.

I completely see the point, you are simply being foolish and unreasonable about the whole thing. You and the other people claiming to quit the game. It doesn't matter how long an MMO is in development, it WILL have issues when it releases. WoW wasn't perfect when it came out, Rift wasn't perfect when it game out, no MMO was perfect when it came out. Biowares focus for this game was to create a story driven environment based on a popular IP. Guess what, they did it. All of the other stuff is either fluff or standard MMO fare. Since all the other stuff was secondary, it suffered. Things will be added, fixed and otherwise. We haven't even been through the first month and your kind of people are stomping around like 5 year olds that were told they can't have a cookie for breakfast. Go educate yourself on game development and MMO game systems and come back with more enlightened and valid reasoning because right now you are quitting over 'the usual' of an MMOs birth. Just because there are lessons from other MMOs doesn't mean developers are going to have the time or the money to make everything as perfect as the playerbase wants. Go learn about these things so you can see how invalid your reasons for quitting are. The devs are working on things and there has to be a balance of bug fixes and new features, we are already getting a pvp update within the first month of release, I think that is a testament to how important this game is to the developers and plenty of reason why people should give the game much longer than 15 days. Whine, cry and leave if nothing is fixed in 6 months or a year, not 15 days, get real guys, this is MMO gaming. MMOs are never finished, period, that's the nature of a dynamic environment, it's never done and it always evolves or it dies. Don't like it? Go try to make one yourself.

Where do you get THAT statement from, where did I say it was only a PvE game? Oh that's right I didn't. Though considering the game is 90% or more PvE based, it's clearly a PvE game with PvP thrown in to appeal to more people. Just like most MMOs out there PvP is an afterthought. You want PvP, there are plenty of games out there that offer plenty of competitive ****-fighting. Go play those and come back when this one has more to offer PvP wise. I will say though, this is a story based game and the PvP content will never have more weighting than the PvE content, so gtf over it already. Cancel your sub and don't come back to the forums to bog it down with more whining and senseless rhetoric.

Too bad the Complainer isn't an April Fools joke....

Seriously, this class is beyond overpowered, all day long spamming us with Force QQ. It's so tiring playing SWTOR Forum and just being constantly 2-shotted by this ability. Please nerf Complainers Bioware, surely you've noticed this and the fact that so many people are playing this class just for this 1 ability. It's worse than Tracer Missle and Force Lightning spam. You can't guard it and you can't heal through it.. You should have known better Bioware, seriously. I'm writing a strongly worded letter to my Congressman about this.

It's amazing that you people are leaving a PVE game because you don't like how the PVP turned out. You still here? Enjoy Hello Kitty Online Adventures. That's right, I'm bringing that back.

Voice acting is actually one of the very last things they add to games... IDK if that makes your outlook of BW worse or not, but it's true.

Good grief, if it was easier then you'd get the gear and then cry about how you are bored and there's nothing further for you to look forward to. Welcome to MMOs... "Nasty little surprise" Come on...

If only there were other things to do in the game besides pvp.... Get real, you won't be missed, bye.

If you spam tracer missle you will at some point max out heat, regardless. If you spam tracer missle only, you're bad. If you can't stop a bounty hunter from spamming tracer missle, you're bad. If I see one doing it, they are my first target and more often than not, the guys that only spam the one button stand there looking stupid when you interrupt it and they can't use it, proving they are bad. Now, is tracer missle still really good? Of course it is, but there are other skills to use as well and frankly I've found I can do the same damage as pyrotech spec, sure it's more work but the dps is still there. Spamming tracer missle all day does nothing for the team and ultimately that's what pvp is about, the team. Let the baddies be bad *shrug*

So is this a complaint about Empire or level 50s? Because I can tell you right now that both sides are nearly identical and are balanced. Population is irrelevant when it comes to warzones since teams are balanced regardless unless people take advantage of certain bugs that allow more players in. If the complaint is about level 50s and the necessity of a bracket system, sure I agree. If not, get 50 and then queue. I face the issue with Jedi 50s on my server, though I know once we have more 50s and gear we'll be fine.

This doesn't mean anything, I'm pretty sure at 50 this is easy using AoEs, dots, etc. with expertise gear. Don't base nerf calls on pvp damage boards, that's just stupid.

I killed it at 26 with my marauder with quinn. I used all my cooldowns and ran away when he started procing the aoe murder button. Was a pretty good fight, not too easy not too hard.
