Many people have stated this before but its worth adding support to. The AP burst is just getting higher with the new tactical and its sustained DPS being lowered, its currenlly a good class but suffers in AOE. Removing its single target sustained DPS drops its effectiveness in an ops setting. Pyro does objectively better due to DOT spreads. This will just mean players are shoehorned into even less classes such as Vengeance and Annihilation for OPS. Merc DPS still isnt on par with other classes and still needs additional buffs to be more viable. Reducing energy cell cost of hyper assault rounds and additional supercharge generation might help. Arsenal is still begging for a buff to even be considered completive. The more you nerf currently classes the smaller the "effective classes" group becomes. TLDR Buff lower classes don't nerf current classes
