Why the lack of interrupts/control as a mercenary/commando, when our other advanced class has way better control / survivability? Right now as it stands, if a melee gets in my grill or something interrupts my tracer missle, I'm pretty much toast.

What did you pick and why? I heard (and not sure) that such things like armstech / armortech kind of blow because you just use the gear you get anyway from pvp? Or am I wrong? I just want to pick the best I get right now, and I heard biochem was really strong because of not having to buy med packs / stims.

Just saying this again: 1) Yes it sucks we have to spam trace missile / grav rounds... but we have to in order to even use our other abilities as they rely off the procs from those abilities. 2) In a 1v1 situation, if you interrupt or stun us during the casting of said abilities, we're pretty much screwed because of aforementioned number 1, as well as having only few abilities to get you off of us. 3) Most classes have what, an 8 second ability to lock us out for 4 seconds? Along with stuns? Use them more when we are standing there launching our tracer missiles, lock us out of it, and then just pound on us. We're not powertechs or vanguards, and therefore if you stop those abilities and get up in my grill, chances are I don't have my CD's to get you off me, or do enough damage in melee. 4) Yes it sucks in a big pvp battle to be hit by said abilities, but in any other battle or 2v1, 2v2, 1v1, it's so easy to stop us from casting, especially if you run in our melee range, we're pretty much useless.

Need major help. I would assume Mercenary = damage gods, best pvp class. But tracer missle spam sounds boring. Any help would be awesome. Basically want to go the advanced class spec that would output better in pvp and 1v1 scenarios, and right now it looks like powertech would be better in that regard with all the cc and interupts. Any body have any advice? Its driving me nuts right now trying to decide what to play... mercenary seems more my style (I always play ranged/archer type classes in MMO's) but that tracer missle spam horror I keep reading about is detering me away from that.
