To summon up the life of an Arsenal/Gunnery Comando/Merc nowadays:
Worst DPS spec in game
Pulls out more threat than any other spec - Tanks hate us
CF set (pre nerf) was better than what Apex Predator set is now
And if that wasn´t enough, Apex Predator set requires you to build (pre fight): 10 stacks of supercharge and an additional 5 stacks of power step that last 20 secs and are a pain to synchronise with the tank starting of the fight (drains energy, takes too long to set it and the 5 stacks disappear too fast) - Tanks also hate us for that
Being played as fools vs other specs with worst gear
Too much initial burst and unable to maintain DPS after that
Ok we do have great survivability but FFS we want to kill not play as tanks / healers
