Rerolled from Bounty Hunter Mercenary to Trooper Commando yesterday after 1.1 patch came out (don't like fighting with a zerg; dull as hell) and I have noticed these issues as well. Mortar Volley doesn't start untill halfway through the channel, while Death from Above starts right away. Same goes for Full Auto when compared to Unload. Now, you can say this is because the Trooper has to "prepare" or "steady himself," but from a PVP point of view this is just like shooting yourself in the foot. I'm a PVP'er, so I'd like my skills to work the way they're supposed to; to stand around for a second or more, having to wait for the abbility to actually start, is something that can easily put you at a disadvantage, since you're basically fiddling about, waisting time that could have been used for other things. I hope they fix these issues sometime soon, because I can't really see myself enjoying PVP on Trooper as much as I did on Mercenary if two of the main attack skills aren't working as well on this class as they do on their Empirial mirror.
