gluefoot Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 (edited) I seem to see a lot of people complaining about Tracer Missile/Grav Round spamming in PvP. I wonder why we use it? It can't be because it's our only ammo/heat efficient single target no cooldown ability... It can't be because it increases the potency of our other abilities... It can't be because it offers utility to our team through armor debuff... I guess it is because we like to tick you guys off and spam it just 'cause. Gunnery/Arsenal is built around Grav/Tracer missile. Get over it. To say: "OMGZ Plz stop spamming gravround!" Is like saying to Operatives/Scoundrels and Assassins/Shadows: "OMGZ Plz stop using stealths!" Edited January 16, 2012 by gluefoot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vindianajones Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 I mentioned this in a recent thread about it but I guess I'll say it again. It's not the players' fault, it's the poor design of the class that makes this a necessity. That doesn't mean that it isn't stupid. I can't blame you for doing it if it's your best potential damage, but when you have classes that need to use 15 skills on rotation and situationally to win, a class that only has to use a few to accomplish the same thing is not balanced.

KenJaxom Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 I to dont think its the players fault, But they said it above, one class can hit 2 keys the whole fight and rock n' roll, while JS and maras have to hit like 17. A bit odd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maurdiib Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 Although one of my most played characters is a Merc with spec for tracer missiles, I don't try to rationalize how easy and effortless it is to accumulate the most rewards for doing the same skill over and over. I think it would do well for many others to admit at the very least this class is currently OP and needs nerfing/adjusting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kentontudor Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 Once Arsenal Mercs learn how to use Unload along with their Tracer Missle, then the Tracer Missle Spam threads will end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gluefoot Posted January 16, 2012 Author Share Posted January 16, 2012 (edited) Once Arsenal Mercs learn how to use Unload along with their Tracer Missle, then the Tracer Missle Spam threads will end. They do use it. I use Full Auto a lot with CoF procs. People just only see Grav Round. And What do you people mean, we can take down people with 3 shots? It takes 5 from me just to put a dent in anyone! Edited January 16, 2012 by gluefoot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew_Waltfeld Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 i just cant stop laughing when we interrupt the tracer missile, you all stand there and dont know what to do hehe. I just use demolition round, then high impact bolt, maybe a explosive round if I Feel like it. Doesn't bother me that much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
