jonglynn Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 You think we like that? Gimme a break. Give me an interrupt or a jump (Not sure why a Bounty Hunter can't charge people with ROCKETS DUH)..... Otherwise we have no abilities other than tracer......

Alatare Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 Yeah I have to admit that I've been pretty annoyed at this. I have found a way to not be so annoyed about it though: I rolled a merc and specced tracer missile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ColeWorld Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 Meh tbh I disapprove of Tracer Missile/Grav spam. It isn't the -only- thing they have. But its a bit annoying to see my own teammates running around spammin 1 ability. It just happens to be the most effective in their mind. I remember the first time on my Smuggler when I was fighting a BH while behind cover. He just looked at me, and Tracer Missile'd me to death. I thought it was pretty funny because I tried to fight tactical and all. Couldn't even run away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Astarica Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 There's a lot of weirdness with tracer missile. For a one button no cooldown attack, you'd think it falls into the weaker classification (ranged) but it's actually tech. The 15% bonus to crit comes in 2 piece in the PvE set, even though most classes get +15% bonus to a skill for the 4 piece bonus. From the set bonuses it looks like you're supposed to get something weak for the 2 piece bonus, and the +15% crit chance to a staple move is supposed to be the payoff for using 4 pieces. But Tracer Missile/Grav Round only requires 2 pieces. Just fixing that alone will probably reduce the amount of missile spams since wearing 4 pieces of PvE gear is a significant disadvantage in PvP, but most people can afford to wear 2 since due to RNG there's a pretty good chance you won't have a full set of Champion visible anyway.

Morninglory Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 This is a stupid post from some one who obviously doesn't understand the class mechanic or pvp.... You can't spam tracer missile or you will over heat and be a sitting duck btw your imobile whilst you use tracer missile which is ill advised in pvp, lastly interupt, stun and cc destroy most people.

StrifedRevan Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 They should make it so that if their tracer missiles are interrupted it will explode in their face and deal 50% damage, having such a luxury of a weapon should have its setbacks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenmuir Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 What else would you rather have them cast OP? Every other ability Commando/Mercenary has is either a 15s cooldown or a CC. The only abilities you could even put Gravity Vortex/Heat Signiture on are already buffed by Grav Round/Tracer. The only other "real" attacks that the Commando/Merc has are High Impact Bolt(6% extra damage per cast of Grav Round, only usable on targets that are Hit with Grav Round or have a DOT), Demolition Round(5% extra damage per Vortex/Signiture), Full Auto(Grav Round/Tracer has a 30% chance to reduce cooldown and give 25% extra damage). So much of the rest of the tree; 2% damage reduction on self per cast, 1 cell on crits, in total almost half of the tree, is dependent on casting Grav Round/Tracer Missile often. What would you rather have them do? Spam Hammer Shot all day? lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cashogy Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 how many times does it need to be posted? tracer missile is no more overpowered than any other main special in the game. want to know why some bh's hit so hard with tracer missile? stack surge and crit and watch the damage pile up. any dps class is able to do this tracer missile spammers are easily killed. if you cant kill them, youre likely just as bad as the tracer missile spammer. stop crying for nerfs, learn your class, and stop sucking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jebi Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 (edited) If you spam tracer missiles as a BH you are bad. If you think tracer missiles spam is even remotely difficult to counter you are terribad. Man . . . that was the funniest thing i've seen in a long long time.
