Yazule Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 Just let my buffs/debuffs last 20 seconds instead of 5, i promise to start using power shot a lot more seeings how it hits harder (of course that is the opposite effect the whiners want) end of the day do not play BH if you have ADD because you get a whopping 3.5 seconds of "do something else" before you have to cast another TM or fail at being a merc arsenal because you are letting your debuffs/buffs drop off.

Yazule Posted February 9, 2012 Author Share Posted February 9, 2012 /ignore also works. i like my solution better, makes them happy and ups my dps muahahahaha *rubs hands together* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkenDragon Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 no that wouldnt work since we dont cast tracer missile to refresh the debuff any how. and power shot doesnt get the benefit of venting heat with the high velocity talent nor does it apply tracer lock stacks for rail shot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DervimNorth Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 i like my solution better, makes them happy and ups my dps muahahahaha *rubs hands together* Lmao! You're evil, dude. Sadly, you're forgetting power barrier and Railshot buff. The later must be allowed to gained through power shot spamming, just like throug TM. And as for power barrier, it needs to last 20 secs as well. That way we won't need to use TM atoll the time, for sure... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That way we won't need to use TM atoll the time, for sure... you are right, so lets have up the timer on power barrier to 20 sec as well and give 3 charges to the railshot buff (at whatever stack level it is at) see easy peasy, end TM spam forever!!!

Hehe, best solution ever, man! That way I can be hybrid bg/arsenal with CSC and spamming free powershots/unloads every few seconds! ^_^ And the best part?! No blazing trail leading straight to me, with no human aggro involved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TempestasSilva Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 I just think changing the animation and sound would fix most of the whining. The Ability is too obvious and in your face. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kabaal Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 I just think changing the animation and sound would fix most of the whining. The Ability is too obvious and in your face. Pretty much this, i rolled a Commando recently to taste the other side and it's really is a case of night and day. On my merc people hear the tracer noise and automatically go straight for me but on the commando i can usually just spam away and get ignored, partly because it's less in your face "Here i am hurting you, come get me" and partly because people tend to ignore troopers as they don't realise the difference between Commandos and Vanguards. Not so easy Vs decent premades who know what is what though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can spam charged burst=snipe=powershot all day long and everyone just ignore me until I pop the big ones+finisher...Btw, I love gunslinger over sniper coz he doesn;t have this "I'M OVER HERE SHOOTING AT YOU" trail after snipe/ambush Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cegenaus Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 how about if TM stacks all the buffs/debuffs in one shot? that way i definitely wont use it more than once Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Irishbrewed Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 I think the talent tree was designed way TOO MUCH around tracer missle.. There are some really cool/fun talents in Aresenal, sadly I cannot play it due to its dependency on spamming one ability to get adequate debuff on someone. I really hope they rethink the Arsenal tree, I doubt they will though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhilCanuck Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 probably true, took grav round a couple more weeks than TM to have people start whining about it.

Yazule Posted February 10, 2012 Author Share Posted February 10, 2012 (edited) So swap it with Fusion Missile already. no no no no no no no no no no i do NOT want a target painted on my target, i do NOT want a red line pointing to me for all to see the preheals, prebubbles, easier LOS would all be a lose for the class that is the WORST pvp animation ever ever ever (except poor snipers, they rarely hit me due to LOS, or i pop a shield and precast my heal if there is no LOS to be had)... and their orbital strike?

I think you are one of that pvp merc hybrids, that use tracer missiles and the rest of bodyguard... Do you really think, that tracer missile, the root of ALL evil of the whole merc specialisation, is staying at that place in the arsenal tree for long? Sooner or later Bioware will put that skill deeper into that tree, thats for sure. If it make sense or not, just to get rid of some whine...
