It's not that simple If DFA is better single target dps than that Tracer. Even if we had dmg meters, I'd leave it to some math genius to calculate if the Barrage proc from Tracer outweighs the dmg DFA puts out. Unload and DFA are perhaps a bit easier to compare. If you stick to Tracer, Unload, Heatseekers and Railshot, it doesnt really matter which of the first 3 you use your Thermals on.
I have to remember to really test out Fusion dmg ingame. Cant remember if it ticks every second or every 2 secs or what :g My initial crits were around 2k with 400 ticks, where as Tracer crits around 3,5k. Meaning the dot would have to happen 5 times (every second) to make Fusion overpower Tracer.
