Aye my main is a carnage mara and my thoughts are pretty much the same.

I prefer arenas personally. Super quick comms ftw.

This would be worth reading if the OP was actually complaining about the class without having played it, but he isnt. Hes complaining because its *********** easy-mode as a concealment op with the damage as it is and even those who play that class as their mains can see that. There's always going to be those who will defend a patch that makes their class overpowered. You said it yourself 'us being **** for 2 years+'. That comment right there reaks of just being butthurt for being bad at your own class.

Everything this guy said x100. I pretty much have no reason to play my marauder over my operative anymore because he just does it better with more perks. The changes needed to buff concealment were minimal at best, they were still a more than viable choice for operatives. To say they went overboard was an understatement. Now they dominate in both healing AND dps. I don't know why Bioware is trying to make op/scoundrel the super class.

I dont think I need to remind you, that you're dealing with EA here. There's a reason they were voted 'Worst company in America' twice.

I can agree with OP tbh. I saw in another thread stating that these classes were apparently designed for 'lone wolf' style of play. To me that's complete ********, in a game that's designed around 'team' play. So many times I have seen stealth players **** up and get caught out and so many times their long line of stuns, cc breaks and escapes have saved their *** when really they should be lying in the dirt.
