I find it funny when people come back to the game after their class get's a buff and then they say, ofc it's not op.
That being said, when an operative opened on my full conq sent withing the drop and the following cc i was down to using GBTF, and i killed said operative within those 4 sec of GBTF, but that is only because sen't are op in their own right, and having no cc breaker and being jumped by an operative you are pretty much screwed.
They needed more survivability not more dps, because adding dps only adds to the frustration of fighting one in 1v1 and doesn't fix the classes weakness in group settings.
