First of all I got a Jedi Guardian as my main, that said...
Are you ******* kidding me??? That's exactly the same reasons not to nerf operatives/scoundrels but in different words: arfter their opener they got nothing, you still got the DPS after your shield goes down (+ puchbacks and CC's) and you are saying you are balance? Hello hypocrisy!
Again, same thing for OP/Scoundrels: Big opener at a cost of low surviability and DPS...
Hope you get your nerf next, and that it will be as abused as the OP/Scoundrel one... Maybe the SI's "Pro" community will start to bleed and give a chance to play multi-class matches.
PS: Sorry for taking your post as an example, I read you are somewhat against the OP/Scundrel abused nerf, but some of your statements are used as excuses not to nerf your class.
