The increased timer on TA's has helped immensely. I no longer lose stacks in stun making it much easier for me to survive focus.

My quality of life as a healer went up since the patch. Least before ranked comes out and its all CC/Interupts/Knockbacks ... Death

Sorc's pushback on thier resource regen is kinda funny. I've never heard of a sorc actually having force issues. Most of it is due to the burst nature of boss damage and the cost of healing as an operative to deal with that burst (or wipe mind you) is to spam Kinj or KInf and thus obliterating thier own resource pool. Lets get out of looking at normal modes. They are laughable enough as is. With a properly geared tank, you can heal with Mako if you wanted. So beyond that in HM's/NM's, an operative can't keep a group up whereas a sorc can easily. It's due to the aoe heal being better and not being crippled as hell with how thier energy regen system works with burst damage. Furthermore, having 2 sorcs isn't any disadvantage at all, but good luck having 2 operatives healing. Operatives, as currently designed, are worse enough in fact that actual prejudice is being formed about grouping WITH operative healers. When that happens it does indeed impact our player base beyond the number crunching aspect, so its not just a matter of us whining to get close. It's wanting to not be shelved because the class itself is terrible enough that everyone else knows it and doesnt want us.

As an operative healer that one had me rolling.

Can't say in my 64 valor ranks of playing that I've ever seen a sniper/gs that is anything more than an irritant. As a healer, they sure can't kill me (nor really can operatives for that matter) without help. Only time when one is doing any good in huttball is when they blast me off a ledge, but of course you could have any number of classes do that so good for you great snipers. Keep on truckin and I'll keep thanking you're not playing a better class

I love people who say this class rocks. They live in a fantasy land where outgearing and outskilling someone and posting vids about it make them look awesome. Simple fact is if you were to make a perfect pvp ranked team (especially in huttball) it wouldnt include an operative. As an operative healer, I laugh when operatives try to kill me cause it just wont happen

Shhh you're not supposed to let out the secret that the supposed problem isn't the real problem and wz ones likely still won't count after the "patch" anyway. Kinda like how SOA has a 0% chance of being fixed in this lifetime

As an operative healer I basically laugh at any operative trying to solo me. Other classes not so much. Also, when someone mentions you can stun lock someone to death after a good 6s it is generally not a good thing. I find if you spend that amount of time in huttball or especially voidstar or alderaan around an objective you're already getting blown up.

Since it's become quite obvious that operatives are the weakest link in almost any role you can define (pvp or pve), I feel like our class is a wasted space. Any complaints are falling on deaf ears either and the standard response is of all things to just close the thread (call it great customer service). I feel like the only way to get any response is a massive thread explosion. Rather than reply and put all the responses in one place, instead generate a new thread each time. Hopefully if the forums are full of threads some dev would at least post what the hell they are attempting to do to make operatives useful. Least we can say we are one step above a summoned companion. Or by 1.2 we may not be at this rate
