Alright well **** y'all. See you in another world.

I think you quoted the wrong person. I know what Vanish is used for.

Battling a competent healer in a 1v1 is one of the most difficult PvP encounters for an operative. It is a given that we consistently use properly placed interrupts and CCs. Catching a healer when he is preoccupied is a different matter; I think you're referring to this type of situation when you imply killing a healer is or should be easy.

There's quite a few of you that see vanish as an offensive maneuver when a majority of the time, at the upper echelons of pvp, it is solely an escape mechanism. Why? Because people aren't instagibbed like what happens in your fantasy land. You're struggling to kill a adequately geared 50 and something goes awry.

I like your honesty. A competent sage is one of the hardest classes to kill as an operative. You're going to be on cloud nine after this patch is deployed.

QFT. Also "Hardmode LF 2 DPS" "Operative here" "Lethality?" "Concealment" "**** off"

I'll live with it in the world of Sanctuary.

I wasn't aware there were preordained specs for PvE.

Sure, I agree with your fictional story. A lot of you are still hinting that you haven't had enough experience in organized level 50 PvP combat. This puts your credibility into question. And who wants you guys calling the shots? Oh.. that's right, BioWare does.

Concealment operatives were on the verge of being unviable melee dps in PvE. We don't have the damage sustainability as most of our damage is burst. We are very limited on how many times we can use our bread and butter ability as it has to be enacted from stealth. Not to mention there is no shortage of melee DPS and your slot could have gone and now WILL go to ranged DPS.

Horse ****.

Are you kidding? One of the main counters to a scoundrel/operative? Try pushing buttons, there's your strategy.

You like bullet points and sequenced outlines don't you. I'm surprised you didn't 1)Pop a trinket 2)Take a medpac 3)Kill an operative or 1)Roll with friends 2)Kill an operative or 1)infinite counters 2)kill an operative

And this notion is acceptable?

Not anymore. I've unsubscribed if you didn't get the implication just as you don't understand the nerf was excessive. It seems that BioWare is pandering to salvage their subscriptions. "Well Jim, let's nerf the scoundrels and operatives as they are statistically the least played classes in the game in order to make great benefit to the glorious nation of everyone else. These complaints have been sitting on my desk for a while.. perfect timing. You see, we'll lose some subscriptions but retain more in the long run. Brilliant, huh?" "Great idea, Mike. Let's work on more Romance features.'

instagibbed? "L2P" You're out of your league here buddy. As in, you have no idea what you're talking about. Get to 50 and get your expertise up. An opportunistic class that requires more mental variables than any other to successfully complete his or her task is skilless? You're ignorant.

So crippling a class and rendering time invested by thousands of players worthless is your definition of winning? "honestly guys..."

Any scoundrel or operative agreeing that we were/are overpowered have never dealt with the challenging scenario of facing a savvy enemy or well organized combatants. Newbie operatives if you will. So tell us, mighty whiners, what is our role now? If you guessed being /danced at while you give it everything you have to unsuccessfully try to kill someone you win.

You sound like a sociopath; giddy at the thought of loss of others.

You see these types of sick ****s that duped your team, BioWare group? Immoral criminal mindsets.

Ri-***********-diculous. Just jump into the freezing Atlantic waters like everyone else. The lifeboats are full. This is a despicable nerf with such weight as to cripple a class from achieving its intended role. Operatives and Scoundrels will no longer be desired in PvE and will underperform in PvP. We exposed our secrets and handed you counter strategies on a silver platter but you weren't happy, you didn't want to adapt. You wanted the sheer malevolent action of a nerf because of past grievances. Your whining brought about more than a crushing nerf, it brought death.

As another poster mentioned the acid blade nerf renders us ****ED in PvE; Essentially obsolete as melee DPS. Well done.

I'd love to see the other "compensation." A class destroyed because of the ignorance of other players. I hope you're recognizing a pattern here. Cut your losses and pull out like any other sane human being.

Admitting you're terrible at the game. Well done.

Good thing I unsubbed. More incentive to stay unsubbed as a 50/64 Operative. Another poor decision on the developer's part. Edit: Knee jerk reaction nerf to pre 1.1 without a 50 bracket. Sleep soundly operatives and scoundrels.
