    I don't know what all the fuss is about

    in Scoundrel / Operative

    Posted

    I'd like to chime in here a bit as I think I can add to the conversation. I've read most of the posts up until the last half of the final page, because frankly, I didn't want to wade through it all. The OP that says Ops are fine and then says they need work is rather... Well, silly. It's true that you can perform well, I have 2 going on 3 50s, and I still play my Operative as my main, I hit Battlemaster and I have all but a couple pieces of gear, I know what big numbers look like and I know how to **** people in group fights.

     

     

    Unfortunately, tanks exist in this game and any team well organized can put a stop to a nasty operative ruining their healer, you can say all you want that you just have to know what you're doing, but the fact of the matter is an Operative healer is put to waste by the other two healers. If you are on a Trooper/Bounty Hunter healer with guard and a tank who knows how to taunt you, you are NOT killing it, not without help from other classes who can do a lot more about the situation than you could ever hope to do. You have no knock backs or pulls, you cannot interrupt a bounty hunter who has his shield up and you have no reliable way to CC someone out side of flash bang.

     

    As a burst DPS attacking a heavy armored and guarded target, you are grinding your dick on sandpaper. I agree with the person (Who I cannot recall the name of) that has been supplying a vast and abundant amount of counter points to you because he understands the games balance. You cannot say Operatives are fine because there is a ton of evidence to say otherwise.

     

     

    The most glaring aspect of this? The fact that the population of operatives and scoundrels have dropped IMMENSELY (at least on my server). You can argue about skill all you want but good game balance does not alienate it's players from playing a class because it's "too hard".

     

    Even as a burst damage, we're not that great anymore because our damage goes down significantly ever patch, who's to say you'll be hitting anywhere near as hard as you do now in the next big patch? You have nothing to make up for it in any other spec either. Operative PvP healing is a decent support at best, you have no "Oh ****!" buttons, and saying that surgical probe is the best instant heal in the game is a far cry from solving any problems. As a lethality sec Operative you do a pretty decent amount of damage (It can be rather consistent too), that is, until you run out of energy as you inevitably will. Not to mention you have almost 0 survivability.

     

    Let me just say that I will agree that you CAN do things as an operative, and that it's even fun to do those things (especially if you are a good player). The problem is that EVERYBODY else will outshine you, they have more survivability than you do, and they have more utility than you do. Some can even stealth like you can, so you aren't even unique in any way. Do NOT say that operatives are fine, because they are not.

     

    I've been playing games as long as you guys have almost, and I've witnessed the highs and lows of all the MMOs in balance and imbalance and I've enjoyed them in all variants of balance, and I still do. However, because you are having fun, does not mean that it is right. Bioware has made it very clear that they want you to play Sorcerer because they do, and that they don't want you to play Operatives because they don't care to deal with the whining.

    Why do you Play an Op?

    Sorry, but I am sure you can find many posts out there that claim the opposite. Trying to state there is no debate about it and saying that your "opinion" is fact is not beneficial to your argument.

     

    It is also more rare for someone to post about how awesome they are at their class/spec, most of them are ingame playing and getting better. Using the tools to bring down their opponents. That is how you get better at a class, not by sitting on a forum saying how horrible you are and trying to get others to agree with you.

     

    False, the vast majority agrees that the class is in need of repair, and there is a big number of people who still play it, like myself. Despite having 2 50s and another 2 mid level characters, I still main my operative.

    I leveled both a Sorcerer and an Operative, the operative being my main. I like PvE healing as an operative, but you can sneeze 500k healing as Sorcerer, and working your *** off not hit even 300k sometimes as an operative if you are getting targeted. Operative healing has NO options when being the target of DPS, particularly when you get interrupted. I've done both healing specs, and while I don't LIKE healing as a Sorcerer, it's better in every way. It has more even in light armor I feel as if I have more survivability than my battlemaster operative. Both are at 50, and even though my Sorcerer is less geared, I can heal for more and more efficiently.

    Star wars 3d 4th for weekend

    So i watched 10 mnutes of the phantom menace 3d thing.

     

    This guy got through the characters part.

     

    I happen to like all 6 movies characters and think they all did a good job playing them.

     

    Again, the guy has not given One reason to actually make me think that the movie was horrible.

     

    Its entertainment, nothing more. Just as this game is.

     

    You're not a very interesting person, are you?

    Maul's Role in the Star Wars Universe

    in STAR WARS Discussion

    No.. just no.

     

     

    1st. Maul is overrated, and in the EU books his character has no personality or anything. He is like a Robot Assassin.

     

    2nd. In the Darth Plageuis, it even states Maul was a tool. Maul was a tool, and Sidious knew Maul would never come close to outranking him. In fact Plageuis even knew it to. Maul's role in the Grand PLan was to reveal the Sith and that was it.

     

     

    And the arguement, Savage is suppose to be Maul's equal and Savage went on a god mode in TCW is a fail. Savage was being empowered by the Night-Sisters.

     

    I think you missed the point of his post. While I agree with the points you made, the problem is those were made after the fact of him being cut in half and having his head blown off my Owen.

     

    I think what he was getting at, is they should have MADE him a more interesting character and NOT a tool.

    THIS! you guys have no idea how easy it is to get gear in this game shuv off...

     

    So basically what you SWG nerds are saying is that they deserve to suffer because you did in a completely unrelated game some time ago? Good thinkin'.
