Snipers need that utility. Play a sniper and see how ridiculous cover is in itself that everyone can kick you out of it. We have a 1 min cd that lets us stay in cover no matter what for 20 seconds but aside from that all you have to do is force choke or stasis a gunslinger or sniper then charge up then.

Republic can have instant project and telekenetic throw hits if they reduce the damage but so far the damage is higher than shock/lightning

Not to be a dick but honestly rank means absolutely nothing as most players that are above 65 have kill traded.

i've opened like 30 and got 4 pieces. It sucks

The cap itself is stupid as hell. Those of us that have life's work all day and when i get home i'm stuck in ilum 2 farming armaments while the rest of empire sits in 1 farming their base getting credit because they are no life losers with no job. Quite upset that i have a life and i have to waste the little amount i get to play farming armaments when i want to pvp.

Any half decent operative or smuggler will use evasion which takes off all negative effects so gg.

If this patch goes through its going to completely ruin operatives and i'm going to be forced to go healing to be of any use. I have a real life a job and a girlfriend and i spend every minute i can leveling and i'm just about to hit 46 here and your already nerfing operative way more than it should be. Can i burst and kill low levels? Yes i can but when i fight anyone with teamwork or my level i die. I could understand the burst nerfs if we were actually given something for sustained damage and defense to go along with it becuase whats the point of sustained damage and being glass dps. I'm far from a bad player but these nerfs really aren't warranted we have had what less than a week in the 50 bracket? I spent so much time leveling my operative and i don't want to go back to my level 33 shadow.

If i run dungeons which i rarely do because of people like this i'm normally the leader and if someone needs on something that isnt their armor class ie bh needing on strength gear i give them one chance and if they do it again they are kicked if you need something another player in the group needs for your companion you are kicked from my group and blacklisted, Players take priority over companions. Yeah my companion is important and i *********** love doctor lokin but i give him my old gear once i upgrade but i would never do something as stupid or greedy as to need a piece of loot to gear one of my other companions when a player needs it. And if i'm not the leader that leader is given an ultimatum to kick the person who did it or lose my respect and the respect of my guild and i leave.

You have the ability just as everyone else to get biochem to 400 if you didnt then thats your stupidy for not taking advantage as you are getting benefits in other places for the crew skills you did indeed choose, you want to pvp? Then pick up biochem otherwise ****

actually your a tard and probably not even a 50. I'm a lvl 29 concealment operative and i can open on a level 10 and have them heal through my damage because i dont have hidden strike yet the class is absolutely useless until you get hidden strike and even at 50 if we don't kill our opponent within the initial burst which requires full consumables or really lucky crits we will lose the fight 9/10 times. Just because your getting rocked by a 50 your also probably a lowbie a nd theyre popping full consumables ontop of you having no pvp gear to defend yourself, once 50s are taken out of the bracket youll see how useless operatives are.

l2p your bad if you are unable to counter. OHMANIGOTOUTPLAYEDNERFTHEM. How about you realise as a tank you can tank nearly a whole team of lower levels while nearly anyone can completely dominate a operative if they catch them out of stealth. You got outplayed admit it or unsub.

I've said it once and i'll say it again. Catch a op/scoundrel outside of stealth and throw a dot and you nullify them. Any premade can dominate and counter them if your too stupid to get a premade together thats your fault

How about no. If you catch a scoundrel/op outside of stealth they are instantly dead next to no survival.
