I'm sick of never getting a ranked pop on my current server.

Oh why do important threads like this die? The same thing has happened on the Bastion since server mergers. This is how it started: Server mergers came. About 6-10 ranked war zone teams competed against each other. (This included some from pub and imp sides.) As time went on, the number of active, competitive teams declined. Now, on a "good night for rwz" it's about 2-3 teams on imp side and maybe 1-2 on pub, if you're lucky. The isolation of not being able to queue against teams on other servers is making what used to be competitive pvp, a stagnant experience at best. If you agree with this or not is a moot point. The fact is, PVP is dieing and one thing that is needed to keep it alive at this point, is CROSS SERVER QUEUES. This topic SHOULD be at the forefront of BW's plans to fix SWTOR. Because if it isn't, a sizable segment of subs will disappear in the next month or so.

Not what he was refering to at all. The state of the operative is a serious issue. Here's how we stand as a class right now. (I'm a soon to be former med op btw) 1) The recent nerfs to conc have destroyed our effectiveness as a burst melee class. What is this type of op supposed to do now? Go roll an assassin? 2) Lethality's mechanics contradict itself to the point where the spec is a clunky, frustrating, mess to play; thus making it a failed design. 3) Then there's healing. Yes, it's true you can still be "viable" as Georg states in the last Q&A, but this in no way makes us any more desirable then a Sorc who can coast through the same content. Not to mention basic talents such as Medical Therapy have been broken since lanuch... The reality is that there's a great exodus of players from this class. No matter if you heal or dps, it just seems that BW has dubbed us the redheaded bastard child of TOR. My advice to anyone thinking of rolling this class, DON'T! You're wasting your time. Why? because BW has shown that they will cater to the whims of the whiners and not the contributors. It will be a long time before this class is even balanced, let alone competitive with the others. So what if you already play an op? Re-roll or quit.

NO! How can I when my class of choice (the operative) has 3 broken trees?

Ops ARE NOT unbeatable. Peeps seriously need to L2P...

I agree with your build except for one part. Instead of taking Narrow Hatred, I'd take those last 3 points, put 2 into Erupting Fury and 1 into Stagger. EF is nice because it's a great way to generate more fury, bringing you that much closer to being able to use berserk, bloodthirst or predation. This leaves one stray point and I figured why not have my stun be half a second longer? If my pvp experience has taught me anything, it's that imp stuns are great for pvp. Nice job with the guide overall
