Toffle Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Never roll a pure DPS class. They are always nerfed. Grab a tank or something similar. They usually get buffs and end up dominating. You are welcome for the free advice. Oh and the acid blade nerf will really hurt you. I'm sorry. What is the next class you are playing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crawler Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 operative is actually a hybrid - sniper and marauder are pure dps. and i agree SWTOR got lots of medics incoming, expect the first one to grab ball/cap node to be the winer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Findulidas Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Never roll a pure DPS class. Thats not true, I remember warhammer where the big tanky orc class was op to start with and was nerfed and many more. You are just making this up. Also Im staying operative healer just like before. You obviously have no idea about the class your talking about since its dps/healer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toffle Posted January 21, 2012 Author Share Posted January 21, 2012 If you are a "hybrid" build as an operative, you aren't doing much DPS. Operatives are an "either or" class. You heal or you dps. You CAN do both but this nerf won't affect you as you won't have hidden strike and acid blade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exLupo Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Please expand your definition of "Hybrid". As it stands, most people define hybrid as "can do two roles at once" or "can re/dual-spec to another role". Also, please provide examples of "can do two roles at once" type builds in recently (past 5 years) produced MMOs. As you are concerned with hybrid healer/dps Op builds sucking, limit your examples to ones that do not also suck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toffle Posted January 21, 2012 Author Share Posted January 21, 2012 If you go to 31 points in the concealment tree, you are not a hybrid. This nerf most affects those people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exLupo Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 (edited) Please name one hybrid in any modern MMO so that people know an example of what you find acceptable. You have ruled out all pure DPS specs, regardless of respec options. Start from there as your baseline. edit: Unless, of course, you are seriously telling people to only ever roll Tank, Heal and Support specs. If that's the case then don't reply to me or, if possible, anyone else ever. Edited January 21, 2012 by exLupo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torkepl Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Since when OPs are pure DPS class? You have healing tree. Marauder and Merc are pure dps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not a pure DPS class unlike the gunslinger which ISN'T going to be nerfed in the next patch. Don't think healers and tanks can't be nerfed by the way. Seen it many times in other MMOs.

xTyphoidx Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 The archmage and warrior priest in warhammer were attempts at hybrids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexishomer Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 the lesson is - if you are rolling a dps - always roll a RANGED dps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
