Killallthejuice Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 So what do you guys think? Which class lvls better/faster and which one has better end game/pvp possibilities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neurosisxeno Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 Assassin's are due for a buff, and Operatives are recieving a heavy nerf. I would go with the first option personally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanSeacrest Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 You can't spell operative without op. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattdoommaster Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 Operative can DPS or heal - Assassin can DPS or tank - what secondary role do you prefer? They also couldn't be more different in terms of flavor. No reason why that shouldn't be part of what you pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auxili Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 Assassin's are due for a buff, and Operatives are recieving a heavy nerf. I would go with the first option personally. They have better sustained damage, can do 4k crits outside of stealth on geared opponents (project), have boatloads more utility (aoe knockback, aoe taunt, sprint, finisher move, RANGED stun), and better defensive cooldowns. Do scoundrels/operatives have these things? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wattser Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 I have Leveled both to 50, and interms of leveling, the assassin was easier to level. I did it in tank spec so DPS was not as high as an Op, but Elites were simple, you could group up mobs and AoE them all down. And since almost every mob you encounter is a group it makes questing easy, all those kill 20 quests are fast. Ops can burn down single mobs faster, but I found myself relying a lot more on my companion as an Op than assassin. Op I used tank pet, assassin I used Range DPS pet. Both have good stories and are fun to play. But honestly think about what role you would rather fall back on either tank or healer, if DPS gets nerfed or something like that. That way you are sure to enjoy the class if things change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
