Operatives officially the worst class ingame


Labradoraki

Recommended Posts

AFTER the main nerf on acid blade and stun duration operatives were the weakest class since ANYONE could kill them due to their squishiness and ALSO didnt do enough damage to kill someone else in time....

 

Now you added a stupid surge nerf so the damage goes down EEEVEEEEN MOAR so they will not be able to even kill a new lvl 50 without gear....

 

thank you bioware for being so intelligent as usual

"Buu huu I can't faceroll anymore" is all I read here.

 

And now, since we're done here, you can proceed to make thread about how tracer missile is up and needs a buff because merc is weakest class.

The only reason operatives were value to the team was they could faceroll.

Take facerolling away, there is no reason to play them or another class.

 

Every other class brings more to the table.

 

Valor 65 Operative here. I now run a fresh 50 powertech and i have way more influence in how games turnout. I can make a difference in the battle now.

Didn't they all complain about the last nerf?

 

Until they realized they could stunlock people now....

 

OPs are the biggest QQ'rs I know

Oh lord. Because it takes 4 hits to kill someone instead of 2 the class sucks now right?

 

To the OP: how is knockdown "*****", "*****" DEATH a balanced attack? Or are you incapable of fighting anyone who can fight back?

Wrong. You still have an alpha strike, it is just more like the shadow's instead of insta death.

 

My two main characters are a Sage and a Shadow. I use my Shadow to guard turrets, etc, all the time and hold off the attackers long enough for reinforcement. You can do the same. But if facerolling is that important to you go play DCUO or some other screwed up game with tons of exploits.

Exactly. And you can argue that even THIS is still overpowered. But the surge nerf was probably done to address this.

l2p operatives and stop crying because on op with top gear and all cooldowns up 4shotted you... 90% of the time the operatives suck since the dont use adrenals or cooldowns

With 600 expertise fighting a fresh lvl50 sage I can do about 50% of their total health in damage after 4 hits.

When I meet a character with equal gear, I cannot beat them, regardless of their class. Worst of all, against tank classes and marauders I cannot even take away 50% of their health at all.

 

As of now the only thing we can do is taking out characters on half health who run away from the pack. We can't even go healing cause both mercs and sorcs are better at that too.

 

I don't really understand that we do subpar damage, but have a massively low amount of defense, armor and otherwise survivability all because of stealth, which doesn't give us any real benefit to begin with?

All of you who say operatives/scoundrels are fine, obviously play either a sorcerer or bounty hunter. Zergfest warzones like all 3 of them are, are nothing like the "PvP" videos of highlight killing 1 lowgeared player with all the buffs ingame on 3 hits.

 

In voidstar you are 24/7 stuck in combat, and guess what class does the *******st damage ingame in a zergfest like that, scoundrels and operatives. It doesn't matter if you can take 50% off of someones health in few seconds when attacking from stealth, the other player doesn't need more than 50% hp to kill you.

 

But that's something **** sorcerers and bountyhunters like most of you dont realize, buuu huuu i get facerolled when i only spam missiles and lighting they're so overpowered those stealthers!111

 

Operatives and scoundrels are the least played class ingame by a mile for a reason. If you think otherwise then go choke on your lightning missiles.

Check his post history. He thinks tracer missile and sorc need buffs. Its clear as sky that its the latter.

Try healing as a scoundrel or op if youre dpsing fails you so bad.

Who knows maybe youll do well, you dont need your silly stealth for healing after all.

You can stealth away if you dont have any dots while you do so even, kick some balls, knock some lights out with a bang, prevent people from running away. Theres plenty of skills you can use as a healer smug/op that doesn't require cover or stealth in the slighest.

And you will still be a credit to your team. Though managing energy is a bit hard I heard compared to the others, but that's were your challenge will lie.

Qqing about it won't solve it either way. Either try another role, instead of the "faceroll" one or better yet play a different class.

Oh yeah, try that on a battlemaster geared sith inquisitor healer with shield + guard (AND THEY ALWAYS HAVE SHIELD AND GUARD UP, I SWEAR).

Now I know you are trolling. I'm a medical op and I have a lot of fun playing it in PvP but we are clearly the red-headed step-child of healing classes for a host of reasons (lack of movement-knockbacks/difficult resource management/poor burst healing/ no "oh ****" abilities/ poor survivability/ escape mechanism (vanish) effectivley takes you out of the game for 10 seconds even if it works).

Was ops/scoundrels real dependant on surge too? If so that sux... I hated getting two shotted by ops but this kinda nerfing to a stealth dependant class is silly.

 

Unfortunately MMO DEVS can't seem to figure out how to balance rogue classes no matter the game. They use the same tired designs and ultimately end up shafting their consumers who enjoy that archetype... I think if they make them less bursty out of stealth and allow them to get into stealth more often/sooner would be a good start at addressing the class, but just nerfing DMg is FAIL on so many levels... The issue is design not DMg. IMO

Then there is something totally wrong...

 

Cause the dps a shadow / assassin does INCREASES after the first 3 cooldowns, while for the operative it's the other way round. :o

Stop trying to solo everyone and work as a team. If you take an enemy down to 50% and your buddies do the rest, you win.

I'm enjoying my healing Scoundrel now more than ever, thank you. Surge nerf, while seemingly insignificant, has noticeably increased my survivability versus focusfire.
