Fidopro Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 Yes maybe a little over-nerfed but still pretty decent at bursting/killing healers. I have been solo pugging BGs for a couple weeks now as a BH healer and was jumped for the first time by an OP yesterday and I didn't even know how to react it was so rare... TLDR operatives are not terribad so roll one im tired of seeing the same classes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LanceUpercutt Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 a lot of people just made an operative because they were overpowered Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabbathius Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 I see tons of operatives being played on my server. Though the class admittedly isn't for everyone. After playing a Carolina Parakeet spec Powertech, I cannot make myself play the Operative. The amount of utility and mobility that I lose, I just can't live with.

Leszor Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 Why would you want to play an Operative as of right now? Its not "broken" or "unplayable" or any other kind of extreme bs idiocy, its simply worse than /shrug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MashTactics Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 I get rolled over by Ops and Scoundrels all the time still. Highest burst damage I've seen in the game. Still can kill me before my resolve bar is filled. What's the problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maradigamer Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 I like my operative. Very situational for making an actual difference, but fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leszor Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 What's the problem? You not being 50, just a shot in the dark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maradigamer Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 You not being 50, just a shot in the dark True, they might suck at 50. Perhaps unlike OP, I never plan to find out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leszor Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 (edited) True, they might suck at 50. Perhaps unlike OP, I never plan to find out. Well, they dont "suck" in the very meaning of the term but... i often find myself thinking "why am i playing this char again when i can login with my Sorc and be more effective at just about anything?!"

Squatdog_nz Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 (edited) There's a degree of skill involved in Operative PVP once you leave stealth, which makes Bad Players choose another class. Here's a good example: http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y74/Squatdog/swtor5.jpg Edited February 20, 2012 by Squatdog_nz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
faiaaar Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 I've been playing a concealment operative since day1 of this game and despite of all the nerfs, i still love my class. Just completed my BM set today and tbh i dont remember the last time i did under 300k dmg on a full warzone game:) i don't mind being seeing as a lesser class from ppl as long as you can prove them wrong. Btw, iam speaking clearly as a pvp player, in pve there is no doubt in my mind concealment dps is lacking and is doing poorly compared to any other dps class.

BoJacK Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 People need to state what server they are on. When the dude that started this thread, he makes it seem like its happening across all servers. Theres been all kinds of classes on my server Beregen. Not huge amounts of any one particular class.

Evuke Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 (edited) the geniuses at failware took operatives, the squishy, low sustained dps, but powerful BURST dps class and nerfed their burst dps to mediocre. so now you have a squishy, low sustained dps, mediocre burst dps class. therefore there is currently no point playing an operative when a merc/sorc can do everything (survive, dps, heal) better than them. if you play a merc/sorc you also have the added bonus of people actually wanting you in groups too.

Xenthum Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 I still love my operative btw, medicine -lethality hybrid. It's really the only viable way to play it right now. Conceal/Leth have worse damage and less utility than basically every other DPS, and Medicine has worse Burst, worse utility, and worse AOE healing than Merc/Sorc.

Aetou Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 Passable at PVP but still probably the weakest class (although my Hybrid does decently enough.) Pretty poor at Endgame PVE due to poor sustained damage and squishy melee limitations without any proper movement skills. Hmm, I wonder why not all that many people are rushing out there to level their scoudrels/ops to 50? Currently there is no real reason to make a Scoundrel/Op if you are interested in being hyper-competitive. Mostly BH/Sorcs with a few Assassins for stealth utility is just so much stronger. In PVE take one Sniper for the buff and solid ranged dps, a Juggernault as your main tank then add 3-4 Sorcs and 2-3 Bounty Hunters. In my PVP dream team I'd at least take one Operative along with a Darkness Assassin (a very fun and nasty pair fighting out of stealth together with the Op offhealing) but then the rest of the team would again be BH and Sorcs. Operatives/Scoundrels are by no means useless or broken, well geared ones played well can make useful contributions... they'll just never be as amazing as another equally geared class in the hands of the same player.
