Zatachi Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 Experienced rogue-player from WoW, played stealthies most of my life over all the games I've played, but I played BH on this game because I'm an avid fan of the Mandalorians. But I figure I might as well milk this game for what it's worth in regards to DPS classes. So, whats the best stealth in pvp, who takes who out quicker, who has the most utility, etc. Ops or Assassins. Go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I figure I might as well milk this game for what it's worth in regards to DPS classes. So, whats the best stealth in pvp, who takes who out quicker, who has the most utility, etc. Ops or Assassins. Go. Shadows/sins are a lot better right now. Hybrid shadow/assassin have way more utility and much better sustained damage. Their our of stealth burst is not as much as the scoundrel but they will do more damage over a 15-20s fight. Sins have: Sprint, Stealth, Pull, Knock back, stun, slow, mez, zap, immunity for 5s, vanish, high armor, two taunts, guard Only thing that scoundrels/ops have over sins is out of stealth damage is much higher, can heal If you are on the repub side, I'm going to have to say that there is something awsome about uncloaking and putting a shot gun round in the back of someone head at point blank range then continuing bum rap e them while they are down .

Zatachi Posted August 3, 2012 Author Share Posted August 3, 2012 Personally I prefer running around someone and shanking them multiple times. I find it a be more hillarious. So Sins huh? I'll have to give them a shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Important to note that for pvp the power spec is tank/sin, the dps trees of sins Inf/Dec are terribly squishy, second only to sorcs but with no bubble. Ops has better survivablity than dps/sins, but the tank/sin is hard to kill and does decent sustained damage. So your a tank that can stealth, it's not the same as being a rouge in wow.

coldserpent Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 If you're looking for playstyle similar to a WoW rogue, go with Concealment Operative. The Assassin plays more closely to an old style enhancement shaman with stealth added as opposed to a rogue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aehgo Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 I think Ops concealment>Deception Assassin Ops heal>Tanksin Ops lethality<Madness assassin Ops hybrid<Tank hybrid. Both have good reasons to play./ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xerain Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 I think Ops concealment>Deception Assassin Ops heal>Tanksin Ops lethality<Madness assassin Ops hybrid<Tank hybrid. Both have good reasons to play./ I disagree... i think Deception Assassin is better. Deception Assassins damage majority isn't right out of stealth and it doesn't just drop, operatives run out of steam really fast and that's the problem with them as far as DPS goes. Both are really squishy At least Sin can keep putting out damage that is decent after that opening burst. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blasphemerr Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 Deception is waaay better than concealment. Though, both require a level of sanity that enables you to endure the near instantaneous defeats at times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ahhmyface Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 (edited) Depends on context. For 1v1, concealment. For huttball, assassin. For big brawls? Both suck, but assassin can aoe taunt before he gets squashed. For being stealthy, concealment. Flashbang > overload Frontloaded burst > backloaded burst Sleep dart > Mind trap For the things that they have in common, concealment all the way.
