MarcusElliott Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 (edited) Is there anything instant to prevent operative/scoundrel stealth? That crap sure seems like an extra slap in the face when you rarely get them low in health, if their dmg isn't enough op.

Lerdoc Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 Put a dot on them. This or something with delayed damage like sticky grenade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fest Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 Bounty Hunters and Commandos also have a stealth detection ability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galloren Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 The majority of scoundrel damage comes from running up close to a meat grinder in paper thin armor. If we didnt have get away abilities, we would never survive. btw The ability that allows them to stealth in combat has a long cooldown, and the stealth can still be broken.

Vlaid Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 This or something with delayed damage like sticky grenade. Well I play Assault spec so I get both....and stealth scan! Assassins only give me trouble if my trinket is on CD, otherwise it's free kill (1v1). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabbathius Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 The majority of scoundrel damage comes from running up close to a meat grinder in paper thin armor. If we didnt have get away abilities, we would never survive. Not EXACTLY true. Armor-wise Operatives are medium. That's not paper-thin. It's the same stuff Marauders wear, and they don't even have stealth. Plus defensive abilities, such as Evasion, Shield Probe, etc., can extend our longevity. Talented Stim Boost also heals for like 4% HP every 3 seconds? That's decent. Sure when we get focused with no defensive CDs, we melt fast. But so does anything else. The ability that allows them to stealth in combat has a long cooldown, and the stealth can still be broken. It's long-ish, but not long. 3 mis untalented, 2 mins talented. Same as the CC-breaker. And OP, to answer your question, there's a lot of things that break stealth. If he vanishes right on top of you, and you have something like an AoE knockback or griound-targeted ability, use it, it'll knock him right back out. Any DoT will break him out as well. Though smart ones will use Evasion to remove the DoT before vanishing, thanks to Avoidance Training (lvl 24). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lokivoid Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 Is there anything instant to prevent operative/scoundrel stealth? That crap sure seems like an extra slap in the face when you rarely get them low in health, if their dmg isn't enough op. If there using a "vanish" ability, Stealth detection wont get them. Best option is to dot them or a form of delayed damage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ya they do, they have a 4 second vanish on a 45 second cooldown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best option is to dot them or a form of delayed damage. So, most classes are sol then, because I don't have dots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarcusElliott Posted December 30, 2011 Author Share Posted December 30, 2011 Bounty Hunters and Commandos also have a stealth detection ability. It's too slow, if it even works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarcusElliott Posted December 30, 2011 Author Share Posted December 30, 2011 Essentially you could have an entire team filled with scoundrels/operatives, and never lose. You got your dps who can get away, and your healers who can get away. What happened to a class system again? How about some limitations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
