momentum Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 I just got to 10 on my IA and was planning to play op so I could heal. For leveling I was wondering if I can play as a ranged class still as an operative. Concealment looks pretty much like pure melee stealth rogue stuff. Lethality though looks like it has some range and doesn't really just increase melee stuff. So, is there a such thing as a ranged operative? Would it even be any good?

Most of our damage comes from close range with our blade skills. Even for Lethality. If you wanted range you should have gone Sniper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you wanted range you should have gone Sniper. I haven't actually picked yet...which is why I'm asking now. I know sniper is all range, but can you be ranged at all in operative? I don't mind using melee now and then, I'm just wondering if operative can be not 100% melee...i dont want to be a wow rogue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torethril Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 Operatives have a bare-bones set of ranged attacks. I assume they are mostly for kiting in PvP and doing some DPS in PvE during situations where you can't get to your target. In terms of WoW class comparison, I feel that the Operative is more similar to a Druid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have range abilites in cover.. outside it you have only corrosive dart and the grenade that have any real range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
