they nerfed dots stopping capping because they persisted through death and imo that was a good change...
bioware didn't want to go the other way for whatever reason... ie dots stopped on the operative's death ...
by contrast, they didn't nerf orbital strike or plasma probe because they DO end on the sniper's death... it's not like snipers have ever been invincible or hard kills (glass cannons)...
how can you exploit an ability when everyone (except you apparently) has known for the last 8 months that area denial is the whole point of the ability...
now let me put the question to you... say they nerf it like you want... what is the point of the ability? it would be useless once again... a top tier 31 pt ability that is useless... good job... way to ruin a viable sniper tree...
if a plasma probe is preventing a capture, should you:
1. stand in the middle of the probe and try to cap the door?
or
2. go kill the sniper?
once again, learn to play...
(and for the record, i'm a MM sniper... i don't even have the ability...)
