That doesn't justify the current state of a class being extremely face roll. You shouldn't need "teamwork" to counter a class. Not saying they aren't beatable 1 vs 1, but you guys aren't providing valid points.

Only Operatives are allowed to solo everything.

1. Get better gear.

2. Get better at PVP.
-I would rather pay for a great game than play a poor game for free.
-Viable and worthwhile are not the same when it comes to class design.

Beta tester...loved the game, hate what it has become.

To the person who says Ops aren't support - Fek you. I'm Healing/Lethality spec for PvP since I find a lot of fun playing support/backup DPS than being a one-shot wonder. Not everyone is a rogue-kiddy. And what is this "trinket" I hear everyone talk about? Last time I checked SWTOR doesn't even HAVE a trinket slot.

How does one "get better" against an I-WIN button?
War Hero with a bounty on him by his own faction. Aren't I popular.

The class is straight up OP. It was OP in beta, and it's OP now. I had an 11-12 page post on the beta boards about some simple ways to help balance the class. It was true then, and true now. I'm in full Champ gear, and will start getting BM gear next week.


1. Put a short melee lockout on Vanish. Double Hidden Strike is one of the most OP things in the game.

2. Reduce the "back" positional requirement from the 270ish degrees it is now.

3. Properly fix the OOC issues, and get rid of the instant re-stealth after a kill mechanic.


These things won't fix the huge DPS going out, but they will address the "cheese".

You understand you write completely biased bs?
1. Double strike once a 2 minutes leaving op without escape ability.. yeah rly op.
2. You know it's hard to get from the back sometimes when you see you in the back but server thinks otherwise. Don't try to make other life harder it's disgusting.
3. Make ooc 4 sec like in wow or leave it as it is.

Spoken like someone who has no idea how team PvP works. Of course you want to split damage. Game are won by focus fire. this ability SPLITS fire. This is probably the most important thing a tank-type class can do in PvP. It lets sqishies SHARE your hps! Squishies that can probably HEAL you back. Or do massive DPS to kill the enemy.

I mean, in all seriousness, do you realize how stupid you sound?
