Let me give you my Level 50 Concealment Operative PvP experience

Tsk tsk, being alone when an Operative is around.

Survive the burst with gear and defensive abilities and get 10+ meters away from us. Now what do we do?

Ok, so again, the solution for someone to be able to handle a single operative...is to bring at least 2 people to handle 1? You don't see how that's the opposite of what balanced means?

Besides, your burst is BETTER in groups. With any sort of supporting damage at all, that opener is pretty much a gib, never mind if you have 2 people opening.

Oh, and defensive abilities? Again, I'm expected to have 2-3 min CD's up EVERY TIME one of the 5 operatives in every damn Warzone opens up on me? That...doesn't make sense either.

10+ meters away from you? Ok, so if I'm a melee class the ONLY WAY to deal with you 1v1 is to hope my trinket is up, hope my defensive CD's are up, hope I didn't die to the burst anyway, and then just flee and hope you don't catch me eventually?

"Balanced"...I'm not sure that word means what you think it means.

This post seems like a ruse to me

If it is true that vanguards are hard for you to take down (which most posts here contradict) you would have a problem with a tank being resilient to melee attack?
That's what they are supposed to do.

This post is an attempt at subterfuge to keep OP abilities

Just restealth if you run into trouble if you are invisible (not targetable) you are invincible and that's how you would like it to stay.

You are just trying to keep your OP abilities. Quite sad. You mention these 4k crits and Operatives have many abilities that easily crit for 2k+ almost every single time after their opener as well and now your complaining about being brought out of stealth??? LOL

try leveling and playing a 50 shadow/assassin. We dont even get an ability that does half that damage as your opener and we dont crit as often

So you don't have your trinket up, and you don't have any of your 2-3 minute CDs up? Looks like you got caught with your pants down, boy. Now take it from behind like a man. *stab*stab*

So maybe once every 2 minutes (if I didn't use the trinket on something else important) then MAYBE I can have a shot. Sure. Keep telling yourself how good you are, Eddy Gordo.

You run back up over to them because you have a talented permanent 15% movement speed bonus?

Once AGAIN, people need to actually level up and PLAY a level 50 concealment operative.

Last night I got steamrolled BADLY, especially by Republic in Voidstar. My openers were critting for 4-5k, but still could only get some people down to half health, shiv, lacerate, shiv lacerate hitting for 500-700. Then...I get stormed, steamrolled...reset and restart.

Stealth, walk up behind someone...boom someone does an AoE...stealth broken, stormed, steamrolled....dead.

Stealth, find someone half health...walk up behind...oh wait they have a bubble. Do I fight or find someone else? No one else around. Fight. AB/HS...Absorbed....Backstab, Shiv, Lacera....his friends storm, steamroll, dead.

Ok let's try again. =)

Stealth, find someone with bubble down. AB/HS...5k crit, Backstab 3k crit, Shiv, Lacerate, Shiv....dead. Finally!!


Point of post?

It's not all just 5k, 3k, 3k, 3k dead like some of you are spewing on these forums. We get steamrolled VERY easily. We got destroyed badly by Republic in like 3 back to back matches and we have pretty good teamwork.

Vanguard's DESTROY us. Stealth opener barely dents them at all, then it's game over for Operative. Not to mention other classes like Assassin's and Sorc's that we have much trouble against even doing our openers. They have alot of knockbacks and pushes that take us right out of the fight.

TL;DR?

Roll a 50 Operative first and see how it is. Everything needs to go perfect for us to have those 4-5 shot crits. Relic, Exp, Gear, Stealth not broken by AoE's or knockbacks, etc.

Anyways...peace.

You can either adapt or be fodder. Coming here to whine about it makes me think you're leaning towards the latter.

I also used to own kids playing Eddy Gordo with King. So lol @ that metaphor.
