Scoundrels/Operatives ridculously OP.

Almost unbelieveable that 2 lvl 50ies with pvp gear loose to just one lvl 50. Are you sure you were not way lower in lvl ?

The problem isn't Operative or damage, the problem is HEALING.

I'm playing a healing Operative, and I have a slightly lower level healing Merc. And this is true with quite a few classes.

If I get a Marauder on top of my Operative healer, I can live for a little while as I pop my two defensive CDs, or I can try to escape with the cloak, but I cannot just stand there and outheal his damaage. Same goes for a Merc that spams tracers and then does a heatseeker/unload/rail combo when I'm debuffed.

Healing in this game, especially in PvP, needs some serious changes to make it attractive. I mean, look at the medals. Healers get absolutely SHAFTED in the medals department. We get what, one for a 2.5k+ heal and one for 75k and what else? Nothing. Meanwhile, DPS classes get one for a kill, one for solo kill, one for 10 kills, one for 20 kills, one for 75k damage, etc. Most matches as DPS you get 5+ without even trying. As a tank, you get 7+ just for keeping guard up on people.

As a healer I have abandon my chosen role and go on a killing spree mid-match just to get the same commendations as a tracer-missile-spamming moron.

I am currently a level 21 Operative. I am seriously overpowered. I can usually kill people up through the 40's.

I pop out of stealth with a massive 1,500 backstab. A 1,200 Shiv and 1,300 Lacerate later and my target starts running. I sometimes have problems with range but, I can usually keep up the Backstab/Shiv/Lacerate stuff until they die.

Occasionally, my opponents will do something really cheap. They turn around so I can't backstab. I am then forced to use Debilitate (Knife Stun) so I can get behind them.

The reality of the situation is this: I shouldn't be killing level 40's on my Operative. I understand that my teen level greens and blues mean I am overgeared and my awesome PvP strategies make it worse but, other people should not be forced to resort to cheap turning-the-hell-around techniques, cheating by using their CC removal skill, or exploiting by using a health consumable. Operatives need a nerf.

how is it cheap that they turn around to avoid your backstab?

/agree

For us to be gods in pvp we would need a gab closer, but we dont so we got damage. end of story.

Warriors got there charge to get back into battle. sins got there speed boost. sorcs, merc BHs and snipers got insane range. powertech BHs got graple. what do Ops have.....nothing. You knock us off a ledge in huttball and we have to run all they way back up at normal run speed cause we are in combat, by the time we get back up the fight is either over or has moved some where else.
