Operative PvP video 10k crits. WOW

I just got out of a warzone where one reached half a mil dmg. Can I have whatever you're smoking?

I actually really enjoyed this video, it was well produced! The effects were well synced to his music and there was actually a semblance of a plot to the video, eg: how rolling an op can make a good player a god-mode player and popular too!

Max kills I have had are 50 as a BH Merc but I have to say when operative attacks me after breaking stealth I die instantly. cant run. I think I need to roll one too just for pvp haha

Like I care about saving my class. Lol? If Bioware has half a brain they'll be patient about any big nerfs on classes and evaluate how these classes are doing in rated WZs.

You likely have a long way to go before Operatives even have a chance at being nerfed. And even then, people want Acid Blade completely removed, or Hidden Strike damage nerfed by 50%, or some other ridiculous nerf. You know that won't happen, right? It'll be something reasonable like 10% on Hidden Strike, and it will be given a modest 10-15s cooldown so Operatives can't Hidden Strike > Cloaking Screen > Hidden Strike right away.

Which means, Operatives are still going to ruin the forum QQers. Doh!

This isn't the case at all.

Firstly, only the DPS spec for any class will do anything close to a 6K Crit. My Kinetic-based Shadow doesn't do any crit remotely near 6K.

Secondly, you are wrong. Even the DPS specs of any class don't pull off 6K+ Crits, and even if a few of them do, it's a fairly rare event. What was demonstrated by the OP has been done, over and over again, repeatedly by other players of the same class. That type of 6K+ consistency is a problem and certainly not shared by any other classes in the game. The fact that massive crits can stack on top of each other just makes the matter worse.

At this stage in the game, any Crit over 6K+ in PvP is stupid and poor game design.

You are wrong. As I stated in my response above, this is certainly not something that every class can do. Please show me the screenshots or vids of other classes hitting for a 10K crit. Please show me screenshots or vids of other classes critting for 9K. I can easily produce evidence of this specific class doing 9K+ crits on other occasions. The fact that they can then follow the initial 9K or 10K with another 6K+ crit is even more asinine.

Sorry, but a nerf is needed. These over the top Crits are what is stupid and have no place in the current game aside from ezmode facerolling.

You dispute my statements? Then show me the evidence to support your argument. Show me other classes critting for 9K. And no, I don't want to hear the anecdotal bs about how your cousin's sister friend's brother hit for 9K the other day in a WZ under a blue moon at high tide while rubbing his rabbit's foot. Screenshot, Vid or it didn't happen.

Also people need to chill on the raging and bickering at each other. It should be abundantly clear to all of us (unless you don't pvp at all or visit these forums) that there is something broken, how much of it is op mechanics or buffs....well thats for the devs to decide.

I was mad at first too, the insistence of others that there is no issue only added to it; but now, its just sort of a spectacle and getting entertaining to see "JUST HOW HIGH CAN AN OP CRIT?!?!!" lol

Tell that to all the Witchhunter players who played Warhammer after they got hit by the nerf bat. That class was hardly playable in pvp after that and never recovered. Bioware has many Mythic devs... I'm gonna laugh my *** off if that happens to you guys. Only reason why I haven't rolled an Op/Scoundral yet is cause I'm afraid of what the nerf is gonna be like.

I love how people think a game where the primary balance focus will always be PVE in some way is going to be completely balanced for PVP as well.

Nerfing something like the burst damage for a burst damage class because it 1-shots undergeared people in PVP would then require a whole round of balance changes to then keep that class viable in PVE.... which then would break other things for some to cry about in PVP.... causing another round of PVP/PVE balance changes which goes in cirlces forever.

I've always played PVP since UO, Rallos Zek EQ, DAOC, Vanguard, WAR, WoW, etc. There is one constant that I've just come to accept. Game devs don't focus on PVP. We are the minority of the playerbase. They won't break the PVE gameplay/balance to satisfy PVP concerns.

Overnerfs from bad player QQ. Yep, it happens.

I fought plenty of Witch Hunters and owned their faces in with my White Lion and my Ironbreaker in WAR. Yawn.

considering witch hunters were the same faction as white lions and ironbreakers.... and there were no duels in war... i'd love to know how you pulled this off
