Operative PvP video 10k crits. WOW

No he cannot, demolition round has 15 sec cooldown, you need to use 3 grav rounds before it, which takes 4,5 seconds (more actually due to trooper damage/animation crap)

enough said

from the player himself in the vid, Shock horror.

Lets be realistic, I have NEVER been killed on my 50 assassin by any other class 1v1 during the opener phase....... the knock down/stun/ or any other form off cc initiation spell to be more precise. But wait for it, these rules seemingly do not apply to the operative/smuggler. Hell, my own 2 second pitiful damaged opener is garbage... They however are the only class whom seemingly have this rare ability which according to any operative/smuggler, is working well within reason.

Sure, I'm only half champ gear but come on. Others who apparently have full champ gear and are tanks to say the least, experience this apparent strange phenomenon as the majority who post here. I think its time this class acknowledges this clear imbalance and be realistic for a second.

I read a post where someone stated that people cry nerf, but never offer solutions. Well, here's one, remove acid blade, the proc'd effect which reduces the targets armour by 50%. They will still get huge crits without it like every other class, more so with their huge crit chance, but their crits become normalized and within reason.

God... If my assassin had a proc'd percentage based armour debuff.......

Having not played the class and basing my opinion of it through playing against them and through reading how full champ tanks are getting rolled, this is the obvious nerf. Armour factor clearly means nothing to this class.

If my understanding of how their armour debuff works is way off, please correct me.

This isn't possible with any normal Operative. hes using stims like a boss. Any normal Operative (ala like me) hits at max 4.8k on a Hidden strike on a hugely debuffed target.

^ lol that is way more broke than a single target hit. Lawl. Hey guys a 40k aoe to is perfectly balanced.

pretty much /thread

lol @ "operative destroying highly geared opponents" then everyone is lvl 30

The player himself admits it is borked.

It is borked.

I, like many of you, was VERY skeptical that any class was honestly OP, because forumtards like to whine all day about. Just for some background, I'm a always #1 (on my team) deception sin that never gets less than 7 medals a game, I have over 500 expertise. I don't find troopers overpowered, or consulars, or any of the classes you'll see complained about. But I'm sorry, the operative openers are too strong. It's not even the CLASS, it's the OPENERS.

99% of operatives suck. But the ones that don't, **** even me. Now, I do very very well in 1v1. There are very few people on my server that can beat me in a fair fight. But the other day I pissed off an operative and he stalked me for an entire warzone. I have 15k hp, 14% defense, and 26% absorb. He 3-4 shot me about 7-8 times in one game. I got to attack back for about 2 attacks on average. The only way I ever killed him was to watch him **** an ally and then assjam his fight.

I'm not a gray lowbie, I am a very nasty assassin, and I get 3-4 shot without being able to move.

Operative opens on you
cc break
Force cloak - immune to damage for 3 seconds
CS
CS
3 seconds are up
low slash
if he cc breaks then stun and go to town
if he doesn't force potency+relic project+shadowstrike/force breach
spinning strike to finish him off

don't think most operatives are gonna be able to kill you in the time it takes you to force breach/spinning strike.

amen brother.

So you need to trinket vs a class to stand a chance? Are you serious? No, thats not imbalanced. pft lmao
