Operative PvP video 10k crits. WOW

People are just obsessed with numbers. Most don't realize that once the Operative opener is done the operative is worthless. My first 50 was an operative and while it was fun insta-gibbing undergeared lowbies, you don't typically take a geared 50 under half his health on your opener...and once you're out of stealth your damage is just awful, especially if the player is good and doesn't let you backstab.

i love the part when he heals himself, pretty balanced

I have been messed up pretty bad by operatives. That said, we do need to wait for the brackets before a clearer view of class balance can be seen.

I would imagine that is Bioware's plan as well.

Brackets are the first step to more balanced game play.


EDIT: I do fear ops more then any other class at the moment.

Here's the thing... Using Rogues as an example:

An opener should set the tone of the fight, nothing more.

An opener shouldn't be your end-all way to win the fight.


Rogues have 3 openers: Cheap Shot (a stun), Ambush (burst damage), or Garrote (a silence).

That's how they set the tone of the fight. Their big damaging moves actually come from their out of stealth abilities: Backstab, Hemorrhage, Eviscerate, Mutilate, Envenom etc...

What they need to do with Operatives is give us more options.


Let us choose:

Do I want to silence this Sage that's constantly healing?
Do I want to spike damage open on this light armored class?
Or do I want to stun somebody trying to carry the ball?

The problem with Operative now is our opener does all 3 pretty much and is our only means of really taking chunk damage.

The entire class needs reworked, imo.

I can do that much damage on my assassin if you give me 10 seconds .

Are assassins balanced and everybody else is OP or are we just UP?

Not an attack, just curiosity. Your signature. "Any man who appeals to the law against his fellow man is either a fool or a coward. Any man who cannot take care of himself without that law is both. "

Is that an anarchy motto? Trying to place where this is from.

It's the Omerta. The Italian mafia's code of silence. Basically meaning: fight your own battles.

Gotcha. Neat, thank you.

Have watched this guy on Stmp's stream a bit and he's a pretty bloody good Operative and well geared. They play in a group too, so he is definitley getting help here.

Its not OP's/JC's its stacking buffs that allow them to hit this hard. It's not the class its the stacking of buffs that need's to be fixed.
