clearly operatives in SWTOR.

as for WoW, I find any healer/hybrid (when played well) to be the most 'overpowered' simply because of their ability to basically do everything.

But I don't find any class in WoW to be overpowered really. A good player can make you curse the heavens just by skill.

SWTOR, however, has an overpowered class in their stealth/burst build. If you look at ANY MMO ever, stealth/burst classes are evil if they catch you alone, but they need to play smart and not get caught by more than 1-2 players.

In this game, their damage (when geared) is so outrageous and while squishier than most other classes are still WAY too HP heavy for a burst class, that they are clearly overpowered.

Not to mention they can talent into an ability to insta-stealth and remove all DoTs. Most absurd game mechanic ever. If it was a 10 minute timer or something as a "OH NO!" ability that's one thing. As it is, it makes the classic counter for cloth wearers (DoTs) irrelevant against their rock/paper class of rogues/operatives.

But this has been said 40000 times.

Age of Conan Demonologist right after 1.5 patch, ToS storm crown in 1.4 patch, Guardians just prior to BV nerf.

Warhammer- Witch elf burst and Chosen Touch of Palsy at launch. Bright Wizard AoE spam for most of the first 6 months of the game.

Any of the above are way worse than any operative/sorc ability in SWTOR.

Rag warrior at level 60 using whirlwind? Pretty much obvious. Geared warriors twoshot pretty much every other class in the game, all the time, with spammable abilities.

None of you remember how bad shadow priests were for the first 4-6 months of WoW... ungodly.
