The Operative Nerf Wouldn't be Fair

I am an Op Medic only. I love healing and usually hang back and make sure everyone is alive. I usually pop evasion if I'm taking hits, and usually throw in a corrosion dart on all enemies to tick em. I don't PVP, and probably won't seriously do it very often.

If they were to nerf Op I think it would have to do with the other skill trees. I hope they leave medic where it is. I'm not here to do damage, I am here to keep you alive.

I just want you to LOVE me!!

Everyone seems to be ignoring my comment here, any justification for this, since I'm an actual 50 in pvp gear saying they're near 2 shotting me?

This doesn't seem likely, as most classes will experience a nerf in some manner or another in the future, maybe not the near future...

2-3 shotting someone just because you "Got the jump on them" is completely

Assassins don't 2-3 shot players and are fine. You don't need to be overpowered
to be good.
I've been playing WoW for years. Played Rift after that. This type of class works the same way in every game. The entire point is that they CAN essentially take you out if they are allowed to control the situation.

You learn to use abilities to break stealth. Try it. Practice. It becomes second nature. They only get one shot to get that real burst of damage off.

I'd have to see a screenshot to believe it, highest crit I've ever seen is 3.5k. Given we have no real combat log it's just he said she said but I'm highly skeptical that that actually happened.

This, it's why I despise PVP even though I like doing it. I wish MMO's had two completely different sides of the game for PVP and PVE. PVP effectively neutered WoW and made every class homogenous, and it will do so here, too.

This has got to be the single most outdated and glaring development issue facing all MMO's today. The first team to get this part right will have a real winner on their hands.

Hah, you honestly haven't seen Operatives 6k+ crits on geared players? I think
you should research this subject a bit more.

If there is any class imbalance, making abilities damage change for pvp is simple to impliemt and is done in other games already.

I assume you are talking about your Shadow> If is opening moves left you at 30%, assuming you react quickly, you should have an entire array of abilities to use on him while he is on cool down.

IF you choose to go to the Op forum, there are a lot of helpful threads on Counter Strategies to Ops... but, no, people want to post Nerf threads in the most balanced MMO I have ever played in General Discussion...

Because rather than looking for a working solution, or you know, the truth... they would rather gripe about how they lost to the Op when the Op 2 shot them with a knife and by pulling a shark with a laser beam from their pocket...
