Scoundrels/Operatives ridculously OP.

Last I checked WoW launch with 0 Warzones to ToR's 3 with a 4th coming in March. And in every MMO I have played the Stealth class is usually the one thats broken, they were in WoW, LOTRO, and Aion.

Never have I seen so much outcry in my decade give or take of MMO experience about a single class/spec being massively OP.

I want a dev response on operatives.

# Statements that we hate a specific class or faction, or that we intentionally underbalance certain classes to make it less popular are conspiracy theory territory. We have nothing to gain from such an approach – we want players to pick the class and faction they want to play and have confidence that they are able to perform their chosen role in the game. Anything that comes in the way of that goal is considered a balance issue for us.
# We make our balancing decisions based on a combination of internal and external testing and metrics. We don't make decisions based on who is the loudest on the forums. Community feedback is valuable in bringing issues to our attention and even to highlight possible solutions, which means that well written, constructive posts are the most effective way to communicate your wishes and feedback to us, rather than petitions and calls to nerf specific classes.
# Please understand that balance issues during the leveling process are different than issues at level 50 and are handled in different ways. If you feel your class has issues during your journey to 50, especially communicate the level range and area of the game where you are experiencing issues to aid our investigations. Player versus Player situations in during the leveling process are not always balanced at every level (a mathematical impossibility), but we are always willing to investigate.
# Just because we haven't mentioned the specific issue close to your heart in a post (such as the one above) doesn't mean we are unaware of it or that we don't want to address it. It would be impractical for us to comment on all investigations currently in the pipeline. That said, we definitely want to take a more open approach in regards to upcoming class changes.

Wouldn't be that hard for the ops to win. If a pair go after both the tank and his guard target then the tank will die within seconds since hell be taking so much damage with the healer unable to do anything since he is CC'd as well.

Found this to be relevant to your request (from this thread):

So you're telling me none of you could break out of his cc?

How hard is it for them to understand the problem with Operatives/Scounds? They do too much burst damage period. Their openers hit to hard. Their constant backstabs cost too little for the incredible damage it outputs.

What more needs to be said? It's very simple: This class is doing WAY too much damage.
