Operative/Scoundrel Damage (Pics from WZs)

The problem is I do not see that happening. I've seen this sort of behavior from devs many times in the past. They hastily nerf a class instead of actually sitting down and taking things slow, to make sure the nerf is needed and will not invalidate the class entirely.

By the time they come around to actual balance, many people would have given up, left or rerolled, which is just bad for the game as a whole.

Why can't they just take a moderate, sensible approach for once, and if they really want to fix the problem, why not address the root causes of it?

In a game I played before, there was a lot of QQ about the AOE of one class (H). The devs said they are toning down the AOE of all classes, because it is higher than intended, but they are going to start with that class (H). They destroyed that class' AOE in the following patch.

What happens next patch? They buff the AOE of another class, and give an insane AOE to third class.

Seriously, just reroll. I have a Champ geared Op (and I prefer healing so I wasn't even Concealment spec 90% of the time) and have rerolled a Sorc.

In a full length WZ I now put out 350K damage/60K heal (shield) at level 25 with half a talent tree and blue gear all while having utility that's so stupidly over the top I just shake my head.
(note: BH Merc/PT is pretty much as good as Sorc)

The devs have no idea what they are doing with regard to balance. I strongly advise you to pick the obvious best class and play it. Your game experience will be 1000% less frustrating.

bin hit a few times by Scoundrels Operatives for 7k+

the current situation for me atm is this .... i regularly get killed inside a stunlock by OP's coz theres just no way to counter the amount of burst they put out, only if im lucky, and they arn't very good, i can run away, if they are good however im dead, no question, no argument

You are noob because always in all wz, the best damage is 7k+.

go to cry

People are running around with over 16k-23k HP in BM gear. Even assuming an opening crit for 6k, how is that instagib? Even after a "mythical" full rotation of crits during the 3s knockdown: 6k + 3k + 3k = 12k. How is that instagib?

First - no one likes to die without being able to do anything. Second - heavy armor classes dont like feeling nude when attacked by operative. Third - you are getting nerfed one way or another.

That is an issue of using your abilitys and nerfing a class will not help you,it's not the class,it's you.
