Stims or not, Operatives/Scoundrels crit all the time.

Think about YOUR CLASS. Regardless of what it is, think about how hard you hit when you actually get a decent crit. Well, Ops/scoundrels crit like that ALL THE TIME!
This could be the issue but I think Crit rate would need to be addressed across the board. That and the fact that Surge becomes ridiculously powerful at high (gear) levels. The difference between a Scoundrel/Op Crit rate vs say a Jugg/Guard or Sorc/Sage would be the gear stacks that stat more naturally. But the actual Value of Crit in terms of usefulness may be too high in the game overall.

I get it...
Tell me how they can know my CC breaker is up or not or tell me they can know i'm even here while i'm stealthed?

As far as I'm concerned, if you're stealthed, you're not capping objectives. You're also not killing me - apart from the opener. I know you can defend a bit from stealth, at least against one opponent. That doesn't seem overpowered.

With all my heals off cooldown - and with a 5.5s delay at the start, they pretty much are - I can heal myself from 1% to full in 12 to 17 seconds, depending on your interrupts. Either my bubble was up and ate a chunk of your opener, or even better - I put it up after the stun is over and you have to get through it with your plinky non-opener DPS.

I don't care that I can't kill you if you can't kill me.
And there you go. If I can't kill you, I'll go kill someone else. Not sure what the issue is.
Preventing Hackers and Exploiters from ruining the game is not a priority. Preventing you from mentioning the fact that they exist and go unpunished is.

Actually reacting in half a second is slow. You SHOULD be able to react in 0.03 seconds. It takes less than that time for the signal to get to your fingers. The reflexes of most people catching an object falling off the table are around that fast. So you're should be at least that fast.
Actually, human reaction time is more like 400 ms. That's 0.4 seconds. You are not special. You cannot react in 0.03 seconds.

Eh? You realize most other classes hit that hard? Hell, I am a tank in PvP and I am just a little below that and I am not even in full PvP gear.

If i got the jump on them i was destroying them, if i trinketed and used CC / defensive CD, i was destroying them.

In all honesty i always thought that operatives had an opening burst pretty ridiculous wich needed some kind of nerf but, toe to toe, they are rather weak.
The problem is that even when i survive the opener with my trinket i get a flashbang in the face then vanish reopen ... dead .
I dont think im a bad player . I used to have 2k5 rating in wow so ithink i should be able to "do" something . I dont have an issue with losing a fight . I have an issue with the fact of not being able to do a thing . I got the opener 3 times on an operative today ... he "TANKED ME " and killed me 3 TIMES with NO opener !!! I was like *** !!! I imediatly checked my gear and everything ... i think i m gonna give up

That number is probably muddied by people who don't play reflex intensive games, and have no reflex training/adaptation.

Sucker punch is free and spammable for 3 hits if the stars are aligned. The stars usually align in this manner if you're in an open/exposed fight.

My sucker punches do 1.8K to 6k dmg.

An operative can't "tank" anything. Scoundrel/Op is probably the squishiest class in the game.
Overtrebel, a right and proper scoundrel
