The Operative Nerf

the 4s stun will fill the resolve bar, also many abilities can be done while standing up (defensive CDs and stuff that doesn't require animations) so you take a chance if you wait for the stun.

Assassins know this because of dealing with spike, you're best to use spike, 1 ability then stun immediately or they will be able to use something defensive to mess with you.

Well, then Operative will just have to get you noobs to use cc break on flashbang wont we?

Ok lemme break it down for ya:

1) You can come invisible at AN enemy.

2) He stunlocks AN enemy.

3) 10k to AN enemy. (few GCD? 10k? really? that's not so bad, I do that in 3-4.5 secs and I don't need stealth.)

4) How did he gain distance? Game has dozen of snares, roots and stuns.

5) Vanish is a problem in wpvp. Warzones it means you failed, you can be scanned to death or at the very least your team will die. Good operatives use it offensively to get extra dmg NOT to try running away the tail between their legs.

So I say it again. Don't take 8v8 and make it 1v1. If your team does nothin' well then it's your teams fault. Yes, operatives will sometimes catch some people off guard 1v1 but that doesn't make them op if they're strong in that ONE particular case.

But yes, nerfing PvE because of broken PvP mechanics is dumb.

LOL I wish I could do a 3.5k hit let alone a 10k hit - gotta love the imagination.

QFT Put Acid Blade back at 50% armor break. Need that for pve

eh.. evade/vanish cleansing dots/immuning to most aoe is a bit silly IMO. I would rather see it turned into allowing in-combat openers or something than have it be a frustrating basis for future nerfs.

You're right about the world pvp vs warzone/objective comparison, but stealth definitely has its own advantages in WZs. Standing safely on the other side of the pit in huttball waiting for a pass is one of my favorites. Even though world PvP obviously doesn't count for much in this game, evade/vanish does sort of make the best griefing class into an even better griefing machine.

There should be a better way to keep the combat effectiveness without the get-out-of-jail-free card.

It's okay - I still hit Guarded by the Force (costs 50% of my life to reduce damage by 99% for 5 seconds) out of reflex the split second an Operative gets on me. It was a good idea, as I usually preferred to have 30ish% life over 0% and put up a token resistance before dying.

It's gonna take me awhile to break that habit, so take advantage!

holy **** will these mouthbreathers not rest until OPs are completely erased from the game? They nerfed our burst AND sustained dmg by 20% and now they want to nerf our stun capabilities as well? Why not just remove our abilitiy to wield weapons, or wear armor? Nerfing our burst was one thing, but to remove our only control abilities would basically eliminate the class from PvP entirely.

Karma is a *****, ain't it?
