most overpowered pvp class

I've seen it done since then. Probably has to be against someone in centurion at the best, but still possible.

If I get the jump on you... me. (Sith Assassin)

I believe that sorc becomes very useless. Merc can still be somewhat viable with dps.

extremely unlikely. fully buffed i can almost hit 4k crit. around 3.8 to 3.9k vs very soft targets. if anything we sorc/sage need some debuffs to compliment our dmg. debuffs dont have to come from us.

i quoted the wrong post ;(

yeah you meant to quote me I think.
I can't find it right now but about a week ago there was a "whats you biggest crit" thread running and some sorcs posted some screens for 5k+ crits.

The fact is no class, except smash JK/SW are critting for 5k without relics, adrenals, and some luck.

For damage classes in WZs (not dueling) 1.1.5:

1) Mara
2) Powertech
3) Assassin
4) Sorc
5) Sniper
6) Jugg
7) Operative
8) Merc

At least mercs are the overall best pvp healer in the current patch.

You guys are really missing the whole jist of 1.2. with the upcoming changes to fit band adjustment, ear flap mitigation and the color wheel coming off the GCD, the Dark Habidasher class will pwn all. Personally, I can't wait to use sunder baseballcap and AttachColorfullTulip.

Unless one of them is a Sniper...then smash kill them and move to the next. Snipers die faster/easier than any other class in the game.

To all those who say assassins (or operatives) are OP:

You must be one terrible PvPer.

If you're trying to 1v1 a stealth/stun/burst based class... then you deserve to be owned over and over again. Assassins are only so called "OP" in 1v1 situations, and technically they're not OP because they SHOULD own you in a 1v1 situation. Assassins fall off pretty bad if they run into the fray, they're meant to stay hidden or out of the fight and then pop in to clean up. If they get popped on while their still setting up for an attack or have more than one person going for them, they're easy to take down. I would say they're probably the closest advanced class to being balanced. Their burst isn't crazy stupid, they have some utility but not over doing it, they aren't super squishy but still easy to take down, and they're CDs/resources balance out well. Yeah, the tank hybrid can be stupid sometimes but so is every tank hybrid. People need to stop blaming their failures on the system and realize that maybe they just aren't as good as they think. I've played almost every class in high level PvP (meaning not all advanced classes). None of them are anything special, they all have their ups and downs. Majority of the time it's just the players being terrible the game or their class.

P.S.

Merc/Commando 1 button spam isn't OP because it nerfs their damage output pretty badly. So, unless they have a buddy helping to take you down (in which case, they're doing what all of you should be doing) they shouldn't be much of an issue.

most people have no clue what OP is...

OP is a class that make you win or lose a warzone

an extra Shadow that know how to sneak/stealth/stun/pull/push in the right moment make you win/lose

an extra sentinel no matter how good he is wont make you win/lose a warzone (may make you win or lose damage graph)

yes Shadow is OP not because have the highest crit not because win 1vs1 not because killed me or you or 2 noobs

And my main is Shadow &Sentinel but i play Commando and scouldrel too

but because ALONE he can make the difference between WINNING a warzone and LOSING a warzone

and if u dont understand this or u only play Shadow and u have no idea how other class struggle or u are just playing the shadow wrong because he is the one that 50% of the time MAKE YOU WIN

a Sentinel has higher crit for sure has higher total damage of course probably win 1vs1 why not... but he will never make the REAL difference in a warzone ULESS YOU ARE STEAMROLLING SOME NOOBS where u kill them countless time and sentinel can kill 3 at the time
