It blows my mind that operatives got a stupid good set bonus and a tactical that makes them the best PvP class for killing anything right now.

Exfiltrate has a 6s cooldown with set bonus and they get 2 Debilitate stun charges that they can also spec into have a lower cooldown. Veiled Strike does auto crit, triggers volatile substance which can also crit really hard and then get a 50-60k backstab auto crit without positioning requirements. This whole setup takes players down to 50% hp in just 3 button presses 90% of the time. You can break the first stun but you'll get stunned again and if you don't break the first stun you're dead anyway. There seems to be no way to really counter play at this point in time against this setup. PvP is full of operatives now just abusing how strong this tactical is along with the set bonus. Operative was in a fine place before; strong but not too strong and still able to hurt if you played it correctly. However, now you just have to press 3 buttons in the right order and you do nearly 100k in 2 GCDs, more than any other class that I've seen.

That's not even the right setbonus. There's a better one...

Not really 60k. Closer to 40k-45k. But your point has been made.

Here's where I agree with you. There are a lot of FOTM rerollers. Fortunately, op still has a high"ish" skillcap. You can still die easily on operative.

Seriously lolyawn

If they only doing 50% what have you got to worry about?

I can pretty much 100-0 someone in seconds even in lowbies with 0 tacticals.

But seriously, Insta aids volatile tactical from stealth, use ur veiled to trigger, critstab, vanish & equip acid lash and spam lacerate

Yeah, I think this is the main reason most have been complaining about sins rather than ops. I think ops are possibly better at the highest level, but it's harder to be good at op in the first place.

70-80% ppl (and almost 100% in ranked in my game sessions) on warzones are rollymolly meta opers and scoundrelss

Need high skills? Really? Roll-resist-roll-resist. 1-button gameplay

Yesterday I saw one lethality operative and wanted to hug him like last hero in meta world.
