They killed a whole class

Operatives still rock. You should try playing some of the other classes before you say this stuff. Melee classes suck retty hard compared to operatives... especially in pvp.

There's quite a few of you that see vanish as an offensive maneuver when a majority of the time, at the upper echelons of pvp, it is solely an escape mechanism.

Why? Because people aren't instagibbed like what happens in your fantasy land. You're struggling to kill a adequately geared 50 and something goes awry.

Healers are hard to kill for anyone because you know they can heal? Also personal experience may vary due to how well geared various people are.

Apparently you have never seen the damage a good marauder or sent can put out.

I have a sniper sentinel and assasin. Ive been on the recieving end of op/sm weapon on all of them. The biggest complaint was while i was playing defencive tank and would get killed before getting to hit back or standing up at 30% health which made fighting back pointless as my combat stealth did nothing with dot on me. You cant expect people to save the unbreakable will just for that stun while in a warzone. And not having it up pretty much meant you were dead.

And every dps spec in the game has 1001 ways to prevent us from healing, if people would think to keybind their interrupt, stuns, knockbacks, etc.

With no Knockbacks or sprints, no sustained dmg, spongy armour and now no burst, what good is our class? seriously, if you die from a scoundrel/op with full HP play another game pvp is not for you, hell i can surive for 4-5secs with my lvl 11 Bh against high lvl ops/ scoundrels. I totally agree that no class should be able to kill another class in 2 secs but you cant massively nerf the only thing our class is good at without giving something in return, to many whiny idiots play this game and when there class gets nerfed will be complaining same as ops/scoundrels are, If the last patchs and time schedules are anything to go by, i doubt bio-ware did much testing before implementing this nerf.

When i play tank i guard my healer zealously , killing a healer in a warzone is more of a team effort because of guard aoe taunt etc. Alot of times the ops/smug just ignore my healer after a few times and either kill me while i was running to him or pick someone without guard. There are multiple situation that can happen here. You dont always get to use an interrupt. I think some of the republic classes interrupts have awkawrd animation times so they can get stuned while doing it.

Battling a competent healer in a 1v1 is one of the most difficult PvP encounters for an operative. It is a given that we consistently use properly placed interrupts and CCs.

Catching a healer when he is preoccupied is a different matter; I think you're referring to this type of situation when you imply killing a healer is or should be easy.

fotm ops ruined, skilled players will adapt and overcome.
