I agree with all but the above. I only do partial key-binding for marking targets, dropping into cover, Diagnostic Scan, and the Ops cleanse. I click everything else and I do better than ok.

I don't leave warzones anymore. When I am in a losing match I put in work to get up to 8 medals or as close as possible healing and dps'ing then I shut it down. I go stealth and afk for a few. I've found that watching failure is much more fun that quitting and sitting in the queue.

Been a cybertech since I created my toon and am just now rollin a biochem. The grenades are great once every 3 min because they completely ignore resolve. But I absolutely love Exotech stims.

Operative DPS is designed to move a person out of position. Hidden Strike is the perfect counter for a Sniper's strike style. Get in close with and hit with a heavy opener (if entrench is not up). Sever Tendon ignores Resolve, and when spec'd is a high damage root (1k+ w/ crit). Backstab applies poison that is very powerful since 1.3 and within the first 3-4 tics has taken upwards of 2.2k dmg on it's own. Operative DPS gets attention quickly. What happens when that attention shifts to you, that is when the fun actually starts.

Not sure what the OP is looking for. This thread is filled with opinion, though "proof" is in the title. My main is an op. When I go concealment I focus healers and DPS classes first to either take them out of the fight or force the respawn. I have the skill set to allow me in closer to those specc'd for stealth detection and cc or run my opener-->rotation. (Generally top 3 in objective points and DPS when I am not lazy.) Btw i can still crit heal for over 5k with a decent proc. When I go heals I can crack between 3 and 5 (6k) heals back to back with crits and instant cast 2.9k Surgical Probe heals (3x) in succession. There is no other class that can heal someone to capacity from less than 10% faster. Unless the match just ends quickly I never fall below the 250k mark in WZ (that's winning or losing). Btw I can still backstab for over 3k with a decent crit if my hand is forced That's my experience, against good and bad. If I lose it's because I didn't support my team properly by recognizing what was needed and adjusting. The operative has more utility (albeit diminished) than any other class.

So I call it and then run into it before the first strike hits and drop back into cover.....you can't stop it big guy. Artificial limitations don't necessarily work in a fictional setting.

No.....this is a video game.

You don't notice a difference because you are probably good at at the game and gear is less important in the grand scheme of play. WH is worth it because it allows your awareness and focus to go to the next level. You can "feel" that small piece of extra power that isn't the edge you need, but the edge you can use to defeat your enemy or support your team. Get it at your own pace and discretion, just so long as you get it.

If I'm pug'in I ask up front so I know what the group is doing. But I will also react off of what the opponent does. (Think of the option route in football). Plans should be flexible initially as well as further into the match. If I am in a pre-made with a mix of pugs, we normally will dictate what our plans are (usually holding mid) and we let the pugs loose to wreak havoc, score, and generally throw the other team off balance.

Anyone giving Richardya 2 seconds of thought and replying to this thread in the hopes of a serious response has already been trolled. I'm not sure if he just snapped or if he's trying the political approach and speaking to the extreme circumstance. Do yourself a favor and look at this thread, but don't touch.

You're being unrealistic with you expectations. I'm sorry but PTs are supposed to be vicious. I don't play one, but I wouldn't have it any other way.

This overglosses what I've said in the past about Ops dps, but it is true. Ops needs a very high level of situational awareness to not get burned to the ground when they come out of stealth (or a pocket healer). That is not to disparage any other dps class. But truth is truth.

You get good and bad when you pug; what's your point? What I'm saying is that no one (including you) can out DPS my heals on myself. If you don't get, I'm pretty sure I can heal myself and another person (Kolto Probes) ugly easy.

I don't think there is any 1 player in this game that can out DPS my heals on myself. That's cycling Evasion and Shield Probe for defensive; Debilitate and Flashbang for cc; and Kolto Probe, Infusion, Surgical Probe, and Kolto Injection for healing.

Don't touch my stealth. Ops have already been pillaged of talent to the point of generally lacking in all areas save for healing.
