Teams of smashing jugs are causing me to unsub

Any high caliber Op player with previous MMO experience (RBGs an example) will probably be opted to call targets. Still highest single target DPS with little ramp-up time. Also with no quick charge to targets and not being ranged all other classes can swap to our calls easier then us swapping to theirs.

Ya they need to make the daily for this 1 instance give black hole comms as an incentive to run this place more then once just to see it. People who can clear this instance have already facerolled EV HM enough times to have all the gear.

Not sure if I 100% get your statement, but Bioware seemed to have designed this class purely around gear. Not sure how we'll pan out with full WH gear but have sub-standard gear? Don't even bother trying to play. Have above average gear? You'll tear things apart. Think Warriors in WoW. Maybe you're right that bioware needs to design the class less around raw damage output and more utility based. Funny how warriors in WoW are in the exact same situation as us right now (pure burst/little utility) and look how we'll they are doing right now ....

Augs got more then half their stats nerfed with a bit of endurance to make up for it

Even after the string of damage nerfs, Ops/Sounds still put the most single target pressure out of any class. Can you blow people up like before? No. But thats fine, like many others mentioned this is a team game. The quality operatives who take PvP seriously and have experience from previous MMOs will know the roll come Rated WZs will be calling targets, as you put out the most single target pressure with the shortest CCs with little ramp-up time needed to start your burst. I agree Ops need some love in the utility department, being a shadowstep/knockback/sprint or a new mechanic, but a properly modded/enh maxed geared/half Rakata Op pre-1.2 was extremely bursty and was warranted a slight tone down.

Been using http://www.torhead.com/skill-calc#401rcfMzhRozZMIhR0kM.1 lately mainly for the Imp Sever Tendon. The root basically shuts down any melee chasing you down and gives you a little utility in grp play. With RN being very lackluster until 1.2 and really only missing out on accomplished doctor, I feel you have more utility going into a WZ and for 1v1 pvp. Of course your burst healing won't be as high, but the root every 12secs is very nice.

Bioware stop being lazy and code this ability in the game. I'm going to use WoW as an example, but there is a reason why mutilate rogues are not viable in endgame pvp (hint: SHADOWSTEP)

PvP - Force cloaked/Shrouded Shadow/sin to keep some dmg on them during the immunity - Finishing off a target on the run when they are very low HP while moving onto your next target if frag grenade is on CD. PvE - Everything on CD and don't have 2 TAs to lacerate and about to cap your energy use it as a quick dump while waiting for other abilities. Rifle shot will generally always be a better option unless you will hit the 100 energy cap. - Being lazy on trash and to look like you're doing something so your energy moves.

A non-mechanical gaming keyboard for $250 is a giant waste. If you feel you have the expendable income to throw down on a gimmick, more power to you. The regular Blackwidow is probably the only product in their entire line that is a good bang for your buck (you can get one for $60 if you look hard enough). It is a solid mechanical keyboard that rivals a Das keyboard in quality for less then half the price. While the Naga is a great mouse, it is still overpriced for what you get and the only reason it's doing so well is because it's the only of its kind.

Thief or maybe Mesmer. Both seem very fun/viable

You should never be going below 60 energy unless you are doing it on purpose when you have adrenaline probe up. Start weaving in rifle shots to keep yourself above that 60% energy mark. I can go on a fight forever with good consistent DPS.

The reason why 502 exp with full BiS is ideal is because you need 2p / Matrix cube (no other 2nd trinket comes close to as good) / and the Scorekeeper is so much better then the BM MH it outweighs the extra 51 exp.
