CaptainInsano Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 (edited) Operatives do good burst. This is an undeniable fact and used to be the way the class was designed. It's a burst class lacking in other areas due to said burst. Now that the burst is being nerfed, Concealment will be a shell of a spec and have nothing to offer a PvP group. Solution: Add a gap closer for Operatives. Make it a Shadow Step ability on a 30s cooldown that teleports you behind the target and you've solved a utility issue (in Huttball) and an uptime issue (PvP and PvE). Now that Operatives will be doing standardized burst damage, they should have the standard gap closer. If Operative burst has to be nerfed to appease the non-Operative majority of undergeared PUG players, at least add something like this to bring the class closer to par with everyone else utility wise. This doesn't solve the DPS issues in PvE but it's a start and it adds a cool new mechanic to the game (shadowstep).

Lord_Karsk Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 (edited) Hey OP, roll a class that actually takes skill to master. They way you slander anyone who is not a operative as bad pug players only makes you look like a complete idiot.

Quesa Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Ops will still have good burst, if the nerfs go through. They just won't *** pwn people coming out of stealth. They'll still be useful, stop crying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love to see him play a Marauder or Sentinel and watch him go WAAAAAA about class balance all the way to the devs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'll still be useful, stop crying. so they will kill people as fast as marauders and shadows, ok well those classes have utility and are a lot tankier, meanwhile the operative is only burst we have nothing else if we lose our damage then we go from one of the best classes to the worst(yes even worse then snipers) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
