Anyone else finding their companion bugging out way more often lately? it's really doing my head in :( constantly getting stuck/not following or deciding by himself to stop assisting, odd. :(

I'm guessing you have never had them use stealth to get behind you, stun you and take away 3/4 of your health before you can do anything... Just hope Bioware nerf them correctly so they aren't too underpowered..

Recently? I had that problem randomly since release. More annoying when. My companion would randomly aggro additional mobs.

Yes, 1v1 is exactly the reason they are being nerfed.

It's not even funny the way they play in pvp. Stealth up to you, jump out of stealth and stun you, backstab you about 3 times before you can even break and respond.

If you manage to break out and counter stun or knock them back after that, you have about 1/3 or 1/4 of your health left. Now you can try killing the full health operative.

If you're slow or a noob, you stay stunned til you're dead.

That isn't cool considering the time, exposure and risk required by any other class to attack and kill another player.

Because of their stealth and in fact escape stealth ability they can pick and choose at very little risk to themselves.


The damage itself isn't really the problem, it's the damage AND the ability to attack anyone at will AND escape to do it again no matter how many players were there.

If my Commando gets the drop on a low armour and unshielded character I can unload in about 4 seconds enough damage for them to be considered walking dead unless they get major help.

The flip side of that is you can see me coming a mile off, a cannon toting trooper is not very subtle about things. You have a fair chance at least to shield yourself.

An operative jumping you? They can follow behind your team til they find someone unshielded and literally kill them among the team before much help can occur.

Plenty of times, but I also know how to beat them 1 on 1. Obviously its easier for some classes than it is for others.
 
Unbreakable Will, Force Cloak, Maul, Electrocute for starters.

And if you start balancing gameplay around 1on1, how do you then balance it for group pvp? You can't.

People always whine about 1v1 balance and miss the key issue, which you mentioned, which is overall battle balance. Every class contributes in some way but people just go waaaaaaah I got killed NERF HIM!!! and it quickly becomes a horribly unbalanced game with dev's wasting time on 1v1 balance every patch day rather than sorting real issues.

Newsflash you are not supposed to dominate every class! Certain classes will feel the same against your class and next up you will be the one getting nerfed when it's not needed.

I suppose it's different for a class which can counter-stealth out of it.

Anyone who can't has rather limited choices as a low hp vs a full hp char and survival after a stealth attack like that relies on someone else helping while they need no help at all to kill you.


Operative/Scoundrel is an opportunistic 1v1 class but it's excessively good at solo killing targets. I can't think of any other class abilities which let you so completely trash a target of choice.

If it's been decided they can kill a target too quickly like that then I'm not going to shed any tears for them as I consider their stun killing fairly unreasonable (from the POV of a class with no escape abilites at all).

Working together in pairs or even jumping on players occupied by other fighting, operatives are unstoppable, if you want to see amazing group pvp with operatives, thats it and still will be even with a 20% nerf to hidden strike.

Isn't that the reason they got nerfed? Because 1v1 they WERE dominating any class. Quite probably down to the way they are able to and tend to attack players as and when they're not expecting it.
