SWTOR Guide | Operative PVP Advice - Concealment Abilities, Talent Points & Combat tips

[Roflatyoudood]

dont like the specc, i would take the 6% endurance on the first tier middle healing bonus, on selfhealing it gets sick, id only go for the crit and shiv dmg on lethality, and then put 2 points on the left tier 1 medic talent, giving you a faster heal that grants tactical advantage, this makes you a much more overall powerfull and usefull operative in bg, u can trow out some quick heals on ballholder if it will make him score, and you can solokill enemies waaay more easy,

[Roflatyoudood]

@Roflatyoudood also you said you could put out a backstab after the hidden strike, i find this abit dumb, as you have just used acid blade, i would wait for the 6sec acid blade dot to fade before i used backstab to put up a new full duration acid blade, its np getting backstab out in pvp even whitout stunned targets, and fi you just keep ur energy above 60 while healing u can heal alot over a long time whitout loosing ur energy regen.

Nice Vid

[Joelbitar07]

Agree with the spec up until the dots.

Corrosive dart is probably THE most important damage skill you have in the game in 2/3 Warzones. Alderan and Voidstar.

It will win the game for your team. Speccing into it will also let you get the medals so much easier. Also Tactical Opportunity can only procc of poisoned targets.

With that said I liked your guide. Actually made me go and try the Root/snipe combo which I kinda felt like an idiot for not trying before. Huttball here I come!

[Swiftyworshipper]

You increase max camera distance?

PS Some problems here. You undermine the importance of dotting. Not just to trigger Tactial Opportunity, but also for the damage. If you waited until you were 50 before making this video you'd realise that DoTs for Concealment are vital. They are not restricted to Lethality. Acid Blade + Corrosive Dart eats through targets and of course triggers your TO as a bonus.

[gorylek198]

When I was playing the game I focused on mele tree. My tactic was:

~ flashbank to blind (they often use "escape then")

~ backstab while he was "escaping" (or not)

~ stun with knife

~ stab

~ backstab again

And on the last second I went to cover and detonate that flying bomb on him. After that few shotgun shots and they are down. Then vanish and backstab and stab again.

They literaly cant do a shit while you wasting them.

[WoWGirl6]

thanks for the info! I didn't know some of these coz i hardly paid any attention to pvp speccing, but I had already some points in concealment and most in medic, coz I am focusing on healing. but cool! now I know, my concealment points will become of use in pvp. And I use sneak ALL the time haha, bascially when I can use it passing by higher mobs :)

[Thebuttsinferno]

lac·er·a·tion not lac·a·cra·tion just thought I'd clear that up for you

[OculusGaming]

Some advice. We cant tell what you are pointing at because you have 'Hide Pointer' off... Id change it so when you say " This is a really good place to point your points ", we can see what you are actually pointing at.

[haha2341]

Ok first of all, before you all continue saying GOOD VID BRO! Let me say this which was clear to me the first time i read it (i also play Operative), the talent Tactical Adv only works on poisoned targets and when he says i will not be doting my target so i wont get Culling, i get the feeling hes retarded. Never the less, you dont go as far to get Tactical Opportunity, instead invest in more endurance or deffence and stealth level from the 2nd tear of the tree, the two talents on the right.

[PAFprods]

@haha2341 erhm yes you do, but it dosnt rly matter anymore cuz concealment does so much dmg u dont need the dot dmg u only need acid blade

[Joelbitar07]

@PAFprods Burst wont win you the game though. Dots will in 2/3 Warzones. Atleast until they make it so dots doesnt interrupt caps.

[outlaw40k]

Great vid so helpfull I play a imperial agent operative to and how did you get the head peice :)

[tarkonis]

@svtitalianr you learn his 1st language and come back to us. moron.

[LukeRageBar]

Imperial brew is actualy a very good talent and should not. its arguable about if u should take the improved healing but seeing as acid blade is a 17 energy cost ability thats last for 20 secs on you you can easly pop acid blade in to HS, BS get a quick LAS off because Acid blade counts as a poison.

[PAFprods]

@LukeRageBar it does but the increased healing works alot more on your extreme squishyness helping stim heals and group play functionality mostly cuz at 50 u dont solo que

[LukeRageBar]

@PAFprods i agree but like i said arguable. the heal u get from stim is a VERY slow hot and although makes a difference it is far from a def CD. strictly damage wise i guess is what im say it just should not be over looked. you can also go 3 into healing 2 into acid blade(lmfao forget talent names) and take them out of the hiddent strike stun. its very controversial about if the full resolve bar is worth getting of a 100% backstab although good cc wont beable to control when u cc

[PAFprods]

@LukeRageBar i do agree its hard to deside what works the best.. the thing is without that stun you ruin alot of your versatility as it can also be used to knock people in to fires head first or down from ramps etc, but i wil defo experiment without the stun and more acid dmg etc

[LukeRageBar]

@PAFprods what i have found is what u said about is true and also its good against lower lvls so u dont use Cd's on lvl 12's n shit. its good for now but does put u at a disadvantage from a duel stand point at lvl 50 but can be utilized different in WZ like you said above. guess its preference really

[PAFprods]

@LukeRageBar yes indeed.. well as a team player aiming for rated WZs etc coming thats where i want to focus, but then again i feel like this spec is way to easy to play with if you have a team that can keep you up u dont die and u do a bit too much dmg id say, ive been playin alot of lethality atm and i find it alot more rewarding if youre a good player so watch out for a vid on that, thanks mate :D

2:35 Sewer Tenden? WTF???

[PAFprods]

@mcbrite rofl xD

[munkenmedguran]

Awesome vid!!! Now i now how to fucking play atleast lol^^

[IIToMxP]

keep the good work up :) uve got my sub :)

[malakov5]

Nice video, but I disagree when you said you don't rely on dots. Yes, you don't sit back and dot every mob up, but you open up a whole other world of DPS if you keep your poison dart up, and you should ALWAYS be refreshing acid blade on the target every backstab and of course off the hidden strike opener. These are all dots. These are all poisons, which makes that 3% damage to poison targets stacked with 2% TA very much worth it in my opinion.

[malakov5]

@malakov5 eh, I guess for pvp you are right.

[PAFprods]

@malakov5 as the vid says pvp advice :)

[Masebr1]

@malakov5 considering your high dmg i am not taling about pve here at all when you say mob, and they may be good in the long run but as you rely on heavy burst instead of sustained dmg to get in and out of each battle i wouldnt say imperial brew and the last 3% is worth it as i have tried both specs and more different specs aswell.

[ehkinoh]

Question: Did you go with Biochems or Cybertech for PvP?

[PAFprods]

@ehkinoh i did go cybertech although you should rly go biochems due to the overpowered rataka stim atm >.<

[JoshuaRAWRR]

Is BChilled Dyslexic? Not being mean, but he pronounced barely anything correctly..

[PAFprods]

@JoshuaRAWRR it was done in one take for 15 mins and im norwegian im sorry for my accent and pronouncing i am working on it :/

-Bchilled

[TGUGreg]

Guide is awesome, gonna tweak my operative with some of the advice given thanks

[benderbg]

Thanks a lot for this great guide. I think I'm going to roll this bad boy :)

[JefersonSchimuneck]

Cool! This video is Star Wars much! Even your like bar is like a light saber! =D

[endofyou14]

Noob question wtf is resolve for?

[PAFprods]

@endofyou14 if you played wow its like diminishing returns, basicly there comes to a point where youve been stunned or cc'ed too much in a specific period of time and makes you more and more immune to CC at white bare you are 100% immune to pushbacks stuns slows etc.

-Bchilled

[1Hoctar]

Addendum: So you may not be able to get 3 lacerations off in a row unless you're hitting a poisoned target.

[PAFprods]

@1Hoctar target is always poisened due to always adding the acid blade onto backstab when out of stealth to keep it up and keep up the armor pen, il mention stuff liek this in my later vids mate this was quickly done while there was maintancence, thanks ;)

-Bchilled

[1Hoctar]

I don't know if it has been mentioned yet but Acid Blade is what makes Laceration more useful in this spec. If you aren't using Corrosive Dart to poison that is. Tactical Opportunity only regrants Tactical Advantage if your Collateral Strike hits a poisoned target. And you mentioned that you don't always rely on Corrosive Dart to poison as Concealment spec. Unless there are other poisons I'm missing like if Sleep Dart counts? I look forward to the healer video in the future.

[jimilandon]

Hi I am too an operative and just got my ship but i always have trouble finding average armor. I get all of my armor from quests but still seem to always be on the bottom. If there is anything I ma doing wrong please tell me. Thanks!

[PAFprods]

@jimilandon well as a pvper i like to have the 20 pvp set adn 40 set as i go, otherwise i jsut use the drops and quest items and you should be fine actually, if you would liek me to go indepth on stats and gear in next vid i could do it.

[MegaMan001011]

Is anyone of you getting lag in the warzones? I'm getting both framerate drops and around 1-1.5s delay. Pvp is 100% unplayable for me atm.

[PAFprods]

@MegaMan001011 we have 0 issues with pvp atm? if you would liek il look into it if something you can do with it, i know disabling shadows entirely helps tremendous!

-Bchilled

[MegaMan001011]

@PAFprods I'll be sure to give it a try. Right now I'm doing a full reinstall of the client and checking all my firewall settings. It's a long shot but I'm desperate.

[PAFprods]

@MegaMan001011 if there's more you need il check it out for ya mate ;) looking at forums for it atm

[gaurdianangel98]

I know just about everyone and their dog has played WoW but saying X ability is like X ability in WoW can make for a confusing guide for people that havnt played the game in many many years or never played WoW at all. As unlikely as that is, its more likely that some people didnt play a rogue in WoW so may not know what their abilities do.

Other then that, its a decent guide for PVP

[PAFprods]

@gaurdianangel98 yes im sorry, but i did show a visual example of most of those abilities in the pvp footage afterwards and i was talking about it, thanks for the feedback it will improve!
