DevNotes

The text below is a direct quote from the Bioware Combat Dev team with their reasons why are the above mentioned changes needed and what the goal for this discipline is. To better understand their means, check this post: SWTOR Class Balancing Explained: How it works and why is it NEEDED

The Concealment / Scrapper discipline was dealing more DPS than intended, so we made a couple changes to shrink it down a bit. These changes allow the Concealment Operative / Scrapper Scoundrel to still deal decent burst damage while having their sustained damage output brought in line with the DPS target.
