I just killed him 5 minutes ago, after about 7 attempts. Had to use all my heroic moment skills. I will admit i was suffering from some annoying lag spikes and the old "action delay" (which I have been getting all day cant belive it still exists) Once he goes into the spawing phase he goes bersek and kept killing me a few hits, something is quite wrong with that boss. Killed the Dashade first time.

Could someone please give me an idea of what defence stats I should be aiming at before I start HM FP's and maybe SM Ops? ty K.

Wow that is a lot to read Yes it gets an awful lot harder for a healer in the level 50 bracket, You'll get marked, focused and burnt down pretty fast by those War Hero's, Its quite a tough class to play in PVP pretty much zero manoeuvrability and escape mechanisms, sometimes you just have to stand there and take it! As healer your performance is often dictated by the quality of your group, that’s not something you can really affect. In the 50 Bracket its easy to see the good tanks, dps'rs and healers, Tanks wil guard you providing you play well. Good players usually get noticed. Some things that I always try to do are; Never stray far from the your teammates Never go an defend/attack an objective on your own Use hammer shot sparingly Save all your cooldown for when you "really" need them Heal appropriately based on the attackers class Use LoS where possible to break combat Triage, Triage, Triage! Above all practice makes perfect You wont being keeping anyone alive with not quite doing enough healing or not quite doing enough DPS, I just dont feel hybrid work.. I rarely even bother Dpsing, just concentrate on doing one thing really well. Im not quite sure what you are getting at here, your healing target should be whoever can be healed/saved most efficiently. Tanks can be left a little longer as they better survivability but I always keep an eye on the other healers, keeping each other alive can often be the turning point in holding and capping objectives. RK.

I use the group finder to pug often, dpsing or healing I have not had many bad experiences, when you queue you have expect the the unexpected, if the group as whole wants to skip cutscenes, mobs then so be it, I tend to follow the tanks lead whatever.. Had a recent experience where I was healing Kaon HM where the tank argued with one of the DPS all the way thorugh. Had another group where the group finder queued me as healer instead of DPS which was funny. After about 10 mins, the tank said who's healing! at which point I realised it was me

I use it often.. and I have had very few problems, managed to aquire a columi healing set and fill in my rakata DPS set with BH pieces. I think its been a great addition to the game.

Couldn't agree more all your doing is complicating things for your group, just tonight a sentinel kept doing it. So I let him die twice and made sure his HP stayed around 50% through the trash... that put a stop to it!

Regardless of wether im healing or damage dealing, I have had very few negative experiences with the group finder, At first I was very cautious about using it, I have never been a fan of healing pugs, however my experiences have mosty been positive. I dont mind in-experienced players, if I need to help a healer in I will do, its not a big issue & bad players just need to learn too, I generally dont like to critisize I prefer to adapt,,but lazy players should not be tolerated its just unfair on the rest of the group. K.

Last week, I queued in my DPS set and spec, after a boss or two, the tank said who's healing to which I replied "not me" followed by ... "uh oh..." yes it is me! I switched to my healing gear and finished the FP without a hitch. First and foremost, as long as the player is competent and gear willing, and it should be ok. I wouldn’t do that on purpose, I generally don’t think that is fair on the rest of the group. k.

Funnily enough.. I accidentally healed Taral V HM as dps spec in my healer set tonite.... oops Aside from me doing silly things like this, the 4 set healer bonus & alacrity feel a bit underwhelming. Im sure in a raid situation it would be quite different. Well the next test is to do somehting silly like this in a raid hehe. k.
