i leveled pure healing, (because that was where i planned on ending up anyway). I had no idea how easy i had it until i started running my sniper alt. Just remember your interrupts and you can handle anything solo throws at you, and still be ready to jump in and heal a heroic or instance if the situation arises.

i think you forgot a few details, like which fight you're having problems with.

upgrade your gear, upgrade your companions gear, Make certain you're using all your interrupts and stuns, failing all that....go grind a level or two in pvp/flashpoints/space missions.

ofc everything is about bosses, because everything else can be facerolled through. he's arguing hard numbers and theorycraft while your derping about your feelings.

force beding isn't the problem, that was a bug, we've known it was a bug and was getting fixed, consumption being free was kind of a core mechanic however. that's going to really screw our ability to sustain.

I have to admit, i came in as a panicky, end game healer. But....if we're being honest, it was a little OP. i mean, i can go essentially forever, casting full out, and so long as i'm reasonably careful with the AoE loving, i'm an endless mana regenning machine, never dropping under like 80 percent. Still, to just casually flat out remove a core mechanic of the class, with no warning, or explanation, like on the weekly Q&A.... i have to admit, i'm feeling like they could've at least given us the reach around. Ah well, the cycle of nerf goes on, next time it'll be someone elses turn. I can't really cry too much that i have to do some resource management, we'll see how it works out in practice.

bubble, heal, laugh yourself silly while they tie themselves down pounding on a healer they can't kill until someone comes and ganks them.

I don't understand why this thread is even still here. it's someone crying about some crap on the test server, with no context (how this fits into testing, upgraded crystal recipes in 1.2 etc) . it should have been made in the test server board to begin with.

how're you being forced to run stuff for crafting mat's? you can pretty much skip the crafter gear entirely.

um, that links to page 4 of some random thread.

hang on. the OP did pretty much set himself up to get trolled, by freaking out about a known bug with an easy work around. he probably could have learned that trick by asking in fleet chat, or 5 minutes research of the fight. he did not. he came in crying it was broken, which, while it is.... completely not in the way he was crying about. Then we have the youtube vid "demonstrating the bug" which actually demonstrates a raid doing a number of incorrrect things, and completely failing the last phase of the encounter. he doesn't just reset. he resets after you've failed the encounter, the bug is the lack of raid wipe. all in all, i'd say being a jerk was if not justified, at least understandable.

pretty sure i can't RE anything i didn't make.

HP is being reduced in 1.1.4 according to test server notes, and they mentioned it in the Q&a, it's getting nerf'd.

um. no, you have to drag him under the drills. after he casts mind trap, the tank needs to taunt again. he currently drops ag, (fixed in 1.1.4 accroding to test realm patch notes) but the shield, you're just doing it wrong. get him under the drills, pull your camera out. He despawns if you miss too many drills. sometimes he just kills everyone not in a mind trap first. (we just killed him last night, at least they fixed the bloody platforms)

Once i got andronikos, i never took khem out again, unless the story forced me to. either turn off his aoe's, and cc or just blast everything.
